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.

The Bills beat them last time and made Watt a non-factor by RUNNING, a lot. Often at him too. Probably one of the most run heavy play calling the Bills did at a time when they were already run oriented. I suggest the Bills do the same! Watt and Clowney are no joke if Allen holds the ball.

Out of work WRs by week 6 would take money to come here, especially a 1-2 year deal! As for Allen... if he had some good receivers he could do way more! And all in all, this is a message for the "tank the season for picks" crowd: if you show potential, free agents WILL come here. Otherwise we get second rate ones asking for top dollars. And while the 1st round picks and some 2nds ones you better pick high, all the other ones are basically crapshoots.

Bills don't have the personal currently to do this. But IMO they have the QB! So one great WR and a few good ones, better OL play, and the Bills could indeed become an offensive powerhouse. At least a long pass happy version. Till then, if you can't enjoy a gutsy defense and some good run plays, maybe skip football?

Ha ha. I had never equated the two. Not sure I like having extended my awareness on this, actually ha ha

I still love and laugh at the chart and video. So much truth. And reading the pissed feminist comments on Youtube is good fun too.

BOOM

We watch sports to be "entertained", filled with emotions and thrills. But I agree that most "ugly" wins beats losing 35-38!

This year, forget it. They tried a very vertical, deep pass style offense against the Packers and got ZERO points for it. You adjust your scheme to your personal, period. Even the Josh haters will admit that with his big arm, 2 wideouts with great speed, one being a great overall receiver, could change the Bills offense instantly. But these players, if they come, it'll be next year and beyond...

McCoy has the legal issue with his crazy ex golddigger, custody battle for his son, now these rumors. Guy is mentally tough to perform so well still.

While I agree with some of his issues and weaknesses mentioned in the article, it's so hard to really evaluate a player based on stats alone. Seriously, his WRs have dropped long passes, TD passes, and this last INT wasn't on him. Now, all QBs have dropped passes but he's had more, and at critical times. His stats would obviously look better. And then you just add a few long passes and 80-120 yards become 200+ yards and it's the same damn QB! Exactly the same guy. Just that a better supporting cast would allow some of those long passes that we all know he can throw. He has made very little dumb mistakes for all his shortcomings. So add experience, quicker reads, good wideouts to throw to and suddenly he's a top tier QB! Maybe not top 5 but way good enough to lead a NFL team.

Exactly. And he learns a lot more by "doing little" but being active like in the last game that if he sat out all year watching tape!

Well get ready to cut them off unless the Bills are that dumb. You realize the Eagles need this and want this way more than the Bills, right? They are in a NOW phase that should make them "overpay". As for the Bills, keeping the offense star and team captain could be a tad more important than settling for a mere 3rd round pick! If they want to protect Allen and not lose the locker room - all that worth more again than a measly 3rd round pick! The Bills already have plenty of picks and superstars like Shady don't come often.
