    He has the ability to, but needs to play better in weather.   Our horrific slate of bad weather home games this year have distorted some people’s view of him.  Especially those that just go by numbers absent context.  
     

    He’s absolutely Top 5, (Top 3 IMO) even with the meh weather games, but it’s time for him to take over one of these games from start to finish when everyone else is struggling with the elements.  

    I think he outplayed his competitors except in his last game vs the opposing team QB .. though Mac Jones 2 completions were impressive in the air gust game

    Lose faith in humanity every time you read fans reaction to stories like this.

     

    An unnamed “source”, use that word lightly.  Floats completely unsubstantiated speculation into the airwaves.  People hear and/or read the headline.  And then respond as if it is fact.  Respond as if this story actually came from a press conference where Rodgers announced he would boycott.

     

    Why

    Are

    We

    De-Evolving?!  🤦‍♂️
     

    Why are you allowing yourself to get dumber?!

    In hindsight I agree .. I should not have posted it. I don’t know protocol about deleting something like this. I know I can .. but given others have posted on it .. is it frowned upon

    We should be watching playoff football this weekend!!!  We don't need an extra week of regular season football to know which teams belong in the playoffs.  

     

    And yes I know that the NFL's reason for this is simply $$$$$$$

     

    But I'm just asking from a fan's standpoint.  I said from the beginning it was dumb but when it was first announced a lot of people were excited for it saying it was good to see more football etc. but from what I have been seeing on Twitter and other sources now that we are actually here it seems like most people are changing their tune and admitting an extra week of regular season football instead of jumping into the playoffs is stupid.  

     

    Where do you stand?

    Of course if we get rid of that 17th game it would have been the Skins for us (a win) and the Cowboys for the Patriots (a lose) meaning the Patsies assuming we take care of the Dolphins and Jets accordingly, the Patsies would be AFC East champs. Are you a closet Patriots fan … lol 😂

    God, what I wouldn't give to be a transient homeless person living in Orchard Park. 

    For one weekend, I would be the king of the hill.

    Cash for the drugs and Wegmans gift cards for the booze. 

    Based on your post it is safe to say that you have never been or really known a homeless / transient person. Very hard life regardless if it was by poor choices, bad circumstances, or mental issues. To be that in Buffalo would be hell in the wintertime. I have done ministry with the homeless and they can be some of the kindest people you will ever meet.

    per Sal C

    a 5% drop in completions, less yards per game with 5 more picks thrown with several deflections at the line becoming ints.

    only sacked 26 times is a credit to him, Burrow has been sacked double that !

    running more, but not in red zone,  as overall rush yards are way up with less TDs...its not been as good as last year or has it ?

     

     

    There were a lot more bad weather games than last year. One of the things he needs to figure out ala Rodgers is how to alter his style in different situations

    Watch the three ints again…the first if Jarrett doesn’t get his hand on it that’s a touchdown as Beasley was waiting to catch it

     

    The second he goes to Beasley again and Beasley has a miscommunication with Josh and cuts his route short only the team knows which player is at fault


    The third was just a deflected pass at the line that was basically a fair catch 

     

    So Josh had a rough day but there was nothing egregious about any of those throws 

    I rewatched the game and I saw three dropped passes and 1 bad int; 1 communication int; and one unlucky int that can happen sometimes. Jim Kubiak of the news broke it down much better.

    the real positive from this game is it appears the team can if needed run the ball over another team ( granted this was the Falcons)

     

  7. Bills are 2nd seed if win and Cincy and KC lose

    Bills are 3rd seed if win and either Cincy or KC lose

    Bills are 4th seed if win and Cincy and KC win

    Bills are 4th seed if lose and Patriots lose

    Bills are 6th seed if lose and Colts lose (Raiders / Chargers winner would have a better conference record – ignoring tie)

    Bills are 7th seed if lose and Colts win (Colts as well as Raiders / Chargers winner would have a better conference record)

    He didn’t even have as many special teams tackles as Mark Pike who was on his own team. I think it’s nice that he was a valuable special teams player but it also highlights how people around here are so biased. If it was meant to be it would have happened by now. The “legacy” hall of famers are 2nd/3rd rate or they’d already have gotten in. 

    He was double teamed relentlessly.. watch games today and see how many gunners get double-teamed. The dude was a 👹 

  9. Driving from NY to Carolina Sunday morning .. the Bills fan (news report and FB post from his wife attached) stopped at a reststop and saw a domestic abuse situation and intervened. After it seemed to calm down the abuser pulled a gun and shot 4 people including the Bills fan through the back of the neck and through his jaw. Per his wife, miraculously he was cheering the Bills on later that afternoon.

    i do not know the guy but this is a FB post from his wife “Yesterday, Dec 26th, at 9:30AM our world was rocked. You never think it could happen to you until the cruel, ugly, and heartbreaking reality is staring right at you. Emotions are hard to grasp and comprehend at this time - anger, sadness, confusion, fear, relief, thankful... 

    While traveling back home from NY to NC, Wade and I stopped at our halfway point in Winchester, VA. This rest stop was busy with families traveling South. We noticed an argument from afar between a man and woman in the parking lot. Wade and I stood in the grass with Maisel, stretching our legs as we kept an eye on the situation. Next thing we know, us and several others are sprinting across the parking lot to help this distressed woman who was taken to the ground and getting beaten by the angry man. Wade and the gentlemen were trying to calm the man down and what seemed like a controlled situation turned into our horror. 

    The memory of seeing my husband running for  his life as the man turned to shoot, the chaos of taking cover, and fighting to find and seeing Wade will forever be with me and him. 

    Wade sustained a comminuted fracture to his R cheek and sinus cavity and paralysis of a facial nerve due to a gunshot wound. Bullet went behind his ear and threw his cheek. 

    We are thankful for the hearts of the bystanders who helped and prayed over us in that moment, first responders, and the medical staff at Winchester Medical Center. Wade had many angels watching after him. In true Wade fashion, he is making his jokes, spreading his positivity and love to everyone, and was cheering on the Buffalo Bills soon after. 

    Two other men and the woman in the dispute were shot, but are all well. Shooter was chased down and shot himself in his car once caught. 

    Thank you for the love, prayer, and support you have shown us these last 24hrs! Hug your love ones a little tighter and believe in God and in the good of others a little more. We are headed back to Charlotte this morning to begin our healing physically and emotionally. “I love you” has never meant more and so blessed we get to keep saying it and proving it to one another.”

  10. 4th down incompletion gives us better position and Hyde catches it instead of knocking it away. I initially thought that was not a smart play .. you can see in the video that Poyer questions him Hyde responds and they both start laughing. Hyde entered the game at 3 INTs and needed 5 to get a $500,000 bonus.

     

    if you watch the video I am pretty certain that was the dialogue … good for you Micah!

    I remember when both of these guys were being discussed here as possible first overall picks in the draft. Barkley stayed at USC a year to long and fell to the fourth round, while Darnold went third overall, four picks ahead of some guy from Wyoming.

    Don’t compare Darnold to that guy from Wyoming. The dude from Wyoming has accuracy issues and you can’t fix those.

    Appreciate you laying out the timeline and his "reasons" for missing so much time.  I agree completely that he's checked out, but still gets is paycheck.  I wonder how he's perceived in the locker room and by the coaching staff?  Cutting him would send a strong message.

    Strong message of: we are not very smart. With the Covid mess you need as many skilled able bodies as necessary. If Harry and Ed happened to get injured / got Covid .. does Star help us more than A street free agent. Same for those who want to cut Cole .. Isaiah Hodgins / Proehl may or may not have a future with the Bills but there is a reason Cole is a starter and they are practice squad

  13. The possibility is there as the game day backup Feleipe Franks just went on the Covid list.

    He is not very good .. so I don’t think he or Allen really care about it as it won’t change the narrative … our Josh HOF trajectory.. Rosen one of the big busts of all- time who made the talking heads look foolish

  14. It seemed from the “experts” that the Bills targeted Josh.  Kind of crazy how fortunate we have been. Just read about a DB on the Browns, who was out injured, tweeting during the game “Run the damn ball” after Baker’s 2nd int

    never would happen with Josh and his teammates because a) he can throw the ball; and more importantly b) they respect Josh

  15. I distinctly remember Josh giving Hoyer a quick handshake .. clearly within 6 ft. I don’t understand why they do the meet and greet in the days of Covid protocols. If I were McD I would tell the coach of the other team before the game .. no offense but as soon as the game is over .. we are going right to the lockerroom

    I see your point, on the other hand, this spring, Josh's girlfriend Britt Williams posted pics of shopping in Target with their Silver Lab puppy.

    People who are Not Josh Allen and Not Josh Allen's Girlfriend probably get told to leave and return without the dog.

     

    RHIP probably applies

     

     

    There ar dogs allowed everywhere now .. go to Home Depot and you run into 6 dogs .. Walmart, grocery stores …. At least where I am nobody says anything
