Why is it that a lot of Bills "Fan's" IQ's drop considerably after 1 loss?  So many of you are out of your near-sighted minds right now.  He had 1 bad half.  Get over yourselves, please.  A bunch of whiney little ***** in here.

 

Didn't you know that the Bills were supposed to go 16-0 and that Allen has to throw for 300+ yards and have a perfect QB rating in EVERY game?

 

Didn't you get the memo?

Sitting here thinking about when Trent Edwards got crushed in Arizona years back and how it basically ruined the kid. We all know Josh has the skill set to be the leader of this team . I just hope this hit doesn’t scare the game out of him like it did to Trent.

 

Trent Edwards stat line on his first game back after the concussion:

 

  • 25-30; 260 yards, 1 TD pass and a QB rating of 114.

Again, he had his best game as a Bill AFTER he came back. It's simply not true no matter how much you want to repeat it. If he was never comfortable in the pocket how could he possibly have his best game ever as a Bill? Better than ANY game he had before the injury.

 

It's a complete myth.

 

He was still concussed and unable to feel fear? ?

IMO (and I know a lot don't agree) that is complete urban legend.  Edwards arguably had his best game his first game back from that injury.  Defenses figured out some things to do against him and Edwards had no answer.  He was never destined for greatness and his failure would have occurred with our without that concussion.    Look around the NFL, guys get concussions all the time, how many of them never return to the form they had before?

I already know everything you wrote.

 

How Brady did is irrelevant to the Allen question.

 

If Allen's terrible play doesn't concern you, fine by me.  Live in denial.

So what's your answer then, keep complaining about? Allen isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Except his best game as a Bill came the game he came back from the concussion.

 

Why does this keep getting repeated? He wasn't shell shocked, he got figured out.

 

Sensationalism......he was viciously hit and never became a franchise qb so it HAD to have been the cause!

Yeah I love complaining, how about you?

 

What do you mean what is my answer?  Have to wait and see if he develops, is that a mystery to you?  Allen was always considering a project regardless.  Like getting hurt last yer when he came back was much better in round 2.  Assuming he take time off due to the concussion and watch.

Brady is figured out, he still performs.  Same with with any other Qb. 

 

It is measure/countermeasure.  Some QB's are able to adapt when defenses take away things they do well and do something else equally well.  Some QB's are more talented than others and have a comprehensive game that is harder to defend than a player than can only do a few things.  Others can do some things well but not all things, they "get figured out" and ultimately fail, like Edwards.

Except it's not.

 

Also, for what it's worth, Edwards really never looked to have the killer instinct Josh possesses.

 

 

What gave that away?  Him running out of bounds at the opponents 40 yard line on 4th down instead of trying to throw it up for grabs downfield in a one score game late in the 4th quarter? Can't take a chance of turning the ball over...

McCoy's running style and decline is what got him released. Nothing else to see here.

 

A healthy Singletary is critical to this being a run-heavy offense (Captain Obvious here). With that said, if they have all 3 backs healthy, they have more than enough to be a very strong run team. Plus this strategy will be much more effective for a team that is transitioning a whole new starting OL.

 

McCoy has 214 yards on 40 carries (5.4 avg), 12 carries for first downs, and 2 TDs.  He's also caught 9 passes out of 11 targets for 71 yards (7.9 avg) for 3 first downs and 1 TD.  He has 0 fumbles.  That projects to be about 850 yards on the ground plus another 280 yards via passing, and he's not even the feature back on a passing team.

 

I'm not a fan of playing money ball, especially on the offensive side.   You can't have too much talent on offense in the modern NFL in order to be successful as the Pats, Chiefs, Saints, Rams, and Eagles have repeatedly demonstrated.   Surrounding a top QB prospect/veteran with second stringers and JAGs hasn't proven to be a particularly successful formula for building consistent playoff contenders in this century.

McCoy wasn't a fit here with his running style. That's why he is gone. 

 

Gore and Singletary attack the LOS much better than Shady ever will.

 

Shady is gone and in KC now, so no need to bring him up cause he ain't coming back to this team.
