Sure, but there's lots of reasons for fans to be optimistic. Allen made huge strides from the first half of his rookie season to his second half -- it was watching two totally different players. Then he made another huge step forward over the offseason. He has plenty of room for improvement, but the good news is that he's getting better over time and is very clearly on a positive trajectory. If Josh Allen 2022 is playing exactly like Josh Allen 2019, that would be unfortunate. But we have no reason to expect that and good reason to expect additional development.

Just bought our Dallas tickets!
BillsFanSD replied to Aross3415's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought about taking the family to this game, but the tickets were very expensive, and airfare was ridiculous too. Too bad -- figures to be a fun game! -
Keep in mind that Michael Irvin has a similar gig. Literally anybody can do this job apparently.

Bye Week Musings About the NFL at Large
BillsFanSD replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good point, especially about the Steelers. I forgot that they're down to their third QB. -
Bye Week Musings About the NFL at Large
BillsFanSD replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It seems like there are way more godawful teams than usual. Dolphins, Broncos, Bengals, Cards, Giants, Skins all look putrid. I'm not including the Jets in there because they'll get Darnold back and I'm assuming the Steelers and Falcons will get things sorted out, but there's a really large pool of bottom-feeders this year. -
People still bring up "he turned the ball over four times in one half" when literally none of those turnovers were the result of bad decision-making, sloppiness, carelessness with the football, etc. Not that Allen isn't occasionally reckless of course, but the amount of grief this guy gets over plays that come up in practically every game played in the NFL is amazing.

Is the Cheats* D as good as it appears to be?
BillsFanSD replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They look legit, but they haven't played a good offense yet. (Ours is merely decent). I think they're clearly in the top 5 and they can lean on them to win games. -
Week 7 Against Miami - Allen's First 300 Yard Game
BillsFanSD replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nobody in the national media is going to give any credence to stats we put up against Miami. Just take the W and move on. We'll get respect when we become regulars in the post-season. -
That final drive was amazing
BillsFanSD replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Loved this play. It's 3rd and short, and a first down ends the game. The Titans all knew that Gore was getting the ball. The entire stadium knew that Gore was getting the ball. Everyone watching at home knew that Gore was getting the ball. Sherpas in rural Nepal knew that Gore was getting the ball. And Allen just casually strolls for 5 yards on the naked bootleg. Game over. -
I think the first 16 games have shown that Allen has a significantly higher floor than we were led to believe going into the draft. He has already proven that he is not Jamarcus Russell, which was one of the unflattering comparison points at the time. His floor is more like "low-quality starter." Obviously his ceiling is way higher than that, but the downside risk was blown way out of proportion.

I agree -- after that missed FG, I texted my son about what a huge possession that was to come away with no points allowed and the game still tied. That was an incredibly eventful possession that the Titans had to feel like they get a TD on like 90% of the time, but unfortunately for them our defense is the other 10%.

Is this the best-timed Bills' bye?
BillsFanSD replied to The Red King's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes. I originally hated the bye coming this early, but we took a ton of little injuries in this game, so lets get everybody healthy. -

It makes me feel very old to realize that I get the "banana in the tailpipe" reference and nobody else does. -

Did you watch the last drive? That's the textbook definition of "putting a team away." -

Beautiful game! We won, and I love these kinds of games anyway. I love the Flutie vs Baltimore comparison. I still remember that one! -

BillsFanSD replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Let's also give a hat tip to Beane for giving us some serious depth on the line, along with lots of versatility. When a team loses that many linemen in a defensive struggle, they should really lose the game. We persevered. -

BillsFanSD replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was unhappy to see such an early bye on our schedule, but now it looks like good timing. Great win today, and now let's get everybody healthy. -
Would you have taken 3-2 at the bye?
BillsFanSD replied to benderbender's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know people forget this now, but the Jets were a pretty good team -- on par with the Titans -- when we played them. -
Josh Allen in concussion protocol: Update cleared 10/5

They have until 4:00 tomorrow to bring up Webb. No rush. -
Jets await test on Sam Darnold's spleen
BillsFanSD replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Darnold should consider himself lucky if mono was the only disease he contracted from that encounter. -
Jets await test on Sam Darnold's spleen
BillsFanSD replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kind of hard to criticize that decision. They're not beating the Eagles with their third-string QB no matter how many reps he gets, so you might as well give the first-team reps to the guy who gives you a chance to win if he can play. -
