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.

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.

Is there also a place to see the game hours later or the next day?

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!

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?

Defense was vanilla, but in the offense, I sure hope they are intelligent enough to add more sweeps, reverses, (we saw one of each with Allen), rolling out the pocket if Allen is the QB as he is mobile, really short passes like Daboll did with the Cheatriots, in other words, anything to slow the pass rush and help that struggling OL. And what we didn't see, a few max protection plays with Benjamin and Coleman running deep to make use of Allen's cannon arm. Shady will add a boost but Murphy and Ivory were good enough that the run was there just enough to slow the pass rushers.... to no avail. But of course McCoy will add quite a dimension to the offense. On defense White was a step behind way too often. Edwards was much better though. Yes it is vanilla, but you expect the DL with the super high paid Star to do much better...

White had very bad game today. Hopefully it was a glitch and not a sign of things to come

Don't forget the Bills play the Dolphins twice a year so we can expect 2 great games out of him...

Run defense has looked weak. Both lines - OL & DL - have. I almost had forgotten about that magical signing. With the amount of money he got it'd better show come game #1. He better take on as many blockers as he takes space on the salary cap.

My take too. I still hope he's the starter but that game gave McD the munition to say otherwise to his players if that's his plan, which we just don't know. I just don't see how can AJ outbid Peterman since Nate supposedly outperformed him all camp long. Ha ha. Spot on as well

Yep. I try not to be too hyped up, certainly don't want to put too much pressure on Allen or play down the other QBs, but I don't recall being that excited for a player since they signed Chris Spielman! As Josh is drafted and a QB, of course it's bigger, parts of me dreams of a "franchise" dominant QB for years to come! For this season I was pessimistic for the offense because of the OL and WRs. Now I'm not. That's what a great QB brings. Not saying he is or is yet, but that's what - and I'm sure the players too - feel.

Well injuries are a factor. I sure hope nothing happens to any of our QBs or players. Allen would have to suck really bad in his reads, not using the right plays, show bad judgment or... a lot of the so called awful accuracy that naysayers like to make up. Otherwise, he has some leeway as far as one or two turnovers, depending on what happens, and one or two rookie mistake. A bit overreaching to expect perfection out of him in his 3rd time on the field in preseason! He has shown so much already that to lose his spot he has to play quite bad and Nate quite great.

Seems like it to me

So many scary stories like yours. I'm no anti-vaxer since I got one willingly, Twinrix, for Hepatitis A. I got so damn tired for 10 days in a row. Then after a week of relapse another 2 full weeks. Written like that it doesn't sound so bad but while it was happening you have no way to know how long it will last - and I was 100% healthy before! One cold in 4 years. I read on forums of tons of people getting sick (as in sick AND tired) from it. I was supposed to get 3 shots, HELL NO. And I read about a lawsuit against them for that. And at the same time, my kids' school sent a flyer about kids getting Twinrix... mentioning in one seemingly unrelated paragraph that there is no proven link between Twinrix and chronic fatigue syndrome! WTH I lost all my trust in the system that was fairly low already. Nobody listens, it's all "coincidences". A doctor did call me, but then I realized it would all go in a private file! No stats, no public data, nothing. All under the rug. Crazy. How you base your recommendations on data if the data is false?

I like to watch with many people, or with my sons, but now that my ex broke the family it's mostly by myself, no Bills Backers around where I live now Just like you I'll let pass some time, typically 40-60 minutes, and even so, I'm usually back on live viewing for the start or middle of the 4th quarter! So much ads in a game

Sitting can make sense when you sense he's not fully ready but learning in the film room and practices, when there is one or two vets with him with at least one teaching him the ropes and the like. So far Allen has shown that while he'll make rookie mistakes and have some growing pains, he is almost as ready if not as ready as the others, has more upsides, and Nate has just a few quarters of NFL experience. Anyway, this coming preseason game will likely help clarify this. Trust the process guys LOL

Times were so different. Imagine, in some of the old Tour de France water used to be like 2 bottles per race. Now it's all about performance while back in the day it was all about attrition and showing you're tough. Even past warriors had brutal rituals. I prefer how we do it today TBH!

Not many things you can do to help a guy with mental issues that won't seek help or refuse it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that wanted him back this year and even more so after that last 1st string OL performance!

Wow. Awesome! Really is. That he starts game 1 or not, that kid has got us excited! And the way the team reacts when he's on the field, he commands respect already. THAT is winning the preseason LOL He got us excited. Game 1 with his physical skills. Game 2 with his command of the huddle, audibles, hard counts, decisions. Good stuff! Edit: I sure hope he has a great game with the 1st coming up!

You make some good points here. I disagree on the Peterman start though. It ended up quite badly but I agreed with it then. And he has made some game situation blunders... like he hasn't got a PROCESS for those. Weird. And even if they won the snow game, that punt with few minutes left in OT when a tie eliminated the Bills, I still can't grasp that one! The players saved the season that day IMO. Yet for all that I really think he's been a good coach and can be for a long time!
