I love they way are playing this season so far. They are winning and playing entertaining hockey. Hopefully they keep this up.

Aren't you adorable, trying to be me.
I am just saying. You always make a big deal about people being negative about the Bills but you are always negative about the Sabres. I bet you didn't even see the game yesterday.

First win of thirty!
^this guy ?.
According to him you can't be negative about the Bills but he is always down on the Sabres.
I am glad they are off to a good start and hopefully it continues Saturday for the home opener.

Mechanics and decision making. The other stuff flows from there. At Wyoming he couldn't get past his first read. This year, with the exception of last week, he has for the first time begun making reads and going through progressions. Same thing with mechanics. There are times were reverts to old habits, but his mechanics have taken a big leap forward. At Wyoming he was just a non stop mess.
He is still turning the ball over a lot every game. I honestly believe a lot of the belief that he is better cause they are 3-1. If Allen was even average in all of his starts they should be 4-0 and have blown out the Bengals and the Jets.

I think Allen just choked. That is, he started out playing tentatively, nervous, whatever, got lousy results, then felt the pressure more, than pressed to make up for things that went wrong. He lost focus. He has very specific things he's supposed to do on each play, and I think he lost focus on those things, because of the pressure and because he felt he needed to make plays.
McDermott knows he has to get him refocused and on track. I agree with others that it wouldn't be the worst thing for him to sit against the Titans and then have the bye week to get back to his more under-control self.
While he did choke, I don't think he lost focus. He played like he always plays. He will always want to play hero ball. Its just who he is. He will make plays but also will have the INTs to go with it. Where has his deep ball accuracy gone? So far this season its been pretty bad. I expect growing pains but to still have these moments of bad decisions should start to be less and less. So far this year he is making a few every game.

Disagree. He has had some picks to be sure, some his fault and some not. But he has been solid overall till yesterday and being able to bring your team back from deficits is a good thing to have in your young QB.
i’ll say It again: get rid of the dumb late throws downfield trying to make something out of nothing and get rid of fading back too far in the face of the rush (can’t tell how many times I yelled throw the ball yesterday) and the kid will be really good. He was doing that for the most part the first three games; he didn’t yesterday. How much that was him not being ready for the big game, how much was it Belichick, hard to say.
He has been playing hero ball ever since he got here. I don't think it's going away any time soon. IMO I don't that will ever go away. He is going to be an inconsistent QB his whole career.

Yesterday was bad. No one is arguing that. But quit making other rookies out to be great when they have a good game and pooh pooh when Allen did. Young QBs take time to develop, Jones will have bad games too. So will Minshaw. Allen got schooled by a master in Belichick. He needs to learn from it. No doubt.
The problem is Allen has had more bad games then good. I get that most of you are excited cause of the comebacks but other then the Giants game he hasn't played that well.

And they will have tough games as well. Will you be on here saying that when they do? Because all young QBs will have their ups and downs.
I know young QBs have their ups and downs. The difference is Allen has been down for most of it this season. Comeback wins are all well and good but you will lose a lot if you turn the ball over like Allen tends to do.

He is fun to watch and 4 comebacks in 15 starts is a decent beginning.
I guess after all the bad QBs,since Kelly, anything looks better.

So why don't you become a Jax fan or cheer for the G men?
JA is the Bills QB and for at least 4 more years barring serious injury.
Then you are in big trouble. It's fine you want to cheer for him to succeed. I don't think he will be that top 10 guy. You guys keep saying it's only been 15 games but some other first year QBs look better in less games.

Stop with the rational takes. There's emotions to be vented.I know you and others don't want to see the negatives. You want to BILLieve so bad but Allen is not good. How is it 2 first year QBs look so much better in their first 4 games then Allen has in 15?

Optics on allen plainly show he is a large cut above any of the previous qbs they have trotted out there since kelly.
That's not saying much. Bills fans must look at what good QB play is.

No has he even played 16 games yet?
How many games are you going to give the kid? Thats always the answer Bills fans give. I'm sorry but their is QBs in their first season who already look better then Allen. Minshew in Jacksonville has played much better in his first 4 games. Has a completion % of 69% and 7 TDs to 1 int.

totally agree with this take..he'll be a lot like Jeff George (if anyone can remember that far back) - he'll win some games in spectacular fashion and then a few will be lost due to both hero ball and he doesn't see the whole field (e.g. not recognizing where the safety was on that first interception). If the Bills can maintain a top 3 D they have a chance to make the playoffs each year under Allen but unless its a true "lights out" D the Superbowl will never be in reach.
In this era its hard to keep a top 3 D for a long time. You need that too 10 QB to be able to compete year in and year out.
My question to the ones that believe Allen is the guy, have any of you seen what other 1st and 2nd QBs are doing? Look at Allen in Carolina or Minshew in Jacksonville, both playing really well and not having issues like Allen does.

Yeah cause what I said is true. You can't see it through your rose colored glasses. I realize you don't want to hear the negative.

3-1.
So yeah, you're wrong.
3 wins against 3 bad teams. Their first real competition and Allen and the offense folded.

How is it bu###,. Allen is very inconsistent. If he wasn't a Bill you would be all over him like you were with Mayfield. When I see QBs like Allen in Carolina and Minshew in Jacksonville be much better, you have to question how Allen can still struggle playing QB.

NE isn't running away with anything.in their first test against legitimate competition, they looked pedestrian on offense. I concede nothing.
The Bills offense wasn't any better. Unless they start putting up points consistently, the Bills aren't going to win a lot of games. Allen is starting to look less and less like the franchise.

Secondary market opportunists sell to enemy fans. It’s a disgrace.
It is a disgrace. Buffalo sports fans are known for it. Sabres season ticket holders re sell their tickets all the time. The point of being a season ticket holder is to go to the games cause you're a fan. Not to re sell them to make money.

US fans are very serious, there’s from 5,000 to 20,000 of them in every city with a franchise, and they are at the games.No problems, i meant I’ve never called it a box score for hockey... hmmmm...: I guess the game summary is how I’ve heard it described...
The problem is that there is not enough serious hockey fans in the US.

credibility=shot
Why is my credibility shot? I'm not a fan of how the Bills are defense first team, when offense is what wins games now. As far as the older fan base goes, it gets annoying to hear their love for Blue collar football. I think the Bills fanbase are the only NFL team that doesn't want a new stadium for their team.

You aren't the only one.
Back when the divisions had proper names like Norris and Adams, the sport was completely different. And for me, much more entertaining than what it is now.
Hockey was more entertaining back then. IMO parity has ruined hockey. If they called the game like it's supposed to and let the Star players shine, the game would be much better. According to Joe in Winslow, Americans don't like hockey, so I guess it doesn't matter what the NHL does.
Does anyone call in to Schopp & Bulldog anymore?

You know what would make all these shows better on WGR? Talk about the other team in town that is winning and playing good hockey. Its unfortunate that Bills transplants only follow the Bills. Were any of you Sabres fans before you moved? Or was that before your time?
