Keenum would’ve been sacked 10 times & would’ve thrown as many or more ints.

I’m surprised he isn’t our starting slot receiver yet. McKenzie isn’t getting it done.

Josh Allen also ran for 2 touchdowns and improvised on several of our good plays. Yes, his passing was off on several plays, but the play calling was subpar today, the o-line was getting beat without any blitzing & other than Diggs, the WRs had a bad day, too. We expect Allen to carry us every game. We need others to step up, too.

Can’t afford to lose very winnable games, especially division games. We really missed Milano on defense because Milano, not Edmunds is our Pro Bowl linebacker. Josh had a rough passing game, but almost carried us with his running. He actually came through on the final drive, but a Dawkins holding call & a Davis drop/uncalled PI stopped us. Hopefully, we will be motivated enough not to let this happen again.

Jets have applied pressure without blitzing all game. That’s been a key to their defense.

Other than the first play of the game, our only good plays are Josh Allen avoiding the pass rush & either running or throwing. We are not fooling the defense at all.

Milano vs. #43 is a huge difference on defense! We used to have better backup LBs.

We miss Milano. He is extremely important for our defense.

I was established 13 days later ( also in Buffalo)!

Watching the replay is so much more relaxing, although McKenzie’s spastic plays still frustrate me! We really need to play Shakir more than McKenzie.

It’s way too early, but the current standings have Buffalo as the one seed & we have already beaten the current 2, 3 & 4 seeds. Even with the tough Miami game, we’re off to a great start!

Apparently TBD actually means The Bills Doctors!

With Gabe out, Kumerow stepped up with 2 big catches for 50 yards!

At least Cleveland traded him to an NFC team, so we should get more Buffalo games here. Of course, buying NFL Sunday ticket has eased my concerns with this problem!

The odd thing about Mayfield’s statue is a side view of it actually does look like him. From that angle you can even see he has a bandana on his forehead. The NY Post has that angle. The front view looks nothing like him.

The guy is from Massachusetts……. He vastly underestimates the value of the Bills for the Buffalo area. Very one sided article. If he’s an expert, he just devalued his own “franchise “ with what appears to be a much more subjective than objective article.

There sure are a lot of stories complaining about all the public money being spent on the Bills new stadium. A lot of those stories seem to be coming from New York City. Now, where would most of that $600 million of New York State tax dollars ended up being spent if not for Buffalo……….now the large number of articles makes sense.

I have an overall negative opinion of Whaley’s tenure as GM. It might be that Beane has been so good, that Whaley looks very bad in comparison. BTW, I was just watching the NCAA tournament game being played tonight in Buffalo. When the TV cameras spotted Beane in the stands & his face apparently went up on the big screen, the crowd roared, with some fans giving him a standing ovation. I just don’t think the reaction to Whaley on the big screen would’ve ever been like that when Whaley was GM.

I’ll admit, living in Oklahoma, I really liked Baker Mayfield at OU & my son & I were hoping Buffalo would draft him. At OU, Mayfield was as fierce a competitor at QB as I’ve ever seen. He absolutely loved playing in hostile environments and seemed to play his best games in the biggest games. I’ve always considered combine athletic #s as relatively less important than intangibles. Unfortunately for Cleveland & Mayfield, pure physical #s, like arm strength are very important. My son was way more right on Allen than I initially was. He loved Allen within a few weeks of the draft, it took me a few regular season games. It turns out Josh Allen is just as fierce of a competitor as Baker Mayfield AND he has much better athletic ability to make the necessary throws & plays! Mayfield is now my third favorite QB, behind Josh Allen & Ryan Fitzpatrick (who moved up to #2 after that Buffalo-New England wild card game)!

Just to add to that opinion: I know one of Troy Aikman’s high school coaches. Per this old coach, Troy went with Jones & Johnson to a postseason NFL function. Troy was in his early 20s at this time & Johnson & Jones were in their 40s. They were both drinking a lot & were hitting on girls Troy’s age. Troy said he was embarrassed to be around them. Also, it was widely known Jimmy Johnson was going after coeds when he was the head coach at Oklahoma State. I had friends who saw this in bars around Stillwater. Not cool for a married coach in a small college town. The two JJs were a lot alike, in a bad way.

I don’t mind Aikman & Buck, but I don’t consider them anything special at all. I’m neutral on their announcing. I do prefer more enthusiasm from the announcers. However, getting rid of Levy & Griese would be a definite improvement for me. I think Levi just doesn’t like Buffalo. He took shots at Bills mafia, insinuating they’re reputation and traveling numbers were overrated, & doesn’t appear to be a fan of Josh Allen. Griese also seemed to be looking for any mistakes by Josh Allen & seemed to be rooting for the other team on most occasions. Obviously I am not objective, but I always felt like I was listening to the other team’s announcing crew when they did Bills games. On the other hand, I think Jim Nance genuinely likes Josh & likes the Bills mafia story. Not to the pro-Bills feel of Chris Berman, but he seems to lean a little our way.

I agree with the thread title, Allen is better. The media can & does equate winning teams to mean the QB is a winner. The truth is Josh Allen won the playoff game in Kansas City with 2 great drives culminating in 2 great TDS in the last 2 minutes of the game. His defense collapsed twice, actually 3 times in a row. That’s nothing on Josh, he did everything anyone could ask. He played both playoff games like a clutch, championship level winner. He was easily the best QB in the NFL playoffs. After today, it’s not even close.

That near pick needs to be pointed out. I heard Jimmy Johnson saying no one should blame Mahomes because the OT interception was a tipped pass. Johnson failed to mention his previous pass should have been a game ending pick 6!

I would have thought Burrow lighting up KC was the Bengals only chance. Instead, Burrow had a very average game. He threw a key 4th quarter interception and almost threw a second one on the next series ( it was dropped). Cincinnati’s defense and especially their d-line was the difference. If you objectively review these playoffs, Burrow has been very average. He’s been a good luck charm more than a super QB.

I reluctantly agree. Not only do we rarely have crucial stops, we rarely get a 3 & out in key situations.
