cgg716 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It’s a nice win, feels good to have one. Did many good things, but also something interesting came to light I think. This is not a tank and it never was. A QB came right off the street, limited playbook and played a competent game. Easy opponent sure, but competent nonetheless. Blaming the talent holds a little less weight now To me it’s proof that they were attempting to win all along and honestly believed, first that Mccarron couldn’t, then that Peterman could, then Anderson. Didn’t see fit to retain or acquire a true no 2 QB behind Allen at a minimum. Not because they weren’t trying to win, but because they honestly thought they had one. So I still worry about how they will handle the rest of the offense. Cross your fingers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I guess we have to give Daboll major credit for getting this game out of Barkley hardly knowing the offense 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Tanking in the NFL does not mean you literally try to lose. You shed overpriced contracts and accumulate draft picks, which leads to a couple bad years. Of course we still game plan and try to win each game, but if you think we are selling out to win with $50 million in dead cap and a rookie QB you're nuts. 7 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Barkley was injured and Anderson wasn't sure he wanted to come back. Neither of them was available during the offseason. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your negativity. Just enjoy the win, will ya. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know he’s still on the roster, though let’s hope that changes tomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Well, I feel better about Daboll now, I'll tell you that. We need to finish strong. Carry over into next year, stop heads from rolling. They should get 1 more draft, then I'll judge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I feel like I need to clarify my comment earlier about tanking I think I mispoke myself I dont believe McD is tanking....i just dont think they did everything they possibly could to get the most talent to win THIS season..... They keep trotting out KB.....who at this point is a disaster of a WR for us They didnt make changes to their OL......look at what happened today.....ONE change actually put energy into them They didnt aggressively persue QBs They didnt make trades at the deadline There were thing that could have been done....but they didnt do them which leads me to still believing next year is the big offensive push for talent but I in no way think McD is TRYING to lose games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without legit QB play you are absolutely ***** in this league. Barkley just gave us one of the better performances the Bills have seen since Orton. Our O-line magically appears to be great Our RB's look like pro-bowlers Our Wr's look NFL caliber. Excluding KB Until we get consistent QB play like seen today we will continue to blow. Let's go Allen! Barkley is now a decent back up plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 So when Allen is healthy, (1) does he play or watch, and (2) do we go with just Allen and Barkley for the rest of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
