The DB totally baited Peterman into throwing that. Just sat back, gave a little cushion and he broke on the ball the minute it was released. Doesn't help that Nate kind of threw the ball when he was back pedaling and stopped. He never even got maximum throwing power, which for him is very necessary.

That's the thing. Either Daboll and McD have shut him down? or Allen is just not throwing the ball anymore? In the last 3 games he has 36 completions for 317 yds, 0 TDs and 3 INTs. That is awful by any standards. So either let the kid rip a few downfield or pull him out and let him watch for a few games.

So it appears the Josh Allen injury will be the perfect excuse to sit him, regardless of how serious or day-to-day the injury is. If I'm McBeane, I look at the schedule and see Indy, NE and Chicago coming up. NO way do I want Allen to play on a Monday nighter vs, NE. Even if he plays at a higher level than we've seen, there's no chance he will he lead the Bills to enough points. And if he plays like he has, it will be an embarrassment to him and the organization. The Bears and their defensive talent and schemes will destroy Allen. So what I think will happen is Derek Anderson will play vs. Indy to get his feet wet. Hopefully he gets comfortable enough that we can get some competent QB play vs. NE and Chicago. Now do we have any faith in Anderson? That's another story Looks like the guy has only thrown 150 passes over the past 8 seasons. And he was never what I would say good.

Well the D is playing light out...but the forced fumble thing will come back to earth at some point. And when it does that's when we'll see more 20+ point losses.

I’ll say this in Allen’s defense. Just before his injury it looked like the light bulb finally came on for him. He threw that nice ball to KB (which DiMarco ruined). Then the second nice ball down the middle over the DB. That was beautiful. I think those passes gave him confidence to stand in and let it rip. Then the injury. Ugh. Hopefully he will improve in his next start

Thanks OP. I wanted to start a thread comparing him to Locker about a week ago but just didn't have the energy. I hated Locker's game coming out of Washington and I hated when Tennessee took him at #8 overall. I never saw what the experts saw in Locker and I told anyone that would listen that he would be a flop in the NFL. Well, all his running around finally got himself injured...and he had to be placed on the IR. When he was replaced, he ended up retiring early.

Thats fine but I wasn’t really talking about opinions on a fan board. I was referring to the media in Buffalo,.,, radio, tv, newspaper and the national media. I did not hear leading up to the pick how the Bills were projected to pick Mahomes and how they’d be crazy not to.

I don’t recall a big groundswell of support in 2017 to take Mahomes. If some of you did, props to you. I don’t feel bad about Mahomes or Watson because there was no big push at the time for Buffalo to draft either of those guys

I’ll give you this, KC has some talented guys that want the ball. And they go after it. Buffalo has Shady. That’s it. One guy and he’s easy to stop.

What a floater! He threw to a spot and Hill circled around and got it. Amazing

This is a quality football game. With a few strange calls mixed in

That was a sweet pass by Mahomes

The Pegulas won’t like being laughingstocks, again. This Peterman stuff, the offense, no receivers, no innovation. If this season goes even more sideways, wouldn’t shock me if they fire some folks.

Maybe the first time I’ve ever seen a team actually win the spot challenge. Only Bill gets that kind of respect

Brilliant play, and throw. No doubt. I just don’t think that can be counted on for long term sustainability.

Mahomes is gimmicky.If you want long term success as a QB, stand in the pocket and deliver. Brady does it, Peyton did it, Brees does it. If you have to run around and create stuff on the fly, that will eventually get figured out. Allen needs to be much better in the pocket

Bridgewater would be like having Drew Brees on this club...as compared to the production on offense now.

Pretty sure Josh did throw that quick screen to RayRay early in the game today. He was tripped up for like a 2 yd gain.

My big issue w Peterman was his throwing while back pedaling. Between that and the play call, which is Nate’s weakness (throwing the 10 yard sideline pass), that was horrible all around. He’s ok at throwing up the middle. And his pass to Holmes was nice. Allen doesn’t seem to be able to see that play and hit it.

Osweiler 380, Rosen 240, Darnold 280...just another week in the NFL. Our guy can’t even get out of double digits. Look im giving Allen two full seasons before I make any serious judgements, it’s early. But so far I’m concerned. I don’t know how many rookies put up such paltry numbers and then come back to have a great career. I know Aikman did horrible his first year. He’s an exception. I haven’t checked but I think EJ and Geno Smith has better numbers as rookies thus far. Not good.

Well, at 4:15 I was feeling a bit nauseous. What else can you say?! Let me hold myself accountable here and see what held up. ——————- - Josh Allen's most memorable plays are with his arm, not his legs ** well his arm was the story, elbow actually. Two nice throws to KB, one called back. So that’s better than zero. - JA not hitting dudes in the ankles as he rolls out and throws ** he tried to hit Clay in the ankles on his first pass, after that mostly just inaccurate wide or high. - JA being decisive and quick with his passes, not timid ** I though he was a bit quicker today, but dude, stay in the pocket and let er rip. He bails and rolls wide too often. - JA sacked no more than twice ** only sacked twice, so that’s improvement - receivers make 2 catches on contested balls downfield, **KB made one I think downfield, then a dumb penalty called it back. Zay’s catch wasn’t really contested but nice TD! - running game goes for 120+ total yds ** Nope, rushed for only 100 yds - offense ball security, no turnovers ** Nope, thanks for nothing Peterman. And a RayRay not so special teams muff - defense holds Texans to less than 40% 3rd down conversions **Yes! Held Houston to only 3 for 13 - defense bends but doesn’t break. Allows Texans fewer than 20 pts ** Yes, they did (only 10?) Peterman gave them 7 more and I think special teams was another 3. - Bills are + in the turnover ratio ** it was a push, both teams with 3 takeaways - Bills score 20+ points ** Nope, ultimately they needed exactly 21

Keenum threw a really nice deep ball from his end zone. Then on 3rd down he takes a Josh Allen like sack.. ran backwards and belly flopped with a Rams player landing on him. Loss of 14. Ooof

Fixed. Blah, still have brain cramp from this Peterman game.

The young Kelly is a gunslinger like his uncle. He has no fear to throw the ball into tight coverage. I always liked the kid but can see why many teams passed based on his hot head attitude growing up. I think Denver made a smart move picking him late. Elways gonna look good here and get some redemption From the Lynch pick

Keenum was being evaluated for a concussion. But he’s been cleared at halftime. So Kelly is not expected to play as of this moment
