    Whose scale? The stat obsessed, rotisserie baseball fanatics that think DVOARTxY(Yac)/V2-{x/z) percentage is more important than, you know, winning games? 

    A raw, small town college QB in just his second year secures a playoff spot with two weeks to spare and has his team within a few plays of winning the division and securing a bye has proved that he is in fact the one. 

     

    In the next two years if all Josh manages to do is, with the same stats, get us in to the playoffs two more times so that he has done it in three consecutive seasons, what then? Since that seems not to be good enough to prove that "he is in fact the one", will people be calling for the team to cut a QB who gets his team into the playoffs three years in a row? 

     

    The argument is over, all those who still can't get over the fact that we didn't draft Rosen or Rudolph or whatever just have to accept reality: Josh is our franchise QB. 

     Franchise QB? Very well could be, but he is a franchise QB in training at this point. Like it or not he is not consistent enough, and fumbles way to much.

     

      The NFLs scale, as seen by our coaches & GM, that’s obvious enough.

     

         Raw, very true, two years of real coaching so far, and he is showing real progress, and that is good,  but by the end of two more years he absolutely needs to show he is there, or awfully damn close, according to SMs & BBs agenda, not yours or mine.

     

       I’m a big fan of Josh Allen and want nothing less than to see him be “The Man” , but in all reality he has to repeat what he has achieved and more over the next two years to be considered the one going forward.  

     

    After four years of top level coaching he has to show more consistent play and far fewer fumbles every game, and be putting up twenty one Points per game average, all season long, we all know this offense as it currently sits is not scoring enough points.  

     

    We as fans, absolutely want Josh to kick asz, that Is a given. It is what we all hope happens. I was on the wagon the moment the pick was announced, and have seen the shine in his play from the get go. But he does need to improve noticeably, and I think he can, as it appears you think that too. 

     

    Go Bills!!!

  2. Being that our Josh is still ranked pretty low on nfl qb scale,  that is a bit of an “if/maybe”  Allen has good up side I think we all see that. During this upcoming season JA needs to take a big step with his consistency and ball security, if that happens all is good, but if he is no better than this past season we likely start the early portion of the process of finding his replacement. Josh has two years max to prove he is the one, jmo.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Over blown op/ed piece, with the tailings of truth scattered about, imo.

     

    It’s fun to debate this with all its ins and outs, but it really is nothing to get up about, after all it’s just a bunch of guys opinions getting thrown around. Those that still hold a grudge? Oh well for them. You have your opinion and I respect that, and do not think worse of you for holding it. 

     

    Not quite time for beer ? but it’s 5:00 ? somewhere ??

     

    Go Bills!!!

    IF the Bills have any intention of building a new stadium downtown or otherwise, I assume there is no need to put in another dime in renovation costs on New Era Field.  That would make me assume that if additional renovations occur on NEF, the Bills are staying put.  Right?

     

     

    Being they just did some renovation work a short while back, i think you may be right on that, I sure would like a city location but they sure as hell aren’t asking my opinion, ?

  5.  

    PSE has their new stadium plans in hand, and ready to go at need. The county/ state as well likely has financial numbers worked out for the most part, it’s not like all parties concerned don’t know this is coming down the pike. The current  stadium cost 22 million to build in 1973 dollars, and 127 million in 2019 dollars according to Wikipedia, fwiw. There was/is an outer harbor plan for New Era II stadium costing 1.4 billion to include the stadium, hotel, convention center and sports museum etc, also according to Wikipedia fwiw, likely a bunch of you guys knew this stuff already...

    They were up 16-0 in the wildcard round playoff game against the Texans, and lost.  The offense and Daboll's play calling have problems, that is not a surprise.  What shouldn't have happened is the defense going into prevent mode and allowing the Texans back in the game, that is a coaching decision.  Until McDermott and Frazier change their minds about playing soft zone / prevent defense with a lead, the likelihood of this happening again is very present.  Posters can point out poor execution on the players' part, and that has validity, but winning coaches continue to attack and/or go with what got them to that point.  There needs to be a mindset/style change with McDermott, which needs to be pushed to Frazier.  As far as offense, Daboll shouldn't be calling plays; it is not his strength.

    Very well stated, gotta agree with your thoughts here.

    RJ was going no where quick? Look again on the two games against St Louis and the 49ers that RJ started. 

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199809200buf.htm and https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199810040buf.htm 33 and 25 points respectively. 

    That RJ was in effect let go, says a lot about his overall play long term, I don’t Know how you see his departure,  but at least for me it says he wasn’t seen as a good option for the team. 

     

    Go Bills!!!

  8. Jmo, We here are essentially old guys, (thirty and over)( and decidedly uncool) ?,  so she comes across as very young, but that’s the nature of a position like that, it’s a first or second step on a career ladder. I think she’s doing fine as to what is expected of her. It after all is a Bills propaganda show. 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    You underestimate. This place was like the Wild West meets Stalin’s purge.  Plenty of hatred on each side.  The smarter folks were anti-Flutopians.

    Sounds like George from Seinfeld on steroidal rage , ? all sorts of ignore list threats flying around ? ,  in hind sight it is likely a pretty funny read, grown men getting all seriously butt hurt about essentially nothing. ?

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Zero angst. Just an honest comparison between the two players’ personas. They couldn’t be more different.

     

    Cocky is one thing. Undermining the team for personal gain is another.

    Cocky? JK was an asz when he first got to Buffalo it wasn’t till year two that he started to change, that’s what my point is, that and JK was not benched for a scrub, he was injured, things would have been a lot different if Jim was benched for the likes of Rob Johnson. Luckily Ralph kept his nose out of team decision during those years, for the most part anyway , and we didn’t have to go through that again. More beer ???

    you can have your opinion and that’s absolutely fine with me.
