Here, a running account of stats, opinions, hysteria, etc. 9/8, Game 1: Bills 17 - Jets 16 Passing: 24/37, 254 yds, 1 TD Rushing: 10/38 1 TD Turnovers: 2 INT, 2 lost fumbles It was ugly, but they scored the final 17 points and overcame a large deficit (16 pts) in the 2nd half. This could be a typical Allen game - tough in the pocket, medium range ropes, and frantic intercepts and fumbles due to lack of composure and poor decision making when under pressure.

I’m watching this game, and Allen sucks. Keep throwing sidearm and blame others for batted balls... Bills fans haha

In Southern California. 15 years old. My grandma was visiting and I left the family room at halftime to watch the rest of the game in my bedroom on my new tv. Kenneth davis up the middle for the first td....I knew... It was too easy. Felt like Buffalo could run up and down the field after that score. All it took was a spark given all involved - go for broke attitude, sarcastic cheer from the crowd, history of that decade, and I’m not kidding... Van was such a positive voice; he sounded like it was in the bag. Believe me or not, I knew...

I believe that #95 will be dressed as a Scottish warrior from Braveheart for the Pro Bowl. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Stability will be accessed when they sign that big time, big personality diva superstar WR and/or RB. They’re out there to get and the Bills should do it now. Expect a cry-baby, but an excellent talent. IF McCoy is willing to make that superstar feel at home, that could really help. We’ll see if this current Bills organizational staff can handle that hot mess.

Watch him block too. Team guy

The punter looks like a Halloween character from Boogie Nights

Fantastic. The tank is on. That was an intention fake fg by the holder.

Smart football here

What do you like about Charles..? That’s some weird evidence you give in support of how you feel about Clay.

All era’s involved are over. It’s like like asking for the Road to El Doraldo. Somebody speak up!

A new stadium should represent the city, not the NFL. If or when the Bills finally do the thing, I hope it’s cozy.

To the OP - Yes, too many penalties will turn me off real quickly. It’s already an unwatchable game. The last 5 mins of a game is ‘okay’; the last 5 of an important game or the playoffs are very good; but my god...a 3.5 hr regular season Bills game at Cincinnati is dreadfully slow, and just not entertaining. Commercials are ruining the game to a tipping point, and I’m getting sick just thinking about more time delays and constant replays and talking heads discussing helmet penalties. I think the NFL and TV broadcasts honestly believe that we fans like that crap. We don’t! The “situational” sports edipemdic (6 time-outs in the NBA; specialist relievers in MLB) is nauseating. The NHL still does it right.

This camera coverage blows. I want to see every one of Allen’s throws, and I don’t even think the production teams knows who he is and what he’s about.

Oh my god. Dilfer. And that other guys. What else are they going to say? They do a better job with Allen than the guys who lead American Pharoah to the mares’ stall.

I couldn’t believe he’s 6’4” when I looked it up. He plays like he’s 6’0”.

Back then the Bills won home games, division games, and games against the NFC. They always seem to lose to good teams from outside the AFCE. I remember a 33-6 Monday night mess at KC. But yes, OP, the Bills should have won SBXXV 27-17. That team could’ve have won each one of those Super Bowls. Had the 1991 Super Bowl been Bills vs 49ers, woulda been the best game of the 90s.

Miami, Arizona, and Buffalo make a push for Cleveland's #4 pick...and draft Rosen. That's the race.

This draft will prove they either know what they’re doing or they don’t...if they believe in themselves or if they’re taking risks to hit it big and keep their careers.

Oh, it matters

I see where you’re coming..I’m sure a dome is better for the city economically. But frankly, I don’t give a damn. I’m a Bills fan and I’m on a Bills forum. The city of Buffalo can burn to the ground for all I care. Just as long as the team wins. And I believe an open air stadium IS Buffalo Bills football. Yes, those teams in the 90s won playoff games in Miami and Pittsburgh; but you can’t tell me that the weather, or at least its mystique, didn’t add to their lengendary home field advantage in those years. But what the hell do we know.. let’s get some quotes from former visiting players and see what they have to say! And, we can just ask ourselves: If you were playing for the Chargers, would you rather play a playoff game in Buffalo indoors or outdoors?

You’re right! It’s going to change everything! Of course the Super Bowl will come to Buffalo if only it had a dome. Know who you are. The Bills play in the snow. They always should.

It better be open. What exactly is happening in a dome that can’t happen at an arena...in Buffalo? Is selling your soul worth that price??? Retractable?! Why...? Who’s seen a team open up the roof when there’s a snow storm?? I have a lot of questions..

Allen is destined to be the most talented QB in the league. He’ll suck if he throws an uncatchable ball...because he’s throw it too hard. Have you ever seen a case where a QB is unsuccessful in the NFL because his arm is too strong? Me neither. I’m not talking about accuracy issues, just velocity. It’s not going to happen. His receivers will adjust and learn to get their hands up quicker...ifhe keeps hitting them in the chest and helmet. Defensive backs will never adjust to his arm strength. Allen will be worth the farm.

We don't know if the Bills would have drafted any of those players. We DO know what Bennett did for the Bills. Even though Buffalo didn't win a Super Bowl back then, I have a tough time second guessing how that team was built.
