My opinion is that the "everyone eats" philosophy was born by trying to have average players pretty much everywhere. Cost effective players. I think the Bills don't like loading up on really any one area (outside of QB) and having a weak spot. Spread money around. Not too much on WR. Example, look at Bengals. No money for OL. All loot was focused on WR group. Everyone eats is just a byproduct of having overall lesser talent, but having it all over. Why have an A+ wr corp with a D- OL? Bills want B's all over the field. Its a money thing imo.

My point is that I don’t think Brady is planning a whole lot of down field passing based upon Allen’s lack of accuracy.

Yep. And it shouldn’t be a mystery why we have no down field threat really other than Davis.

Moving on from the status quo will likely only waste more of Allen’s window. a new coach will want his own staff. Who else gets fired? It will take time to adjust. New plays called and developed. New systems installed. New ideas etc. Wanting different personnel. Fingers crossed the new coach gets it all right. Clocks ticking on Allen too. All sounds good, but this doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to build. And the odds are you WONT get it right. McD and crew have us right on the brink. Outside of a sb appearance, McD has put forth a highly successful team year in year out. I’d advise staying the course. Turnover of the head coach and/or Beane will set this franchise up for huge failure and disappointment. Same could be said for sticking with the current regime, but man, we’re so close. And it’s not like some amazingly talented, experienced coach is just hanging around out there waiting on a call from the Bills. Ron Rivera anyone? Riding with McD.

I wonder if they think he's tradeable at this point?

Christ. Are you 8? Can anyone relatively mature give any updates to why Samuel was a healthy scratch?

I haven't had time to dissect this thread, but is there any word on Curtis Samuel and/or why he wasn't used?

Cmon man. The coach? Who do you think kept their heads in the game? Who was calling the correct "go for 2" calls? Who was aggressive??? You do understand THAT team (the Ravens), is a horrible match up for ANY nfl team, right? You do know there IS accountability with your personnel too, correct? SO tired of these McDermott crap threads.

My perspective is don't do anything yet. First game of the season. Things will be messy. AND, it's against a tough rival. I'd wait a few more weeks before deciding anything. This game isn't a good indicator of anything right now.

Reality is this: 1. Fan is wrong. Banned for life. 2. Jackson is wrong. You are a PROFESSIONAL and need to know better regardless of a dumb fan. It’s understandable why it happened, but Jackson needs to do better. But it wasn’t egregious.

Allen is the best qb playing football. That should not be questioned. That is fact. It isn’t Jackson. Not Mahomes (haha). Allen is King. He needs multiple rings.

UNBELIEVABLE WIN!!!!!

This team has serious work to do on both sides. yikes. BIG yikes.

Gonna be a bad night.

This is reallllllly bad. Astonishingly bad defense.

Should’ve gone for it

Wow. fantastic start. “Allen’s, like angry out there!!” —Collingsworth.

Most teams, including the Bills, will need to reassess personnel after a few games in. Freeing up cap allows for the last minute signings, ala Amari Cooper, etc.

Sloppy week one game. Neither team flows very well yet. Our D line will be the story of this game, as Jackson tries to exploit our secondary but doesn’t have the time. Milano balls out against Henry, who looks noticeably slower. Power still there. Just slower. On offense, Cook will be the story. Bills 27 ravens 24

Gabe has shown to be clutch in huge games. He's hopefully serviceable once healed. Could do a LOT worse than Gabe Davis imo.

Cook and Ray Baby gonna EAT!!

Best of luck to Denver with that. My thought would be a shorter passing game (keeping Surtain out) and relying on your TEs and RBs catching.

Anything short of Lombardi will have the McD haters out in full force. Even though it was a mini rebuild, if you will. He's a fantastic coach imo.

100% this. And he's on our side guys. Let's support our players instead of speculating and bashing, etc.

Broncos will have no answers for Allen & crew, even with their defense. Bills 31 Ponies 16
