The yards thing is nice. but holding down the points would be better.

Cut Nasty Nate Sign Colin Kaepernick and start him vs Chargers

Yay. Shoulda been done 10 months ago. Better late (and 2 losses) than never I suppose.

Which is something we didn't have before yesterday and team really needs. Ask the Eagles or SB XXV Giants or the El Perfecto Fish or The Greatest Show on Turf. The kid had a great game. Best by any Bills QB BY FAR since Hotrod left town. He gives us the BEST chance to. beat Coach Moron. Josh ain't going anywhere.

I voted Barkley for 2 reasons. 1. He threw as many TD passes today as the other 3 combined. We need at least competent QB play for a while at least to determine if these WRs and Oline guys are any good. Today the WRs were able to get separation and catch the ball which they hadn't been so good at with the other guys. Protection seemed a little better. We need to develop them too. 2. I don't think Allen is ready. If Barkley can put a few more games like this together, it could be a good learning experience for Josh. Would also give him time to work on fundamentals which he dearly needs if he is ever to be good. When we get to the final few games if we are indeed out, then start Josh the last few games of the year. When he was in before it didn't look to me like he learned much and was likely developing bad habits with the pass rush etc.

Just win baby

The lesson here is to not put too much emphasis on pre season games. Preseason doesn t mean nothing. It means less than nothing.

the season starter is not nor has been injured this year. Only backups have been inured. Selecting Nasty Mate as starter falls squarely on the brain trust. didn't the Packers go through several QB s a few years ago? Rodgers and the first backup were injured early on. Then they brought in Seneca Wallace who was promptly injured. iN 2013 they started 4. In 2010, the Cowboys started Quincy Carter (8) / Anthony Wright (3) / Ryan Leaf (3) / Clint Stoerner (2) In 2015 the Cowboys started Matt Cassel (7) / Tony Romo (4) / Brandon Weeden (3) / Kellen Moore (2)

Bills have the best stadium

Barkley was pedestrian at best for the Bears IMHO. But ok. As to your other point yes and no. While it is important to develop Allen, there are also 10 other guys out there that need to be really good and do their job to win that need to be developed too was my point. If Alen is injured and can't play, we don't have to put everyone else's development on hold til he gets back. The NFL is full of cases where a team with a really good qb has not had regular sucess. Like the Chargers regularly missing the playoffs with Rivers under center. QB is THE most important position, but far from the ONLY position that matters.

I'm gonna disagree with this a little bit. You may be right about the score part. However I thought the point of dumping vets was to start building the dynasty. Play young players to develop. Guys like Za y and Croom and the young Oline guys. How are we supposed to do that with inaccurate turn over machines at QB? Barkley has the same MO. At least AJ has had some success effectively running an NFL offense.

Two of the great offensive minds in NFL history were known as defensive guys when hired. Tom Landry, player/DC for the Champion Giants. Bill Bellyache, DC of the Champion Giants. Marv Levy was HC of a really good offensive team who was a Special Teams Coordinator.

These guys need to develop a sense of urgency.

This better work. It is far from a guarantee. Enjoy.

Love how you state this as if it is a fact. Here's my deal. I think a better plan is to build the talent around the QB if you don't have won. it is possible to win that way and have fun seasons as we saw last year and Jacksonville did too. Always be on the lookout for a good QB and when you have a chance to get one, go for it. This is what they Saints did. they were making playoffs and not advancing with Blake. Then they got a chance to get Drees and they plugged him and were ready to take off. We could have drafted Watson with that 10th pick for example. As it is now we have wasted a year developing long shot Josh Allen because we have such a dearth of talent we can't even evaluate him. He is running for his life and developing bad habits. How does this make sense? Didn't have to be this way.

Good idea. Let's put on sackcloth and ashes and crawl into a hole and sing woe is us. Come on man, is this what we've come to? We don't even want to win?

I'm taking your word for it that he won't lose the locker room creating more guys that don't respect THE PROCESS.

I'll have to take your word for it. I'm not so sure. We got 2 months of this to go.

i do. Nasty Nate does not deserve to start. its embarrassing. i hate it. I fear the result of this will be Coach McDermott losing the locker room. More guys will need to dumped due to not respecting the process. Maybe a player or two will retire similar to like Aaron Schobel did creating MORE holes. When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Play Barkley. Maybe he's learned something. Doubtful, but we already know Nasty Nate can't learn anything. He thinks a Hail Mary is running play,

This remains to be seen. I know I'm in the minority, but I would rather once we got playoffs and 2 winning season in last 4 years we try to remain competitive and add talent instead of dumping talent for possible maybes. Last year made the playoffs and were 7 points short of advancing. it's not like we've been going 4-12 for the last 4 years. Try to make the playoffs 2 years in a row. I know 90 mil blah blah blah. Not buying it.

Of course you could also find a sucker to trade out of their #10 pick.

Actually we're still paying him. so it wouldn't be 16 mil hit, it'd be like a net 8 mil hit. AND we get to take advantage of his services. He is tough. He probably wouldn't be injured like the rest of the guys we got. Screw winning though. Draft picks and 90 mil blah blah blah are better. Makes for fun Sunday afternoons at the Ralph. Laughing at ANOTHER turnover for a TD and booing Nasty Nate lustily for trying to run in a Hail Mary is fun.

Because he did last year. That Bears game is the kind we won last year. He wouldn't have given up 14 and we probably would have score 20 or so.

In his post game PC McDermott said he wants to protect the football and win one on one matchups. If that is really your plan, why would you run off the QB that protects the football like no other and start a guy that doesn't respect the football? What do we know about winning SBs? How about we just try to be competitive for a few years first and build from there?

Worst QB in NFL history is how you do it. i like your idea of improving. But it would probably be better to not dump the guy you can win with until you have something better. Clearly we don't and did not improve. HUGE FAIL. Inexcusable IMHO. I'd step into the one that results in way more wins and playoffs.
