    That was a good career from where I'm sitting.  Likely no brain or little brain damage later on too; though maybe arthritis in the leg he broke.  Good bye EJ. Though I don't miss all those clothing trees full of your unbought jerseys year after year.

    It is going to be AJ McCarron.

     

    And I for one and excited, and it's all about that game he had last night!

     

    If he can add around 100 yards passing to last night's game, keep the same number of passing TD's, double his completion percentage, take 4 fewer sacks, and throw zero interceptions, he will be able to match the performance of the great EJ Manuel!

     

    You mean the second half he had last against a non starter defense?  All three of our QBs have looked good in the second half and all three bad in the first.  Likely our o-line vs a starting defense in large part.

     

    Start anyone but JA in weeks 1-4 and thru decide from there.  Our o-line is criminal negligence.  We are unlikely to win those games regardless of qb so don't risk the kid until we better know what the o-line can rise up to.

  3. Bring him back!  Chain him up to a weight bench with nothing light enough to throw within reach.  Unleash him on the opposing defenses after a lot of propaganda as to how much of a dangerous animal he is.  Let them fear.  Maybe smash up his car and leave logos for next week's team on it framing their fans as the culprits. Think fast times at ridgemont high.  We can make this work!  Prove me wrong.  /S

    My larger gripe is that we also didn’t fix anything else. We got Allen. The dude has skills, but also a lot of question marks. Getting your QB shouldn’t mean you don’t get better literally ANYWHERE ELSE

     

    This is to most all of you guys - last year you all wanted the playoff drought ended more than you wanted a rebuild amd now you are griping about the hangover.  You wanted the playoff chance AND the QB - you got em.  But it cost dearly. 

    This is not our year either.  I'm not in favor of purposely tanking but I also do not want to win 8 or 9 feckless games yet again.  I say we play to grow and learn and develop and not to win games.  Not sure exactly what that looks like but there it is. Always forward; never straight.   8-8 perenially is death - as we should well know by now.

    If you wait until Peterman has played them out of the playoffs, then it's not really "both".

     

    I agree with others above--if this was a situation  where it was Allen or a seasoned starter (or at least a seasoned backup with significant starting experience), then maybe this would be a more interesting question.

     

    But Peterman is not that, so it's not.

     

     

    This team is not going to the playoffs though.  Just sayin.  Develop.

    This was stupid. The coaches and players are professionals who get paid. Why would they not try and win?

     

    We are living in todays' world. Who cares about next year at this point, but don't worry because with this

    OL there will not be many wins with whoever is sacrificed at QB this year. 

     

    Why did they go 17 years?  Mediocrity.  8-8 and thereabouts, perenially, is death.    What did we do last year?  The same but with a lot of luck broke the streak is all.  2018 bills are not a playoff team.  Screw wins - train and grow and if that means 3-13 then so be it.  Start Peterman but do play JA plenty as well when blowouts.

    Not sure what Watkins did wrong aside from injuries he couldn't help and drawing attention that no receive on this roster can command.

     

    I think he may.have had a non team player personality and saw himself above the rest.  Not saying I know this but that was the vibe I got and clearly McD didn't like something about him.  

  8. What a difference a week makes.  After game 2 I was saying start the beginning of the season with Peterman due to the o-line and was getting beat up some for it.  Lol.  

     

    This team is likely going 0-4 to start and JA will get chances to come out and play even when not starting I'm fairly certain.  Let's not ruin that confidence he had last week by making him scramble around all day before getting put on his ass repearedly and then having to deal with the fans losing confidence. . .we've been through so many QBs these past 20 years that we should have at least learned how to ruin them so as to not repeat again; maybe.

  9. The bills are very often overlooked or ignored.  Why would anyone be surprised?  Their games are rarely nationally televised and get the lower class announcing team.  How many sports writers etc actually watch most bills games outside of WNY?  But who cares?  "If you brag about her too much it might give others ideas"  ha.

     

    I will say though, their job involves statistics and the statistics do say that the safe bet is to bet against Josh as buffalo has seen many, many QBs come and go since {{Kelly}} and but one feckless wildcard game with a QB we did not even want. 

    I believe in JA from what I saw these past two weeks and reminded my 10yo son, who was at the game with me the first game, that he saw JA's very first time on an NFL field and to remember that if he becomes a great.  But I'm a fanboy of 45 years is all - I would not expect the same from the national media, etc.  

    Let's enjoy under the radar and let JA develope without all the pressure that a Baker is going to have to endure - and god help darnold in NYC-NJ if he stumbles as there is no beneath the radar for him there.  Lol

    Rebuilding year? Did you just come out of a time capsule from the 2017 offseason? Dude, we made the f*cking playoffs, drafted a franchise qb, and will probably have a top 10 d unit, WTF are you smoking??

    2017 bills were not a playoff team in my opinion.  Sure, by definition, semantically speaking, they played a wildcard card game but if anyone here saw a playoff calibre team in the bills last year then that only shows how long it has been since we last had one. 

    And other than JA showing himself to be special, a big upgrade at OC and also at backup RB I'm not sure the 2018 bills are any better than 2017.    Not trying to be a downer - I'm hugely exited for a couple of years from now and also for next week's preseason game - but expecting playoffs with no oline is crazy.

  11. I will say that a part of me selfishly wants JA to start as he was fun to watch.  But if he gets seriouly injured due to a mia online the bills will be to blame for the three years lost time it would likely take to get back to the feeling we went to bed with last night; amd i suspect many.of those now calling for JA in week1 will grow memory loss and blame the coaching for that.

    What better way to spend a "rebuilding year" than giving your franchise QB much needed game experience? Why would you waste, what essentially becomes house money in terms of wins and losses, on Peterman when Allen needs game day reps?

     

    I would agree if not for the serious risk this line may present.  Our starting qb broke his collar bone behind it not 20 hours ago and you guys want JA to get in there?  Maybe the line will get better with more games under their belt but let the first weeks not be JA who is the crash test dummy used to find out.

  13. Just now, PlayoffsPlease said:



    its simple. you play your best players at every position. Allen is better than Peterman at every facet of the game.  If McD starts Peterman he should be fired for malpractice. 

     

     Nah.  No way.  I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you are a lousy card and or chess player.  Playing the best first over and over blindly is not the way to win the long game.

     

    The oline may be criminally dangerous - let Peterman run recon in the first weeks and see just how dangerous it is.  The bills are not contenders in 2018 either way.

  14. JA was amazingly fun to watch.  Woot!  But Peterman should start the reg season.  Many of you do not seem to understand or remember that this is a rebuilding year.   Last year should have been but everyone wanted a dumb playoff game which really screwed us in the draft and caused is to need to trade away picks we needed for an oline so as to get a QB.  

    We seem to have struck gold on the QB but we also know we have a horrible oline.  Why gamble the rookie and maybe future franchise QB we have been waiting more than 20 years for on this season?  We cannot win this season with all the holes we have.  Run defense and oline being big ones it seems.

     

    Start Peterman and spare the kid in the first few games at least.  Peterman will likely have a few really bad days thus allowiing JA to get some game time; he may even get injured as AJ did what with this line.  2018 bills season is not about W-L but about the future.  Losing 12 games is fine - ruining or breaking our new hope QB just to make 8 wins and not 4 is dumb.

     

    Man, JA really looked the part; and then some.  Pre season Game 3 has me more anticipated to see than just about any reg season bills game in recent memory.

    Where does being so convinced he's going to be a bust that you start looking at 2019 top QB prospects shortly after Allen was taken fit?

     

    Sounds like bargaining to me.  You're probably bargaining with the situation as " well, AJ is starting this year anyhow and we do still need more OL and WR adds yet so between Allen, N8 P and the guy we get in round 1 next spring something will bear fruit before the rest of the squad is ready to commence kicking ass."

     

    Mind you, these are not.my thoughts.  I was pissed in the moment but then seeing Rosen act like a thin skinned and spoiled turd before and after he was drafted at 10 I realized we had dodged a bullet there.

    I heard they wanted 12,22,53 and a 2019 1st.

    That sounds like a reasonable ask from the giants going by the discussions here the past months too.  I know many here would have wanted the bills to do that ask too - I am not one though as we need a lot more than just a QB.  We got a top four, blue chip QB and a great lb and kept our first for 2019.

    If so, they could have radically improved their o-line via a trade with the Bills and gotten, say, Sony Michel (who I think is really good even though he might not last more than 5 years).  Is Barkley really that good? Will he even be as good as Kamara or Hunt were last season? I doubt it, but we shall see. 

     

    The bills.were unwilling to give up both 12 and 22 though.  I think.they would have traded back their 2 if a fair price for it.
