This is a good video. I thought this was Allens worst game.
Lets not forget the Titans are a very well run defense.
Im not hitting the panic button. I think the second half of the season will say more about Allen and his ability to get acclimated with the position.
Allens worst game? He made 2 critical passes on a game winning drive. The short dump offs that he's always been inaccurate with. The running game was working so Allen didn't have to put the last drive on his shoulders, but whos to say he wouldn't of made a long pass and got them into field goal range? It wasn't his best game, but most certaintly wasn't his worst. Come on, man.

He managed the game well and won. Stats aren't everything.

yeah but come on. We broke the drought. Super Bowl is all I care about now. That's not happening. The pick(s) we could get could be on a future super bowl contending online or WR corps. McCoy will be retired.
How about a winning culture? Perennial playoff teams can attract free agents and at cheaper prices too

And all our games have been against teams coming off a winning record last year, three were on the road, and the two wins were against 2017-18 playoff teams.
Exactly. People want to be pessimists, but why not be optimistic? We are coming off a playoff season with an upgraded defense and slightly downgraded offense, but with an improving talented QB. The whole AFC is tight right now and it's still early into the season. As I remember we got blown out a couple times last year too. Why can't I be excited? Why does it HAVE to be a rebuild?

competitive for what?
We're 2-3 and only 1 game away from the top of the AFC East. Technically speaking.
Edit: Sorry 2 games I guesss, but we've yet to play any division rivals. My point is we are competing.

The Eagles are not trading anybody that is on par with McCoy. If the rumor is true I still wish Beane had waited to open with a bid to see if a sub-package could have been done with perhaps one of our defensive depth guys for WR Matthews.
I have no idea what the Eagles could offer because I don't have the knowledge of them like I do with the Bills. Maybe someone not on par with McCoy talent wise, but maybe someone younger and above average?

Moulds might be in the HOF if he'd have had stability at the QB position.
Terrell Owens build, hands of glue, could run the full route tree.
We gave him Flutie, Holcomb, Jp Losman & company. What a waste.

I see you have me confused with your kids .....MCD caused the limited talent by shipping the playmakers out and their inability to judge talent ( Tolbert, KB, Ducasse, ZAY, and his love for washed up Carolina players. Just because you like to keep your head in the sand that's up to you
Dude, McDermott got the Bills into the playoffs. What more do you want from him? And he did it with Tyrod Taylor as a QB. He could very well do it this year again if teams keep beating each other up. The defense is looking ferocious and that's the unit he decided to focus on first, he's a defensive minded coach. Give him a draft or 2, okay? Sheesh. Everyone keeps hating on a guy that broke an 18 year curse. I can't stand people like you.

Other than Andre Reed...
In all honesty I think Moulds was the most talented of all, but that's a whole different topic and I don't want to derail this thread. FYI, I was being sarcastic about Josh Reed. He made some nice 3rd down catches in his day, but he's no where near the greatest nor the worst.
As far as McCoy goes...If I was the Bills I would only do a player for player exchange unless they can somehow net a 2nd round pick (which they won't get for a 30 yr old RB unless they're truly that desperate) As many others have stated McCoy and Allen have a good relationship and you're taking away one of his few offensive threats and safety valves.

Who is Josh Reed? Philly's Dunkirk Don?
Only the greatest Wide Receiver to ever suit up in a Buffalo Bills uniform.

It's Tuesday. Did they sign him?

Per Ian Rappaport. Could Shady end up back in Philly?
I would do it for an offensive lineman, but nothing more. Not even a Wide Receiver. Trading Shady would be a tremendous blow to this team leadership wise.

I think Mark Davis just made the best relocation move in the history of the league.
The Las Vegas location is a gigantic opportunity for corporate sponsorship. Every hotel has to have a suite and every hotel's suite will have to be better than the other ones.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. He will make a vast fortune from that new stadium and he got Vegas to pretty much pay him to do it.
That haircut is camouflage. Mark Davis is smart. You heard it here first!
Thank God the Pegulas didn't sell out to Vegas.

Nah, he was the one, Jabari Greer was the two and the Bills had to make a decision and chose to re-sign McGee.
I'm pretty sure that's why they let Clements go to the 49ers was because they had McGee.

“Outstanding”
The Bills were outstanding Sunday afternoon, beating the Tennessee Titans 13-12 on Stephen Hauschka’s 46-yard field goal on the last play of the game.
“Outstanding?” Yes, outstanding. There is a lot to talk about in the NFL, but there is only one measure of success, and that’s winning. When you make the plays to win, you’re outstanding.
“Really, outstanding?” Yes. When you put together a fourth-quarter drive to win the game, you’re outstanding.
“But it was only the Titans.” Yes, the Titans were 3-1 but had played like they were 1-3. Statistically, they were indistinguishable from the Bills. Doesn’t matter. It’s the NFL, and nobody gives you anything in the NFL. You have to earn it against your opponent, whoever the opponent is. There were plenty of ways to lose to the Titans, and plenty of Bills teams over the past 15 years would have found them. Not this Bills team, not this Sunday.
“But Josh Allen, the Bills’ ‘star’ rookie quarterback, was 10-19 for less than 100 yards and an interception.” Perfect, actually. What more could you ask than to give your rookie more game experience without asking him to win the game? Allen had an excellent game. He made a couple of bad throws (one too low to Benjamin that Kelvin should have gone down for and might have caught, a couple of others not as accurate as you’d like, and one perhaps a split second too early to Holmes that resulted in the interception), but in general Allen’s throws were on target and out of harm’s way. The flea flicker was probably a throwaway.
Most importantly, Allen was in control on the winning drive. No panic, no mistakes. He needed to make only two routine throws to win the game, and he made them, on target so that McCoy and McCloud could make the critical runs after the catches.
Allen didn’t take sacks, he didn’t turn it over and he had another highlight-reel touchdown run.
Allen’s a keeper.
“But the Bills passing game is so horrible that they had to play one-dimensional running football.” Actually, there were signs of life in the Bills’ passing game. Zay Jones looked like a quality receiver; running crisp routes and catching the ball. McCloud contributed.
And the Bills did some of the overdue innovation their passing game needed. They actually ran a couple quick crossing routes that almost guarantee a receiver will be open for gains worth taking. They ran a couple of rub routes, and Allen had a nice completion to Clay over the middle that should be there all day. The Bills also had Allen on the move more, giving him time to look downfield instead of scrambling to avoid the pass rush. Roll-outs do have the disadvantage of shrinking the available passing lanes, but Allen’s running threat tends to neutralize that problem by opening holes as the defenders cheat toward the line of scrimmage. Look for more roll-outs next week, as Allen tries to outrun Watt and Clowney.
A lot of fans complained when the Bills signed Chris Ivory as LeSean McCoy’s backup. They aren’t complaining today. On Sunday, Ivory was the guy who bedeviled the Bills for years with the Jets. He’s one tough dude. And Shady was Shady, almost good enough to carry the team completely on his own. The defense must key on him every down he’s on the field, and when he’s out, Ivory is pounding away.
The Bills defense put in another excellent day of work. Hyde’s absence didn’t hurt them, Milano stood out, again, with visible plays all over the field, and the pass rush hurried Mariota, even if the Bills couldn’t catch him.
It’s time to get used to it – the Bills play bend-don’t-break defense. More or less every team can move the ball against the Bills between the 20s, because they will give up the short stuff in order to stop anything deep. It was no surprise that the Titans kicked four field goals; the Bills’ TD defense has been stingy for the past three weeks.
The Taron Johnson INT was sweet. Perfect position and a great break on the ball to make the play. Preparation plus talent equals success.
“But outstanding, really?” Yes, outstanding, because with the game on the line the Bills’ coaches asked the players to execute the plan the coaches had installed during the week – pound the ball, get first downs, run the clock – and the players executed, perfectly. It was McDermott’s process on display. Prepare, practice, execute. Prepare, practice, execute. The process produces wins.
We’re all so conditioned to the pass-happy NFL that with four minutes left, Bills fans everywhere were wondering how this rookie QB and those receivers were going to make the plays the Bills needed to win the game. The answer was the Bills didn’t need them. The Bills engineered a masterful four-and-a-half-minute, 11-play drive to win the game. It was more or less perfect – no penalties, no plays for negative yards, no incompletions, one third down conversion, excellent clock management, routine execution on the field goal.
In the NFL, the name of the game is winning. In the first six weeks of the season, the name of the game is winning with a team that isn’t yet fully formed, against teams that you don’t know a lot about. With a rookie quarterback, the name of the game is winning while your kid is trying to figure out how to win.
Winning with a rookie QB in the first six weeks of the NFL season is OUTSTANDING.
On to Houston!
GO BILLS!!!
The Rockpile Review is written to share the passion we have for the Buffalo Bills. That passion was born in the Rockpile; its parents were everyday people of western New York who translated their dedication to a full day’s hard work and simple pleasures into love for a pro football team.
Seems like I've been reading the Rockpile Review for almost a decade. It's a tradition after every Bills game. Thank you

He's played 17 games. Not worth a megadeal in the beginning of season 2.
Look at Gilmore. He was called "elite" here (or maybe he called himself that), but no one now would say he was worth a "megadeal". He was easily replaced by a cheap rookie. That's how it's done.
True, but if he keep playing at this rate then it would be wise to lock him up at least by his 3rd year. CB's that do it all don't come around every year and are not easily replaced. He reminds me a lot of Antoine Winfield.

They are congealing into a unit that can keep the team in games on a weekly basis. It's nice to see after the slow start to begin the season.
All the hate put on Star and Trent Murphy. All those people should eat crow. This defense is slowly becoming elite.

WINNING gives Allen confidence and that's what a young QB needs. He needs to believe in himself so he can take that next step not to mention everything is not about Allen, we have 52 other players on this team. People may not realize it, but we are slowly building an elite defense. The Titans were no pushover at 3-1. I'm not talking playoffs just yet, but if this running game holds up and the defense keeps playing at the level they are generating turnovers (which was no fluke last year) then maybe it's a possibility.

You realized our qb passed for 80 yard in a W? He “led” a comeback where his coach won’t let him throw the ball past the line of scrimmage?
He didn't need to pass for more yards because the running game was working so well. Why is this generation so obsessed with stats? Stats don't tell all. Allen also only had 19 attempts and a few crucial drops by the receivers. These aren't excuses, just facts.
FYI Marcus Mariota only passed for 129 yards + turned the ball over like 3 times and he's a player that's been in the league since 2014 so what's his excuse?

Like I said before, give Allen Watkins, Woods, Goodwin and Hogan and then we can compare the two. Oh yeah, and 5 more years in the league.

Terrence McGee on line one for you...
McGee was the #2 at the time to Clements I believe?
13 hours ago, Mr. WEO said:True, but the other tow i listed proved to not worth what they were asking.
If White falls off then next 2 years, they may to keep him. Why would they? The NFL has proven that overpaying for FA CBs is a costly and avoidable error.
Tre White seems like a cornerstone player to me and is worth resigning to a mega deal. Based on those Bills Embedded clips I really like his personality. He doesn't seem to take himself super seriously. I do agree with what you're saying though. I believe Tre can be an exception.

Teams don't resign guys who don't bring the value for the price they demand. It's not just the Bills. It's how the NFL works.
Winfield played 8 seasons for minnesota and was a pro bowler for them 3 times.

I'm just saying historically Buffalo doesn't resign their number one CB's after their rookie deals.

He didn't have a bad game "for a rookie." He gained valuable experience and made some crucial throws. I just think you are being tough on him.
Did he or did he not get the win? Is it or is it not his 4th game starting? What other QBs are you talking about? Fitzpatrick who's been in the league for 20 years?
I don't care about stats, I care about wins. That's the bottom line.
