About freaking time too... How bad do ya need to suck before the axe falls. 6-10, 4-12, 3-7 What gets me is the Lions actually weren't that bad under Jim Caldwell 11-5 his first season in 2014, then 7-9, 9-7, 9-7. Jim Schwartz even made the playoffs in 2011 at 10-6. To me it starts at the top with the GM / HC and then the assistant coaches. Both Quinn and Patricia stunk.

Same and even then that broadcast team stinks so bad. Its like they pulled schmos off the street to take about the game.

Or the fact that right after they drafted Sammy Watkins @#4 overall they were stating "we are still looking for that big, tall red zone target". Drafted @ #7 Mike Evans says hello...6''5'' 231lbs.

I think the article is a bunch of hooey. Terry Pegula loves his hockey and for the NFL he was a Detroit lions fan. Bigger hockey fan. So, I kind of doubt he even watched much college football to make decision on which QB was the best in the 2017 NFL draft. The Chicago Bears certainly didn't know. No QB prior to Mahomes had come from an "air raid" college scheme and had success in the NFL. Look at the 2017 pre draft rankings by ESPN, Watson #28, Trubisky #42, Mahomes #52. DeShone Kizer #53. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/story/_/id/19180310/ranking-top-100-prospects-available-2017-nfl-draft-espn-nfl-nation-reporter-jeff-legwold If the Bills had drafted Mahomes in 2017, who would have developed him...Rick Dennison? Would Kelvin Benjamin have worked out? Hooey! Just my 2 cents.

Amen!

I can see him going to Indy next season. Then again, Washington, Atlanta, Jacksonville, New England, Detroit and even Dallas might all be in the hunt for a new starting QB. I can't Imagine any QB the Jets drafting after Darnold being successful. They didn't give him an O line, no receivers, no run game and expect him to carry the offense. I love Fitz, but he is simply too hot and cold at times...and too old now. I also think that the guy is so gutsy that he plays very hurt and causes his own issues.

Good stuff!

There is one so called draft expert poster here that rated Allen a third round pick because of his accuracy issues. So many Bills fans here were on the Josh Rosen bandwagon before the draft and quite frankly many were "astonished" when the Bills selected Allen with that #7. In fact, the days leading up to that 2018 draft so many fans here were saying we should trade "the farm" to the NY Giants in order to move up to #2 to draft Rosen. One of our heralded mega posters stated he was "gut punched" by the Allen selection. So many Bills fans here likened Allen to Kyle Boller and stated he will never be any good because nobody fixes their completion percentage! Some of us here put up numerous instances of players fixing their completion percentage and so many here saying, nope a bum forever. Even after his first NFL season with all the issues to the Buffalo offense so many Bills fans here were still complaining the Bills made the wrong choice. Thankfully, the Buffalo FO built a solid team around Josh so he could develop properly. Some of the very best receivers in the NFL in Diggs, Beasley, Brown. Most all Bills fans now see that tremendous heart, drive to win instilled in Josh Allen and have come to love him. Also, for his blue collar work ethic. No other QB drafted in the last five years even compares to Allen as a Buffalo Bill IMHO. Not Mahomes, not Watson, not Murray, not Prescott. Allen is the perfect QB for the Buffalo Bills. Also, thankfully, the Bills FO in Beane, McD saw the talent in Allen ahead of those other NFL teams in 2018 and drafted the right guy. P.S. I have been wrong too, and that is with Bills OC Brian Daboll. Although, I'm still not entirely sold on his game planning, play calling at times. Plus, the Bills run game should be more of a priority going into the cold weather and at times its like Buffalo only uses it as a diversion at times. That with the QB the leading rusher in several games this season. Besides Allen running, the Bills only called 11 RB runs against Arizona. Allen with 49 passing attempts. The offense should be much more balanced. Nonetheless, there is no denying Allen has developed into that so much sought after franchise QB that this team has been looking for since Jim Kelly and the 90's. Daboll has hand a hand in that.

Just a thought here, Jim Kelly opted for the USFL because of the past history of the Bills owner reluctance to pay players. Tom Cousineau anyone? The difference came down to like 10k. That, and the fact that the then current GM Stew Barber set up a dinner for the player and agent and then never showed up, no call, nothing. Later on when Bill Polian got working to bring in Kelly to Buffalo after the USFL fell, several owners were after Jim Kelly. He signed in Buffalo because they made him the highest paid QB in the league. As far as Josh Allen goes... I could be wrong, but my take is money is not the most important thing to this young man. He wants to win and as long as the GM keeps building the offense for the Bills to win I see Allen being happy in Buffalo. This. After that, whatever it takes.

The Chiefs, certainly seem to have the Ravens number. Week 3, 2020. Lamar Jackson 15 of 28 for 97 yards, 1 TD, 4 sacks. rating 73.1 Meanwhile, Mahomes against that Ravens defense #1 in points allowed, #8 in yards allowed 31 of 42 for 385 yards, 4 TDs, 133.5 rate. The Chiefs beat the Ravens last season too. The Titans used the Bills defensive scheme to beat the Ravens in the playoffs last season 28-12. On another note, Darn good thing the Bills found their run game against New England on that cold and rainy, windy day. Winter is coming!

One dimensional offenses usually are. Make the QB stay in the pocket and throw...Cam Newton's downfall. Josh Allen, with that arm of his, no spot on the field is safe in front of him. If he ever gets that deep arc bomb of Russell Wilson's down...good lord!

Interesting note, the 2020 Ravens offense is 31st in passing attempts and passing yards. #1 in rushing attempts and #1 in rushing yards. While I'm a big fan of a good run game...I'd rather have Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense.

The only team as bad as the Jets are the 1-7 Jags...can't wait to see Saint Doug fired. So, if the Jets manage to win this their only competition for that #1 overall right now is Jacksonville. A place where Lawrence might actually want to go...maybe.

And that Heart, the heart of a lion! Made me tear up when I heard this.

The Alice Cowboys might have found the D...

The Bills found their offense from the first four games. Found the defense from 2019. 16 hits on Wilson? 7-2 Terry Bradshaw hates Buffalo...probably still hurting from that kick in the head from Jim Haslett..

The entire TEAM gets a game ball IMO. Coaches, players and even the ball boy! 7-2.

So sweet, what a win!

OMG what a win!!

W00T, first down!!

AWESOME !! neutral zone infraction. 3rd and 1

Just get a first down, or two.

Oh baby, KlEIN... 16 hits on RW

JA, 31of 38 415 yards, 3 TDs

Imagine what it would be like today to be in the stadium...
