Barkley had a fantastic game today, hats off to him, and he deserves huge kudos.

 

But he also showed that he still has the rag arm and he cannot have continued success in this league, which was the reason he was out of it. He should never be considered a possible starter. He can do what he did today, sometimes, by being smart and accurate and having everything go well for him. But don't mistake this game for Barkley being good. He's not. 

 

Bingo. In the predictions thread I gave a nod to the billsy outcome being Barkley looks good, everyone goes Gaga for him and suddenly we find ourselves picking 11th while Barkley is still not actually a player.

The rag arm was on full display all game. He's Peterman 1.0 but with slightly better rag arm and smarter, which allows him to have games like this. But this is not who he is, this is the good Barkley. 80% of the time he's the Bad Barkley.

If he really wanted to keep Peterman he could just stick him on the practice squad.  Personally I hope they just let him go period

I know you are being smarty but there isn't a chance in hell they would risk Allen on the practice squad.

Peterman will make the practice squad as McD can't seem to let him go...

Even knowing that this was probably as good as it gets for Barkley I'd still rather him start the rest of the season over Allen. The Jags still have a top defense it's just this year they are 30th in the takeaway category -11. Whereas Cleveland is #1 in that stat with +11.

 

What is sorta crazy is that when the Bills win they have an effective run game. Against the Jets 46 rushing attempts, a 4.6 YPC average. Only 4 penalties for 43 yards.

 

The thing is this team is 3-7 and gets blown out in most losses with no run game and the QB under constant duress, the line can't block and nobody can catch in those losses. 

 

I just don't trust this O line to protect Allen and he still needs time to develop.

Allen or Barkley starting after the bye im fine......just rip off the bandaid and for all that is holy and good please just get rid of Peterman....Anderson could follow him out the door........we got Mr. Logan Thomas as # 3!!!  that was a nifty throw he made today no?

I would keep Allen, Barkley and Anderson on the roster.   Barkley has earned at least a chance to prove himself as the Bills  backup after today.   It would be easy to say cut Anderson based on the two games that he played this year, but  I think that it would be smart to keep him too.  My reasoning is that he does have good previous experience as a veteran backup and would be good for a mentoring/coaching  role  to Allen.   He would also provide Buffalo with an option who is already on the team if Allen or Barkley are injured later in the season.    No more Peterman and no more of this street free agent stuff anymore please.

let anderson go back to golf and carry the 3 for the rest of the way. i gotta say i am surprised and was wrong about a few things. great game.

 

Anderson is better than Peterman, and he can serve a mentor role for Allen. Peterman offers nothing except a better 2019 draft position.

By Nate.  Nic guy, but not an NFL QB.  I wouldn’t even put him on the PS.  We have a week off so Anderson will be ok.  If Barkley falters, then you go back to Allen.

Pointless to have Barkley play... Allen starts.

Because he will never make it there, for one.....

He tossed a few floaters today where we got lucky. Far closer to Peterman than Allen, but wildly refreshing!

Barkley has earned another start. Allen will get in when they are mathematically out if it. Not z big deal to wait.

 

Allen's development with actual game experience is far more important than playing a potential long term backup QB.

I'm not here to bicker, just say what I expect to happen. I think Barkley will start.

I agree with you.  I think Barkley gets to start against Jacksonville and then we see what happens from there.  I suspect there would be a lot of support for that in the locker room.

Bills not certain of starting QB after Matt Barkley beats Jets

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25248815/buffalo-bills-not-certain-starting-qb-matt-barkley-beats-jets

The Bills' 313 yards and four offensive touchdowns in the first half against the Jets were their most since Doug Flutie led Buffalo to 332 first-half yards in a season-ending win in 2000.

Give Barkley another start. 2 weeks to prepare for the home start against the Jags...punch it up. Play him until he gives you a reason not to

 

3-7 says play Allen with him as the future of the franchise which we know Barkley is not.

Allen is not going anywhere and there is no rush to say that. What if Barkley just plays well and never lets up? You never know where your qb is going to come from. It doesn’t matter how you get here. It matters how you play when you are here

I’m serious in that I want Barkley to play until he struggles. Allen was playing terrible before he got hurt. I don’t want to pull out the 1 guy that moved the ball and actually played well. Maybe Barkley matches up well with Dabol. Give him two weeks to prepare for Jacksonville and if he backs up today, keep him going

This is a interesting situation.   I posed this question in another thread.  Do the Bills go back to the original plan and start Barkley and let Allen learn from the sidelines or do they start Allen after the bye week?

Makes zero sense to me because the team is not in playoff contention and Barkley is not the future of the franchise.

Because you play to win. When, and if, Barkley plays poorly, then you let Allen play again. You’ll get ZERO push back from the locker and YOU don’t get a vote!

 

3-7 record. They are done for the season with regard to 2018 playoff aspirations.  The players know Josh Allen is the future of the franchise and you will see more young guys getting chances as we did today. Playing Barkley makes no sense.
