The statement is the Bills are all business and won’t take anything lightly. He learns from his mistakes. But he also trusts his assistants. Pretty sure those kill shots were on Daboll. (But McClappy let him keep those plays in the playbook.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Barkley career stats 212-363 2699 yds 11td 22 int in 19 games. These are the stats of a terrible qb Matt Barkley Bills stats 53-97 788 yds 3td 4int in 8 games. Piss poor despite the bomb he connected on today. Anyone trust this guy to lead us to playoff victory? Didn't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a bunch of better positional players who serve as backup QBs in the league, but there's no one at that position who can help (and has helped) Josh Allen be and get "right" more than Barkley. In that light, his value to the team is tremendous. Besides, if the Bills were to play without Allen (knock on wood), they aren't doing much anyway. I would be open to the Bills having someone at QB2 who has more to offer, but I think that doesn't happen until after next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With no elite defenses this year, any team that loses their starting QB is screwed, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carpandean 428 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 (edited) I'd take Taysom Hill for a backup QB. Not because he's a starter-quality backup (he's decent), but because of everything else he could bring when Josh is still in the lineup. One of my favorite players in the league. (Note: Not saying he would be available. Just dreaming.) Edited January 4 by carpandean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's something to be said for finding a backup who can do some of what Allen does (i.e., a big-bodied guy who can move and run). The team doesn't seem set on that, though. Barkley backs up Allen, and the plan seems to be (or to have been) for Fromm to serve as the eventual backup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to say it but would bringing in Tyrod Taylor as the backup next season make sense? He knows the system, is mobile and we know he can lead a team to the playoffs. He’d also be an interesting asset to bring in on wildcat and other formations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That Aud Smell 1,286 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 My sense was (is) that McBeane did (do) not believe in Tyrod. So, no way they'd bring him back. 1 hour ago, LGR4GM said: I don't think Fromm has the arm. I think they need to see the guy in live-action before writing him off as incapable of serving as a QB2.

That Aud Smell 1,286 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Just now, JujuFish said: I'll be surprised if we don't have a new OC next year. Chargers just separated Anthony Lynn. They also have a GM who attended the same high school as Daboll (St. Francis) and a young QB with big upside. The only reason Daboll's not a HC next season is because he doesn't want to be. That said, I would expect the Bills to strive for continuity with Daboll's system by promoting a positional coach (QB, WR, OL). What will be a huge loss, I think, is Daboll's planning and play calling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marions Piazza 164 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 16 hours ago, drnkirishone said: that was the only reason i thought getting 2nd was important. I don't want to face Henry. He is a bad matchup for the Bills D in his last two games against the Bills, Henry has only averaged 66 rush yards. The defense is much better and healthy and playing top 10 defensive ball now. The Bills can shred the Titans defense and can limit Titans rushing attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the confidence, but I agree with the sentiment that proficient run heavy teams have the potential to be bad matchups for the Bills. I heard the Ravens had the ball for 40 minutes in week 16 or 17 - that’s a (dull) recipe for success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I do agree that we aren't as good against the run, but I think our offense getting us up early forcing Titans/Ravens to pass more will be helpful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
That Aud Smell 1,286 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Also, I have grown to enjoy the Bills’ apparent approach on defence: Giving up chunk runs between the 20s and surrendering field goals are okay - because Allen & Co. will eventually force the other team out of that plan.

LGR4GM 5,000 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I worry about the colts in general to be honest. The Browns would be a better opponent as they are a worse team. Colts have a run game and have a decent defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
