This was being discussed in a thread all week. Apparently, fox gives no hoots and wants better ratings

Lol, gotta have the qb jersey stick out somehow. Everyone else is red this week, so bright green it is!

Human instinct. Run...or die

How do you know the Bills dont do that? In fact, theyve mentioned on multiple occasions they practice many odd situations- just in case it pops up they are prepared and know how to play it. Things like that come with time and experience. Its litterally the difference between winning and losing. If you arent coming from behind, your looking to close it out. Generally, good teams dont let other teams stay in games. They put on the gas and close it out. Easier said than done in todays NFL and the good teams are good at it and thats why they are good. Cleaning up the penalties will certainly help their cause, but again - there are multiple aspects to nailing down the win IMO

How do you root for a team, but not the QB1? Just seems pretty odd as once he was drafted his haters (but Bills fans) realized he is their guy now so lets go for the ride. This much angst for a guy who is the face of your team seems counterproductive

Context matters

Come on man, my grown@$$ grandmother can answer this thread...

Its sad that ive lost count of how many times hes thrown for a 1st and its been negated due to penalties. That counts for something, but wont show up in the box score. This offense has been totally Allen. What he achives is as far as they go. At a certain point, he becomes limited to whats around him. But the fact this team has been in position to win the last 4 weeks is impressive - considering. It is what it is dont get me wrong, but its hard to accurately judge the kid on his pocket passing when his line is a siv, so the running game suffers his AND WR dont make him plays. He works with what he has. Hopefully things blossom more when he doesnt have to bolt and will have guys that will help and make plays for him. In the meantime, its just fun to watch the josh allen show and see what happens.

Huh... who'da thunk?!

I dont disagree, but id hope/imagine he consulted with Housh prior to sending him out there and was given the a ok. Gotta hope ur kicker is honest. That just looled like a poor strike right off the boot

Nope, that was me. They softened up a tad. Funny dudes

Pure class! Nice article/good read, thanks for the follow up!!

I understand your point, but i honestly thought this was the initial post from 2 weeks ago that contained some excellent back and forth and quality points. Part of it wont be understood to those who are new. Some former BBMB posters bring quality and insightful information and conversation. I wont even go as far to say that site closing ruined this one bc thats not fair and doesnt have to be the case. By and large however, the influx of folks changed this board. Simple concepts like scanning for existing topics to continue conversations went out the window. Right or wrong, theres no denying nowadays someone decides to create a topic for something they deem original (when its not) OR think their slightly altered view deserves its own thread bc its important enough and starts one. Now, mind you this isnt a rant i just decided needed to be shared. I was fine engaging in good conversation and throwing some snark at the silly stuff. Someone called me out for being a smarty pants and inquired why - so i shared. It is what it is. It wont be popluar and i get that. Im also not ashamed to be real and explain it. If you still dont get it, look no further than the recent 'can we start Barkley against the Jets' thread for the proof in the pudding.

Nah brah, pissing in the punch bowl is watering it down such as this. There was litterally the same poll and thread after the jax game and numerous times before that. Dont be lazy and start a new thread bc you want the attention. Bump the last one.... bc really, on a Bills board , what do you expect?? Spoiler : a couple people who still dislike Allen, and everyone else picking Allen. I personally come here for good conversation, news, and information. This is just watering down intelligent talk. I may be in the minority, but this is silly. Stuff like this is on facebook with someones aunt sally talking about how cute Josh's dimples are or someones sister suzy saying Darnolds better bc hes got a better butt. Then out of leftfield someone says they should trade Benjamin- totally unaware the deadline has passed, that hes no longer on the team, and more stupidly assuming someone would want him with that $$. This was, and sometimes still is, (thanks in large part to mr cornerblitz26 and many other thoughtful contributors) a place to get away from that nonsense. A thread of this ilk for the umpteenth time moves the needle just a bit more towards the aforementioned junk. Its so bad, sometimes i listen to one bills live (like yesterday when some idiot calls and goes on about how barkley should still be playing or nownthey can finally bring back brandon reilly) and the thought pops into my head 'hmmm, i wonder what that guys handle is'. I just shake my head and wonder bc some of these posts are like that now. I dont even mean to be negative about it and of course i cld just go on my merry way...but gee golly its a tough thing to to when you have to wade through 3 nonsense topics to find one that hasnt already been discussed 3x already! Sure its off topic to a degree - but you asked and this is simply a retread anyway. Im sorry you feel insulted, but im insulted my time was wasted by clicking on the topic to find something of interest... only to find this. It is what it is and like it or love it, now you know! Edit* its only fitting the name Nick Foles appears somewhere in this thread, so here it is. Nick Foles. Word

Knockoff site lol

How many times do we need this same pole on a bills board? What in the world makes you think its at all interesting? If you are being serious, ive got this paddle with a rubber ball attatched w/a string youd find 'interesting'. Thing will knock ur socks off!

Ouuoo pick me!! Pick me!!

In my pockets Where are my pockets you ask? Well, in my pants of course! Where are my pants? Oops, i forgot em!

Ya? This wlda been good discussion for the ppst game thread. Its a shame someone didnt bring it up to be discussed there! Oh..wait....

Easy tiger

I get it, but ya gotta be reasonable. Dude just got done running all over the field. Like, litterally, all over the field. Then he has to launch a 60-65 yard pass in the air. Not for nothing, did you see how it came out? I dont mean this to be gym class hero-ish, but i can hit 50 yards in the air and have some control over where it goes. Maybe I can throw it 55ish with just chucking it to throw it as far as i can. What happens though, for that and anything after that is ya try and throw it too far and either grip it too tight or just over throw it and the result is a fluttery duck that doesnt go as far as just trying to throw a nice bomb. If you arent trying to throw it as far as you can, youll get a nicer pass. Its totally possible that at that point in that situation - a 60+ yard pass was all ( all...lol) he had. It got there and he needed help. In a vaccum he hits that throw. In THAT situation, its still impressive. At the end of the day, its not something i can rip on him for while sitting on my couch. Also, there is a reason Clay was down there wide open. Id imagine most thought it wasnt humanly possible to make that pass from the oppo hash. The kid almost proved otherwise

86.6 on clay. 23.4 on Allen (Assuming of course there was 110% being given)

40 yds out, hash to hash... he did what he could. He needed a bit of help, and didnt get it. He willed that team and put em on his back. Pretty impressive stuff from the rookie today

Terrible take Sorry! ?

Seriously?? Someones got a hell of an agenda...
