What’s with the red glow? is that from the seats with the hot lights? if so, n big deal going shirtless with a 90 degree light on your back.

Allen and Darnold are best friends and it would be a good move for Darnold to come here and take a step back while backing up his buddy. If we could make the numbers work this would be my hope. Those guys aren’t available in FA. Those guys aren’t available in FA. Those guys aren’t available in FA. Those guys aren’t available in FA. No need to repeat yourself.

If there is and he's gone - it'll be either Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Teddy Bridgewater, Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Ryan Fitzpatrick, or Tyrod Taylor. Off chance of Cam Newton if there's history with McBeane and they (for some unknown reason) think he could still be good in a pinch under them. I thought he was going to go to the Giants with Daboll?

It matters if Allen misses significant time but is able to return. Say Allen goes 8-3 in the games he plays in. If a poor backup we’re to go 1-5 or 2-4 we either would not make the playoffs or sneak in as a low WC with no hope of a home game. Someone that could go 3-3 or 4-2 would put us at 11-6 or 12-5. That’s a big difference. That’s why it’s worth having a capable backup. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I’m not sure why everyone just assumes Mitch won’t be back. It’s not like he had a bunch of games where he showed teams he should be starting. He was a great feeling to have here as a backup but I think we are highly overstating his value across the league. He’s absolutely not getting a starting job somewhere next year. I don’t know why he wouldn’t want to come back here. If he wants to go somewhere to complete for a starting job, off hand there are probably less then 5 teams where that could even be a thought. Most teams have qb situations where they are either sewn up, or are looking to see what their young guys can do. I think the market for him is smaller then perceived. I expect Mitch back.

I wouldn't hate Tyrod solid game manager with plus ability to make plays with his legs. Might want to rehab his value after not getting a decent shot to start the past few seasons due to injury. You could do worse for a backup. I’ve said it 100 times…..Tyrod Taylor is the prototypical backup QB. He won’t win you alot of games with his arm, but he won’t lose you many games either. He doesn’t turn the ball over and has good scrambling ability. Tyrod is a good QB to fill in for 4-5 games and keep a team like ours above water. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since home games don't really seem to matter that much in the playoffs anymore, I don't really think it matters too much where we play.. Cincy made the Super Bowl with only one home game and TB won it as a wildcard last year with no home games.

But he wouldn't return to Buffalo, much less for league minimum, or even close to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your point is correct but we need a cheap backup and I bet Tyrod still gets 8-10 million a year offer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 The Bills are going to be trendsetters…first team to only carry one QB on the roster because Josh is indestructible. That leaves room for an elite holder AND a competent punter! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. The Jaguars game would have made all the difference. I think a Championship caliber team wins those games.... even if they don't have it that day so to speak.
