Omg. You’re such a soccer mom. Someone said something not amazing about my baby! Let me get the other soccer moms to yell at them! We’re 5-1. Things are good. But sorry for not throwing a party because we have pathetically low standards for good qb play. Allen “led” a comeback against the Titans and we scored 2 tds!!! He led a comeback against one of the worst teams in modern history! We came back against the 0-7 Bengals! Look, he’s improved in some things but this defense carries this team. If we had a more consistent offense, we could do some real damage in this crappy AFC. Our qb expectations are so pathetically low.

Just looked it up. Kelly had 21 4th quarter comebacks in 160 starts. (13%). Allen has 5 in 17 starts (29%). The Bills would dominate early in games in the 90s and won’t need to come back. It’s a very overrated stat. If we had more consistent offense on the first 6 games, Allen wouldn’t have so many comebacks.

You can say the same for Mayfield. Also folks were saying Jackson, a Heisman winning trophy qb, shouldn’t even play qb in the NFL. I think that qualifies as doubting him. i generally get what everyone is saying and I do think Allen is an awesome dude. But it still comes down to how they play. Losman cleaned up Buffalo. EJ was a good dude who had a sneaker scavenger hunt. Not of this really matters in the end if you aren’t good enough. There are plenty of Buffalo guys if they are good enough. Stop with the win- loss records for qbs. So completely misleading.

Jackson averages more yards passing per game and has more passing tds. And this list will probably change every game.

That’s fair. I believe Romo had 5 ints on MNG against us. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back.

Good call. Between him and Little Julian, they will definitely have some trick plays in now. Sanu probably has a stronger arm than Brady at this point.

Yeah, I can’t argue that he wasn’t anything but terrible. But good QBs have had terrible games. I think Romo threw 5 ints against us. Big Ben has some terrible games. but yeah, it was an all time bad performance. It’s crazy but he looked so good against Dallas the week before. But as I have said with Allen, the key to being a franchise qb is being consistent. Darnold seems to have some real highs and lows so far.

They won a road game in Seattle against a 5-1 team.

Sorry, I’m just nitpicking here but I think Jackson and Mayfield would have embraced Buffalo as well because they are currently playing in similar cities. and I’m kinda over the whole little old Buffalo mentality. I want us to start thinking we aren’t the underdogs anymore. Hope this makes sense.

I don’t want anymore Bills fans. It seems like there are 9 billion fans already. We are full!

Agreed. The 4th quarter stuff is great but if we didn’t have a really good defense, we might be out of the game by then. 4th quarter comebacks are becoming overrated. basically, there’s a could ways this could go. It could go the Bortles, Sanchez, Mitch T route where we ignore obvious flaws because they are “winning” and they never progress. Or it could go the Brady, Wilson, Big Ben route where they are game managers who eventually develop into franchise guys. I have my concerns about Allen but I’m interested to see how this season finishes up.

I agree with your post but I think all of these guys could have fit Buffalo. There’s some narrative that Allen is a Buffalo guy more than other QBs. Not really sure why.

Last year’s Bears was really good too especially because they have Mitchell T.

Are people going to do this every week?

Still fairly high on him but that was one of the worst qb displays I have ever seen. The sign of a franchise qb is how you bounce back next game.

I don’t know what people expected. He’s been a bottom five OC most of his career. But overall, he’s fine. Nothing special but fine. I’ll give him a C.

I mean they get the media hype because they go to the SB every year. I bet the Bills’ move weren’t as doubted as much during the SB years as they have been in the last 20 years. It is a good trade for the Falcons to get that much for him. He also seems to fit the Pats well and they have nine million 2nd round picks. Not a game changer but a solid pickup. His wrs kinda suck right now.

Yeah, that int to td stat is insane. But it’s way too early for that and their schedule gets a lot harder. But it seems like Brady is shifting more to a game manager role again.

Allen has a long way to go still. Not ready to say he’s good until he has more tds than ints. I know our expectations for qb has been driven to the ground for the last 20 years but I’m going to need more than a 75 qb rating before I say he’s good. But the potential certainly is there.

I guess there is where I point out he’s averaging more yards passing than Allen and is on pace for 4,000 yards. Not bad for a running back.

Good post and I agree. Seattle is only good now because Wilson turned out to be a top 5 qb. It could have been a Flacco situation there otherwise.

I remember hearing that story a few years ago. Crazy. Watson also seems like a great guy as well. They choke every year but I do believe that have SB talent.

I was wrong about Atlanta too. I do think injuries are a big part of it but there is zero excuse to have that bad of a season. Still a long way to go but probably predicting a team to go undefeated wasn’t the best prediction.

Of course if all of our guys turn out to blue chippers, we will have some cap issues as well.

Good way to look at it. Basically, it still really comes down to the qbs. At his best, IMO, Goff has top 10 ability. Obviously, he has some flaws. It’s still way to early to say one way or the other on Allen. I will say that as someone who has doubts about Allen, I would be absolutely thrilled beyond belief if he had Goff’s last 2 seasons. We all would.
