This has changed my thinking about stocking up on WRs, well, unless the QB is damaged somehow -- which Allen isn't.

rams burnt a lot of clock for a FG
I'll take that. For the rest of the game (so long as the Bills keep scoring).

I love what you wrote about Fitz, and I agree. Of all the terrible / play-not-to-lose QB play I've seen from the Bills over the past two decades, what I've seen from Allen thus far this season is that he's going to elevate this team.

It's downright hilarious, Allen has the exact same issues that people perceive Tyrod as having. The only major difference is Allen has major ball security issues.
My dad hates the NFL. The only time he'll watch it is when I'm back in WNY for a visit, and staying through Monday if it's a Sunday game.
Even my dad watched Tyrod, silently, for like 3 hours, and finally towards the end of the game against the Chiefs, he asked what was wrong with the QB.

That would be superb; nor due I live in the Superdome circa 2013. But I like your spirit!

I wouldn't say that I was overjoyed with Tyrod when he played here, but in comparison to most of the QBs who I've seen here play since 1974, or I guess more specifically since 2000, he was stable enough so that the team could acquire other pieces.
I wish the guy the best, and I think that any rational Bills' fan knew that Tyrod was just keeping the seat warm, in particular after a coaching/FO change, until a new QB was drafted.

I admit that I didn't see the whole game. I saw most of the first half, and the very end, due to an electrical issue at the house that I needed to diagnose (turns out that it was a tripped GFI ,but still... had to check everything in an old house like ours), but Allen looks really good. I'm glad that he didn't have to run and run and run, and more importantly I'm glad that he didn't cough it up.
-
I don't feel this way about the Bills this year, or really since 2017, but...
-
So this Allen guy is pretty good, I guess.

Wow I didn't know defect was a synonym for overcharge your customer.
Technically, if in incognito mode, you can read the series for free. That was my observation, at least, and not sure if this was by design or a mistake on their part.

That's actually surprising to me. TB has other weapons and he has been out of the league for over a year following a season where he looked like a shell of his former self. He should have stayed retired
I'm actually thrilled that we get to witness a replay of this cautionary tale... in real time.

It's funny because this morning I was reading some of the writeups of picks by the 'experts' on CBS and the write up they had on this game mentioned that the problem with the Colts could be Rivers trying too hard and doing too much to try and show everyone he isn't done....
Rivers will do what Rivers does: all the trash talking, "motivating" his teammates, putting on a smoke show, then losing.

I think normally, with a regular offseason and preseason they may have been better because of the time and practice they would have gotten together. It will probably take them a few games to get up to speed and I to a rhythm with all the new players. It's rare for a team to add so many new players and come right in and dominate. If they all continue playing together next year they could be really good, but this season will probably start out rough and get better as it goes on, unless their attitude has them quitting because it's tough. It's a tough division they are in, the Saints are still the favorites.
Fair enough, but Gronk for 11 yards?! That seems like it shouldn't be happening.

I enjoyed this writeup, as (almost) always. Welcome back, @Shaw66!

Giving him a little dose of the old Belichick medicine. Beautiful.
Yeah, it just has the feel of something that was doomed to failure.
Maybe they'll prove me wrong.
The whole situation in TB reminds me of the 2000 Redskins nee WFT season. Arians is a really good coach, but you can't un-spill certain situations. Given that it's Brady and Gronk, they'll win some games, but I would be shocked if TB is in it -- in late December.

Gronk: 2 catches, 11 yards.
Eric Clapton wrote a song about what's likely to become of TB this season; I'm sure of it.

What I like most is that they did what I can't remember any other team doing: drafted a high first round QB two years in a row. Almost everyone else would've said "give Rosen a full year." They saw a sunk cost when it was right in front of them, which is a surprisingly hard thing to see.
True, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Rosen came a year ahead of KK. While I think that teams like WFT and NYJ will draft QBs very frequently, KK had the say to do what he wanted, and he did (Rosen, obviously, is awful).

And right there is why "playing not to lose" is incredibly unsatisfying, but better than having Philip Rivers go out of his way to force a loss.
Yes, I agree with your take as well, and is also why I do not agree with the 300-yard benchmark that many a Bills' fan has set.
-
I liked Taylor, in particular because he stabilized the position until the Bills could draft someone else. But that 200 yards thing? Yikes.
-
I admit that, while watching Brady play his first game in TB, something made a thudding noise under my desk earlier, and it wasn't my knee.
Philip Rivers, well... I can't believe that he's back.
I find myself intrigued by the AZ/SF game, like even more than TB probably going to lose his first in TB.
-
You did well here, @Virgil!
Allen still does some things that are maddening to me, but at the end of the day? As someone who remembers watching Bills' football since 1974 (born in 1971), I've seen many, many QBs come and go. While I'm not married to a 300-yard performance as a benchmark to success, I am 100% on board that we have a hard-working QB who has skills that I haven't seen on this team for decades.

He gets an A just relax
In fairness, it's not just 80% completion, but also 400 yards. </sarcasm>

I wrote something along these lines in either the first or second half threads earlier, but my expectations for the Bills, and for the rest of the league the first 6-8 games of this season, are somewhat low. I think that given the number of should-be moribund teams this year (see also: Jets, New York), the Bills should end up in a good position for a playoff run, but it's going to take a few weeks for a lack of preseason activity for things to settle down from these unusual set of circumstances.
I liked a lot of what I saw today, so I won't rehash the positives that the vast majority of us saw.
What I didn't like, in no specific order, was:
- Allen being careless with the ball in the first half / the number of runs. I'm not an Allen hater by any stretch, but my goodness. Please stop!
- Kicking game. Yeah, I get the rookie aspect and all, but with what seems like an all-around solid team, I do not want a repeat of the Norwood years. I'm getting old fer chrissakes.
- Injury bug on D.
- Running game looked like it took time to get going. You can win with that issue against the Jets, but against the rest of the league? Not sure that it's going to fly.

And that appears to be just the tip of the iceberg with the Jets.
