Coach Tuesday

At some point you need to stop looking for the elusive, objective “it” factor and just decide that your QB has enough tools to build around and win games with. That’s really it.

Yes. One of my best buddies is a Lions fan, we’ve been watching games together for years. They are the same franchise. The “highlight” was the Joey Harrington/Rob Johnson Era.

Kind of like you and Tyrod?

Holding the ball long is not necessarily a bad thing - he's not taking a record number of sacks, and he's letting the downfield routes materialize - we just have to see what happens when defenses start taking away his comfort zones. The Patriots game will be a good window.

I don't see how either of you could be "right" at this point - it's just too early to tell, you really can't evaluate most rookie QBs until defenses start making adjustments against them and until they've had a full NFL offseason - yesterday the Jets took away the play action and the result was a mixed bag, not great but not nearly as bad as it could've been. I loved Allen's short game yesterday, he's hitting the 12 yard curls with precision and there was a sprint out pass they called, where he ran to his left and fired a bullet at the sticks, that blew me away. He is still adding elements to his game. But we just don't yet know what we have, and we really won't have a good sense of it until October of 2019.

That's how I see it - Teller needs an offseason in the weight room working on his lower body and he still needs to refine his technique as well - that play is mostly well-blocked but Teller starts pinwheeling around instead of driving his man back and Murphy runs right instead of left...

He was really bad today. Robbie Anderson ate him alive.

Other than the coaching, my biggest concern today was how poorly the young “core” played. Zay, Dawkins and Tre - last year’s draft class - each had really bad games today. If those guys can’t develop it will really set this team back.

The coaching is highly concerning - I don’t understand how anyone could see that differently.

No seriously McDermott is a moron

Some serious scrub coaches on the Bills’ sidelines.

Lawson is having his best game as a Bill.

Lee is soft but fast - they will miss him in their coverages and will be more susceptible to play action. Would love to see Josh hit on some big plays.

It would be like the last time an inept organization hired away our coordinator (Pettine).

Describe said "street thugs"

I am pretty sure I didn't predict that the Bills would go 2-14 as a result of cutting Jonathan Williams. I drink sometimes, so maybe you can show it to me. And at least we finally approached a semi-football take out of you after what, 10 years here? As for the OP, it's far too early to predict something like that. But this is America, where certain people need a very specific type of lie told to them daily in order to survive.

And my "Zay take" was that he was the worst starter in the NFL - which, at the time, he objectively was.

Is it? Did I do that? Do you understand how apostrophes work? But did I do that? Do you have evidence of said "friend"? I don't even understand what you mean, honestly. But if you're saying that I predicted that the unnecessary dismantling of the Bills' WR group and offense generally would lead to a poor record, well, let's hope the OP is as prescient as I was.

Outrageous. Just as bad as a "Josh Allen is a Bust" thread. And folks with these kinds of takes never come back to defend them, ever. They just crawl back into the same butt crevice of the internet from whence they came, and disappear. EDIT: is it too early to start comparing him to Christ?

You could tell he wasn’t right - he was tackling without his arms for the past month - probably should’ve shut him down earlier.

Not at all, actually.

The Rams tried "aggressively" to re-sign him dude.

He’s playing very well and he’d instantly be the best receiver on the Bills and his skill set is perfect for Josh Allen. Jason Peters, Sammy Watkins - Bills fans never tire of misevaluating players who ask to be paid.

It's not a great look for Beane but it had to be done. He's now traded picks and paid $$ to two former first-round receivers who have contributed nothing (Benjamin and Coleman), and traded away a first-round receiver who continues to perform at a high level. No, we do not need to re-hash that here. But Beane is up against it now to prove he can evaluate talent on offense. Can't keep swinging and missing. Wrt "why now," I don't think it's just that they're out of the playoffs. I think it's also about leadership and team chemistry. Allen is making progress as a player and a leader and this move, in part, removes obstacles to his continued ascension as a leader. It also sends a message that they're not tolerating that kind of attitude any longer (and as bad as it was all season, it was noticeably worse on Sunday - on Zay Jones' second TD, Benjamin is literally jogging a clear-out route ahead of Jones - never seen that before and I am not convinced it was the proper route). Finally, gotta hand it to Benjamin - one of the worst contract year performances I've ever witnessed. Can't really say it's about $$ for him because he cost himself millions this season. He clearly doesn't love the game.

No.
