Massive credit to Allen, Beane, and McDermott for taking Buffalo from perennial laughing stock into yearly contender. As much as people like to dump on the FO for drafting “culture” players, they had the same mind set when going afree Allen. As amazing as his measurables were, the mind & mental make-up is the most important thing a young QB can possess. We’ve seen big, athletic freaks come & go in this league. I think most people here can agree that the Josh Allen era will never be forgotten even if they never end up winning the big one. For the same reason people still talk about Dan Marino, they will talk about Allen because of their sheer dominance especially compared to their peers. A championship is a team award. I wish people would drill that into their heads.

Josh Allen’s playoff stats stretched out to an entire year would be MVP-worthy. Beane/McD really need to get their defense clicking this year.

I keep hearing this but it never happens. Josh Allen’s turnovers (when he WAS turning it over) generally didn’t affect the outcome of games hence the W-L record. The last one I can think of is the Vikings game 2 years ago where Allen threw a pick in the RZ in OT. I think the gunslinger label was fabricated by the media. When your entire offense is as QB-centric as the Bills, you are bound to throw picks. Obviously, Allen isn’t a surgeon like Brady or Brees, but I think he deserves much more credit for his accuracy and command of the offense. Other NFL QB’s might have a better TD-INT ratio, but they also aren’t putting up 40-50 TDs either without throwing double digit picks.

Thank God I can proudly say I was never in the Josh Rosen camp.

This is the video that really sold me on Josh Allen. I mean I always knew he was a good guy, but this just proves to me just how big his heart really is.

Sauce Gardener is all hype. Cool nick name, big market, cocky = overrated. Jets think they have the next Revis, but I think he’s closer to Jalen Ramsey. Essentially paid 2 Christian Benfords for 1 Sauce Gardener… I absolutely love watching this franchise crash & burn. They’re going to have to luck out like Cleveland did, draft top 5 every year, and accidentally fall into a talented team. This is why I respect Beane who has put together a great team with later picks and not overspending.

Flick the Beane and make it happen

Love those early 2000s era Chargers uniforms and of course the famous powder blues. Shame they couldn’t get to the SB even once. Easily the most talented team during their prime, but didn’t have the coaching to bring them over the top.

Jets are just so desperate for blue chip talent, they’ll take it where they can get it. Besides, if you aren’t paying a huge % of your cap to a QB then that’s the time to splurge on other positions. Maybe they are trying to do what teams like the Vikings and 49ers do and build a solid team first to pair w/ QB of the future.

Parrish/ McGee/ Moorman/ Lindell (?)

I also find it weird the Bills are so extremely successful in the regular season against the Chiefs and yet they can’t get one win or lucky break/call in the big games. Last matchup was filled with so many terrible spots by the refs, one resulting in a turnover (on downs.) In a one score game is inexcusable. If the average fan can see it on tv then it is a BAD spot.

True sleeper? He wouldn’t have been one last year, but for this one it is Curtis Samuel. I truly think he is going to emerge as a top a 3 target in the Bills offense (combining rush/rec.) Joe Brady needs to be more creative. Samuel has proven for a long time that he can ball. IDK what’s going on or why they even picked him up if they don’t know what to do with him. Hopefully this is the year.

I’m curious as to what his actual role is

I would put that 2004 Bills defense against anyone. Ranked 2nd in the league at the time they had Schobel, Fletcher, Spikes, Fat Pat, Sam Adams, Clements/McGee manning the outside and a young Jabari Greer. Absolutely would crush even today. On the other side Moulds & Evan’s at WR (a top 5 tandem) middle of the pack QB Bledsoe and an underrated McGahee who rushed for 1100+ 13 TDs. Their problem was the line was crap. Still went 9-7, but largely because of their defense being so great.

Josh has a smoking mom too 🤤
