I don’t completely disagree, but what if he gets hurt? Completely unravels? Needs to take a seat for the sake of not completely ruining his development?
Peterman is no longer a real option so are we all really comfortable with Derek Anderson? If the defense keeps playing like this we simply can’t accept 85 yards passing. Allen is the future (hopefully) but you can’t dismiss everybody else and their efforts if he continues to struggle like he is.
There is zero evidence to support the notion that playing a quarterback early ruins their development. You let him struggle. You let him play. If he doesn't turn the corner at some point during the season, you draft another quarterback next year. So many people want to make this more complicated than it needs to be.

So the difference between the Bills and the Patriots is just about WR's. That's good to know. I guess having a HOF quarterback that can make chumps look like champs really doesn't make any difference at all. Just asinine.

That is fantastic.

He said this after Peterman responded to the media that all of the quarterbacks were working together to get better and not against each other. He, quite frankly, said what he should have said. I'm glad he was the #1 QB on the Bills board for the draft. I'll be the other clowns egos get in the way of their success in lieu of actually helping them.

We had the 31st ranked passing attack. I highly doubt we're going to "regress" at that position.
They might not regress as far as passing production is concerned, but clearly have the potential to regress from the perspective of offensive turnovers. The Bills were 4th in the NFL in turnovers with only 16. I'm 100% with you that they're not going to be even more anemic moving the ball downfield. I'm glad that Captain Checkdown is wearing orange this season.

I was at that Sunday night Raider game with my dad (who is from Oakland). That was the game where Nate Odomes mugged Willie Gault on the sideline and raced in for 40+ yards. Everyone thought Gault had a huge play and first down on a drive to tie the game late. We were all confused to see Odomes running to the endzone by himself, and the fandemonium in the stands after the ref signaled TD was incredible, like 70,000 plus exhaling at the same time. It's one play i saw live that will always stick with me.
That was one of Nate's greatest plays as a Bill. In lieu of making the tackle, he just took the ball away like a parent taking a toy from a child.

Peterman: "None of those 5 were really my fault"
McCarron/Allen thought bubbles: "WTF is he smoking"? -
Backup for Lotulelei. That's it.

The defense can only be very good if the offense improves dramatically from where they were last year. There were a lot of games last year where we watched the defense simply wear down as the game progressed, as we watched the offense go three and out multiple times in a row. I would be really interested in the statistics that show the historical relationship between the best defense and the offense on that same team. I haven't done it, but would surmise that we won't see "dominant" defenses with offenses that are near last in the NFL in performance.

According to many fools, he should have been wearing an honorary stripes uniform or perhaps something in orange.

I don't think Julio has any leverage really. Is he going to forfeit $10.5m in salary when he has 3 years left on his current deal? I doubt it. Showing up to camp really isn't that big of a deal for all pro's. The Falcons biggest problem is that they're already bumping up against the cap. They only have about $5m in available cap space. Reworking his deal next year makes a lot more sense. Trading him certainly does not.

Of course there is evidence of a crime. The woman’s face is pretty convincing evidence that some sort of assault happened.
And how do you know that police aren’t “building” evidence? Just because they didn’t update you? Counselor please.
Hey Einstein. Evidence against McCoy. There is nothing. His attorney has said there's nothing. McCoy has said there's nothing. You fabricating stuff doesn't create facts or evidence. Try reading a newspaper (electronic or otherwise) .

Standard fare. The crime has already been committed and reported.
Committed and reported with no evidence. There's nothing to pursue legally without a minimum of some facts. Money changing hands, etc. To get a conviction, police would need to catch the guy that did it and have a direct connection to McCoy. At this point, that seems highly unlikely. If evidence were actually building, my opinion could be different.

It means he won't just suspend people for no good reason, and even when he does suspend people, he has to admit he erred. If he were judge, jury, and executioner, his suspensions would stand.
And not sure what you're saying, but Cordon believing Shady was involved is absolutely no grounds for a suspension.
I keep coming back to the same question. What exactly is the conduct that he would be suspended for? What evidence has been produced supporting the conduct that gets him suspended. After all, this is the NFL Conduct Policy that we're talking about. It's not the NFL Suspicion Without and Evidence Policy. Dante Fowler just suspended for "off the field issues". 3 in 17 months.

Read the CBA. Maintain an educated position on the matter.
I'll help.
"Under Article XI of the NFL’s CBA, “action taken against a player by the Commissioner for conduct detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the game of professional football” may only be appealed to the commissioner."
"The lack of a just cause provision also implicates where the burden of proof lies in appeals of League discipline. Without a just cause standard, the burden of proof lies upon the party challenging the discipline. See In re Logan-Hocking (Ohio) Local School District Bd. of Educ., 122 Lab. Arb. 550, 557-58 (2006). That is to say, the disciplined employee, which in most instances operates through his certified collective bargaining representative, here, the NFLPA, has the burden of showing that the discipline was arbitrary or capricious."
"Players convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding (as defined in this Policy) are subject to discipline."
"Leave with Pay–A player may be placed on paid administrative leave pursuant to the Commissioner Exempt List under either of the following circumstances: ... Second,when an investigation leads the Commissioner to believe that a player may have violated this Policy by committing any of the conduct identified above , he may act where the circumstances and evidence warrant doing so
AKA Goodell can suspend you. FOR ANYTHING. And the burden of proof is on the player, or the PA, to fight it. And you can only appeal, to, you guessed it, the Commissioner.
Does that sound retarded? Of course. Did the NFLPA agree to it? You betcha.
Better luck next time. Do your homework.
What is the conduct that he would be suspended for? Thus far there is NO CONDUCT. The NFL would get crushed in a lawsuit. You trying to create facts when none exist is idiotic. There has and never will be an NFL suspension without actual conduct that can be deemed harmful to the NFL. In every case, there is conduct / action by a player that drives the suspension. It may not be criminal, but it's still something.

Tell that to Roethlisberger ... From 2010 ...
Roethlisberger Suspended Six Games. NEW YORK -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games without pay Wednesday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and ordered to undergo behavioral evaluation.
And he was never charged with anything.
His conduct was observed and evidence gathered. There doesn't need to be formal charges. For McCoy's "issue", there hasn't been a single drop of evidence produced / gathered.

Key questions not addressed (I see where the article came from, not to be expected there):
1) Will Daboll start out with the 100-different-plays-a-week that McCoy/Roman were reputed to expect the players to learn each week?
With young, inexperienced QBs and new players/shifting about on OL, not the best move
2) How has Daboll changed/what has he learned since his last stint as OC that might alter his success?
https://www.buffalobills.com/news/no-9-what-should-be-expected-from-brian-daboll-s-offenseFrom what I've been able to gather so far, my understanding is that Daboll's offense is going to be different week to week and focused on match-ups rather than schemes. Basically it's not trying to take the players that the Bills have and fit them into a system, so much as it's running plays based on the skills players have, and who's covering defensively. This is essentially what the Patriots do. They'll use a dozen different formations and essentially run the same play out of all of them, trying to work the weak links on defense.

This is the same as the "step-by-step" thread and probably can be merged to that by a moderator.

I don't know why this concept is so foreign to fans. The front office has been explicit in wanting to build a culture of winning; and of confidence. If they can win some games early, there's no reason to believe that they can't be a playoff team again this year. It hinges on QB play and the ability of the defense to improve from last year.

I said I did not care for Taylor, for exactly the reasons you say. I never saw the Bills look worse as a team than they did at home against New Orleans in the blowout (they lost by 37 points!) that made McDermott bench him and start Peterman against SD. I was 100% behind that move even though it blew up in their faces.
So yes, let's hope that whoever plays QB will move the ball better. But they are going to turn it over a LOT more than Taylor did; that's a foregone conclusion, and to assume that they are going to make up for that by scoring more, given the huge deficits in offensive talent, is foolish, in my opinion. The predictions that they will go 9-7 or 10-6 are fantasy.
I hope I'm wrong and they somehow play lights out but there's no way, at this point, seeing who they will likely be putting on the field, that anybody ought to reasonably expect that. This is going to be a learning season. If they make it to 8-8 it will be a huge achievement. I'm thinking 6 wins max.
Your opinion is consistent with the Vegas line of 6.5 games. Your perception of "lack of offensive talent" is couched in last years offense led by an inept QB that was unwilling to throw the ball. Right or wrong, I believe that the talent on offense is there and simply dependent on whether we have a QB that is willing to go downfield. None the less, I'm happy to make a gentleman's bet with you for $100 that the Bills offense is better than 29th in the NFL in offensive yards. In a nutshell, I think two things. 1 - Daboll is going to be more aggressive and more dynamic of a play caller than Dennison. Heck, I don't think there's any OC out there that's more conservative than Dennison was. 2 - Whomever is QB is going to be asked to throw the football. As far as the wins and losses are concerned, I wouldn't bet the over or the under, as I think it's a 50-50 proposition.

It's easy to imagine them being worse than that even if Shady plays the whole season. He's over thirty and his backup is over thirty and the o-line is full of question marks. They have one credible wide receiver. Yes, they passed for less than 200 yards per game but Taylor (who I did not care for) still only threw only 4 interceptions for the season. Peterman threw more than that in one half. Whoever plays QB for the Bills is going to turn the ball over a lot more than Taylor for sure. They may pass for more than 200 yards per game but that doesn't mean they are going to score points.
Plus the defense got 25 turnovers. They are going to have to do better than that to come out even.
Maybe Allen of somebody will play lights out at QB and Zay Jones will suddenly look great at receiver and the journeymen at center will play way above their heads and the defense will get even more turnovers, but on paper this looks like a worse offense than last year's, with the possibility of a defense equal or maybe slightly better if all the new parts work right.
Sure, he threw only 4 interceptions. How many touchdowns did he have in the air again? OK, so you don't have to look it up, only 14. He was right there with Jacoby Brisett. He was lousy. Terrible. When he needed to execute drives, he couldn't. For the defense, they did have 25 turnovers. Regardless, that wasn't world breaking. That ranked them 9th in the NFL overall. To boot, they didn't score points off of turnovers last season. They were near dead last in the NFL at 2.2 points per turnover. The Patriots by comparison were #1 at 6.0 points per turnover. I don't think that the Bills QB (whomever it is) needs to be "lights out". They need to simply be average. The defense, provided they stay healthy, should be better than last year. Don't forget that they ranked 26th in yards and 18th in points. That's despite all of those turnovers. Except for turnovers, the defense wasn't that good either.

I thought he just promised everyone that he recognized that Peterman was nothing more than a backup and would never start again. Seems like an easy fix.

- Stevie drop against Pitt in OT
- Stevie/Chandler fumbles against Atlanta in OT
- Pass interference call in Jags London game after we took the lead in the fourthWhat are some moments that you've felt physically ill or like you were going to have a stroke during a game?How about Jacksonville just this last year in the playoffs. Taylor rolls right, runs, runs, runs.....doesn't see 3 wide open receivers and then goes out of bounds. Mind numbing ineffectiveness.

If there's no injury issue, you don't at this point bench Allen. This is not a season where I had any personal expectations of wins/losses. That would stink of E.J. Manuel all over again.
