I don't think that they had the luxury of being able to go defense in round 1 this year regardless of whom they found available. I really think that they should have grabbed Dillard. Time will tell on this year's picks. Let's see how this "new" OL" works out...I would like to see another impact DE as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, definitely need a pass-rusher or two, particularly with Lorax at 36 and in his last season and Hughes aging with no one to backfill on the edges. Hopefully Oliver's everything that they say.

I like his approach as well...outside of one coach, nothing seems to bother him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, don't think so much. It's football and we fans should try to enjoy it. Let the season go a few games. There is some evidence that things could be much more fun to watch this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, we'll see. If this OL isn't what it's supposed to be, if Morse stays hurt and continues to have injury issues, then I suspect others will have thought the same in hindsight. When you have a risky investment like Allen it would seem that one would go out of the way to ensure his ultimate success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exciting, but his passing leaves much to be desired, but we were talking about recongizability and that kinda thing, eh. We'll see. As with everyone else I'm hopeful, but unlike most others I'm simply not seeing it right now. For example, while that play that I referred to was off-the-charts exciting, if any one of those three other defenders after Barr had been a little closer, close enough to have leveled Allen in the air it could have sent him to the bench with a completely different outcome. We were up 17-0 at that point and Minny hadn't done anything at all up to that point, it was beyond clear that they had come in flat. He's gotta protect himself more than that. That's stuff's fine in college but it's going to get him killed in the NFL if he keeps it up. Either way, excitement doesn't always translate to winning or sound offensive performance, ... as last season bore out. "Well, to be fair I'm critical of his play. " . . . REALLY! Wow! There's news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) I just temporarily moved to Las Cruces, NM of all places. I walk into a dollar store and me and some random guy recognize that we're both wearing Bills hats; small world. Had a brief conversation about our doubts and hopes regarding JA. Being a Bills fan really is a fraternity of sorts. Edited July 7, 2019 by LSHMEAB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were both pretty much in the same boat; cautiously optimistic, but still somewhat skeptical. I need to see him hit the short and intermediate routes with consistency before I'll be "sold." He's a fun guy to watch, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Bills fan not extremely intrigued to see how he'll progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was thrust in to the role and didn't even play a full season. 2019 will tell us a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I had responded to you. Thanks for the significant contribution in butt-in fashion to the overall conversation. Feel better? And not that there's anything to be critical about or anything given his top-5 passing performance last season. Just sayin' .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo86 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 FWIW, a Phins fan coworker who was at the season ender in Miami said that Josh Allen looked like a man among boys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
