I remember ESPN talking this exact same way about Stroud & Purdy. MVP candidates who were making the team better. My comparison was that and not play styles. With any young QB, how will he do when it's the postseason and the pressure notches up? Or, what if he is down two scores in a huge game?
Bills are currently 4.5 point favorites going in to this game. That seems....kind of high.
I look at both rosters and do not see much of a difference right now.
He looks good. Will know more about him in week 15 & how he performs in the postseason.
Guys like Purdy, Stroud, Tua came on the scene and looked good. Then, they did not look good. They became average to good at best QB's.
They had coordinators that knew how to utilize players to their strengths.
But yes, the Bills need to take anybody available. It's not as if they can make the receivers worse.
The only person maybe available who can work with an elite QB and produce results is......Bill Belichick. But he would be 74 with alot of baggage. Other names: Herm Edwards, Nagy, Gruden, Tom Coughlin, Chan Gailey, Jim Caldwell, and...a college HC.
Bills will not run all over the Patriots.....because Allen will be too busy putting up 400 yards of passing, 4 TD's, no picks, and a near perfect QB rating. I feel like the Bills are going to go into that game with revenge on their minds. Taking no prisoners. Feels like Allen has rarely had any "off" games in that stadium.
Eagles are the only potential loss left on the schedule. But it's at home. And they are collapsing.
So yes....5-0 to finish. Of course, if NE only loses to Baltimore and us, they still win the division. We need them to lose to Mismi or the Jets.
But...postseason for the 7th straight year is all but in the bag.
If the Bills do not lose another game this season (SB win), that Bosa play may be what everyone looks back on as the "momentum shifter. "
As for this game, feed Cook. This needs to be run first to control the game & limit their possessions. If it turns into a shootout, The Bills could find themselves at 8-5 headed to New England.
McDermott is a good HC. He has caught some bad breaks. It is also time for the team to move forward with a different administration. Allen will be 30 and the Bills are one of the few teams that desperately MUST win a SB within the next year or so.
Both can be true. It's time
Why would players intentionally lose? It could cost them a big contract on their current/new team. Not to mention the fact that a new draft pick could take their spot.
If NE had a draft position already secured, the Bills probably start Allen.
