And hopefully Josh is back to play his first MNF

Because they have slightly more picks than the other teams, but mostly, the most cap space by far - AT LAST! So they can hire good FA. As it stands now, the Bills roster is the least paid one in the NFL because of all the dead cap space. So IF, and that's the big IF, they make some good decisions, they are set up favorably for improvement in the league. It doesn't mean it will happen but yes they have the best odds league-wise. Like most GMs and brass, they will make blunders, some bad decisions, overpay a few players, but odds are they should also make some amazing decisions. Now their hands are tied.

So only 4 WRs left including one just activated from the practice squad? Even Brady and Rodgers couldn't do much! It's not like KB and Zay are killing it. And idiots want to call Allen a bust already.

There is such a thing as credible "conspiracy theories". And there is this.

WR corp is one of the very worse in the league. OLine is not as bad as people say IMO but still below average. A rookie QB and a pick-6 throwing one, now adding a rusty average at best vet. Fine. But what do I expect to see? Creativity, misdirections, two back sets, more use of these backs though not always down the middle, more use of the TE, etc. I expect a LOT more scheme wise and play calling than what we've seen, even accounting for all the obvious talent limitations on offense.

Yes! I was shocked he could have missed all of this season AND THE NEXT with the operation! WTH kind of horror is that? The sooner he's back the better And yes, words can be cheap, but again he says all the right things. It shows he has a very good mindset and mental toughness. Those are very good traist to have obviously. But even more so as a NFL QB.

What's great with Hughes and basically ALL the players on that video is that they look legit pissed or dejected. None look aloof or "it ain't so bad and I still get paid". And that's good, very good! Now Daboll, do better damn it.

Plausible indeed but the Bills would never say it as they would be penalized for not disclosing Allen's injury

If he misses 6 games it's bad enough. If it's some of 2019 too, damn! Really, really awful. It looked so mundane as fro as NFL contacts go.

People forget dropped passes and schemes too easily... Also in shootout type of games, offenses get the ball more than in ball control type games And I wonder for my sanity why I even bother. You don't judge a player like Allen in 5 games. Edit: watching the game last night, I was something shocked at how wide some receivers were opened. On both teams. For the Cheatriots too on SNF too. And I recall slow guys like O'Reilly being wide open at times and other receivers too. Why? SCHEMES, the overall playcalling.

That Allen is 4th of the 4 rookie QBs or on par with them, it's close enough. And I, personally, have mostly a good felling about him. Add very suspect gameplanning and schemes, no QB coach (maybe now Anderson will be one of sorts), WRs that really dont help at all, very few deep throws which could be his strong point, slightly below average OLine (no I didn't say bad or worse), tough defenses so far, only 5 games. Give the kid a chance you downers! He might not pan out but again, no clear indication of that so far.

Rushed by Watt. Going backward threw to sideline for no gain. Showed his arm strength but not a great decision, should have just thrown it away. It was one of the best pass for zero yards I've seen LOL

Slight exaggeration but damn we see so much creative stuff that can EASILY BE COPIED. And basic like sweeps and all that can be added more. Baffling.

Not only that. But deep in their zone with so little time to go and a suspect backup QB just thrown in the game, wouldn't it make more sense to try to RUN the clock out and go for OT? Even without the pick, they chose passes, the play before was an incomplete pass and stopped the clock. With how "unspecial" the special teams have been, try to run for a 1st down, go to OT. But yeah, and out route for Peterman, damn. The Bills QBs aren't the best but the coaches - and GM - don't help them out!

Speaking of his arm talent, when will they throw another deep pass? And yes, good story with Drew. His main strength IMO is how fast he processes what he sees on the field. In close ups, you can actually see it going on.

Especially when the RT doesn't line up correctly? WTF was that?

He helped him get up after too. Felt partly ashamed ha ha

Long hair is stupid for two positions, well 3 if some had it: RB, WR, and if it'd ever happen, QB. I was mentioning it to my sons and 5 minutes later Ivory gets pull down by the hair. For others, certainly not a "strategic advantage" but doesn't matter.

What about those special teams? They were special all right... And did they save McCoy for the trade? We didn't see him enough of him, not at all

Yes they suck I admit his seemingly "lack of progress" had dimmed my enthusiasm but it's only 5 games in, people are stupid. If you really are a fan of the Bills, yet you'd rather be right that Allen will be a bust instead of wanting him to success you just suck.

Allen is almost ready ENOUGH for him to start and get to be NFL ready playing. No he isn't all that yet but the Bills are 2-3 with him, and his WR group is among the weakest in the league. He learns as he goes and with some motivated and good WRs, the playcalling could open up more. Hell they put a max protection set, 3 blockers against Watt, and it's then JJ had his sack in this game. Not Allen's fault nor the coaches. Watson was supposedly sooooooooooooooo hot last year. How did he look to you with a a week OLine and only Hopkins open? He outclassed Allen that much? In accuracy and throwing to the right spot at a covered Hopkins, I admit I don't see Allen doing that, but then, with enough game play and practice with a very good WR who knows? Point is Allen isn't as bad as haters say. Not good enough for sure, but showing enough to leave him in there over Anderson (and Peterman but 1% would argue otherwise).

Josh might not have 250+ yard games with a kind of game plan like last week but with a few catches and breaks he could easily be over 150 yards with a similar one. And he learns a LOT more doing this than sitting on the bench or asked to do too much like versus the Packers and ending with zero points. And people that are all about draft picks fail to notice that with the cap space the Bills will able to sign some good FA if, and that's what winning this season can do, if they are an attractive place to play in!

He was the best playcaller on offense. Roman had devised the plays but somehow stunk on gameday at calling the right plays at the right time.

I admit it scares me at times for sure as well but from all his fumbles, has any come from this? I've never seen any so I just accept his style and go for the great ride.

Because it must have been the most run heavy playcalling the Bills did. And it worked.
