0 TDs against a terrible Jets team
That’s inarguably a “red flag” sir

Can’t beat the elite teams with FGs

Still female doging about Allen

Bills have the 5th ranked passing attack in terms of DVOA.

Bottom 5 run DVOA.

It's all on Allen

1- it’s not much dead cap
2- who cares?
If we can add good players we can have here for for YEARS,
then it’s more than worth it to add some “dead cap” for ONLY 1 season

- jdfitz77

Almost 10mill in dead space could really hurt next year, unless I am reading it wrong.

Can't remember who said it, but was said that Allen could be playing with a Cracked Clavicle. Could be why he's throwing more side arm.

If you’re upgrading Murray for a great game Sunday,
why aren’t u downgrading Allen for our 0td on Sunday???
Plus, not great games against good teams the previous 2 weeks

It’s gotta go both ways, right?


Allen has shown the capability to be great,
but not yet the consistency
*especially against good teams

- jdfitz77

Not sure why Buffalo fans expect, or in many cases demand, perfection (or something very close) from their key, star players.

Last three games Allen has been more last year than first four games.

Rookie QB's Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow are leaps and bounds ahead of him as rookies then Allen was the last two years.

He has to get back to the first 4 games. Not sure if the shoulder/arm injury he had against the Raiders has thrown him off or not.

He seems to really miss John Brown in his production

Three games in a row he has regressed from the first 4 games. I'm not looking for perfection I'm looking for where he raised the bar to.

He was 33/46 for 312 yards and 2 TDs in game 1.

Sunday he was 30/43 for 307 yards and a TD called back.

And in game one he was healthy. Hardly a regression.

It counts Allen’s running in the passing game DVOA.

But yes he is a top 10 QB through 8 weeks that’s for certain.

They have to improve on the ground though no doubt.

He is what he is. On the plus side he has exceptional pocket presence, the ability to use his feet, and possesses quite possibly the strongest arm in the league. He also has developed the ability to read defenses and change the play at the line of scrimmage.

On the down side his throws can be erratic and he has a case of fumblitis while his decision-making is questionable at times.

And he's in his third year.

Sure, progress isn't always linear, as someone has stated on this before.

Take this season as a whole, he's thrown for 300+ 5/7 games, and is on pace for 40 TD's. It's almost half the season.

Lamar Jackson was league MVP and threw for 75 yards against KC. I'd say Allen's only bad game was KC. Tennessee he had one bad INT, but overall was 260 yards and 2 TD's

I knew I would get that reply. Numbers don't tell the whole story. Few passes tried downfield, some really bad passes, No TD's this Sunday. The first game wasn't his best one anyway, he did finally break the 300 yd mark so that was good. Fumbled and lost what twice? I mean we are comparing his play against the worst team in the league twice, he was pretty adequate, got the team FG's this week.

If croft didn't pull a Daniel Jones, a perfect play call and spot on throw would have been a td

I think if the running game improves it will help Allen just like it would help any QB.

Red zone penalties also crushed their ability to score TDs. Can't have 2nd and goal from the 22 and whatnot

Saying he’s not “elite” YET is FAR from b!tching
And i never said “it’s all on Allen”
DID I ???
Nope, i sure didn’t.

But you’ll continue to put words in my mouth to fit your narrative.
I’ve also routinely stated we can’t run the ball,
AND criticized our sh!tty defense as well...
But all u focus on is my comments which essentially say Allen isn’t elite yet
Well guess what...
1- he’s not
2- idgaf what u think or say


Why don’t u just ignore my posts?

Don’t worry, I’m sure u can still spend hours talking sh!t about me with Beady all night

- Buff36


And it could really help to get those players & have them year after year after year

Again.... it’s not a lot of dead cap

I’ll take Q.Williams for the next 3+ years,
and deal with the ONE year of dead cap from Butler, Jefferson, whoever

And even if the dead cap set us back for ONE season, I’m ok with that if it gets us players that can help us really become contenders for the Super Bowl

It’s Beady
Don’t expect it to make sense

Just some BS he worked up while he & Sbroads were jerking off to their (not so) clever insults of me last night for hours

They must have met up at that bar in Lockport

We scored only FGs against the worst team in the league
That gets us beat vs almost any other team,
especially the good ones

Maybe I’m the only one that wants to see us WIN
in the PLAYOFFS though??

I am not saying it's a bad thing, but you better be willing to lose Milano and a few others

Getting Q.Williams hardly means we’ll lose Milano & others

There’s plenty of guys we can (and should) cut to make Cap space
