  1. Even if there's only a 1% chance it happens, Josh does have a higher ceiling in my opinion. Let's leave college accolades out of NFL evals- they aren't relevant unless we want to bring back Tebow, Colt McCoy, or Vince Young. I know Josh had had troubles with accuracy (or at least comp%), but he is raw. Let's talk about Cam for a minute. Yes, broke rookie passing record- but never matched that 4000 mark again, and had 21/17 TD/INT. On top of that he has only topped 60% completion twice (career comp% 58.5%), and throws picks like crazy (career 158/94 TD/INT). While leading the Panthers, they have had 3 winning years and 4 losing years, good less than 50% of the time. Yes he got an MVP but is wildly inconsistent, and really is not even top-10 QBs in the league right now. Also, let's not pretend you have to be a great QB to get to a SB- I watched Kaep and Flacco in one. Though I know you don't want to lend him any credence- Josh is prototype size (much like Cam), but has a much stronger arm, and Josh is not a me-first d-bag. Everyone talks about how hard Josh works and studies, but with Cam you get an arrogant elitist who couldn't seem to stop stealing things in college. People don't like Cam. I'm not trying to slam him, but... Character wise he is miles behind Josh Arm strength wise he is behind Josh Which means IF (and it's a BIG if) Josh realizes his potential, he has a chance to be much better than the perrenially overrated Carolina QB at least as a thrower/QB though he will never be as good of a RB as Cam or TuhRod.
  2. Awesome. I love this team right now. Coaching, attitude, players, very impressive. Now can we get episodes like 30 mins every day? I could watch just this and nothing else until September 9th.
  3. Very intereting..... Well, not really. I think AJ just about took himself out of the competition Friday night before he got "hurt".
  4. Surprise surprise! A crusade thread. Btw yeah everybody was excited about EJ's preseason... But it's pretty obvious before it even started Allen is a better prospect, and now that it's underway it's pretty obvious Allen passes the "eye test" much better than EJ. I don't understand why people are so emotional about it quite frankly. Who cares if you were wrong about a prospect? Just be happy that there's a chance we have a franchuse QB.
  5. The pundits will pull a 180 if Allen turns out good. Right now they are doubling down on their predraft predictions. They want him to fail so they will be right. ...but he is so fun to watch they will jump on the bandwagon the very moment he proves he is for real.
  6. Peterman has looked pretty good so far this preseason, despite his draft status or last years play. It's a new year, and where you were drafted no longer matters.If we can e v a l Josh on this preseason, so can we with Nate.
  7. With all that's up in the air about the upcoming season, I would put the over/under for BOTH teams at 7 wins. Their floor/ceiling with TuhRod - 4/8 Their floor/ceiling with Baker - 3/9 Our floor/ceiling with Peterman - 3/9 Our floor/ceiling with Allen - 4/10 Obviously I just made those numbers up. They have a better collection of talent at many positions, but we have the edge with coaching and experience (and just won 9 games last year to their none). At this point, my guess is that Allen is 1 win better than Peterman.
  8. Love this kid. Really hope he pans out. From what I've seen, Josh Allen is such a great fit here in Buffalo. He probably knows if he really is good, there will be a 6'5 3/4" bronze wearing 17 right outside the stadium.
  9. They are just a bit salty that we had a home game in their stadium in last years playoffs. I went over to the Jags board to tell them it was going to happen. Our team sucked that day, but our fans did what we do. We literally had some Jag fans afraid to go and get beat up by Bills fans. Classic. Let them hate us, it's a new era.
  10. Brady can't be the greatest because of the many*'s Plus I actually agree Peyton was more valuable. It was the Peyton Manning system, not just listen to hoodie and "do your job". The colts got the 1st overall pick when Manning went down, Pats went 11-5 with a scrub QB when Brady went down. Brady will always be in the conversation because of the titles, but he should be disgraced for cheating like Barry Bonds. People say it's overblown and a non-issue, but you don't destroy evidence unless you have something to hide. Up until that moment he had the benefit of the doubt.
  11. Ya he's def wrong a few times... I still found him entertaining. Clearly he is a Josh Allen fan boy, but I laughed out loud more than once. I've seen tons of breakdowns... But very few are as memorable as I found this one to be.
  12. Uhhhh.... What? Clean, beautiful sack, no helmet contact, no "unneccesary roughness", nothing. This would not shock me if that was Marsha taking the sack, but officials are making calls like that on regular guys now? Won't be long they will be flagging defenders for "intent".
  13. Awesome... "If Josh Allen was on TV more often, my quality of life would be better" "He lets it go, then absolutely rips that mofo" "They say this guy is inaccurate, well then what the !@#$ was that?" Haha. Great video breakdown and the guy is freakin hilarious.
  14. Yeah Edmunds looked reluctant- like he was running in quicksand. He has the size/speed but needs to be more decisive. The good news is there were a few flahes for Edmunds of when he would recognize a play early and was in position. Hopefully that bodes well for his potential when the game "slows down" for him. I will give him that the defense has not looked confused. Since he's wearing the green dot, that reflects positively.
  15. Yeah I guess I'm gonna tell you about timing and figuring out roster spots. Well not really. I don't like the idea of killing the pre-season, but I do like the idea that has been floated where two of them become regular season games. Preseason would start at the same time, but only last for 2 games. The regular season would start mid-August and be 18 games. Tack on a couple roster spots, a few more million for the cap, and a second slot for IR designated to return... Boom, everybody wins. They will never kill it completely because it will decrease the product on the field during regular season.
  16. You don't really wonder that. It's not close and it's obvious. Allen has been naturally endowed with the ability to throw a football harder than just about anybody. Like has been mentioned before, it's like Fitz. He looks good early in the season, but putting everything you have into every throw takes it's toll and the second half of the season is a stinker because you are just beat down physically.
  17. The OL is def a problem, but... Like you said, he is alot more athletic/mobile than most give him credit for. He moves around pretty well (footwork isn't always pretty), but some of what we lost with Tyrods departure, Allen can make up for. Besides that, the thing I think gets most overlooked (and also evident on that TD), is how fast his release is. I saw on Soul and Science they said his release was faster than Brady. I didn't believe it. Now I do. Once he decides to throw the ball, it's GONE.
  18. My house has a metal roof, and I installed it myself, as well as having used it on many structures before. Sure, you can hear the rain sometimes, but even on the flat-ish portion (only 20 degrees or so), I don't hear the rain unless it's extreme. This portion is 14 feet long lean-to off the back of the house, and has only 2x4 construction with r13 insulation and sheathed with drywall on the inside, and OSB/furring strips under the tin. In my opinion rain noise is not a real concern, and the attic would help- especially if insulated. If you are 61... You won't have to ever deal with a metal roof again. Durability is top-level and you don't lose shingles in a windstorm. That is my experience with 9 years on this roof that looks like it was installed yesterday. Everything I build now gets a metal roof, even after spending many younger years doing shingle roofs. I don't know if you are planning on doing it yourself, but metal is also significantly easier and quicker to install. The tar-coat washered self tap screws are a must for a good seal, and be sure to get all the proper trim/peak pieces. If you have many pitches or valleys, it can be more challenging and you will want to make full use of flashing and dripedge. Jmo. Good luck
  19. Yes because condescension is so much more mature than disliking a region. How's the weather on that moral pedestal?
  20. If he meant fans, I'll say people. I have been there dozens of times as a teen/early 20's. My experience is the people there truly do suck. And that accent... horrendous. As Joe Rogan says (he's from Boston) "it's not an accent, the Boston area is a large group of people who say most words wrong". Yes, you are right in a sense- it's the Pats, Bruins, Sox, Celtics, etc... But it's also everything else. If I had it my way, I would take a big-ass saw, cut the state at the border and kick it into the ocean.
  21. If this is true we need somebody glued to him learning the system. If he's "that good", and all of the sudden WE have a high-end NFL offense, he'll be a HC before long. That's the sad truth in an NFL that gives coaches 45 minutes to succeed and then fires them.
  22. Will be on the Bills website and app tomorrow night for those of us without fb.
  23. Several reasons. It's not about this year with Josh, it's about the long term. I don't wonder if he's ready, I'm fairly sure he's not. I think he can gain something being a pro for a year and getting to know the offense before starting. Also, by starting AJM/NP obviously we could suck. This is not really bad... Get a high pick for skill players on offense. If the starting QB plays great and we do well, even better and maybe we are in a position like KC was with Smith, and could get something of value. Seems to me that 2 years from now, these moves would leave us in a better position, and I want to set up a "window" so they say, of relevance. We aren't going to the SB (or probably the playoffs) this year, so we should plan everything around being good in the next couple years and being able to keep that window open as long as possible.
