I really think he would benefit from one more year at OSU. With Lawrence out of the way Fields would be the presumptive #1 pick. He doesn't want to go down the path of Haskins or Turbisky if he can avoid it.

Trevor is a great PROSPECT but the operative word here is prospect. He is no where near a sure thing and I was reacting to the insane list that had him the 2nd best recent NFL QB taken in the draft before he threw a single NFL pass. To tank to draft Lawrence would be crazy IMO. I would also have some concerns about Justin Fields. As an Ohio State fan he reminds me of an athletic Haskins. That is when he has all day to throw and is playing against B1G secondary's he can destroy them throwing to a posse of future NFL WR's. But put pressure on him as IU just did and his accuracy and judgement suffer.

There have been 3 pass interference calls on the Rams and only the middle one was legit. How the hell does Brady get these calls all the time? Come on NFL fix your officiating problem.

As a college football fanatic I would also point out that Lawrence doesn't exactly play against a lot of elite teams. In last years Championship game he looked pretty ordinary going up against those future NFL players on LSU's defense.

The bad weather helped NE because their passing attack is poor and definitely inferior to the Bills. That day the weather was an equalizer. Against the Chargers poor weather helps us as the Bolts O is much better then NE at throwing the football. They depend on a vertical passing game to move the ball. I also think that playing & practicing in the wet/wind will allow the Bills to be more effective then LA at throwing the ball. Bottom line is that weather plus the Bills solid pass defense, which looks to be healthy, is favorable for Buffalo. Against NE it was our weak run defense against NE's rushing game which was their offensive strength. I see this as Bills 31 LA 21.

He has 6 games to shut us up. Finally start to produce and all will be forgotten & forgiven.

Green is not close to being the Green of a few years ago. Franky he's a liability. He has dropped multiple passes some of them potentially huge gainers. Reminds me of the guy we got from the Panthers to help Allen in his rookie year. Boyd & Higgins are solid but the Bengals have worse TE's then the Bills and that O line is really bad.

Not really. Mixon has been out the last few games (and today). Higgons & Boyd are solid. The best Bengal's TE was hurt early in the season and Green is way past his use by date. I'll admit the skill position players are better then the O-line but that's not saying much.

I hear you guys about Burrow but if you saw the amount of Bengals games I see you would fully appreciate how bad this team is. Marno had a better offense around him at Miami then Burrow has today in Cincy. Herbert is good but LA has a lot more talent around him then Cincinnati has around Burrow. Spain is starting today for the Bengals and he's a huge upgrade. The beating Burrow takes every week is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Joe Burrow is the best rookie QB I've ever seen and that includes Marino. When you consider what he has to work with his productivity is simply astonishing.

Aikman & Buck spewing words is like an overflowing septic tank. Worst pair of announcers in the NFL.

If the Bills go back to sucking I'm done with the NFL. The officiating is awful and inconsistent. That holding call was ticky tack and not throwing the flag on the interference was suspect to. And while I'm on a rant, Aikman makes me want to barf. What a bad commentator.

My TV is struggling to accommodate the color scheme on the field. Ugly is an apt description.

A great example of his down & distance awareness is that once he takes off running it matters what down it is whether he slides or tries to run through tacklers. On 1st or 2nd down Allen has gotten pretty good at sliding or running out of bounds short of the sticks. On 3rd down he almost always tries to get past the sticks when he takes off running.

Dear God NOT the "Bills traded Mahomes pick" reason to crap on Allen. I thought we were way past that point. Why be so limiting. I could come up with a dozen NFL players who if they were on the Bills would make them a better team.

Allen did his part and more. QB's will throw INT's and it sure sucked that a couple of his biggest passes got called back on bad penalties. But with the game on the line Allen drove the Bills 78 yards for what should have been the game winning TD. This is what makes a great QB and we have a great QB.

Knox is close to losing me. He had a huge momentum turning penalty late in the 3rd quarter today. After Arizona had cut the Bills lead to 23 -19 we had a nice drive going. On 2nd & 10 from midfield the Cards were off sides and Allen makes a great throw out to Singleterry on the free play. Motor takes it 20 yards to the 30 but at the very end Knox holds negating the big play and the offside. On the next play Allen throws the INT. There was no reason for Knox to grab anyone at that point. The play was over. Another bad penalty was the holding when Allen converted the 3rd & 23 with a 24 yard strike to Brown. To lose that conversion because of a lazy hold by a guard was disgusting. Now the Bills have to get healthy over the break. To win the division they need to beat both the Dolphins & Patriots and then win 2 of the 3 games against SF, Denver & LA. They finish 11 - 5 and are AFC East champs.

Connecting this thread to the upcoming Cardinals game any love for Leonard Smith? Good old #46 was a stone cold killer back in the days before targeting existed. This guy brought an attitude to the Bills D and had a real knack for the ball. We became a physical defense the moment he was back there head hunting.

Done - again. This is so cool and donating to a Children's Hospital - any Children's Hospital - is the right thing to do.

Done.

Not sure (shoulder again) but I heard Flaco was starting. But if Darnold shows up then Chandler is way premature about handing Allen the AFC offensive player of the week award!

Way to soon to predict this. After all Flaco & Newton are on tap tonight!

A great win for the Bills. A few things to ponder: * The last time the Bills started 7 -2 was in 1993. * Four of the Bills seven wins have come against teams with a winning record. * If Allen's left shoulder is heeled watch out NFL. * Listening to some of the tools on TV trying to downgrade the Bills win is disgusting. Hey guys did you see how KC dominated the Panthers today? No, neither did I. Or how abut Pittsburgh's big win over Dallas? A lot of style points there to. * Was it me or did the Fox clowns back in the studio look pretty damn depressed that the Bills kicked the crap out of the Seahawks? * Remember when folks cried that Allen didn't have any 300 yard games? He now has TWO 400 yard games this season and another THREE 300 yard games. * The Bills D was fantastic today. And maybe we've all been to harsh on Edmunds. As his shoulder heals his play is improving fast.

Aikman is such a phony baloney. If Allen missed that throw to a wide open receiver we would have heard an Aikman tirade about accuracy and how it can't be learned.

The reason this is great news and important to the Bills future: * Despite the drops, on paper Knox remains the most dangerous receiving TE on the Bills. His speed & athleticism force D coordinators to account for him in ways they don't need to for Smith & Kroft. Knox has the potential to have a big pass catching day against the Seahawks. * The Bills need to know if Knox is a star at TE. They can't find this out if he doesn't play. If Knox doesn't pan out the Bills will have to address the TE position in free agency. If he does pan out they can use the TE free agency spot to fix some glaring needs on defense.
