Boatdrinks Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Today just shows you can’t get too high or too lo based off of preseason games. I still have no idea how this team will do when the regular season is upon us in just a couple of weeks. One can project that the offense will be better than last year, but still below average overall. The defense may be in the upper third or so in some categories but not so strong in others. I’d probably take the over on the Vegas line of 6.5 wins, but not by a lot. A serious injury at a key spot could put this team at 6 wins or fewer. Talent wise, I’d bet they end up around 8-8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The kid has played less than one season, and this was his first time getting all the reps in TC. I’ll stay relaxed, with fingers crossed. For a while..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) One of the things I couldn't help visualize is with the injuries seemingly piling up it felt like McDermott keeping his starters in was like this guy. Also the dialogue from the other guy feels like it fits for the offense too. Edited August 24, 2019 by Warcodered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallions Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 After watching #1 Ed Oliver in this game it's obvious he isn't ready to be an NFL starter. Getting pancaked twice one-on-one while trying to penetrate the the Lion's O-Line isn't only embarrassing but shows a lack of ability at the NFL level. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll ever stop completely. It's just part of that "hero ball" mentality that will always be there. And it's either going to make him great or terrible. Let's just hope we see, at most, 1 or 2 a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Allen’s going to make those forced mistakes from time to time... The key is trying to limit them right now. I just like to think of them as more “Favre-Esque” than “Fitz-ish.” Because like Favre he will eventually make enough great plays that they kinda cancel out the mistakes that come with being a “gun slinger”... Tonight was a bad one, I believe Josh won’t let himself forget that he can’t do that *****, and he will learn from it... He will learn, I just think it’s hard when you are THAT physically gifted, to concede the play to the defense and move on to the next, but he’ll get it.

BillsFan692 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I know we're all bills fans here but I'm not 110% on the 'our starters beat their starters' train. First of all, I don't think Detroit played stafford in their last possession of the half, did they? Also, at the point JA ran his 2 minute drill (Which was after Stafford was benched) was the entire Detroit Lions first string defense still out there? Maybe.. I am not certain. But even so, it was a shaky first half and at best I'd call it even but given the field positions we found our selves in and the turn overs I see it hard to mark it as a 'win' even for my optimistic side. Still, I'm not too down about it, our game plan of run run pass was bad and that contributed to at a lot of it.

DallasMac Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The Allen pick wasn't good but I think his numbers look much better if Beasley doesn't fumble the ball. Allen only had six throws and one thing that has become clear to me is that he gets better as the game progresses. Without the fumble I bet he would've had a decent drive. McCoy looks like his old self which is awesome and I'm glad Gore came back in after the hit because it looked bad at first. Duke just makes plays and they need to get him on the team.

It's just part of that "hero ball" mentality that will always be there. And it's either going to make him great or terrible. Let's just hope we see, at most, 1 or 2 a season. The way I see it.. there are 2 possible end game strategies for Josh: 1) try to force him to become an efficient passer that takes less risks and runs less. i.e. a Ben Roethlisberger type 2) a player that runs and passes very aggressively. I'm not sure who would be the best comparison for this type of player. Maybe somewhere in between Mahomes and Cam Newton? there are things he can do that no other QB can. if you actively try to coach it out of him, he might not be able to make use of his biggest advantage: his physical gifts. it's kind of a fine line to walk because you want to play to his strengths, but you don't want costly turnovers. In case 1, you would want him coax him out of that sort of thing, whereas in case 2 you would want him to learn what he can get away with and what he can't (i.e. when to make that cross body throw that almost no one else in the league would even attempt) and maybe even help him develop these talents so that he is more efficient using them. how the coaching staff proceeds with him is going to be interesting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Duke Williams remain in a Bills uniform, and I don't think he clears wavers. Duke & Yeldon have to be considered. Everyone claims Ray Ray has improved, but he's still dropping balls.

NickelCity Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I thought our starting offense and defense looked bad. I know we were winning, but that was ugly. Also, I don't think Allen will succeed in a run run pass offense. We gotta throw it more for him to make his mark, if he's going to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
