I'm good on that, let's just go full bore Josh!! I think we are underestimating how brutal that week 3 game at Minnesota is going to be. Game plan better be run, run, three step drop for that game. Just don't want Allen to lose his confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has got to be the biggest myth in professional football today. Sorry but David Carr wasn't ruined by his line, he just sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Minny, can we run a full "3 yards and cloud of dust" O that entire game!? As for the "loss of confidence" I've heard enough Sirius / NFLN pundits say that if you have a QB that can be "ruined" by a bad game, or even season, then you don't have a QB. Guess we're going to see how it all plays out!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not nearly as historically awful as people are making it out to be. They faced a great defense on Sunday and often gave the QB’s enough time to throw. And it’s impossible to run block against 9 man fronts. Exactly what I have been saying, put a QB in that's a threat to throw the ball and they will look much better when the defence is lining everyone up at the line and rushing the QB cause they know he cant pass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it can really help any to play with such a terrible line. I don't think that it is necessarily a myth that a QB could learn bad habits based on consistently being put in terrible positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we're going to see how it all plays out!! ? Allen played with a terrible supporting cast at Wyoming. Maybe losing confidence is the wrong term to use. But it certainly doesn't seem that playing with a bad supporting cast at Wyoming has helped Allen any. Sure he still has confidence. But he hasn't been able to develop properly playing with such a bad cast. I just don't want the same thing to happen now in the the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 After the Ravens debacle this was the predictable outcome. Nate crapping out again badly might have permanently indicted this admins ability to evaluate QBs. Daboll had better have figured something out by Sunday to take the pressure off JA. Chargers weakness has been defending the run so you absolutely want a conservative, run heavy gameplan (and the Bills have the horses). To do that though you probably first need to get them out of the box. So Allen will have to put the ball in the air. Although Allen has the physical ability to challenge every part of the field I think we see a dumbed down O featuring half field reads at best as well as a fair number of quick hitters, in effect single read execution. If they don't ask him to do too much hopefully he will do well enuf to start benefitting from live action experience. Hoping for the best as always but the team should never have been put in this position to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Maybe the Bills players can watch some tape of the jets game from Monday night. See how every Jets unit played hard and did everything they could to make sure their rookie QB had a chance to succeed. How about the Bills D, Special teams and O-line help the kid out with maximum effort and disciplined play? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and I am a just a fan. Peterman looks descent when there is no pressure, no game planning, no blitzing. Put some heat on the guy and game plan for him and he is a complete joke. He has MASSIVE limitations. It stuns me that Mcd and Daboll could not recognize that, and picked him to start based on meaningless pre season games I can agree they probably should have been able to recognize it...but who knows what the heck they are thinking.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Bills rookie Josh Allen named starting QB vs. Chargers The Josh Allen era in Buffalo will begin in earnest this Sunday. Bills coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday that the rookie quarterback will start Buffalo's Week 2 home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers under center. "It's the right move for our team," McDermott told reporters. The coach would not discuss whether naming Allen the starter was a permanent decision. Allen, the seventh overall pick, will replace ineffective second-year quarterback Nathan Peterman, who mustered a 0.0 passer rating in Buffalo's 47-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week.
