If the Bills second half defense show up week in week out than Allen has a chance to win some games Run Chris Ivory more

agreed, never understood the love affair with Wood

He used to get pushed around a lot as well Every time we played the Bengals Geno Atkins would throw him around a few times Not a Wood fan but he's probably better than what we got going now

He might no trust Murphy's receiving skills He had a drop or two during the game Don't know how he catches in practice I would think a young qb might have a tendency to baby passes to guys once they drop a few

I took a peek at free agents for 2019 and its not awfully exciting Maybe Geno Atkins

You have 10 draft picks and lots of cap space What should be fixed first to have long term success?

think the wrs lack the explosion to get open I too would like to see mindless rhythm throw to get him comfortable Quick outs/slants jerk route from rbs Seems they need longer developing patterns to create any room

playing with house money

To be fair you have a rookie qb playing a much better team. He's being asked to move the team pretty much on his own Running game is non existent Easy chunk plays nowhere to be found He missed some throws forced some balls leading to two preventable picks and a sack or two was probably on him for holding onto the ball. On the plus side he looked calm and composed in the pocket. He didnt check one read and immediately check down regardless of down and distance. He fit or tried to fit some balls into tight window. He also broke away from sure sacks for just about any qb on several plays. The two really bad throws to me we both rolling out One to DiMarco that he makes a great effort to haul in and the one rolling to his left to Peters. Lets take a deep breath and watch and see I'm sure were going to see some bumps and knocks. People have been calling for a round 1 qb for the Bills for over a decade Give it a chance

Eli pick or fumble coming up

think you have to watch tape to see his impact if any DT playing as a space eater typically dont register a ton of tackles. Pretty sure 40-50 a season is good at his spot Still 0 after two games isnt encouraging

hard to watch Eli. I figure Barkley will break one of the next 20 checkdowns into a big play

Certainly more hopeful after watching half #2. Defense woke up, KB even caught some passes including a td. Excited to see the progress Josh makes. Almost wish the Bills would just go hire a good retired qb just to sit with him during the games and show him stuff, Does Peyton want to b a q whisperer?

I'm excited to see him progress and grow over the course of the year. Saw more good then bad. I'm very hopeful we finally might have the long term qb

Lets just say they trade for him and give up 4th or 5th rounder. He comes in stays out of trouble and plays well. Then what? Who is going to ink that guy to any long term contract with guaranteed money. How are you going to trust he can stay out of trouble? I love the talent but what kind of contract do you draw up to protect yourself?

could happen if both sides get desperate enough Just a 1 year deal. It might make the games more watchable Today's Dez is maybe 60% of the guy he was in that three year peak period Never a great route runner but a physical 50/50 ball guy (though that was supposed to be Benjamin)

Debatable, lot of the stuff they run now you could not do then because of all the contact with receivers All that quick timing short stuff would have been very tough to consistently do back then

the Browns Julio Jones deal looks even worse in hindsight Point is passing on a elite prospect that has a much higher % of hitting is easier than throwing darts at board

Need some top QB's to emerge for 2019 if they want to trade down and do a better job with the haul than the Browns This is what the browns ended up with in the Wentz deal Ugghh is there even two decent starters in that list? Corey Coleman Shon Coleman Cody Kessler (Since traded for a late round pick) Derrick Kindred Spencer Drango Ricardo Louis Jordan Payton (Since released) Jabrill Peppers Deshone Kizer (Since traded, along with picks, for Damarious Randall and picks) Denzel Ward Chad Thomas

Rules were not there to protect the qb Its easier now Brady doesn't have to worry about Dick Night Train lane trying to cripple him on every down Also WR get free run of the field Back then you could shove the wr around all over the field and then Ronnie Lott could come over and decapitate the receiver. Marino's 48 tds in 84' is ridiculous when you compare the eras

There are some good young trench players in FA They have money to make a few long term FA investments and dont have to do it all in the draft Just make sure they continue to add several quality grade starters each draft. Its well worth a top 5 pick to get a elite LT/pass rusher/shut down corner

prediction we sign Devin Funchess in FA Cant have too many panthers

That's a good point and the qbs you mentioned (Dak, RG III, Vince Young) all had great play action from a strong running game plus RPO Each struggled once having to read coverage and make plays from the pocket was asked of them. They looked better early on because the line play was good, they were all athletic and able to make plays out of the pocket. If a qb can make plays from the pocket under duress early on I think bodes well. Especially if he has to make throws into tight windows and from we saw that is going to be the case till they get better play makes and the line improves.

Ravens fans are probably calling for Lamar Jackson I expected a 17-13 type slugfest This is crazy

Were talking about this after he's played less than two quarters of regular season fb. Wow just wow
