GoBills808 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Weird play...wtf was the guy doing sliding there? Defender was trying to make the right play, how's he supposed to expect a non-QB to slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 2 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: Well they did. They wanted to see Allen sling it and the line didn’t hold up. Until the OL gets figured out I don’t think they’d risk injury by calling those plays in a regular season game. It’s clear the OL wasn’t what they hoped. Reg season is a quick passing game to start. NP might be the option there. If Allen gets injured early, the year is likely a wash for him. Better to let him play the second half of the season a la Goff. Allen will win the job eventually, he is very very smart like Peterman except he has a golden arm but the game needs to slow down for him. Keep in mind that Peterman has a year on him, but eventually Allen catches up. I'm really really pleased with Peterman's progress though, he is an ideal backup QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have a very tough schedule and no franchise QB, yep, high draft pick in 2019. I am also a lifelong Bills fan and remember watching Ferguson to Jerry Butler and Joe Cribbs etc... I remember how dark 84' and 85' were. Any Bills fan is a Friend so I reach out with this friendly reminder. ITS THE PRESEASON!!!!!!! Take it all with a grain of salt. We looked pathetic in the preseason during the Marv Levy era. I trust the process as it far exceeded my excpectations last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring something miraculous, it's hard to see a good start. However, until the games mean something, who really knows? I think of the Browns preseason and regular season last year. It’s meaningless in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do anything as last year's starter to throw him off the roster He's hardly competing for a spot. Shady's not done much; are you angling to throw him off the roster? He's not lived up to his contract, but he's been a solid, consistent player over the past 3 years, and if the O-Line is as bad as it looks, they'll be happy to have a veteran starter tight end outlet.

You can have the best arm in NFL and if defender gets a good jump and knows it's coming then it could potentially be picked. I said earlier in thread that I think Nate needs to pump fake those throws and have receiver go deep. Will get that on film and defenders won't jump this throws as often. plausable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those weren’t quick hitters, by and large. They will have to run a quick game behind this OL in reg season. It’s apparent now. They wanted to see Allen throwing deeper stuff and this line isn’t up to it. ^This. not quite sure we were running dink dunk quick hits with the howitzer in. Clearly tried to shuffle the oline to give more time...didn’t happen. Also. I think it was pretty clear Josh was trying to hang in the pocket as long as he could. I liked to see him in there scanning as opposed to just bailing on the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the commentators always bludgeoning us over the head about the "NEW CATCH RULES" all preseason? Any new rule always gets over analyzed in pre-season. The pre-season ends up being the first time refs have to enforce new rules so there is actually an intrigue to how the refs call it in pre-season because that is an indicator of how it will be done in the regular season. But overall it is played out because that's one of the few relevant things they actually have to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to this point I see a guy who struggles to make the throw because there isn't enough velocity for the ball to make to the wideout before the cornerback closes. Again, think he deserves to win the job but also feel like he has limitations in this one particular area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
