Lol I like the idea of joint practices. The Bills have conducted them with Cleveland in the past but that's inappropriate this year (Cleveland is on the schedule). And they're going to be down there anyway for the second preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 The local paper has a prominent headline posted online about Allen's solid performance during the 3rd down drills at today's camp. I think this may be about where I get off the bus. It's too much. Admittedly, I was guilty of feeding into this earlier this year when Allen had good reports out of OTAs, and I was all "YASS, KING." It must be that it's late July. I don't want real-time updates on my local football team's QB at this point in time. I just don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom webster Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I can really understand the skepticism but they really are building something special at One Bill’s Drive. Obviously depends on if Allen can become a force. This team should be as likeable as they come and I think pretty talented and deep to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I find the continual "Buffalo weather" and "blue collar" tropes that McDermott spews every other word to be nauseating, and I continue to be terrified he's living in pre-2000 football. But to each their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I put little stock in what they say publicly. You give me well read, secure guys and I’m betting on them. McD and Beane surround themselves with smart people, and my opinion is that they are smart enough to be open to anything that helps them win.

I don't have high hopes, but yes, it would be fan-freakin'-tastic to have a legit QB again. Lots of holes appear to have been filled this offseason, so while we may not be superstar-laden, we will hopefully have few weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Know what the best thing about this coming Bills season is? .... No expectations. The Bills had a great off-season. Depth on the O line including an all-pro caliber center. New and improved targets at TE and WRs. Add some maturity at the QB coupled with a steady D and the Bills have everything they need to have a good season. Now the question is can they put it together? If they do 11-5 is possible. If not 7-9 or 8-8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put stock in what they say publicly in the grand scheme of things, but I do think it's part of team likeability. Granted, a lot of fans eat up that kind of talk, but I think it's both an appeal to the lowest common denominator and not really representative of where Buffalo is (and has been) moving as a city. More importantly, their actions have matched their words with respect to team building. The way they built the team is very old school, and if it works nobody will care, but it's definitely not the way I wanted to see the team built.

I understand your concerns but I think they built it based on what they inherited. They knew they could fix the defense fast and they wanted the offense to grow together. Plus, they still have a ton of cap room next year. No doubt, at their core they are old school. But you could say that about Belichek and a slew of other coaches. It comes down to a willingness to learn and an ability to absorb information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a QB looks lost and awful during training camp and/or preseason action, that’s significant. I understand your point about apparent competence during camp or preseason action. Hell, we all saw Peterman look good this time of year in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
