The guy was undrafted before he was arrested. How many undrafted rookies make the team let alone ones that were arrested and suspended before finishing training camp. Best case for this guy is practice squad.

STOP with the Pats have not beaten anyone either talk. They are beating teams by 30 that we are barely getting by. Comparing one game to another may not mean much when it comes to comparing win margin etc. But when you look at 6 or 7 games and see a pattern it is fair to say the team destroying people vs the one eaking wins is probably better.

Not that simple. Unless they already know they plan to dump more players and not sign any free agents in the offseason.

To add - it is basic math. If a QB is limited you can shrink the field and this greatly impacts the offense. Any OC is looking to create space, that is essentially what play design is.

Have not seen any serious sources sating Evans or Allen are legitimate options at this point. If we got Evans we would have had 3 or the top 5 WR's taken in 2014...and 1 of the 2nd rounders.

Of names being mentioned around the league: AJ Green DeVante Parker Melvin Gordon OJ Howard Shaq Barrett

Better at some things. Still struggling with others. We should not confuse team success with player success. This defense is what has led to the 5-1 record more than the QB play. If the D played the way it started last year and Allen played how he has we are not 5-1 and probably a 1-2 win team.

Average NFL QB's have to hit wide open WR's. The great ones can even place the ball in there when a guy is covered. But when you have a few yards of separation you have to make that pass.

Agreed on the play design. I hate plays that our designed to be one read. You watch this develop and its either McK or throw the ball away. Your other guys are just clearing out space. Allen takes too much time to throw so the coverage has time to get over to cover McK. Rather than have your WR on the left side run the slant, if he runs a shallow drag route you may now give Allen a secondary option.

Yes and crazy to be complaining about a Bills team not running enough. There needs to be a balance and feel for the game. Way too often Gore has an 8 yard run and then is not running again for 7 plays. Mix it up a little. Take the pressure off your young QB. Give him some easier throws to hit. Mix in the more complicated stuff.

That play is not the best example. Watch it on the all 22 and you see that Allen is both late throwing the ball and has awful footwork. He has gotten into a really bad habit this year not setting to make his throws. Its the danger of having a strong arm, always think you can just sling it. I do agree another playmaker on offense would make a big impact. I think a playmaker WR or possibly better a RB that is a threat out of the backfield. We have seen Yeldon catch some passes, imagine if that was legit RB back there doing that.

If they have been all game one might think it will be similar right? Its like he is thinking if I run a pass now they will be caught off guard. Oh shucks they weren't. Maybe if do it again they will. No dice. Maybe one more try. Oh crap, next time I am just going to run it.

Regardless of how they have won. Before the season started what record did we expect at this point? Most would have said 5-1 or 4-2 at worst.

Yes and no. That Dallas team that was putting up huge points in most games and won 9 games by double digits. And four by more than 20 pints. Not us yet. And even so, that team went on to lose its first playoff game. Those NE teams were similar. Yes some close games but also some blowouts. This Bills team has not proven it can blow anyone out yet. We all want to see the Bills play a game like we saw NE play last night. We are closer to losing to a bad team right now than we are to blowing them out.

But he traded a 3rd for KB...

Its in NE is probably the main reason he is saying that. Why should the Bills have won? It was a battle of defenses and NE did what it needed to do. What is more likely - Brady plays better or Allen plays better next time?

Did you watch that game? Yes it was acceptable given the circumstances.

Bit of a stretch. They had a good drive to start the half. Next drive was 3 and out. After that was an Allen Int. Next drive he got hurt and it was going to be another 3 and out potentially.

Bills would be 5-1 with Darnold as QB. Lets stop with using the Bills record vs Jets record as the measuring stick.

If there is an NFL draft and these are the 5 QB available where does Allen get picked? I say he goes 3rd behind Mayfield and Jackson.

If's are what we are seeing of of yet. His play still has much room for improvement. Other Qb's have lost jobs with his level of play. Do you feel the current version we are seeing of Josh Allen is good enough to be the teams QB for the next 10 years?

I have been round for it all as well. Which is why I am critical of things. Yes Allen is progressing and yes he needs time, But I dont need the smoke blown up my you know what about how I am blind and he is really playing great. We are 5-1 so who cares or whatever else. We could be 5-1 or 6-0 with a ton of QB's with how this defense has played. Barring an incredible meltdown JA is here for this year and next at least. If next year he is still playing this way there will be questions about his ceiling.

Allen over 200yds in all but 6 of 17 games. That is around 65% of the time over 200yds. Allen over 250yds only 2 times in 17 games. Would not call that 250yds minimum. Allen overall averaging under 200yds in his 17 games Tyrod was at 200yds 55% of the time. Tyrod was over 250yds 25% of the time. Tyrod through less picks in in nearly triple the number of games. So far we are getting less of the Allen upside compared to the dont turn the ball over Tyrod.

No he was not. There was a ton of talk about this around draft time. NFL passer rating on deep passes in 2017:Human Howitzer All-World Arm Josh Allen: 84.6 (31.0% complete), 37th in the draft class@bakermayfield : 134.8 (56.7% complete), 13 TDs, 1 INT, led the draft class.Oh, Mayfield had more passes dropped too. #ArmTalent. What good is a rocket launcher arm if you don't know how to use it?Josh Allen completed just one pass of 40+ yards in 2017. Each of the other QBs in this class completed at least 3 such passes. Among the top #NFLDraft QB prospects, @Lj_era8 was the most aggressive on 3rd down, throwing 71.1% of his attempts past the sticks

I get it. But many guys can do it occasionally. The reality is thus far in his career he has issues the majority of the time. This year and last year. In college he was not great at deep balls. We seem to confuse his ability to throw far and hard with the ability to connect with receivers on those balls. He has the potential to be good at based on his arm strength just not skilled at it as of now.
