Allen is basically getting Cam'd right now. The entire offense is falling on him and listen, he's one helluva talented QB but when it comes to carrying an offense single handedly he's not prime Cam Newton. I haven't seen anyone at the NFL level that is. That roster had been spiraling downward for several years now and they just scapegoats McD when honestly Beane seems to be the guy who's fuging it up.

I don't think Bryce has turned any sort of corner. I honestly don't think he has a corner to turn. He's always going to be very physically limited with a low ceiling as an NFL starting QB.

Not sure if he has inside knowledge or if he's just stating the obvious.

Maybe, but we now have two consecutive seasons where he has regressed from his outstanding rookie season and the last two games have been disastrous. He has the talent but he absolutely has to adapt. Seems like he's struggling to adapt to NFL DCs getting film on him to study and his confidence has to really be floundering right now. Next season is big for him.

Not a big fan of spending huge money on players on the wrong side of 30.

it's not ebbs and flows, it's a clear downward trend

As they should. He was truly abysmal yesterday and didn't really give them a chance to compete.

Hindsight being 20/20, we just went all in on the wrong QB class. We would've been far better off investing all those assets we spent elsewhere.

Points allowed ranking over the past 4 years: 2nd, 4th, 11th, 12th Over the past two seasons, they've basically slid to an upper middle of the pack defense while their offense has trended more and more toward the "save me Superman QB" stuff we did with Cam. Their overall roster has absolutely been trending downward.

Yeah, there are some good ones available but they wouldn't want to come here. It would've been a repeat of the same situation that led to us hiring Canales which is basically that Tepper's wish list has to start where everyone else's ends. Too much meddling and I don't think any HC is signing up eith the perception of being tied to Bryce Young at QB.

Yeah, I think the Bills picked the wrong scapegoat here. That overall roster has been trending downward for awhile now.

So, Williams saw what DJ was doing, DJ continued to do that and he was hoping he could redirect him with the throw. The risk/reward was just heavily skewed toward risk given that scenario. Williams got greedy and with his gunslinger mentality that might always be part of his DNA. Those years in college playing with trash tier D didn't help him develop in that regard. Back in college, he knew he pretty much always had to take the risk because his D was probably gonna give up a ton of points.

Pats (Maye) Rams Seahawks Broncos (Sean Payton)

If you want to say DJ ran a lazy route, fine. But that throw was garbage. There was a window just outside the hash marks but that ball was thrown damn near to the sideline. I don't know what route DJ was supposed to run but if you're Ben Johnson you also have to know your QB in this situation. Williams is a gunslinger at heart and any points on this drive wins you the game. You gotta protect him from himself and be methodical. Draw up a deep shot and he's probably gonna uncork that thing whether it's there or not. There's also the reality that DJ might have been concussed. He took a hard hit on the sidelines earlier and spent several minutes in the tent and just never looked the same in that game after that. I put some blame all the way around on this one. DJ didn't run the greatest route and seemed to not be expecting the ball. Williams threw a bad ball and took an unwise risk at that point in the game. And Johnson set himself up to get shot in his own foot by his gunslinger.

The Thicker Kicker gets it done! LOL
