    So have the Bills.

    Possibly, on paper.

    No games have been played yet. 

    Judging by the games played last year and years previous, Miami has closed the gap. 

    That is really all anyone can logically go on until the games are played this year.

    His resume without Tom Brady is abysmal, which is also a fact.

    True, but the point is that he is a defensive minded coach, and they won a lot. Would the Bills be as good as they are without Allen, highly doubtful. The Bills can win with a defensive minded coach and a superstar QB the same as the Patriots once did.

  3. Not making any projections, but Buffalo had a receiver by the name of Eric Moulds who dropped a lot of passes his first few seasons. He was considered a disappointment. However, around season four, Moulds became one of the better receivers in the league. He ended up having a productive career in Buffalo. Possibly, Davis has the same upside and just needs a little more time. He has talent and has shown flashes. Maybe, year four it clicks.

    Ok I didn’t have a horse in this game but I had a few thoughts on it.

     

    1. Running Game - The Bengals had it and the Bills never even tried to establish it. Now in normal weather I can understand this but in snowy conditions like this at least try keep the D honest.

     

    2. Screen passes - like running the ball the Bills didn’t sue this till late while the Bengals did it to perfection the entire first half.

     

    3. Pass Rush - The Bills were making Burrows move in the first half but he always seemed to find an open receiver when he stepped up in the pocket. Allen was harassed all day, I say that was helped a lot by not doing any sort of run plays or screens.

     

    4. injury excuses — Yes the Bills were down 2 DL but the Bengals were down 3 Olineman. Should been advantage Bills.

     

    4. Bills looked Emotionally exhausted and just looked tired and out of steam. I say that was especially true of Allen who has to have everything be on him for the O to work with the way it’s called

     

    Lastly  Bills fans on here have lost their minds! Allen is still a top 3 QB, The Bills are still a very good team, and this year just seemed to show Allen running out of steam after getting hurt. So to quote Rogers fans here need to RELAX! You still have many more good years ahead.

     

    Very level-headed and well stated post.

    As a lifelong Bills fan, I agree with all points. Not in the burn it all down camp. It was a really bad game at a really bad time. 

    It was a real head scratcher as to why they did not run the ball. They have a talented back in Cook and Motor is a hard runner. It seems to me that it would have occurred to the OC to slow down the game a bit and run the ball. Maybe it was the O-line play being bad...who knows there was not enough run attempts to gage it.

    The Ravens used the running game the week before to keep them honest, seems the Bills would have taken notice. 

    Too much pressure on Allen. Reminds me of the Marino days with Miami.

    The pass rush was non-existent for the most part and they did indeed look to be spent from the start.

  5. There were red flags with this guy, big ego usually does not translate well for athletes. It is quite amazing that out of the 5 quarterbacks' taken in the first round, Allen, who I did not want at the time, turned out to be the winning lottery ticket. It did not take long to be on board with Allen, his attitude and work ethnic resonated with me personally. Looking at this makes one feel exceptionally lucky and grateful for the intuition of the Bills front office and coaching staff. We were waaaay overdue to get one right!

  6. Everyone is intitled to their opinion. It feels like flogging a dead horse, but those who were around for the Jauron days and some of the years surrounding those can remember what a bad roster looked like. Incompetence and disarray were commonplace. This roster and coaching staff would have been a wet dream back then. They are hurting with injuries but outside of that I cannot muster much to complain about. 

  7. The Bills are fine. They will bounce back. A few bad throws, mixed in with a lot of really good throws, are not reason to reasonably deduce there is issue of regression. ALL QB's make mistakes and bad throws from time to time. It happens. It is simply an over-emotional response to create a scenario in one's head that a few bad throws equivalates to a downward spiral or the wheels falling off. Allen has off the scale intangibles and work ethic. He will bounce back. Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. This team is always in the game and some weeks, they will lose, it is a part of the game itself. Had it not been for a holding penalty and perhaps a missed PI call they likely would have had a shot to win in the end. On to the next one. 

  8. It is shell shock from all the years of shame and embarrassment. It is the disbelief that this team is actually this good and the rug won't be pulled.

    Advice to people that hold onto this fear: enjoy the ride.

    Like all things in life, what goes up must come down and vice versa.

    This team was on a tremendous downtrend for well over a decade and it appears the uptrend is now in place.

    Enjoy it. Go Bills!
