50 stars out of 5 The Bills win the mother freakin' Super Bowl. So... yeah. And you even get a cameo from the (then current) Bills starting lineup. The acting leaves alot to be desired, but the ends justify the means.

https://www.buffalobills.com/news/how-recent-history-for-young-quarterbacks-looks-favorably-for-josh-allen-enterin This is a Chris Brown article from BuffaloBills.com. Very interesting read: It was evident to anyone who watched the second half of Josh Allen’s rookie season. The quarterback has the ability to take over a game. Allen made a good first impression on a lot of people in 2018, including those who professionally evaluate performances on a weekly basis. So what should be expected from Josh Allen in his second NFL season? “I think he’s going to be a great player,” said Sirius XM NFL Radio host Pat Kirwan. “His athleticism, we all knew he had it, but watching him this is rare athletic skill. His ability to give himself a chance to win games with the way he works around the pocket. He can do so many things that a lot of quarterbacks can’t do just to get himself open to extend plays and throw the ball.“You get him the right set of receivers, look out. I think he’s going to take a quantum leap in year two.” Recent history has shown that most quarterbacks who see significant action in their rookie season advance their team’s fortunes in their second season under center. Nine out of 11 current NFL quarterbacks, who started at least seven games as a rookie, helped raised their team’s won-loss record by an average of three wins (see chart). Six of those quarterbacks helped their team post a winning record after being under .500 the season prior. Among those signal callers are Mitchell Trubisky, who led the Chicago Bears to the NFC North title and a home Wild Card playoff game just this past season, and Jared Goff, who helped the L.A. Rams win the NFC West title in 2017. And three of those 11 quarterbacks helped their teams to Super Bowl titles in Ben Roethlisberger (2005), Russell Wilson (2013) and Carson Wentz, who was putting together an MVP type season in 2017, before Nick Foles finished it off in Super Bowl XLII.

I think that we’ve just got to keep grinding it out and really improving in all the stuff that we can.”“He’s not arrived by any means, but I know who he is and he is not complacent,” said Beane of Allen. “This guy is competitive. He wants to get better. He wants to be the best at his craft. He’s got a really good plan. We talked to a lot of the young guys and Josh has a really good plan for the offseason to come back here bigger, stronger, faster and mentally even stronger.” That’s why Beane is determined to equip Allen with the tools he needs to lift the Buffalo offense that languished near the bottom of the league in total yards, passing and scoring to a level that can help them pull their weight. Coupled with a top five defense, year two for Allen could mirror some of his NFL predecessors when it comes to team improvement. “He has huge upside,” said former NFL quarterback Jim Miller. “His arm strength is ridiculous. He puts some serious sauce on that ball. If he just hones in and gets his footwork all worked out, man he’s going to be a good one. He’s tough and extremely athletic. He can do things that no quarterback in this league can do."

Do You Still Wear Zubaz?
Heavy Kevi replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love Zubaz. I am a chef amd wear the very similar baggy chef pants. You really can't beat it'a comfort factor. My problem with Zubaz came when I put the lift kit on my truck. Now I rip out crotches of pants like you would not believe, and zubaz have been the number one victim. So my Zubaz are all dead and I currently own 0 pairs. Maybe someday I'll get a car or stop driving on gameday, but until then the zubaz are gone. -
Kinda hoping we flirt with the cap floor this year and save another spending session next year. Either that, or make some big money 1 or 2 year contracts for an older player. We need a real game breaker to come available, and then go for it. Not just pay whoever happens to be available. This year would have been a perfect time for a guy like Mack who was available last year. Wait it out, trade of you have to, we have to make sure the money spent this year is on bona fide players or on short contracts.

About Tom Brady and the Patriots
Heavy Kevi replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I want a career ender for Brady. He's had a good run, has a supermodel wife, and together they are worth more than some small countries and can sail off into the sunset... ...just get the ***** out of the NFL. -
We have got to get a few more Williams' before we double up on Allens... We are way behind on our Williams quota. Any good Williams' on the OL or at WR?

Poll of NFL players on QB (was: rookie QB Roundup)
Heavy Kevi replied to Kemp's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Radar Josh All doing "pretty bad", lol. I guess they surveyed Jalen Ramsey. Wait a few years, that class will be looked back upon as a great one. Imo Baker, Darnold, and Allen are all real players, and Lamar and Rosen have a good chance to be as well. It might not be Kelly/Marino/Elway of '83 but will be comparable to Rivers/Rapistberger/Eli draft of '04, in my opinion of course. -
Bills 2018 Season Highlights in 3 minutes
Heavy Kevi replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice vid. More of a hype video than a highlight package but enjoyable nonetheless. I still have all the games on my DVR (and last years) to get me through the offseason. That last Miami game of last year and the subsequent 15 minutes will never get too old to watch. -
My opinion changed dramatically on him- from 2 days before the draft to draft day, and from draft day until now. When I saw his throws at the combine I was like "ok, don't fall for the measurables. They are in shorts and we already know he's a 'workout hero'". I did not want an inaccurate college QB from a crap team just because he looks like the player you make in Madden as a prototype at QB. Then the twitter leak. This gave me the feeling that some team(s) were trying to make him fall in the draft. This actually made me want us to draft him. Wierd I know, and maybe it's a bit of underdog syndrome, or maybe I felt like he was being mistreated. Either way, I wanted him even though my brain screamed "NOOOOO" From then to now, what a difference. You could argue he is still inaccurate (and the stats would agree with you), but he showed us so much more that makes me proud to have him as our QB- namely his passion, heart, team mentality, and drive (and did I mention he's like a physical prototype at QB). He is so perfect for the city of Buffalo it's almost scary. He has embraced all things Buffalo and the fans have reciprocated. As I type this I see him at the Sabres game in a Tre White goalie academy hoodie. Good *****. On the field he showed things that make me believe he is the future, and off the field he is already there. That's my quarterback, man....

Whew.... About f'ing time.

Ah yes. It's 2018, better take a swipe at rural America. I would guess that all of the new QB prospects had somethimg to do with it, especially in markets starving for excitement like Buffalo, Cleveland, and Arizona. I think that has more impact than the lack of anthem protests, but I could be wrong. If I am wrong, wouldn't that mean that these terrible, horrible, no good, very bad "hillbilly rednecks" did in fact take interest to begin with, since they came back to equal 5% of total viewership?

Yay, no mention of Daboll. We need some god-forsaken continuity... Except for ST's, it's time for Crossman's head to roll.

Have you ever farted real loud in public?
Heavy Kevi replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Only fart ballad I know. Gotta love country music! "He said 'the Devil made me do it', but Mama said it was the liverwurst" -
Poll is flawed Easy answer: McClappy
-
He's absolutely not worth it, but since we have so much cap we should keep him on the books next year. No way we can responsibly spend 100mil so lets save some for 2020 too.

AW23 Beef with the Bills-Any insight?
Heavy Kevi replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seemed like he was having a blast at the opener. I wonder what changed since then. -
I actually agree with every word here, but technically speaking they don't have 'every right'. Bears have a right to refuse business for just about any reason, as does any other business. Still a dumb move. Really comes across weak, like they are afraid of opposing fans in their stadium. I like it better in Buffalo, where opposing fans are afraid of our stadium. ???

Why I'm still trusting the process: -Playoffs -Real QB prospect -#1 Defense And that's just in the first 2 years.

Bills have released Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes
Heavy Kevi replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was reminding me of T.O. Well then he should have used his mouth to catch, because his hands sure can't.
