Two things Josh should be aware of. His hard count so far has only hurt the offense Stupid linemen evidently cant remember what count they are going on. Second change up the count go on one more often that hard counting till play clock is near zero

I dont think they had any idea they would win 9 games last year That in of itself changed the dynamic of the rebuild by forcing Beane to make more moves to have the shot to draft a qb this year. I wonder what they would have done if Allen was gone? Which of the FA signings besides Star is more than a short term rental to fill the roster for 2018? Maybe the plan is to tank and they it right this year and get lucky and trade out to a qb needy team and land a bunch of help in 2019

Must have been tough for McD to make the easiest decision of his coaching career.
Anyway, I think Allen will be OK. It's simply impossible to perform worse than the backup. And that SD defense just layed down for over 400 yards passing....by Mahomes (a kid with 2 more career starts than Allen).
What really will make or break the Bills Sunday is no the O-line, it;s the Defense. They gave up 47 points on 8 scoring drives (including ones of 66, 80, 85 and 89 yds) to Joe Flacco and the Ravens.
Defense will do a lot better They had some stops early against the ravens but the offense just went three and out plus there was the stupid penalty during a punt. Then it all got out of hand

Why do I get the feeling the Bills are going to resign this guy for 6 years at 17 million a season.
He might not last out the year if he keeps dogging it. I root for him to get it together One less need if he can at least be a functional #2 WR

It’s Cam’s fault.
that just reminded me, he should be used to catching fastballs
-
He's got to get it together or he will be out of the league or playing for vet minimum. Contract year and he's dropping everything thrown at him
-
He'd have to go to a team with tremendous stability or it would become a huge circus of distractions . If he ever signs to play again I could see him in New England. Honestly that guy is so polarizing I worry some nut would shoot him. Plus did he or didn't already turn down some opportunity to return?

Timestamps matter. I said NP didn't have a good game after the game when everyone was raving about how great Allen's 60 yard, zero TD performance was against Baltimore in the 4 to quarter of a blowout. Double standards galore
PFF gave Allen a 80 rating

McD has made the right move regardless of how bad Allen plays it can’t get much worse than Peterman. If they can run a simplified offense that features 60% run to 40% pass mix this could work. Where they will fail is when the OL gets stupid penalties. It’s time to let Allen play & see where he’s at.
Well you have to help your qb which they certainly did not against Baltimore. The few decent runs McCoy had all got called back. False starts, plus the many drops. Whole offense was a hot mess. Plus the penalty on the punting unit that gave the ravens a 1st down Team cant overcome all of that right now. I think the Bills will have success running the football. That should help a ton to keep all the weight from being on Allen. Can't have 3rd and forever on each conversion. We likely lose again but should be more of a game (least one can hope)

People seem to be having issues identifying the things Allen is doing well vs. struggling with so let's try and clarify.
1. Getting through his progressions. This was a big problem in his lone preseason start, which Allen even admitted. Things are going too fast for him to keep up. It's why he held the ball too long and why he gave up so many sacks in that game. You could tell he / coaching staff had made an adjustment for second half vs. Ravens by having him use an internal clock so he'd have a better idea when it was time to throw away or scramble regardless of where he was in his progressions or even how the protection was holding up. This is a fail safe for young QBs and not ideal for a number of reasons, namely that you altogether pass on potential opportunities outside of three seconds.
2. Pocket presence. This is closely related to the first point. The problem is Allen doesn't yet have the ability to sense where the rush is coming from while still looking down field, so he's either getting sacked waiting for someone to get open, or he's not seeing guys get open because he's looking at the oncoming rush. You'll notice on several occasions he got bumped by one of our o line (who got pushed back into the pocket because they suck!) and immediately tucked the ball and scrambled. Compare this to someone like Brady or even Ryan who sense one side of the pocket is collapsing and step up or to the side before getting nudged, all while still looking down field and completing a pass.
3. Accuracy. Allen was terribly inaccurate in the preseason, routinely throwing behind, in front of, over the top of, and every which direction but at our receivers. This seemed to have improved some vs. Ravens. We can talk all we want about playing vs. second stringers who weren't playing hard given the score, but he still made some impressive throws.
4. Touch. Everyone killed Benjamin for that dropped TD but that was at least partially on Allen. He has a tendency to throw everything 100 mph, and in that instance there was no need to gas it like that. The window wasn't that tight. We've seen him do this a bunch already over the course of preseason.
5. Making pre and post snap reads. Allen is clearly struggling to diagnose where the rush is coming from (let alone the coverages) and so our o line is frequently gettng overloaded, but it was frustrating to also see that missed opportunity with Shady on the RPO at the goal line. I have no idea what Allen was seeing (other than runway for Shady to the end zone) on that keep and resulting incompletion.
My point is the kid is clearly still working on mastering basic fundamentals of playing QB. Let's all keep this in mind while he's being thrown to the wolves on Sunday.
3. I disagree For the most part he was on point even in pre season
4 . Benjamin needs to catch with his hands Yeah it was a bullet but KB tried to catch it with his gut Your a professional football player playing WR Go sit on the juggs machine, no excuses for body catching football
rest I agree with

Well if there is any hope for this team being even moderately competitive it starts Sunday. KC's defense sucks. Chargers offense might have a tougher time away against the Bills So maybe if we can keep drives going it can at least be a watchable game. Heck if we just even move the ball a little its progress, lol

Billy Joe Playbook but we have some many fine choices, lo

Anyone pick up on McD refusing to say whether he'd stick with Allen going forward? So I guess his plan is to just re-evaluate after every game and play musical chairs with his QBs? This reeks of incompetence.
Gotta keep the door open for the Peterman project. I think he's undermining Allen's development but no just saying this is our guy and lets go get it done That's just me
-
well were going to need a #2 qb beyond this season as well. Matt Moore seems a decent option. No young players, you need a guy that can prepare with minimal snaps during the week and can offer some guidance on the sideline
-
bring back the delay middle screen Gailey liked to run Allen can see over the line where they couldn't run that play with Tyrod Find creative ways to get Shady the ball in space. Take some shots downfield when given the opportunity get more out of the TE's Croom looks promising, design some plays to get him the fb More crossing routes/slants/jerk routes

Titans, Cardinals, Browns, possibly Cowboys

maybe we should forfeit weeks 2,3,4 and then start Allen. I might need a Rockford files rerun on tap if Peterman ever starts again

That throw to Anderson was almost exactly like the throw to Foster. Anderson reaches back and take the ball away.
yup safety let Anderson reach back and yank it away
Prediction: Bills will go no huddle on Sunday

More than worrying about Allen I'd go with whatever helps the O line. I think Allen if given any time will be competent if not even make some exceptional plays The line seems to either get overwhelmed physically or make costly mental errors that kills drives
