yes and josh was crying and asking for his blankie
i guess i would hope our QB can handle being yelled at by a fat bald guy

Beane can absolutely get Hopkins he just has to set trades to easy in his Madden video game.

They will probably win one of those games (Cowboys, Ravens, Pats) but they will probably also lose at least one of the "easy" games to the Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Redskins etc. Welcome to the NFL people it changes from week to week depending on match ups, turnovers,coaching and especially officiating. And made even more unpredictable with a young QB.

So how about after a few good Gore runs he stays in the game and if we wanna pass we use play action please. seems like he always comes out we go shotgun and spread the field. Im seeing alot of obvious tendencies with this offense lately. please no more designed QB sweeps and teams have caught on to the jet sweep drop pass play. And we may wanna work on our screen game a bit. If im noticing these tendencies surely pro defensive coordinators are.

i feel like every time the Bills run game gets a little momentum and the O line gets a few good run plays going, Daboll overthinks it, takes Gore out and goes spread formation

Terrific article on HT work on deciding how much autonomy to give a young QB.
Full title: Ruining Quarterbacks 2.0: Zheng He, Admiral James Stavridis and the Precarious Handling of Young Quarterbacks
Two short excerpts from a fairly long and thoughtful article:
First:
"Those of us who cover the game, particularly from an evaluation standpoint, have devoted hours and hours to the concept of developing quarterbacks. Given the importance of the position, the hours spent studying the position, and the various ways teams have approached the development question, it is stunning that in the year 2019 we still do not have a firm grasp of the right approach to take when turning a young draft prospect into an upper-level quarterback talent.
"With the depth of human knowledge at our disposal, we still cannot crack this code. While we can put men and women into space, prepare for a voyage to Mars, travel around the globe in hours and not years, and unlock the vast wealth of human knowledge by simply unlocking our phones, we cannot find and develop 32 people to play a single position in just one of humanity’s sports. It is almost unfathomable.
"Now, in the past few years, this question seemed to lose its importance. Perhaps Sean McVay had cracked the code in a way that few could see coming.
"Instead of developing the quarterback the old-fashioned way, by having him sit and learn and then start to learn by doing, and seeing if the QB can “sink or swim,” play him right away and hold his hand the entire way, McVay used the helmet radio rules in his favor, getting Jared Goff to the line of scrimmage early in the play clock so he can continue to relay information to his young passer. The technological version of a college quarterback peering at the sidelines to read big poster boards with funny pictures on them. McVay did not rely on his quarterback to make audibles and changes at the line of scrimmage, he would make them for him.
"For a while, it worked. So much so that teams began to copy the approach. If you so much as waited in line for coffee with McVay you were linked to a head coaching job. Every owner of a team with a young quarterback wanted to find their McVay. People like Matt Nagy, Zac Taylor, and Matt LaFleur were given head coaching jobs.
"This all seemed to make sense, and the economics of the day backed up this approach. In a piece I wrote for last year’s Pro Football Weekly draft preview I examined how teams were starting to handle their young passers. This is how Dan Hatman, a former NFL scout and the current Director of the Scouting Academy, crystalized the new world for me: 'We don’t have three years to develop QBs anymore. We want them to perform at a high level on their rookie contracts.'
"So that means doing what you can to make them perform during that rookie window. If it means simplifying the offense and holding their hand every step of the way, that is what you do."
and second ...
"Last season the Los Angeles Rams seemed to be the offense and approach everyone wanted to emulate. But in a late-season game against the Detroit Lions—one that the Rams would win—Matt Patricia took the approach that McVay’s jet motion was eye candy. A distraction to draw the defense away from the true intent of the play.
"So they ignored it.
"That would be a model for teams who faced the Rams later that season, such as the Chicago Bears, the Philadelphia Eagles and of course the New England Patriots to follow.
"Of course, Bill Belichick took things a step further. Since McVay insisted on feeding his quarterback information at the line of scrimmage, creating a situation where Goff had come to 'over-rely on constant and near-instant access to a higher authority,' Belichick severed the connection.
"How? By calling two defensive looks in the huddle. One to show during the early part of the play clock, when McVay could still communicate with his quarterback, and the second to shift into after the rules mandate that the headset radio is turned off.
"Forcing Goff to operate autonomously.
"The Rams scored three points in that game.
"Now this season the Rams and their offense continue to struggle. Other elements that teams saw the Patriots implement in Super Bowl 53 are being used against them now, from 6-1 fronts to late shifts to Cover 4 looks in the secondary.
"Although there are more problems beyond the quarterback position, there is still a question as to whether Goff can be counted upon to function outside of what his coach puts in front of him. A similar situation is playing out in Chicago, where Nagy and his young quarterback Mitchell Trubisky are facing an offense at a crossroads. While the offense of a season ago worked well enough to make the team competitive, there are strong signs that when forced to work autonomously and outside simplified designs that defenses know to key on, Trubisky is going to struggle."
This article was right in my wheelhouse. Hope you enjoy it as well.
This is exactly how i feel you gotta let the kid play and learn. Coach him up during the week but on Sunday the QB should be in control of the offense not a guy on the sideline. Let him fail at times in order to learn and come back more prepared and dont take away his natural ability and stifle his creativity. But coaches are on such a short leash and quickly on the hot seat and fans have zero patience to let a guy take his lumps everything is now now now in our society its just the way it is. I actually think the Bills are doing a pretty good job walking this fine line with Allen. Not over coaching just trying to refine whats already there and give him freedom to audible and make him read defenses, dont be so afraid to fail that you play scared with zero aggression, we have all seen this approach way to many times since Kelly.

you people gotta give Darnold a break. it is a well known fact in the medical field that mono gives you a swollen spleen and one of the side effects of that is hallucinations i.e. seeing ghosts. he was throwing alot of those passes to the ghosts of Wesley Welker and Don Maynard. They were wide open but the ball went right through their hands for some reason.

Doesn’t matter how many points the Patsies have, they never stop trying to score. That’s a mindset I’d like our HC to adopt.
it would be epic if Brady got hurt while they trying to run it up. i be surprised if he comes back in

i often google NFL news and when i did it a few minutes ago an article came up from 538 talking about which of the top teams are for real. sorry i dont know how to post a link but when they got to the Bills this was said
sara.ziegler: Back to teams that are not awful, the other five-win team in the AFC is Buffalo. What do you make of the Bills?
joshua.hermsmeyer: A fermenting dumpster waiting for a match. Of the teams with five wins, they’re the only one with negative offensive EPA per play. I’m absolutely convinced their success is a mirage
a fermenting dumpster waiting for a match lol seems a bit harsh to me
-
I predict the Bills will neither win nor lose this Sunday

also in Joe B's All-22 Billybob 71 received an A+ and earned the title of top Bills fan for the week
