Top 5? Top 5?!?! I know I said we'd be Top 5, but we'll be top 2, and we're not 2, I thought you had one but it's not one, corta nah. Hermes link, ice blue... I'll see myself out.

tyrod being a running qb who can't read the d well or throw with anticipation means there is one blueprint to defend him -- like the man said "make him be a quarterback". if the opposing d plays conservative (defending more of the pitch) then TT and a sick run game can make some money, but once coaches figured out they don't need to you saw tyrod end up as the 31st qb in the NFL in terms of production. new england started out blitzing him in the shoot out loss in tyrod's second start (and our D pulled the greatest rex ryan disappearing act ever that game) and tyrod was able to make huge plays (with better weapons). after that game, NE played us much better by keeping a spy or two, and clogging up lanes to defend pass and run at the same time. any good nfl qb would carve that up by throwing over the linebackers, but tyrod just never did. about production -- how can anyone say it doesn't matter? of course yards matter, it's football for crying out loud. if you are on your own 10, with 2 mins left, not getting yards not only means you can't sneak in a quick 3 or a glorious 7, but you punt the ball away and give the other team another shot. 3 and outs (but not turnovers, tyrod gets big credit for that) set our d up to fail over and over again. a lack of "meaningless" yards also meant we got pinned back in our own end (since the prior possession we punted from our 31 or whatever) so the OC had to be more risk averse than usual. i remember a quote from a power running back who said "if you need 1 yard, i'll get you 3, if you need 5, i'll get you 3". Tyrod is the qb equivalent to that.

Tyrod regressed because we took away his Greggggg Roman O, which made colin Kap look like an all star. It was a pretty interesting system, with insane formations and a run game that kept the entire front 7 of the D guessing and resulted in huge run plays and provided some deep passing chances. it also lead to penalties, no rhythm, and plays took SOOOOO LONGGG to get in. 8 million formations and 35 substitutions per drive. the RB coach now in SD ran it better than roman did, but it was his creation. anyhow, tyrod has huge limitations as a passer, and even tho some fans give him excuses comparing him to brees or whever from 15 years ago, passing production is up all around and tyrod just couldn't deliver because he struggles to read a d and make an accurate throw. he was IMO maybe the best QB ever at not turning it over tho, and ran well. I look at tyrod as a perfect guy to add onto a team with a sick D, solid run game, and no passing O, because he make some plays out of thin air, but he can't work within the offensive system and implement a dynamic passing attack. I think houston 2 years ago when they had osweiler and savage at qb would have a shot at the chip with him, or some of the pre flacco baltimore teams, or even the jets in ryan's first days there. he's just too limited and we have seen what he can do, and more importantly what he cannot do. He was also an awesome pro, great to his teammates, solid attitude, and a quiet type of leader. IMO he is the ideal back up QB for most any team because he can leg it out and will not make the bad turnover, but he simply cannot be relied upon to score, or even avoid killer 3 and outs in his own end. we are going a totally different direction with the team now, with tyrod we more or less needed the opponents to incorrectly defend against us or make a big mistake so we could get a few big plays and we had trouble sustaining drives due to the lack of efficiency in passing. now that we are going all out stud talent at QB (and adding pieces like that on D) we are trying to have a team that can score against any D from any spot on the field (with a higher risk of turnovers). basically the opposite of the gregg roman tyrod bills, which was money in the redzone, but stalled out so often in key situations you wanted to pull your hair out. i give tyrod a partial pass for last season, because the talent level on O fell off and the OC was junk and get his walking papers over it, but tyrod's flaws were just emphasized, and we saw the entire O just vanish for long stretches, including a frankly embarrassing string of games mid season.

i really do think we have a shot at both ROY prizes (full on preseason homer mode for me). top to bottom on the draft this year the bills selected exceptional athletes/measurable guys. i don't think we have any real character concern type picks either, all of that leads me to think the coaching staff have supreme confidence that if they are supplied with a stud athlete with a good attitude, they can mold him into an NFL killer and in quick order. i hope zay jones can come back to earth and play like he was picked, but i can't help but suspect we will be shopping for big dollar WRs next offseason.

allen will be ready much faster than many think, particularly compared to many of the other rook qbs, because he was in a pro style O that made him attempt difficult passes. the quick slants and screens which go for 50 yards that okalhoma ran all the time are the plays that aren't there in the pros (not as much anyhow, and with much smaller windows). there is no replacement for pure talent in the NFL, and we finally have a guy with the ability to put the ball all over the place precisely. it's gonna be a lot of fun to be a bills fan.

our d will suffocate and take away big plays while (attempting at least) to keep teams honest and stop the run from being a consistent money maker. think of our performance vs the jags in the playoffs. they will have some let downs, but not like last years 3/4 game stretch of shame. we will do the opposite on O. attempt to control the clock, run consistently, and pass over the top for big chunks. the sad part is i suspect we will still have too many 3 and outs like we did last year (and before), but our new found ability to put the ball over the d will loosen them up and get us more points. i don't think we have as many 3 point games, or one offensive touchdown games, as we did. we will turn the ball over more, and our d is better at every level and will take weapons away in coverage, while being disciplined. i think we get 9 to 11 wins.

lol, what an awesome story. i agree w the above. preston brown was a skilled LB, but his slow slow speed was a huge problem and helped cost us a potential playoff road win vs the jags. if you watch the jag lbs vs ours, (in the gut mostly) it was night and day wrt speed. I think our new rook is gonna look like the predator out there, a big long body covering ground quickly and snatching people up. also making trophies out of player's skulls and spines, going into active camouflage, the usual.

if he's too hurt to play/practice, he'd just go on our practice squad, right? I really think the NFL should allow a larger roster, it doesn't make the game better to have some guy come off the couch not knowing the play book to long snap or play RT or whatever in week 9.

this seemed like trumped up bs to me, getting rehashed in the media. but then i took a closer look at patricia. He is such an unrepentant manlet that i'm not so sure anymore. to be safe we should all post on this website and social media that sexual assault is bad (controversial hot take for the brave few willing to take a stand) and then perhaps retardedly blather believe all women or something.

love it! does anyone think that there are NFL d linemen who don't use steroids and other PEDs?

allen is gonna light the nfl on fire and put it out with highlight reel gasoline.

OMG, you guys are gonna blind me with the badge shining! LJL at incel ideology! has no one here ever posted or read the misc? have any idea where these words come from? do any of you even lift?

can't this guy be a low iq psycho criminal jock AND be dating a filthy pig of a woman who makes stuff up because she's a half retarded gold digging spaz? this is america, if you dream it you can live it! anyhow, throwing a dog sounds bad, but what if it was biting him? i agree with every one signalling their animal love virtue, DOGS ARE DIVINE AND NEVER BITE EVER!!!! IMPEACH AND YET SHE PERSISTED!

Allen is gonna win the competition, start day 1, and smoke fools. he'll only be passing a low number of times per game, but there will be long bombs and play action, which will back d off

how has no one mentioned steroids? im big (6'4" ~260) and not fat (say 15% bf or so). I tore a biceps a few years ago, my arm and shoulder went polio small after surgery, did a bunch of rehab, and i got right back up to my original size, and bigger since. now, my arm was tiny, and my shoulder too, but the rest of my body didn't just suddenly shrink, even tho i wasn't lifting or eating much. so why did this happen to me and not to all these players who shrunk? hmmmmmmmmm. ok, i missed this. someone did mention it!

that's a motherfather fact, jack. Dr Joshua Allen passed the ball what, 23 times a game? there isn't enough data to conclude how much of the % was his accuracy, his decision making, the types of throws schemed for or attempted, and so on. when he's blasting cam newton style bombs over the D, we are gonna see the back 7 play honest and back off, and that will allow for more run success. one thing that made me kick myself in the face watching tyrod was the 3rd and 6 special. it was a half hearted play action attempt, or read option look, followed by a roll out, tyrod avoiding pressure, and then throwing a contested pass to the TE for 4 or 5 yards. Cap'n Allen of the USS ThunderArm will throw more picks than Tyrod (who nearly set a dang record not turning over the ball) but as long as they are deep downfield it's not a huge drop off, but i think day one on 3rd and long he will be a better threat to convert than T mobile was.

LJL! i was looking around for some vids of our new (not yet, but future HOF) QB the day after we drafted him, and all that was coming up (except on this board which lanked me up some nice high lights) was woke hot takes on his tweets. one woke clown tard, who i think was a basketball player, was getting homotional and saying the n bomb tweet from allen was hostile and confrontational, and not like some other tweet by some other person which was quoting a rap song. needless to say, lolz were had. i actually recognized the song that allen tweeted! he also tweeted some tv show, and made a joke about penis (which i found personally offensive, because that's a symbol of the patriarchy and she persisted and i'm with her). i do remember some very angry posters here talking about how his tweets, as a 15 year old, were horrible and very concerning. and i agree, because how dare anyone do anything!

russ also saved that poor intern from a loveless life!

dude, remember the jets/NO, NE stretch? Tyrod just turtled up and did nothing. was so hard to watch. or cincy, we get the late turnover, and he just freaking sat there and didn't throw, or threw a nice 5 yard out on 3rd and long.

i was worried about qb production from our new, soon to be HOF, rookie, but then i looked at the box scores and remembered tyrods games last year. he was just terrible. we just stank on O last season, so now our d is better and will will be equal to better early on O, and way better by the end. get ready to win, bills fans.

The inside scoop: Russ is just an olde tyme romantic, just like Terry P, and his passion and huge heart was taken advantage of. Kim and terry are jealous of him for having a newer fresher version of their story, so they removed him! also, all of Russ's horrible horrible decisions and hires were someone else's fault. Prolly.

they have stopped nothing. kim is still the boss lady because of who she slept with, and maybe this girl who Russ was heroically sexing up wanted the same outcome for herself and future husband Russ! Kim being the one to handle this situation is hypocritical, and if she wanted to no longer be the "other woman" who gets the keys to the castle, she should at least recuse herself on this matter. up until about 30 minutes ago i figured russ was a azz kissing tool who just did a bad job and got away with it, but now i see him for the people's champion and persecuted hero that he is!

Totally, right? russ was a horrible monster, and any subordinate female is a wilting flower who is taken advantage of, except for Kim, who is a super excellent great president of a team, and terry p never slept w the help! [edited by mod to remove political talk and personal insults]

sure, but that's totally hypocritical on behalf of the pegula's, and the badge polishing going on here is laughable.

i hear you, but the point is the silly idea of women being beyond reproach, victims to these evil powerful men using their status to take advantage, but also super competent go getters is clearly internally conflicted, and ignores some very obvious realities. it's particularly funny to me when in this thread there is the story of how the current president of the bills got that position by marrying her old boss.
