    ...he made the moves that were necessary to establish what type of environment he and McDermott wanted......painful?...yes?....is there ever a good time to do it?...nope.....bite the bullet and "no guts...no glory...no bawls...no blue chips"......was comical to sit back and watch the "TBD GM Wannabees (NEVER hired yet so noted)" chime in with , "...fire McBene...fire McDermott...hell fire the beerman......our clueless Owner sucks...." yada yada......the visual of that gang typing away from the safety of their "under the desk fortress" caused me to "double my monthly Depends budget".....BUT...I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...SMH...........

    OldTimeAFLGuy rocks!

    I'll summarize their 6 things for folks who don't want to click:

    1) It's Duke's time

    2) Maybe Zay needed this (a change of scene)

    3) Beane got something at least (for Jones)

    4) Take Bills coach- and GM-speak with a grain of salt

    McDermott said on Monday about Zay “He just has to continue to do his job. You saw guys compete at a high level yesterday. We made some, I thought, some really good plays at the wide receiver position and Zay is a guy that continues to grow and I think he’s still young in his career. He’ll continue to do a good job as he continues to grow and focus on what he can control and I really appreciate the way he took a team first approach yesterday.” 

     

    They say: " McDermott really liked him, then traded him? While speaking those words, McDermott was not unaware of a trade with the Raiders. "

    Reading between the lines, I think you can interpret McDermott differently

     

    5) 2017 draft class is 1/2 gone, let's hope we do better 2018-> on

    6) #1 WR is a big need for the Bills going forward

    2017 was Whaley's last draft with the previous scouting team; hopefully we do better in 2018 and 2019 after the dumpster fire of wasted number one picks throughout the last decade.

    Exactly. Plays have been there and missed by Allen and others. It seems whenever an offense has issues, some fans resort to “ play calling “ as being the problem. It’s a false association, ie it didn’t work so you should have called the other thing blah blah blah. Aside from a couple questionable moments ( calling a second straight QB sneak on 4th and longer than a yard for example) Daboll has had a pretty good feel with his calls. Unless you have a clueless Dennison style run, run, pass scenario, play calling is the most overused cliche “ problem” in the book. It’s generally a lazy complaint. 

    Great post, but never let it be said TBD lacks football experts ready to pounce on drama when provided the chance!

    After watching this I would file it under S!!T happens.  IMO this supports that:

     

    *  Allen is not playing hero ball here.  He is being aggressive which IMO is a good thing.

     

    *  I like how Allen scans the field working through his progressions.

     

    *  Folks saying that Knox was open are seeing fools gold IMO.  #26 is ready to jump all over any throw to Knox over the middle.  At minimum Knox would have gotten blown up.

     

    *  My best guess as to what happened is that Allen expected EITHER Beasley or Yeldon to run into the space where he put the ball.  If either do I think it's a completed pass for a 1st down.  The problem is that both receivers did the right thing to hold up and let the other guy move into that space.  So like I said before S!!T happens. 

     

    *  Either Beasley or Yeldon should have taken off deep on a go pattern.  That way the one who took off would have cleared their cover guy out of the middle and maybe even have provided a great deep strike opportunity.  Bottom line is the scramble drill needs work.

     

     

    Man, you must be new to TBD; you make sense!

    Most sensible post yet; man we have drama queens who over think everything!

    I seem to remember last summer there were some very level headed prognosticators talking about the upcoming season.  The consensus was that the offense would struggle in the first part of the season (5-8 games) while they learned to play together....but if the team could just tread water until that happened, they could have an impressive season.  Well, they have done more than tread water...and it makes me excited for the post-bye season.

    Another good post!

    ...yup...just my personal preference, but I like Allen's humility, respect for the game, diligent work ethic and "WE" versus "ME" attitude......quote was, "OUR team and OUR family"....kid is never seeking the ME spotlight..........

    We are building a class, character, and winning organization built on a team, not divas! It's a sign of the times that many on TBD want selfish superstars that provide a couple minutes of excitement rather than the boring climb to the top and longevity!

    Again he'll learn more throwing for 300 then 175 and check downs.  

     

    Like so many fans, you probably have no idea what a 300 yard passing game looks like as it has been over 2 seasons (and took overtime to get there)...... 

    Yup, your a football genius!

    Its weird, that people will respond with, that you don't care about anything else, except winning. If somebody said they wanted to see a certain player score a touchdown, or Tom brady getting sacked, would people honestly say they don't care at all about that, they just want to win? If somebody said they want to see a Hat Trick or a fight in a hockey game you would respond with "I just want to win."? If all I cared about was winning, I would just turn the game on with 5 minutes to go, and see what the score is. But I watch the entire game, because "I want to see how exactly we did win the game." Saying you want to win is not a valid argument in this case, we all want to see this team win. This OP was created, I believe, to discuss if you think Josh Allen can possibly get to 300 yards against a defense like the one coming up.

    Try reality TV!

    14-0 & then they let the defense take over.....  Same story week after week.  Scoring points is anathema when it comes to the Bills.   Anything over 21 is a result of the defense or will be a mistake.

     

    Exciting offensive football is not their style. 

    I knooooow, you want showtime, a Pinball Wizard with Arena Football League excitement, nothing boring for you; but for the fans on this board just win baby!

    The 300 yard passing game, are the kinds of numbers the best QB's in the league throw for.

     

    Of course wins are more important. But if Allen's numbers are mediocre against this terrible team, most Bills fans will definitely care about that.

    Nope, only the Arena Football League fans pass through the NFL!

    The Colts were even better at it last night against the Chiefs than the Bills.   The Colts were downright masterful running the ball.  

    But wait a minute, pass happy offenses led by the Pin Ball Master and Arena Football League action can't be beat by old fashion defense and a running game; you are so antiquated! At least that's what I get from the TBD Football experts.

    Hate?  I have nothing but love.  Love for Beane getting Tyrod the hell out of here and getting a 3rd round pick!  LOVE!!!!

     

    We lost to the best team in football/defending Super Bowl champs.  Did Allen suck in that game?  Yes.  It was his 15th start and against the best defense in the NFL.

     

    So, no ... I haven't explored that possibility.  Frankly, I'd rather explore Roseanne Barr's anus.

    Quote of the decade Gugny - "I'd rather explore Roseanne Barr's anus!" You made a great point!

    Keep in mind that all it takes is a loss or two and the "hate Mecbeane" crowd will return instantly!

    Yeah an one Int away from Tenn being the one kicking the FG too.

     

    Yes the good Josh was playing but the Int in Q-3 looked more like the old Josh.  And now you're asking him to press.

     

    I just think they are going to try and do everything they can to make sure Josh and the offense in general doesn't lose the game for them.

    OK, why not? Winning!!!!!!

    This has been a glaring issue since preseason. Idk if he is too slow to kick step or he isn’t getting a big enough jump to the edge, but either way, I don’t think he can play RT. At least right now, put him at guard. 

     

    I’m emotional, not irrational 

    Not sure about that, I detect Drama Queen!

    Im not arguing the win Uncle Rico, I’m merely stating my opinion that I felt the offense wasn’t good, and that Daboll specifically shouldn’t be credited as a key component to that victory. 

     

    Why is that such a difficult thing to process ? 

     

    “We win! Nothing is wrong! Don’t criticize anything! You must obey” 

     

     

    OK Emotionally Unstable!
