NOT READY
- jdfitz77


He may not be ready, but they have no alternative.
It would havd been great if he could have sat for a 3rd or so of the season, but thatshippedhas sailed.

From what I saw, he looked alright for his first real start.
Once again, he was under a fair amoung of pressure and hung in there.

The take away from the game for me was the D allowing 28 points in the first half.
I am not expecting anything from the O this season, especially early on...maybe they can find some magic over time.

That's how much of a cluster(frank) the Bills are.

Goff just pulled an Allen, amazing escape, throws a pick. NOT READY.

The little things like holding off throwing to Clay on the goal line, and being a little late throwing will improve with Allen.

The ball going 5 yards over Murphy’s head from 10 feet away will never not be a problem

I know they have a ridiculous amount of dead cap.space, but the lack of talent on the offense is inexcusable. To not add any olinemen or receivers in the draft or free agency is plain stupid. Then to spend the money they did on Vontae, star and Murphy is a ?.

Allen had some misreads and misses today by I thought he was good. I'm thinking/hoping he has it.

My biggest disappointment today was how bad Edmonds looked

Long time reeder/reader, first time chiming in here Mikey. Appreciate your work. Love the lineup so far, esp with the 3C curveball. I hope Bogo plays in all 82+ games, but in case he doesn’t...... who’s our next RHD up? Willie B?


Oooh! A Yinzer! Welcome! (my wife is from Pittsburgh)
Bogo is already getting "maintenance days" in training camp.

There was definitely some encouraging things from today, not the least of which is 245 yards with the "talent" around him, and being under pressure all day. And not once did I see the camera go to him and he was sulking, he was either just chilling on the bench, or trying to pump guys up.

Unfortunately whether he's ready or not is irrelevent. Peterman can not go back in outside of an injury, he just can't.

I didn't see the first half, so I can't really comment, but he ended up with 6 solo tackles to lead(tied with Poyer) the defense.

Whole defense was much better in the 2nd. He was terrible in the first, and I do like him a lot, so I'm being honest, not pulling on him

NFL.com has every Allen pass in a row. Watching it he actually looks decent. Has Big Ben talent to get out of sacks, and that cannon allows him to go through progressions and hit throws he shouldn’t be able to. Missed a couple throws to RBs. The INTs were a result of him doing too much, I don’t blame him, team sucks.

Passed eye test for me first game.

Unfortunately the next video is of Mahomes passing for 6 tds. Don’t hate Allen for that, hate beane.

Beane was in Carolina when that trade was made. Regardless, it’s a far cry to think Mahomes would be anything close to what he is in KC if he played for the Bills.

What’s with the EJ Gaines love fest? He lacks the greatest ability. How many games has he played this year? Typical uninformed football opinion on a hockey based forum.

I don't think Allen will ever master the check down/slant. We're gonna just have to live with that.

It would be nice if we had a Goodwin/Coleman threat to keep the D honest with a deep option.

No idea what they were thinking there

Well will he play any this year? Because Vontae Davis won’t be for the rest of the year

I went to the game and agree.

Allen -machommes
Clay- Kelsey
Calvin - sammy watkins
Receiver 2 - tyric hill
Old shady - hunt

Our o line - good o line
McDermott- Reid

I was pretty excited they signed vonte Davis
Not so much now

It is unclear whether that meant Davis retired in the middle in the game, but that was the impression that Bills defensive players expressed in the locker room.

“I did lose respect for him as a man,” Rafael Bush said in regards to Davis apparently leaving while the game was ongoing. "To quit on your teammates when things aren't going so well in the middle of a game ... that's definitely disrespectful."

"I've never been around anything like that. I've never heard anything like that," Kyle Williams said. "I think the only thing to say is he's where he needs to be right now."

Williams said he did not learn about it until he got back to the locker room after the game. He said he was awaiting more details.

Lorenzo Alexander said he found out at halftime that Davis was not returning to the field.

"Never have seen it ever," he said. "Pop Warner, high school, college, pros. Never heard of it, never seen it. It's just completely disrespectful to his teammates."

I liked his overall game considering the circumstances...it's a tire fire at one bills drive yet allen was able to keep his wits about him...yeah, he's gonna do things like that, and if he never learns from those type mistakes he won't get too far, but there are a lot of things to like about his first game
