I re-watched the play when the Bills were 3rd & Goal at the 4, and Allen bailed out of the pocket too early. However, none of our receivers were open on that play. Zay Jones was open very late on the play and Allen threw to him but it was batted down. Had Allen thrown the ball higher, he might have had a touchdown, but that's a big maybe. Allen did not look as awful yesterday as some fans are portraying him to be. In fact he was doing good enough to win, and I believe they would have won had he not gotten hurt.

Yeah, but they've already done that this year when they went to Eugene for Oregon-Stanford.

Fair question.... One reason is because of draft status. Peterman was a 5th round pick & Allen a first round pick. Peterman was a projected back-up NFL QB, Allen a potential solid to good if not great NFL starter. Peterman has looked bad since he started playing. Granted he was dealt a bad hand and was thrust into the spotlight when he probably shouldn't have. Those interceptions has left all Bills fans with a bad taste, and they don't want to see anymore from him. It may be unfair, but that's how it goes. Many people feel that Allen can and will be the future of the Bills, myself included. He was given a bad deal and thrust into action immediately, when some of us wanted to see him holding a clipboard all year. That's not how it turned out and here we are. I personally hated the Peterman pick. Even though it was a 5th round pick. I saw nothing from him in his college career that convinced me he was going to be a starter in this league. Josh Allen was not my top QB in the draft this year, but I was fine with the Bills selecting him. He's raw, but I believe that he has good to great potential. I feel that Allen is progressing. Slowly, but progressing. I really think we would have won today, had he not gotten hurt. That pass to Benjamin was big and you could see that he was hyped and hungry and ready to go on the attack, but he had to accept that he was injured. That's the best way I can put it. Peterman got sucked into a no-win situation and now he has been stigmatized. He threw two very nice passes to Zay Jones & Andre Holmes today and then he threw two awful interceptions. The loss goes with him, that's a bad deal, but that's how it goes sometimes.

College Gameday is finally going to Pullman for Washington State Vs. Oregon!

First of all, I tend to wonder how seriously the Panthers saw Clausen as being the future of the franchise. The Bills clearly see Allen as the future and he deserves to be given as much time as he can, to be the future. Drafting another quarterback with a high pick would be a waste of time and resources.

It's probably Saviour Peterman in disguise.

I was right!

Hey, that was the Chris Hogan of Buffalo. Catching a pass on 3rd down in front of the first down marker.

So we do not need help at WR or O-Line? Neither of those positions are a priority?

We don't have that kind of luxury. If you want to sign a veteran quarterback during free agency, fine. We have our quarterback of the future, and we have to build around him. We need receivers and offensive linemen and more defensive depth.

I said the same thing. Yes, Peterman stared him down and it was an easy play for the corner. Regardless, if that play worked, then it's what? A 6-7 yard gain bringing up 3rd down?! I don't get it.

Did we?

Which is why he should get all the time to grow as our quarterback. Drafting a quarterback in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd round next year is a waste of time. We need to build our team around Allen. Unless we decide to draft someone to replace Peterman, I say forget it.

No

No thank you.

The situation will be right when they draft one in the 7th round.

I'll draft a quarterback next year to replace Peterman.

You tell 'em Tre! Love this guy! Dammit, I feel so sick for our defense! They should be getting game balls after today!

What really sucked was that he got hurt after he had thrown his best pass of the day. You could see on the very next play that he was starting to feel it, but he had to accept the reality that he was hurt.

Off to my club now.....GO BILLS!!!

They can alternate without having to make Lewis inactive.

Thanks, and I think they can keep it up. Still, I never take anything for granted. One game at a time. Michigan State was clearly overrated this season, but when these two teams meet, you never know what will happen.

Get on the phone now, Beane!

My feelings exactly.
