What really irritates me is that when he on the sidelines, no one is there to talk to him and mentor him. Daboll is up top, the QB coach just sits there, and Peterman is nowhere to be found. Kid is literally there by himself, which makes you have to wonder the quality of coaching he is getting both during the game and at practice. Talk about being set up to fail.
Allen had a bad game, no doubt. But this was a total offensive meltdown starting with the coaching and gameplan. Daboll needs to change is playcalling to fit the talent on the offense.
Daboll's playcalling is ridiculous. He's killing this offense more than anyone in my opinion. Keeps trying to play the long game, not working against the defense.
I don't understand the offensive play calling. Appears all the routes are long developing, and with a weak O-line and WRs who struggle to get off the line, this is a recipe for failure.
Allen is playing okay, but is missing a lot of opportunities as well. That is to be expected. Progress will be measured by how well over the season he sees the field faster and understands where his hot reads are and begins to hit the receivers the announcers are illustrating. Game experience is key.
This type of thinking is why the Bills continue to struggle. Build a foundation around your QB...primarily a great O-line first, a good RB, and stud TE and a true #1 WR.
The Bills have a lot more problems than QB (Peterman or Allen). The O-Line is atrocious and can't max protect against a four man front, which allows the defense to maximize pass defense. The WRs are not good route runners and have stone hands. The pass-rush was suspect and the Ravens essentially moved the ball at will. This is primarily a coaching and GM failure with the lack of talent. The O-coordinator didn't adjust and make things easier. Just my opinion.
Did anyone notice on the bullet overthrow on the left sideline, that if the first receiver didn't hit the ball with his hand, the ball might have been a perfect strike to Benjamin? I wonder if that was his intended target? Maybe someone will have a clip of that throw? Just an observation.
He stated he is "perfectly happy, no matter how poorly he plays." If you want to believe poor play is an approach to achieve the best results... well, like I said, to each their own!
Pretty much, but I have followed the Bills since I was a kid. Andre Tippett was one of my favorite players growing up, and I was a fan of Joe Ferguson. I had a poster growing up with all the great 70s QBs like Joe, Fouts, Jaworski, and Bartkowski.
Is this the nonsense you post to get to 14,000 posts? Do you even understand how the Practice Squad works? If you want to red shirt him, you don't expose him to the practice squad to get poached by another team. You simply don't activate him on game day.
