26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 From Matthew Fairburn at The Athletic: 'He hasn't made the same mistake twice': What Josh Allen's... ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Just like that, the Buffalo Bills are handing the keys to their rookie quarterback. The Buffalo Bills announced Josh Allen, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, will be the team’s starting quarterback for Week 2 after Nathan Peterman turned in another disastrous performance to open the season. Sean McDermott would only say “it’s the right move for our team” and “I don’t feel the need to elaborate.” While few will argue Allen is the most talented quarterback on the roster, it’s fair to wonder if putting a rookie in charge of an offense that lacks talent at both offensive line and wide receiver. This is trial by fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Should the Troubled Bills Be Starting Josh Allen? By ALBERT BREER - September 13, 2018 Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott weren’t expecting to incur the 47-3 shiner they took Sunday at the hands of the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. But the Bills GM and coach had a pretty decent idea going into 2018—even if they couldn’t come out and say it—that there were some low moments coming. So you can trust them on this: Wednesday’s quarterback decision wasn’t born of panic. The call to go with second-year pro Nathan Peterman, made on Sept. 3, was a fairly close one. The staff gave Josh Allen a preseason start on Aug. 26 as his shot to win the starting job. He didn’t; Peterman, through a strong August, had. That said, coming out of a preseason playing backups and vanilla schemes, the Bills didn’t know what Peterman would look like with a high-end defense game-planning him. The results weren’t pretty. Peterman pulled the rare Blutarsky (passer rating: zero-point-zero) in Baltimore. The performance served as an encore to his five-interception effort against the Chargers in his first career start last fall, and the sum of the parts lacked the evidence—or progress—needed to keep going forward with a fifth-round pick in his second year over a rookie bursting with potential taken seventh overall. And that’s really it. The Bills did on Wednesday what they would’ve done on Aug. 27 if Allen hadn’t crumbled behind an onslaught of Bengals pass rushers in the team’s third preseason game. It’s also what was coming, one way or another, before too long. Edited September 13, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Why Josh Allen is Fit for Success and a Fit for Buffalo His time on the field may have come sooner than planned by the Bills organization. Head coach Sean McDermott had a detailed and defined plan for bringing Josh Allen along. Whether or not that plan has been accelerated, Allen’s time is now. As he prepares for his first career NFL start, Allen knows he’s likely to experience some hard lessons in his rookie season. But the first-round pick has a perseverance to him that you don’t find in every rookie NFL quarterback. He doesn’t make the same mistakes twice. Allen dedicates himself to improvement and isn’t satisfied unless he’s the first one in the building and the last one out.

Jay_Fixit Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 14 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Chargers not altering game plan on defense facing rookie QB COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers face a familiar scenario for the second straight game, preparing for an athletic but inexperienced quarterback. After facing Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes last week, the Chargers will go up against Buffalo’s Josh Allen, who will be making his first NFL start Sunday. Coach Anthony Lynn and members of the Chargers secondary say they don’t see much alteration of the game plan with the Bills going to their rookie, who was the seventh overall pick in this year’s draft. “When preparing against someone like that, you are not going to change too much. You watch the tape, look at the tendencies when making certain throws and go off on that,” safety Adrian Phillips said. The Chargers are preparing for Allen the same way they did with Mahomes, which is breaking down his college tape and preseason game. Safety Derwin James said the biggest thing that surprised him watching Allen was that he was better than he thought as a runner. Allen was sacked three times in last Sunday’s 47-3 loss to Baltimore but did have four rushes for 26 yards. Lynn said he expects a healthy amount of run-pass option plays for Allen. “He can run the zone read. Two of those were designed quarterback runs so he can move. You are going to have some of the same issues (as last week),” he said. Bills don’t have a Tyreek Hill to do all the work for their QB. So Chargers are just like whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rivers isn't hurried, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams will do just fine against the Bills' DBs and they have Gordon for their running game.
