Let's break this down. In a (give or take) 200-page thread on the BBMB, where @jrober38 opined that Jay Cutler was better than any of the Bills' QBs and that they should trade a bunch of picks to bring Cutler into the fold. In a multiple-dozen thread, or three, about trading all of the Bills' picks for Jameis Winston, again on the BBMB. In a thread here, how many years ago, about trading all of the Bills' picks for... Carson Wentz. Does Wentz seem so blue chip these days? He does not. It's not that one has a point of view. It's that's one is a crusader. For the longest time, in my last run here, I had thought that jeffismagic and @jrober38 were the same person. Then I realized that they were different people. Holy *****. How can two #######s have this obsession with ruining a message board in exactly the same way. It's not that they have differing opinions from me. It's that, even if I ignore the heck out of them, the message board is ruined because they reply to everything With the @jeffismagic rule, @jrober38 should be banned. And when he returns as spursfan, he should be banned again, and with extreme prejudice. I am for banning any Spurs fans from anything, believe me. But @jrober38 is as entitled to have a view on the Bills QB situation as anyone. Whether he normally gets it right or wrong.

At this point, and especially yesterday, Allen isn't a competent NFL QB. The NFL isn't a pickup game in street in front of your house, but that seems to be what Allen keeps trying to play. It is incomprehensible to me that you'd take Dalton, Cousins or Flacco over Allen right now. Talk about recency bias. Would you have made this insane claim after the Giants game? No chance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh contributed to some of those mistakes, but he also led us down the field and got us a TD to be in position to win this game and we were driving before he got knocked out of the game. I do find it funny people are over reacting to Josh after he just played the defending champs, the single greatest defensive mind in history by a WIDE margin, a top defense, and with a personnel group that consists of 9 new players playing in only their 4th game together. Not to mention, he is a 2nd year QB who has not even played a full season of starts yet. Most importantly, Daboll was VERY bad this week and something that has me concerned as he has been wildly inconsistent. I have been a supporter of Daboll, but I am MUCH more concerned about him than Josh right now. He just is not helping Josh out and we don't have the receivers to run what Daboll wants to keep doing all the time. All first half I was screaming to get both Knox and Yeldon involved to give Josh some chances at easier throws and get some rhythm. They finally did that in the 2nd half and drove the field for a TD. Not rocket science. For example: On a key 3rd down play, we went EMPTY backfield with 4 receivers and a TE. HOWEVER, on the left side there were TWO receivers...who do you think they were? Freaking DiMarco and Gore! WTF Daboll!!!! And it wasn't like they started in the backfield and motioned over, thats where they originally lined up. How the **** does it makes sense on a CLEAR passing play to put DiMarco and Gore out wide as his ONLY 2 receiving targets on the left side of the field? It needs to be guys whose primary job is running routes and catching passes, worse yet, why not use YELDON out there for that who is by far the best receiving back on the team? You got 4 players lined up as a Wide Receiver, it should consist of some combination of Brown, Cole, Zay, McKenzie, Roberts, Knox, Sweeney, and even Yeldon. Utterly stupid. We all said BEFORE the ball is snapped, no way we convert this the moment we saw the formation...shocker we did not. There were so many dumb things like this out there that made no sense that I think Daboll is trying to be too cute and complicated at times for his own good. Put your best route runners and hands out there on a passing play on 3rd down, not DiMarco and Gore out wide as Wide Receivers. Yes, Josh made some mistakes and tried to do too much and trusted his arm too much that lead to bad mechanics and ill advised throws. But he also isn't being put into great situation either with some of the personnel, schemes, and play calling during the game and his receivers struggled a lot to get open and give Allen early and easy targets frequently. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All at 23 years old with 15 games experience. Again, lets watch the whole season. Not get crazy after a bad game against what could be NFLs best defense. 1ST in INTS.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Jared Goff threw for almost 4700 yards 32 TDs last year. He improved drastically from years 1-2-3 etc. Against the strong bears defense he was 20-44 for 180 with 4 picks and 3 sacks. In the super bowl against NE he was 19-38 for 229 a pick and 4 sacks. Good defenses will force young QBs into mistakes. The patriots have a good defense this year - they're fast at LB, have a solid pass rush, and a good secondary. And a HOF coach who leads that defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my son before the game and all through that first half that they needed tp go to the tight ends, particularly Knox, and Yeldon out of the backfield. It would have been a completely different game. On the bright side - what yesterday's game showed me is that this team doesn't even have to come close to playing perfect football to beat the Patriots. Offensively, they need to play better than they did, with fewer mistakes; however, with all the mistakes they made, the bad plays, and the bad play calling, they still could have won that game. I also believe they just might have done so if Allen could have finished the game. A long way to go, but I like where this team is headed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd down call on that 4 down series by the goalline was awful. Made no sense.

On the first 2 picks Allen had wide open receivers and he looked right at them. He just got greedy and went for the "wow throw" kill shot. In time they can coach that out of him. You worry when your guy isn't seeing the right play, on both picks Josh saw the underneath guy open, he just went for the home run. He's the anti-Trent Edwards.

Rob's House Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm not worried about the INTs this early in his career. That's often part of the learning curve. I am somewhat concerned about the area code accuracy on his deep balls and his tendency to Rob Johnson the ball and take sacks in the worst possible situations. But his clutch gene and physical dominance keep me hanging on. No need to make a determination right now. By season's end we should have a pretty good idea of what we have. In the meantime, I'm going to try to enjoy the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrider Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Brady's completion % in the game ended up same as Allen's. And it was Brady who threw the endzone int. Also Brady was not sacked at all and got lucky on 2 throws that should have been called grounding. Biggest difference is Brady threw some passes away whereas Josh tried to force them in. Allen did have a bad game, and if he had a great game Bills likely would have won. I think though it would have still taken more than if Allen had just shown up and made a few passes and handed the ball off. I think the last QB to have a great game against the Patriots was the middle of last year. Whats really amazing is how so many Bills fans seem to think Allen should come out every game and play great every quarter he's on the field. Which seems odd considering they haven't really had many if any good QB's in last 20 years or so and Bills receiving corp is still considered to be in the lower 1/3 of the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t sit him on the bench unless he truly is unable to play due to the concussion protocol. The Bills needs to see Allen in as many game situations as possible this year.

Also when you factor in his first 3 up and down games of the season against inferior team - yes I’m concerned. Not sure if he ever will overcome these negative tendencies. He hasn’t show this ability over the first 16 games Brady was staked an early 13-0 lead and the Pats ran the clock out conservatively (after the INT) to a nice comfortable road victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we watch the same game? The online is better than last year, but still struggling at times... And anyone that's giving up on a QB 4 games into his second season needs some perspective on achieving results. Rome was not build in a day, kids. How do you explain the success of a player like Daniel Jones? In just a few starts, he is elevating the entire offense. How much time should we give Allen? 5 years? 6 years? If he’s any good we should see progress soon. And “progress” was not what we saw yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 58 minutes ago, Juice_32 said: This is honestly why I'm not worried though. On the first 2 picks Allen had wide open receivers and he looked right at them. He just got greedy and went for the "wow throw" kill shot. In time they can coach that out of him. You worry when your guy isn't seeing the right play, on both picks Josh saw the underneath guy open, he just went for the home run. He's the anti-Trent Edwards. Give me Allen all day over a guy you have to beg to take chances. Josh just seemed overwhelmed yesterday, and probably felt extremely obligated to carry this team. The Patriots defense also had a say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's equally as bad to keep playing him when he's not breaking those bad habits. The concussion thing might be just what we needed. Let Josh sit this week and the bye. Then bring him back for the Dolphins, a good confidence booster. Unless you’re a fan of QB purgatory, that’s a terrible idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And “progress” was not what we saw yesterday 2 starts. Replacing Eli who was completely 1 dimensional, and barely had that dimension left. And teams have no film on Jones. Jones isnt playing crazy, lights out QB. He's just a youth injection that his team is rallying around. Once DCs get tape on him, he'll come back down to Earth. Just like Mayfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 No, he has at the least all of this season, people are forgetting that Like it or not, Josh started his pro career well behind in correct coaching techniques, hence, a raw recruit, everyone has said this, like it or not, he is still lagging in this fashion. Josh is trying to make up for lost time while playing pro ball. Maybe getting his azs handed to him, and getting knocked out, will cause him to realize he ain’t all that yet, and needs to buckle down all the more. I think he can grow from this azs kicking, and make solid changes to his play. Have faith Bills brethren. Go Bills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t show this ability over the first 16 games Your justification of your agenda is flat out insane...... They are NFL teams......they have losing records because WE GAVE THEM A LOSS....you have absolutely no idea how teams like say..the bengals are going to end up doing this year. Also...this stupid remarks about not progressing....I have seen PLENTY of plays this year where Josh has thrown a ball away......or worked his short game....or stayed in the pocket intead of running (sometimes to his detriment) this year to say that he is not progressing......ENOUGH OF THAT He had a bad game where he through 3 picks......he has put the ball on the ground in the first 4 games...he has also WON those games........ Just stupid...and right after a loss being 3 and 1 which make sit EVEN MORE STUPID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
