Castillo, Ducasse, Dennison, Peterman start, and Tolbert. You can’t explain away these decisions.
So far McD has been ok but far from great. Good job with the secondary. Most game situation decisions have been ok.
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!

I don't agree to that...
Let's all agree to disagree
I think most of us would agree he should start preseason game #3 and play with the 1st stringers. The rest depends on a lot of things anyway. His play, Nate's play... and (hopefully not) injuries.

It's with a guy like this I wish there was more of a "hockey" mentality. It's a preseason game, pay him back!
I hate the guy 's guts for the way he ended Aaron William's career. Yeah, ended it, pretty drastic, no?
This one wasn't so bad TBH. I'd find no reason with another player. It's because it's HIM that makes it dirty. And because the TV interviewer basically complimented him on it and Landry was so gleaming with pride.
-
I think 90% of most us - make a poll maybe - would agree Allen should start preseason game #3 and play with the 1st team.
The rest can be determined later.

They should use JA to launch satellites into space.
Also. Noticed this the other night, curious if anyone felt the same. But I can’t remember the last time we went empty set on the 2-3 yard line on 3rd down. This is the difference.
NP lines up empty set and the defense is drooling. JA lines up empty set and it’s going to start making defenses feel hopeless.
Just an optimistic thought.
Also. You truely could see the Browns D totally shift after a few Allen throws. Backed up, spread out. That dimensional addition changes the offensive diversification abilities quite tremendously. Back shoulders play more. 5-7 yard outs met with less draping coverage. His presence was clearly felt.
He threw ZERO deep pass against the Browns yet his arm strength still made a difference. Impressive
First preseason we were drooling at his arm strength and mobility. Physical stuff.
This time it was his poise, side steps, audibles, hard counts, 2 minute drills, command of the huddle... who expected that from him and so early?
Again he'll have growing pains and make dumb rookie mistakes, but he is the best of the 3, well make that 2 QBs now, with the most upside. He has to start IMO. He has a lot to learn. but what quicker way than to do so on the job? He seems tough enough mentally to handle the inevitable slumps and all, and the coaches intelligent enough to mentor him mentally and not just skill wise and physically. And it's great that Nate has shown improvement that could make him a good backup.

2017 bills were not a playoff team in my opinion. Sure, by definition, semantically speaking, they played a wildcard card game but if anyone here saw a playoff calibre team in the bills last year then that only shows how long it has been since we last had one.
And other than JA showing himself to be special, a big upgrade at OC and also at backup RB I'm not sure the 2018 bills are any better than 2017. Not trying to be a downer - I'm hugely exited for a couple of years from now and also for next week's preseason game - but expecting playoffs with no oline is crazy.
I kind of agree. But seriously, the Bills have been very unlucky in that 17 drought. A lot of subpar wildcard or even division winners in those 17 years. Last year they got things going their way for once. And you know what? It could happen again this year! And the Jags game was winnable for sure. The difference between winning & losing is often very small. Why do you think the Pats cheat so much? LOL

Okay, so...
Josh Allen has played exactly three-quarters of one football game. In those three quarters, he has thrown two insane TD passes, should have two more (the bombs to Foster), has not turned the ball over, has showed the ability to throw short, medium and deep, left, right and down the middle, has an absolute cannon, has been accurate, completed passes on the run, rolling either way, and from the pocket, has had two two-minute drives and they scored ten points on them, has shown a great ability to avoid the rush, has scrambled/run the ball very well, shown terrific mobility and straight line speed, and strength, has known down and distance, has called audibles, showed great confidence and good command of the offense.
In three !@#$ing quarters!
SO LET'S SIT HIM!
Ha ha. Yeah you make a strong case. SIT HIM FOR FIVE YEARS!!!
-
Nice post Red King. As far as I'm concerned the Browns are not the Bills so while I never wish anything bad and respect 99% of the player, the team itself can go down in flames LOL
-
Baker has looked goods in the two games. I happen to watch hen he played in the 1st one too.
As for TT, I was surprised the Brown's coaching staff put so many run plays. What, they didn't want Tahrod to show some pride and upstage his old team? He did very little cause that's what the plays called for.

JA was amazingly fun to watch. Woot! But Peterman should start the reg season. Many of you do not seem to understand or remember that this is a rebuilding year. Last year should have been but everyone wanted a dumb playoff game which really screwed us in the draft and caused is to need to trade away picks we needed for an oline so as to get a QB.
We seem to have struck gold on the QB but we also know we have a horrible oline. Why gamble the rookie and maybe future franchise QB we have been waiting more than 20 years for on this season? We cannot win this season with all the holes we have. Run defense and oline being big ones it seems.
Start Peterman and spare the kid in the first few games at least. Peterman will likely have a few really bad days thus allowiing JA to get some game time; he may even get injured as AJ did what with this line. 2018 bills season is not about W-L but about the future. Losing 12 games is fine - ruining or breaking our new hope QB just to make 8 wins and not 4 is dumb.
Man, JA really looked the part; and then some. Pre season Game 3 has me more anticipated to see than just about any reg season bills game in recent memory.
I tend to agree, but then you play your best players...
IF, and it's a big IF, the Bills only win 4, well, play Allen so he learns for real, without undue pressure. And draft high!
I say that but of course the goal is to win. It's just that it seems this season is a no lose proposition if Allen plays a lot (not necessarily from week one). Either the team wins NOW which is more fun and the goal, or they draft high next year and Allen has learned a lot.
He was able to see 2 minute drill, goal line action, etc. And he handled it well. Hell the 2 minute drill - and audible and hard counts - was better than what experienced TT did in his 3 years here! So he convinced me that while he'll sure have growing pains and make dumb rookie mistakes, he's not just a big arm. He has enough wits for the position and to learn on the job!

McCarron holds on to the ball too long. Tyrod could get away with it because he was a MUCH faster runner. The Browns treated McCarron like teams would Tyrod - Make him throw the ball - sack!
Really? He often got hit right away. He didn't have time to hold the ball too long! Anyway, he's out for a while but I really hopes he comes back sonner than later. We need 3 QBs!

Like I've been saying, you got to get Bodine out of that lineup. Ducasse sucks as well. at this point I'd like to see Groy at Center and let's bring that Teller kid up to play guard.
It's what I see too, and we're far from the only ones. Yet I have to disbelieve my eyes and trust that professional coaches that are with them daily know better. But it's hard to distrust one's own eyes LOL

So which is it? The OL from Game 1 that had some schemed motion and chip blocks and kept everyone upright OR the OL from Game 2 that was vanilla and had some missed assignments?
It's true they looked good in the 1st game. They were so bad last night I forgot about it! How is that possible? Sure the opponents differ but come on.
And for the OP, the O Line is discussed in all the threads I've looked.
-
Since neither Nate nor AJ have shown to outclass Allen, why not start him? If it were still TT, sure. But IMO at least have Allen start this week 3. I would have liked too to have him groomed but he's as ready (or not) as the other two QBs which is now down to one anyway... He'll learn more by playing than watching Nate who is only a 2nd year guy with less than 2 games of NFL experience. And I like that Nate seems a quality backup as with that OLine play we might see all 3 QBs this year no matter who starts first!
-
Mayfield is more NFL ready yet will be backup.
Allen should be our starter just because he is the better QB out of the 3. Not by a lot mind you, but with the obvious upsides and "it" factor, the only reason I'd put him at #2 is that OLine will get whoever is there killed! Even Shady!
-
Both the starting OLine and DLine gave reasons for us to be scared... to say nothing of whichever QB gets the #1 spot.
The 2nd and 3rd units did well, but the 1st were pushed around bad.

That OLine was sooooo bad. Shady had no chance either. WTH. I do want Allen to start but I fear whoever has that #1 spot is getting KOed

And they (team AND TV reporter) congratulate him! Take his knee out

So he could be back by week 1? Good
It's like with Shady. Does he really need to play?
He and Kyle are consummate pros, have kept in top football shape. Let them sit till week 1

Allen just called more audibles in a quarter of football than Tyrod Taylor in three years as a Buffalo Bill. They guy seems to be in command of the offense. I'm afraid that Vlad Ducasse and weak ass Bodine will get the starter killed once the games are for real.
We see things the exact same way. If the OL doesn't step up, after AJ, whoever is the next #1 might start Sunday in an hospital bed.
I loved Allen's hard count try, his side step for the TD. Poise, basically. And I do like he got sacked hard without getting injured cause it was on him to see that free player so he will be more aware from now on.

It’s too bad but I think his performance tonight pretty much took him out of the running anyway
Really? What could he do? That OLine was crazy bad. Scary for any QB. DLine got pushed around. That's no good...
IR and he can be back by week 8-10. I can't believe people that want a 2QB team!
Allen impressed, again. Since his ceiling is high and the other don't outclass him at all, he should start. But it still sucks to lose a QB for so long

I am a "real Bills fan" and I absolutely want Allen to win, he by far has the highest ceiling of all three and it isn't even close. AJM and Peterman can never do physically want Allen can. .Does it have to be this season, no but eventually.
Pretty much this.
I really like all 3 guys, I do, and in a way it sucks it can be only one that plays. But that's football and well say AJ doesn't see the field, 5M a year doesn't hurt the rest of his life...
Unless AJ or Nate really outclass Allen, or Allen shows he's not ready,. I would have rather Josh start much sooner than later. Nothing beats real experience and he has so much potential that it's more for him to lose the spot than to win it. AJ & Nate are not established veterans either!
Yet I agree with the premise of this thread and will go along with the coaches.

I’d say definitely not hot seat. But the rest I agree with.
They havent announced a starter yet for tomorrow. and deep down I’m really hoping it’s allen for tomorrow and give him a chance to look incredible or just lose the job outright for himself for now.
I agree. Yet it would be only his second NFL appearance, and it's preseason so he won't see complex packages designed to confuse a rookie QB. And even seasoned pros have had bad games. But again I agree that for him it's a chance to rise his stock or that he could lose his spot. TBH it's the same for all three QBs. I really do think it is open competition, just like it was when TT was on the team in the beginning. It's just that with Allen his ceiling is higher but his mistakes matter more, being a complete rookie. Weird that AJ seems such a veteran, and even Nate, while both have so little real game experience!
-
I was very pessimistic. 2 gigantic unexpected holes on the O-line, QB uncertainty, the solid stars are aging. New OC, new players could mean a great upswing or steps back, we just don't know. But yeah, I don't recall a preseason game ever getting my hopes back up that fast. My reason tells me to hold on but emotionally I'm psyched. I can't wait for tomorrow's game. I don't know about you guys but I've rarely been keen on watching these preseason 3rd string players! I only watched the 3rd one typically.
Suddenly we sense some hope, that maybe we have some starts on our hands and a OC that at last has some imagination - though I did like Roman's run schemes, just wished he had some pass ones to go along with it! But it was only one preseason game... Allen might be a superstar. There's just a lot of maybes, but at least these could turn out great, not just good.

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!
