He was also a walk on in college at Alabama as well. Great story overall

Levi was excellent today too

You must be fun at parties 🙄

It was all my fault. It was my first game in Buffalo ever and the football gods felt it was only appropriate for me to experience some of the pain that all of the local Bills Mafia had to go through for the better part of 20 years. Sorry.

I thought this was yet another stellar performance by Levi. He’s quietly having a great season so far. Week 1 he got too much grief on the TD and PI, especially when he tipped the ball away on the TD and WR just made a sensational play to still catch it and get two feet down. It was excellent coverage by Levi though. And the PI was also excellent coverage and the ball was just poorly thrown making chase come back for it creating the contact. Again his coverage on the play was very good too. But he’s been great otherwise IMHO. Now we haven’t exactly faced a dangerous group of QBs so far, and next will be a big test for not only him but our whole defense. In the meantime, kudos to Levi for his play thus far.

Agreed on Knox, but I think he had one drop in week 1 or 2 if not mistaken. Other than that, he’s been great and made some amazing catches too

For some of us , this was more of the same we have seen from Star as he’s always been quite valuable to our defensive front since he’s been here. Last year was painful not having him.

Calling it now: This thread will be short because Edmunds had a great game and there’s nothing for others to complain about.

And the one that was good, they traded away despite being so young for some reason.

Same, and quite honestly not only is he my favorite Bill of all time (and I was a fan during the SB years), but he is literally my favorite NFL player to watch play the game since Barry Sanders. Even though I was a die hard Bills fan, and still obviously am, I loved watching Barry Sanders play because you knew at any given moment you were going to see something special that only he or few others could do. Thats how I feel about Josh. For example, never have I ever for a second had confidence in any team or player picking up a 3rd and 15, 3rd and 17, 3rd and 20, etc for example...at any level of football. But when we are staring down at 3rd and very long like that, I honestly feel like we are probably going to pick it up and I am almost surprised when we don't. His ability to improvise keeps every play exciting, and I just have so much fun watching him play. Adding into the fact just how amazing he is as a person, teammate, etc and its just impossible not to absolutely love this kid.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The line has been terrible IMO, and Allen has been quite remarkable in how he avoids the pressure, including making guys like Chase Young look silly after he beats our OL to Josh and he somehow senses it and just easily slips right by him with ease.

Sick lineup and can’t wait!!!

Serious question…do intentionally always create terrible takes just stir the pot or do you really believe the stuff you post?

3. Tremaine Edmunds excellent in coverage One of the best coverage assets the Bills had all game against Washington was middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, whose size, instincts and reading of the play forced Heinicke into several precarious moments. Edmunds dissuaded Heinicke several times from his first target because of how much ground the linebacker could make up. Edmunds nearly created one interception with a tipped pass that was called back on a penalty, but he subtly created the Bills’ first interception of the game without anyone knowing. Athleitcs All-22 review of the game. But lets keep saying he sucks and shouldn't have picked up his option. LOL

Fair point, week 1 was mixed reviews, but our offense stalling out did them no favors either. Still the D only gave up 16 points total, but you make a fair point about the 2nd half.

He already looks much faster lol

I think they are hoping he might provide some cheap fire power like AB did for the Bucs last year. He isn’t going to make a huge impact, but if he can keep his head on straight he certainly could be a guy who makes a few big plus for them in the playoffs.

Yeah, wings and service were top notch. But the lack of other appealing menu options was a big negative and then no atmosphere or TV's to enjoy wings and watch the game is what did them in for me. But they did have excellent wings, no complaints at all about those. But I will give the other location a try as you suggested next time in town along with Gabriels Gate and Anchor Bar. I will say the only thing on my trip that was actually disappointing food wise was the Beef on Weck. We didn't get it...it was essentially a plain French Dip or roast beef sandwich, had no special characteristics at all after it had been hyped up so much. And we had it at Bar-Bill which many people told was one of the best. So we didn't bother trying any other spots for it if we thought one of the best was bit blah and boring. I will say I really loved the Bar-Bill Pizza though, we did the trifecta and split it of wings (Josh Allen style), pizza, and the beef on weck and both were like meh on the sandwich. If I am being honest I can think of a number of places here in LA that have a roast beef sandwich or French dip that squash that Beef on Weck we had. But outside of that, we had an amazing food trip. NOTE: Sophia's for breakfast is bomb. Loved that place too, I think it was also on Diners, Dives, and Drive Ins too. They mentioned something about it when we were there. And we loved Toutant too, albeit its a pretty heavy dinner so go hungry lol.

In the original Duffs there is a bar but its right when you walk in and almost like a hostess station more than a bar lol. They sat us in the corner next to it. We wanted to get Anchor Bar in as well, but just ran out of time, but at least we got them at the airport. And for airport food, I was quite pleased even though it was expensive at $14 for 5 wings and a small side of fries. But for the airport it was totally worth it and hit the spot.

Ah, we tried the original location, we will try the other one next trip thought to compare Original we went to after the Bills game and were hoping to watch the night game and were disappointed the lack of TVs

All fair enough, just for me personally I cant understand why with a player like Allen who has shown drastic improvements in all facets each year we would conclude anything yet. Thats just my 2 cents because I think if anyone has proven not to prematurely conclude anything about them, its Josh really. Not being pompous about it, just saying he really is still ascending and his ceiling is as high as it gets really. But I agree with most everything else you said

I respectively disagree. When Kwon got traded he was not considered the same player he was considered we has signed to a FA contract. I am personally supremely confident that Edmunds will have significantly higher trade value than either Kwon did or Schobert. Edmunds is built in a way that DC's dream of, and with his young age and 2 Pro Bowls in his first 3 years, he will have a significantly higher trade value and I do really think he gets a 2nd right now if Beane were to look to trade him. In a passing league, have a guy his size who can defend the pass and roam side line to side line is something that is coveted and not easily found. And with young he was he entered the league, and how raw he was...they will see him as someone who may not even reached his potential yet. And I would counter argue why you don't see a market is because you don't see someone like him traded very often because most teams hold onto them until they are resigned or leave in FA. But you do see teams trade up in drafts giving up 2nd round picks, further first round picks, multiple draft picks etc to land LB's they covet. And yes I get in those draft trade ups they get the LB on a rookie deal for 4 to 5 years where Edmunds will be do a new contract a year later, but I am just pointing out that trades with high value draft picks have happened this way proving there is a trade market. So for me, the trade value is there for Edmunds IMHO if Beane were to look to make the trade today. Like I said earlier, by seasons end that could change if he battles injuries again, his play lags, or both...but today, I am quite confident he would have multiple suitors where he could get at least a 2nd for him.

As a frist timer to Buffalo week 1...I tried 4 places...and I have a verdict of who my favorite was and will rank them. The 4 I tried are Bar-Bill, Duffs, Elmo's, and Anchor Bar. My rank, and admittedly, the votes are all close in terms of just the wings, it wasn't like one of these was terrible or anything, just my order of preference on where I will revisit on the next trips while also mixing in some new ones. Elmo's - I gave them the nod over Bar-Bill as I like a little more sauce on them then I got from Bar-Bill, plus I like the addition of the grilled wings too. Bar-Bill - I would go here over anyone on the list first simply because I think they have a better menu overall and really liked their pizza too. But on wings alone, I felt ours were a tad dryer than I prefer. I don't want them sloppy messy, but our batch was a bit too light on sauce in my only trip here. But food overall was still very good. Duff's - Very good wings, but as a place to eat in general this place sucks lol. Not what I expected, menu just isn't any good outside wings and they don't even have any TV's despite looking like a total dive bar. I can't imagine I will ever go here again even though the wings were good. Too many other places with really good wings too and better menu and atmosphere. For clarification, we went to the original location. Again, we did really like the wings, but thats all they have to offer, so was quite underwhelmed with the place overall as a result. Anchor Bar - Admittedly, this isnt a fair comparison considering we ate the location in the airport. But I have to say the wings were surprisingly still quite good, just not quite as meaty as the other places which is the only reason they came in at 4. Again, from a wings perspective, all of these places had wings we quite enjoyed. Next trip, giving Anchor Bar a legit try by hitting one of their real locations and also Gabriel's Gate are 2 we intend to hit.

I dont have an issue with calling designed runs, its the designed runs that Daboll specifically calls that are terrible and never net us more than 3 or 4 yards while Josh takes big hits and is a fumble risk. It is the RPO or designed run where Josh immediately goes right up the middle before the LB's or anyone has cleared out in coverage. I think designed runs are smart and should be part of the game plan because Allen is quite dangerous with his legs...but Allen isn't Lamar or Murray, the best designed runs for Allen are the ones that at least give the illusion of a pass by letting Allen either roll out or first drop back then take off once our receivers have cleared some space underneath. Allen is an open space threat, he isn't the guy you want to run into the teeth of the defense unless its down and 1 or down and 2 and you want him to sneak it where he has like a 99% conversion rate over his career. But for some odd reason, Daboll is calling runs like Allen is a full time RB or FB out there, and given Allens fumbling issues at times, thats a risky call given he is going to take some hits, not to mention adding to injury risk with those up the middle draws. So I don't disagree with you about using his talents like his legs as an additional weapon, I just disagree with Daboll on the specific run plays he keeps calling up the middle that never gain us much and force Allen to take a bunch of unnecessary hits.

Yeah, and honestly if there is a LB they see in the draft they could land that they covet, it might influence their decision on Edmunds, especially if Edmunds play hasn't convinced them they must keep him.
