Would be a certain irony if the last game determines Miami's chance for the playoffs. Last season the Bills last game was in Miami which they won to make the playoffs, this could be pay back one way or the other. But overall wouldn't be unhappy with 3 losses. The Detroit game may be the most winnable of the three.

I don't think he'll develop into a #1 receiver, but there's a place for him on the roster do to his speed and he actually can seem to catch the ball (as opposed to Goodwin who also had speed, but dropped about 50%) His hands are also good enough that he can run different routes, not just "go deep"

I thought he got too over confident from his last two games as was too reckless with the ball today. That's something he can easily learn from.

I miss the Saturday afternoon games that used to scheduled after the college season ended, just like Sunday a 1:00 and a 4:00. I'd rather see that than Thursday night.

Also think early in the season, the O-line was much weaker. The team did alot of experimenting in training camp and pre-season with lineups. The down side of that is little time to build and continuity which probably of all the position groups in football, the O-line is the most important. Think QB play also suffered there for the same reason, but not many other options there. Hopefully they siign a couple strong FA for the line so the lineup is set in training camp

If I'm a person potentially getting my first HC gig, the last person I want to be tied to is Chris Polian. A HC typically succeeds or fails based on the talent he has and I wouldn't trust Chris to give you any help there.

So far Darnold hasn't done anything to stand out. Allen's arm strength and running ability give him a big edge. Those are likely two areas Darnold will never catch him on. Certainly throwing more completions/TD's could swing that the other way in the future, but for now all Allen.

I don't know, Cleveland could/should be predicted as a playoff contender next season. Depending how Allen plays the next 4 games and off-season moves the Bills make (big Fa signings are completed prior to schedule being released) could see a Monday night. Last year they put the Jet's on the 1st Monday of the season. Granted Buffalo and Cleveland are not large TV draws.

this is what I'm afraid of!

Should I play the Bills or Vikes defense on Sunday?? Bills getting more points, but..... makes me nervous to go with them.

I'll make this prediction, next season the Bills play the Browns. I'll predict it will be either a Monday or Thursday night game, to showcase Allen vs Mayfield, likely early part of the season to increase odds both are still playing, ie. not out for injury and also early incase one of them ends up a 2nd year slump, early on may not know yet so better ratings.

As was pointed out, quite often only two LB's on the field. Makes little sense to pay big bucks, or give up draft picks or other resources for someone who's not on the field all the time. You don't need three top level LB's, infact when using three, having two on the field that are very good will make the third one look much better on his own.

Think they need to do something different on kickoffs, to still give teams a shot at recovering an on-sides kick. Not that the odds were ever very good, but became terrible.

Also much stronger, so if you get one hand on him, he's not as likely to go down as TT was. Once he starts running have to worry more about Allen still throwing as he can still make a strong throw even across his body.

He's my keeper on my fantasy team and HAS shown many signs of slowing down. But think that's more to do with Ryan having many other options besides Julio. Believe he has 2 years left on contract. I wouldn't give up a 1st though, if Atlanta is ready to move on likely he'd be available for much less, maybe a 3rd or 2nd a most. Teams know you don't give up 1st rounders for a 30 yo think Atlanta realizes that too.

Probably because during practice the punter is the one other guy besides the kicker and the long snapper with nothing else to do, so have him hold. Agreed using backup QB would give more options but for the couple times a year in may come into play, probably teams don't feel it's worth it. For years wasn't Frank Reich the holder?

Don't understand what he said that's so bad, he stated could fill the holes on the O side via FA. Unless it's with 35 yo's that's not so bad particularly on the line as takes some time to learn particularly if a rookie is also next to you on the line. For the draft BPA is important but also for early round picks, having what I call a "landing spot" is just as important. In other words a place for the player to play. You don't want to use another 1st rounder on a QB only to have him sit on the bench or draft 2 tackles in the 1st two rounds when you already have one starter there.

Sorry but I'd trade Allen for Tannehill straight up if his wife stays with me on road trips!

Players keep getting bigger and faster. I think part of the problem is they need better views of what's going on, and maybe more officials. I'd like to see two umpires, each about 5 yards offset from the center of the field. They have those lifts that drive up and down the field behind each teams bench with a camera. I'd put an official up there about 20 feet in the air on each side along the line of scrimmage.

Sound like anyone we know around here??

Now it's up to 3!

Actually listening is OK, just don't tell anyone or post about it. Schopp supposedly belongs to Menza, you can tell why, he is a genius, for like 20 years people keep posting how bad he is, giving him all the free press, and the show rolls on. He must be laughing every day at what idiots Bills fans are.

From what was written prior to the draft and in camp and pre-season Allan was much more accurate. So if yo'u're going to argue that you can't teach accuracy, how was he more accurate in the offseason? Then the regular season starts and less accurate. What happened, likely panic tended to set in and he forgot everything he worked on off-season. As he plays and practices more as they say, "The game will slow down for him", at that point when he has time to think whats going on back there, maybe what he worked on off-season will also come back to him. He may not become Drew Brees type accurate, but with all his other talents, more than capably QB.

There was article a couple months back written by someone who kind of supported this concept. The questions is is Allen worth $200 mil or whatever the going rate at that time is. Or is really a mid tier kind of guy who wants to be paid top $$ That's what this article kind of was about, unless the guy really is top level you're better off moving on, the alternative is too much $$ allotted to QB that's not justified. But this would be a very nice problem to have!

Offensive lineman take some time to develop, putting three rookies out there with a 2nd and 3rd year guys doesn't sound the best. . I'd rather see them sign one or two high level FA lineman, then use a 2nd on a lineman, but use the 1st rounder on WR
