    Is it my imagination or does every game seem the same as this one for the most part?

    He is 18 games into his career. His short to intermediate pass game is much improved. He is the best QB of his class. He makes plays.  He is getting better. 

    So far Jackson is the best.

    After seeing Josh Allen's first performance in pre-season last year, I started a thread title "For the love of God, just name Josh Allen the starter" (Mods later changed thread title).

     

    To me Allen is the most likable guy in the NFL, and the most fun to watch.  I so much want him to succeed.  

     

    Yesterday's game troubled me quite a bit.  With two weeks to prepare for the worst team in the NFL, Singletary back,  a upgraded receiving corp including  glue hands Duke Williams and Tyler Kroft active, I expected the offense to be hitting on nearly all cylinders.   

    it appears to me now that Allen and Daboll are simply not a good combination.  Daboll seems to be committed to developing Allen to play in the Daboll system rather than developing a system to optimize Allen's considerable physical skills.  At this point I am not sure they will be successful together.  There is a legitimate school of thought to say that there is a proper way to play NFL QB and Allen needs to learn that.    At the same time I think it is legitimate to say that some teams have been successful (Russell Williams) adapting an offense to take advantage of a particular QBs skill set.   I am not sure which is right.  I will say that I think Daboll's offense would work identically well with Jared Goff as our QB, and I think that leaves a lot of Josh Allen's skill set unused. I don't want to turn Allen into Goff.  

    No matter what offense Josh plays in he will have accuracy issues.  He had them in college and still has them.  I thought pro coaches could help him but it hasn’t happened.  I know his accuracy percentage is up but he still has not developed accuracy with his long ball.  He still has head scratching misses on some shorter passes.

    I’ll be in Orlando for the Fish game next weekend with my 24 year old daughter.  She just moved to the WDW area this week and wants to start making new friends in the area.  Which place would be best for her and me to watch the game next Sunday?

    I went to Kitty O’ Sheas last year for the Minnesota game and had a great time.   I believe the owner is from Kenmore or Tonawanda.

    Honestly I cant buy that anymore. 

     

    We cannot be seeing the same defense from every team every game. If thats the case we should already know how to be successful against it.

    I love Josh but he is not that good.  Barkley didn’t have trouble completing passes down field against the Jets last year.  We can’t keep saying it is the line or receivers.

    Traveling to Nashville this weekend to watch the Bills beat the Kitans. Went on the Titans stadium website and there is no parking offered other than to season ticket holders parking passes. Where do people other than season ticket holders park?? Driving with my wife but will be part of the Bills Backers of Atlanta contingent. We will take over Nashville as we did 2 yrs ago.

    Any help or advice with the parking situation is greatly appreciated.

     

    Go Bills!!

    I am already here and was advised that there are cash lots around the stadium.  That was told to me by the Titans office.

    With the Bills defense showing that they are for real, and with NE being thin at WR with questions swirling about that group, and a 42 year old QB that according to the PatsFans board "looked 62 out there" Sunday, the timing seems right for a late season NE collapse and the Bills to possibly have a shot at the division. 

     

    BUT

     

    We know how this goes: some dumb team will try to save NE by trading them a top WR for a 3rd round pick, or something similar. 

     

    2 issues:

     

    1) Which team/WR will have this honor in 2019? The Raiders TRIED but it didn't work out. Someone else will pick up the slack. I could see Arizona (Fitzgerald) or Cincinnati (Green) being the top candidates for this. Perhaps Minnesota as well.

     

    2) Should the Bills outbid NE by a round both to improve their team AND hurt the competition? 

     

     

    AJ Green has been hurt all year.

    Even Dabol was screaming at him to "use your head". I don't know what to make of Allen anymore.  His deep ball is a joke. His poise today was absent. The offense and ST let everone down.  If there was ever a day Brady was there for the taking, today was it....

    I don’t believe he will ever be a good deep ball thrower.  He also has accuracy issues on other throws as well.  Not sure if the coaches can teach those flaws.

    at 7.6 YPA after being told for months that Allen is what he is: a sub 60% passer.

     

    I argued all offseason accuracy wasn't really his problem after actually watching and rewatching all of his passes along with several of his peers. I really thought he'd be over 60% this season and got a lot of pushback.

     

    Well, we're only 2 games in and today there were definitely some throws he missed (John Brown wants his Td Josh!!!) but, yet again, also throws that were missed by his targets: Knox for sure with a perfectly placed ball and couldn't tell what happened with the pass to Jones in the EZ, but looked like a drop. Last week we all saw the drops from Beasely.

     

    We as Bills fans are probably catching on that Allen can be an accurate QB.

     

    I wonder how long it takes everyone else to see it...

    I would like to see him improve on the long ball.  He had Brown open by 4 yards and overthrew him.  Hopefully he starts to put a little more air under it.

    1.   Phillips.   He was great.  In on a sack.  Hard his hands up to knock down a couple balls.   Great game for rotation. 

     

    2.  Neal.   Great is special teams.  And sure handed with some good open field tackles. 

     

    3.  Our much criticized punter.   Was solid and boomed a few.  

     

    Any others?

     Morse.  Watch him on the 2 rushing touchdowns.  He is a stud

    Championship teams continue to improve and fix flaws even while they're winning.  They don't just accept that fact that they won and go home. Obviously we're all ecstatic to be 2-0. But there's more things to work on. 

    This team has to find a "killer instinct" in spite of Sean Jauron. 

    No doubt.  We have numerous flaws but people seem to find the negative in good times.  We still have a long way to go to be a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.
