I think there are some of us that - while clearly not himself - Josh is still engineering an offense still putting up 30-ish points a game in an offseason rut. I mean, that’s plenty to win in the NFL. After the weekend, will be interesting to see what our scoring offense is per game since the bye (when Josh started scuffling a bit in the second half of the Pack game) or even since the Viking game (post elbow injury). I suspect we are top 3 or 5 across either timeframe. So, while the eye test says “Josh/offense isn’t clicking on all cylinders”, the results still say “elite”.

How can you say that? They were only down their two best offensive lineman (Morse and Dawkins) and Spencer Brown hasn’t looked right since he returned from his injury. But still… Ok, two things - 1) why can we not RB/TE screen. We are a passing team, d-line’s are pinning their ears back, and we are down o-linemen. Why not use their aggression against them, 2) when we are so unsettled on the o-line, why not move the pocket for Josh? He looked like he did not trust the patchwork line and wanted to be on the run to make throws or run for much of the game. Why not move the pocket to take advantage of all this? Anyway…

I feel like social media has taught people that venting their most base human emotions on the internet is acceptable. It’s the only explanation I have for the fact that fans are more miserable now on this board than what I saw during the Fitzpatrick/Gailey era. Not really close. It’s weird. They win and people are miserable.

Dude is a unicorn. Dude throws a 40 yard dot with a bum elbow and when they need a first down to get the kicker closer for the winner, the run QB power. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like Elway on steroids.

The pileup of injuries is absurd. If someone told me two weeks ago that Mike Love, Bobby Hart, Greg Van Roten, Tanner Gentry, and AJ Klein would have to give us meaningful snaps in the same game on a short week, I’d say that we’d be in serious trouble. Our top 3 pass rushers are now out. We are going to have to grind out some wins in sloppy games. It’s just where this roster is right now.

Why does every game have to be a work of art exactly? The wins count the same, and along the way, we get to debunk the “Bills can’t win the one-score games and that clear ‘out-coaching’ will hold them back from the Super Bowl” nonsense.

We have to win every close game and simultaneously win by 30, while never committing a turnover or dropping a pass. I hadn’t realized how far into la la land expectations got. Jesus Christ would get roasted on this board for a 3 and out.

On their way to not figuring out though, I hope they keep dropping 28-30 points a game.

This post demonstrates rational and clinical thinking, if not wisdom and perspective. You will never make it on social media.

I love obscure Buffalo Bills, especially undersized fullbacks. One career touchdown and it was in the playoffs against the Dolphins. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TindTi00.htm

Um, give us Skylar Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater for 60 minutes and I’m guessing we would have found a way…

Well, if it isn’t Mr. ‘This aged well.”

Soak it in, boys. Joshua Patrick Allen, stone cold killer.

That TD throw is a throw that killers make.

Keep coming after them… on both sides of the ball

Josh seems rattled and the MVP is on the other side. HAHAHAHA

Josh looks rattled. Idiots.

so good.

Your reaction made me want to re-read. It’s downright hilarious. Each one was more absurd than the next take. Someone on page 1 said he was going to be a HoFer… I can’t tell if it was sarcasm or a Ruthian called shot.

“I saw a man get beat like no man I ever saw before and the man…kept…coming…after you.” Allen is an assassin.

They had Bruce, but another thing people don’t remember about the 1988-1989 seasons. This was circulating. That 1989 year was one thing after another: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-01-11-sp-260-story.html?_amp=true

That’s not what everyone was saying then. It was the ‘Bickering Bills’ year and people thought Marv lost the locker room, with some players mailing it in in Cleveland. The difference is that there wasn’t social media and 24-7 sports news turning the volume up on 11 in the aftermath like today. What I remember about that game is that Thurman and Kelly were unstoppable, and I kept thinking these guys have to be “The Ones” that take us there. The OP is definitely onto something, in my view. That 1988-1989 journey of learning how to win, learning to be the hunted, learning how to impose your will - feels analogous to the 2020-2021 experience. The Josh Allen I saw the last month looks like another level, a la Kelly around that same timeframe.

Remember how many threads there were pre-2020 about Josh not being a franchise QB, especially after the Houston playoff lost. Prescient.

All the people that waived our linebackers and fired staff at halftime, stand up.

Josh is a beast.
