So much optimism here LOL Damn, guys.
And you know what? Most offensive plays fail. 3 or 4 tries to make 10 yards, and it fails quite often. So give Peterman some slack unless he throws picks.
-
With Murphy and Ivory, and of course, SHADY, no need for him on this team right now.
-
I've said this before and will say it again: the difference between 10-6 and 6-10 is just a few plays, ref calls, coaches clutch play selection, and, a big one, injuries.
Bills were unlucky to never go in the playoffs in that 17 drought, and seemed quite lucky last year to end it.
So 5-11, 9-7... all probable. Keep up some FIGHTING SPIRIT and let them play dammit LOL
As all the players and certainly the Bills brass, we fans want the team to win NOW. Yet with Allen, less dead cap money + lots of picks + cap space in the coming years, things are looking bright... especially if Josh becomes that elite QB all teams need.

People don't forget about Brady (by the way, who are all the superstars that were late draft picks or undrafted? I got Romo and Warner and that's it)
But the smart money plays the probabilities. The probability of a late-round pick becoming a servicable starter much less a superstar, is very very low.
The probability of a 1st or 2nd round pick becoming a superstar is lower than most people think, but it's higher than the above.
Of course higher draft picks have higher odds to be better! But then, once the draft is done, it's done. Time to evaluate what's in front of you by how they play. And as for superstar players, I didn't write QBs but players. But even so, Brady, Warmer, Romo: that's quite a trio right there! Warner was trowing cans in a grocery, out of football... hard to overtake that storyline. It beats a 5 INT first half.
That being said, I support Nate and all but yes still thinks Allen is the future here. And hopefully an elite franchise QB type of future! I would have been way more excited and on the edge to watch Josh start but will still support the team, QB and coaches to the fullest.

I guess one would hope a 7th overall pick could beat out a 5th rounder from the year prior.
It's like people forget about Brady and all the superstars that were late drafts or simply undrafted or taken after busts, and all the numerous high pick busts. As if the draft was a magical process.
Don't get me wrong: I still can't wait for Allen to be in there! If he doesn't start this year, it means Nate is having one hell of a season and that'll be a great "problem" to have. Otherwise, yeah, I do expect to see Josh sooner than later. And he'd excite me more as a fan, way more. But I'll trust the coaches, and support a guy that has refused to crumble after an horrendous first outing.

Dead cap space is horrendous but mostly on the past regime. Hopefully it quickly corrects itself by the next year or 2020
Difference between 10-6 and 5-11 is a few plays, injuries, etc.
So both are within the realm of very probable. Sobering fact: only 4 teams out of 12 repeated making the playoffs last year...
That's also why Allen pumped us as he brings HOPE. A good QB makes everyone Billeive and play better. But let's not burn the young guy for a 17 years of drought that hapened before him even if he wears #17

Regardless of the fact that McCarron has a little more time in the league and a few more starts, Peterman was far more consistent this preseason. I think Peterman is going to be fine as a bridge until Josh Allen is ready.
They still need 3. Final opinion on this trade depends on who they sign and for how much - most likely one that was just cut
Edit: of course the FINAL final opinion depends on the pick ha ha. But for this year, IMO you can't go with just 2 rookies

I think that while Flacco did not play badly in pre season he is the reason why they will be similar again......when the bullet's fly he simply is not that good.
And we have beaten the ravens in past years regular season.....no reason to think we cannot do it again.
Yes indeed. Besides the 0-16 teams, all teams have beat another, including the bottom feeders. There is always a chance on any given Sunday. I hate the thought process of giving up a game as a loss before it even happened! How many times I've seen people on here count the two games against NE as losses. Sure the odds are greater of that happening than a win, but no one should give up without a fight! That's why they play the game. 0-4 is probable this year yes, but 2-2 or 3-1 or even (gulp) 4-0 is possible! Likely? Nope. But come on.

Im sorry how exactly do we know that "Baltimore is back"?
Missing several key guys
I personally am torn on starting Josh on opening day....not because he supposidly is "not ready" but this offensive line is not ready to give him more then 2 seconds to get rid of the ball....if our OL was playing better I would def start him
Our OL sucks. No getting around that.
But we saw very little sweeps, no rolling out of the pocket that I recall, less runs and a lot more passes that we can expect, no max protection plays with only one or 2 receiver going deep, etc. It was preseason and they wanted to evaluate players, not schemes. So it was the right way to do it. Let's just hope that NOW Daboll and McD will use plays adapted to the talent they have. And yes, some max protection plays with Josh's cannon arm can make one dream...

To the bold: personally, I think to get out of this season, with this schedule, and these players on this team, I would consider a 7-9 record a success.
Ha ha indeed. It's the way he will play that will make people like or boo him. Few people seem to give the Bills any chance to win this season so in that sense Allen could learn with less stress (other that getting killed by a porous OLine...)
I repeat that whatever decision McD takes I support. It doesn't mean he has a free pass for how he handles it after, but seriously, who can say for sure who should be the starting QB for game 1? Pros and cons abound. If he does chose McCarron, THEN he will have more justification to do though!

They can't have that route as an option for him, he was almost picked off in every game he played in on that route. Partially because of his arm, but also because he was late on that throw every time. That ball has to be in the air when the WR is making his cut and when his head gets around it should be about 15 yards from him. When Peterman threw that ball the WR was already coming back and had his head around, giving the DB time to close on the route and almost intercept the ball. In every one of those throws the WR became the defender.
McCarron did the same thing last night and it went for 6
I agree that while Nate does NOT have a stong arm, his near picks have been because he was late. Anyway, take that pass away from him please LOL As otherwise, he's been money.
I wanted Josh in there right away. I didn't change my mind because of game 3. Just because if Nate falters and Josh comes in it's good. If Allen falters, then what? If Nate performs superbly well, then it's a great problem to have! So I'd now side with start NP but with a short leash. But I'll support the decision whatever it may be, as there is no clear cut right one! People will blame McD if they lose (and pretend they knew better) but let him do it as he wants it.

I am a Bills fan first. I was siding with Flutie big time as I really did think he brought them the best chances to win, had the "it" factor in spades, leadership, sensed the pressure super well, scrambled for 1st downs, etc. Johnson was a physical prototype for QB without delevering the goods except from time to time. But his "glimpses of greatness" didn't erase all his "deer in the headlight" moments... and can't compare to the glimpses we've seen from Allen! Josh seems more poised in and out of the field, have more leadership ability, and well, way more physical ability too. It remains to be seen in real games with more complex defensive schemes how he reacts, reads, adjusts, etc. but so fat so good. I'm excited with Allen, that he might be a "franchise QB". I never got that from Johnson. And then we had the FLUTIE CURSE that it took 17 years to get rid of, with #17 arriving now to take over:)

I didn't see the game and reading this thread, I doubt I will! Wow.
As for AJ, what's the salary cap if he stays vs if he leaves, especially as it applies to this year?
If the difference is small, keep him anyway. The Bills need 3 QB. If another QB can be had for the dead cap hit, well, cut him. He still will have made 2M, or even 4,1M? He can take some comfort in that. I know I could

NFL Network is not showing the game live.
They are showing a replay of the game, however, this Saturday morning (9/1/2018) at 6:00am.
I have it at 9 AM. My TV guide might be off.

Is there ALSO a place to see the games 3-5 hours+/day after?
I can't record streams...
And yes ALL QBs and young guys need some added reps IMO. Of course injuries always scare everyone, including coaches

Maybe some type of new toothpaste with feces removing properties.
Lord knows he can use it.
Ha ha
He's so bad that on a Bills board we are basically stating he is a major d-bag for criticizing a Cheatriots player! That's how bad he is
Gronk is injury prone but the best tight end in the league. Or in any Top 3.
Ramsey's strategy is working though. I didn't know who he was before he mouthed off. I learned on here he might be one of the best at his position but I had no clue to who he was before.-

Sure Dak and Elliot are good, but that OL was as good as they come. I still recall watching a game where every run they pushed the pile at will, at will, chunk of 5-10 yards down the middle on almost every play, yet Dallas still threw some passes and had to punt. Badly coached. Wasn't it their star LT that got injured and suddenly Dak looked normal? With their center gone, who knows what will happen to them this year.

I think the Bills have some sorting out to do yet...the protypical approach of sitting your starters for the 4th preseason game only works if you know who your starters are.
Indeed. Still big question marks on the OL according to all the shuffling they did last game, and of course the QB position! Anyway, let's say the Bills brass have decided on who is QB #1, none of the three has enough experience to simply sit out the whole game.
Injuries are always a big concern, but all the young players will benefit from added play time.

I am a huge fan of his football skills, and love that first GIF. I still can't understand why the Bills brass asked him, of all the players, to take a paycut! He was MONEY opening holes for Shady. And I am one that thinks football gave him a purpose and a surrounding that was very beneficial to his mental health. Except of course for the head trauma, as CTE *might* be the reason or one of the reasons behind his erratic behavior. Sad to say, but he's too far gone now, and while football could be beneficial to him, too late now and he needs help for sure.

Safe to say, any sane person that is a Bills fan, Bills as in the TEAM, will agree with whatever the coaching staff decides, as there are really no clear cut decisions here. All have pros and cons whatever way they go! Impossible to predict the outcome, whoever is named the starting QB. Unless Nate/AJ is the starter and keeps on winning, we will see Allen this year if not on game 1.
-
I laughed when the Bengal player was pushed into his teammate, but I clearly saw the penalty too. I wouldn't have laughed in the regular season.
-
I get you don't pay a #3 guy 10 millions. And if a trade offer is good, take it. But you'd go with only 2 QBs with an OL that enhances the chance of them getting hurt? You need a 3rd QB for sure.
-
I know it's too late and he has gone crazy, but damn do we miss Incognito or what! To me he was THE key in opening so many critical and long plays for Shady. It's too late but why did the Bills wanted him, from all the players on the roster, to take a paycut? I still don't get it!

i think the bolded captures it perfectly. once they start allen, they completely need to commit to him. i'm not sure if the first 4-6 weeks are that time. if they decide to play him and let him learn on the fly, so be it. i just has a dangerous feel to it.
That is 100% true. So long term, think of Allen first if you feel he can be a "franchise QB". But what about winning now? What about the other players? Coaches should base their decision around that. If voted start him, but I'd fine with Nate starting, for the reasons of flexibility. And... what about AJ? Odd man out paid 5M a year?

He is clearly mentally unstable and has issues. Most likely, they were already apparent to the Bills Brass. So no saying he is immaculate and Saint Richie here! But from a business standpoint, unless he was indeed showing signs of being a nutcase, I still can't understand the logic of asking him, of all the Bills players, for a paycut! He was the tag team partner of Shady in the successful Bills run game. A Pro Bowler last year. He was money, football wise, period. Of course Incognito first accepted the deal then went into a psycho spiral that had not ended yet, but still, why the paycut?
