Speaking of which did Washington get picked up by anyone?

Peterman played well in the pre-season too. While you may think he should be given a change the coaches who actually see him play apparently don't see it the same way as you do. And they actually are seeing him every day too, amazing that they don't see it the same way as someone who doesn't ever see him practice.

No we cut Jack Nickelson's grandson.

Will agree there, that is a problem!

Just hope defenses start figuring this out and double and triple teaming Ridley! Says a guy who has Julio on his fantasy team.

Well I didn't literally mean 20 pounds but you got the idea! No but convert 20 pounds of weight/fat into 20 pounds of muscle. Basically an off-season year of conditioning and year of gaining strength.

I also think an off season of adding about 20 pounds of muscle will make a huge difference too. You hear that all the time about rookies, they come in their first season too weak. It's even more compounded here as he's only 20 years old.

Completely agree with this. His problem was he loved every player way too much and would pay them whatever they wanted. In fairness the cap was still a fairly new thing, but he didn't handle it well at all.

You are completely correct, this is 100% on Beane. I don't care if he was still working for the Panthers, this is all his fault!!

T white, is a 1st round rookie contract, but think he's still exceeding IMO

Well he did start in Rochester, and do recall people saying he'd be on ESPN soon which never happened. Did he choose to stay because he never got a good offer. I haven't listened to him in probably 15 years as not on any local radio for me, but he seemed to be arrogant with all callers unless they 100% agreed with him.

I can recall back in the early 90's when he first arrived on WHAM in Rochester, people were predicting big things for him, ESPN, etc. which never happened. So now he's just mad at the word and he blames all the callers for his failure to advance.

I don't care how good or bad Allen turns out to be, baring the unlikely you're going to give the 7th overall pick two plus full seasons. Maybe by Nov 2020 if there's no improvement in his play, you'd bench him and consider moving on, though in most cases you change OC's first as the thinking is typically that was the problem. So how much do you think this a rookie will learn sitting on the bench for two seasons potentially learning from a person who turns out to be no good. I think they will bring in a vet backup for next season. Drafting a rookie in the 2nd or 3rd round, plus Allen, and a vet, you're now forced to take up 3 roster spots on a position that may only see the starter ever play all season. So to sum it up terrible idea!

You could make that statement about the starting QB for every team in the league and you'd be right more than you'd be wrong. You may be right about Allen, the odds are in your favor, but the one thing I do know for certain is you have absolutely no idea yourself whether he will work out to be great or not, but you think you know more than people who do this for a living and the odds are in your favor of being correct.

Put a better more consistent pass rush in front of them and don't think it's a stretch to be considered one of the best. The Bill's VB's are also very young, could see more improvement there.

I'd be really shocked to hear that was the case, however I think these days with all the computer analysis and other data available today, it's much easier to separate a players success out from a teams success. Back then it was more blurry so they got sucked into thinking the player had more to do with it than he really did. Kelly was in the USFL for was it 2 or 3 seasons, and Marino didn't start the first few games so trying to make anykind of meaningful argument after 3 weeks is a complete waste of time.

For everyone who's constantly ripping the Bills for the weak set of WR we have, look at Tenn. Other than Corey Davis, haven't even heard of any of them. And I'm sure if Tenn is this bad, there probably are other teams in a similar state too. So welcome to todays NFL! The Titans are left with five wide receivers on the roster – Corey Davis, Tajae Sharpe, Taywan Taylor, Darius Jennings, and Nick Williams.

Calling him a stud I'd think would be the other say around?? Maybe Mike's been hanging around the shower room too long??

Probably should. It's like you can put on a spy on Rodgers, but he can make you pay for it with his arm and having decent WR. In the Bills case, I'd throw the spy in there until Allan and the WR can show they can make plays!

Was that the time he was arguing that it was better to lose an NFC GAME? No Sorry not him.

I'll say one thing about the next four games, with already having two losses to AFC teams, need to get some wins against the 3 upcoming AFC teams if the team even were to have any chance of staying in contention. If they are going to lose any, let it be this week. Without wins in these games, they'd have a hard time winning wild card tie breakers.

While all that's true, Allen also will learn more too. I think what you say is true when you have a QB with limited skills, i.e. Fitz, but someone with the physical skills like Allen learning what he does doesn't help as much.

The thing too is ESPN/NFL Network, etc all show the TT highlights and you say how can the Bills get rid of him, a playoff QB even. But they don't show the highlights of his was it around 100 yard performance against the Panthers, Saints and Jet's last year?

All you need is one good one to create a trade market in fact if only one likely could get even more in return. Likely last year took less to move up as teams didn't really need to get to #1 to still potentially get a good QB. Not enough practice time into todays NFL for that to happen and actually have a good answer. If Allen does flame as you suggest then the Bills would likely be drafting near the top in 2020 too, then draft another QB. The likelihood of someone being a franchise QB in 2020 is the same as 2019, who knows

Unless by the end of year 1 you have doubts about Allen, I agree, trade down. The problem in todays NFL with drafting another QB is you'll then have two QB that you'll not have a good idea about whether they're really good or not. There's just not enough practice time available to evaluate a 2nd guy too. Based on prior trades for the top one or two picks, I think it would be very hard for any team to trade up that far and not be In the top 10. The only way is if there's really not anyone who stands out, then the buyers market dwindles. But even then a top ten picking team may still offer the Bills the most to move up, just not as much as typical in prior years. If that happens, then the best option may be to draft Bosa or someone else at #1
