And how many times have we seen back-up QB's come in and tear it up for a game or two then suck. A bunch of Bills QB's over the years come to mind and a guy named Mike White for the Jets is the most recent example. I do think that signing Allen was a no brainer but signing Jackson to a contract equal to or larger is not such an easy call. That's why Bean is to be commended for getting the Allen deal done. In a couple of years it will look like a bargain.

Remind me of the sack Allen took today with the Bills in or close to scoring range?

And don't forget that first TD throw to Davis. Only a couple of other QB's in the league could make that throw.

There's a difference between saying Allen wasn't at his best, which he wasn't, and saying he had a poor game. Under the circumstances he was solid today. * With that O-line EVERY pass play was an adventure from the get go. * Allen had a bad INT. He then led the Bills on a great 2nd quarter ending drive that resulted in a FG restoring both the Bill's momentum and two score lead. * Allen's first TD pass to Davis was spectacular. From Allen setting up the play by adjusting his WR's, to his freezing the safety in place with his eyes to delivering a strike only a few other QB's in the NFL could make. And all on 3rd and long.

How can you cite those cretins on the Fox studio show to prove your point? That was a classless hatchet job by the Fox clowns. They showed three clips - Allen's first 2 passes of the game that were poorly thrown and the INT. Are you kidding me? This is proof positive that the Fox studies hosts have an ax to grind with Allen. The Bills were leading 17 - 8 and they show Allen's FIRST TWO PASSES OF THE GAME? It's like they're trying desperately to prove the Allen is inaccurate narrative. Have you ever seen a halftime show focus in on the first two passes of a QB as a measure of how he did in the first half? It was bizarre and your citing this as proof of Allen's mediocre play tells me you also have an ax to grind with Allen.

Hey, give the guy a break, someone left a door open and it's howling down on the field. Hey, give the guy a break, someone left a door open and it's howling down on the field.

What the hell is Frank Reich doing? How can he put the game in the hands of Wentz? That throw was into triple coverage on FIRST FREAKING DOWN. Bad INT at this point in the game.

Wentz is playing terrible. With average QBing this game would be over. Play action should be lethal for the colts.

NFL officials suck.

Actually that's the 2nd pass Mac threw on that drive that was interception worthy. He should have been picked on the longer pass over the middle a couple of plays earlier.

YAC-ITY YAC!

They would benefit by an infusion of size and speed. Diggs is elite and Beasley is a crafty slot receiver but you can see that in some ways our WR group is almost one dimensional.

Watching the pass protection being given to both QB's makes me jealous as hell. Throw in an excellent running attack by LA and you can see why the Bills come up short in their games. In fact I would say that Allen's performances are even more impressive in light of the offensive deficiency's he's dealing with.

I have never seen a game like this. How many times have these teams had first & goal and not scored any points.

In that situation I would kick but it was a close call. Even though it meant OT on the road and against Brady I just thought we had all the momentum and that would carry over. In TN it was the opposite IMO.

Well the Chargers coach is showing that he has the courage of his convictions.

I made the mistake of leaving my sound on and heard the Fox halftime show and their menagerie of dimwits. I have one question - in what alternate universe is the Giants versus the Cowboys a good game?

But weren't we behind at the time? I have no problem taking FG's when the score is close or you're ahead.

I agree. It's one thing if it was 4th and goal from inside the one or it was 4th and inches from the 5. But for sure at the end of the half after Mahomes gift wraps a fumble take the damn points. Because we like to complain!

Herbert is lucky that wasn't a pick six. IMO they can take their analytics and shove it into the back end of a computer.

I agree and I think Herbert is fantastic. Allen though is still improving. His path to the NFL was completely different then his peers. He didn't have the reps and high level, big program experience that guys like Herbert had.

I think this is good insight. The more traditionalist announcers, particularly former QB's, really like Herbert. I remember Aikman commenting on how inaccurate Allen was and that he didn't see him ever fixing that problem. Ditto for Bradshaw. Then you got the maverick types like Romo who really like Allen.

Yea the whole drive Buck & Aikman are just gushing all over Herbert and the Chargers are RUNNING the ball down the Chiefs throat. It's like in the pre-game production meetings they decide on an agenda and they don't deviate from it no matter what's happening on the field. It's just lazy IMO.

Good thing he isn't a Bill or there would be a 10 page thread on 2BD on how he missed a wide open WR for an easy TD!
