BillsPride12

Wow I had a bet with a guy at work who said he didn't think Josh would make the Top 10 because the NFL doesn't give him the respect he deserves but I was adamant there was no way he wouldn't be in the Top 5. Time to pay up tomorrow but this is BS! Lol

No Rape allegations last I heard

Link? I can't even get to that part lol

Oh absolutely, we haven't even gotten to the presser yet. No matter what is said everybody is going to be breaking it down with their personal interpretation of what they thought he really meant

If you have the time definitely try to grab a Pizza somewhere...La Hacienda has been mentioned a couple times and that's a great choice. Niagara Falls truly has some of the best Pizzerias you will find anywhere. Even better than the ones actually in Buffalo.

The Bills are the hottest show in town these days!

Does anybody remember/know what happened to Heiny from the BBMB days? He was an entertaining poster with some great stories in those days. Was from Syracuse I believe?

Keep hearing excellent reviews on this Doc. Haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet but I imagine the details of what actually happened have to be pretty wild. Will definitely be checking back in this thread after I watch it.

This situation just makes me thankful we should have a much better pass rush this season

I truly think the people that say Sterling Sharpe doesn't belong in the Hall never watched him play...probably sounds blasphemous now but in his playing days Sterling was the only other receiver on Jerry Rice's level. What Shannon Sharpe said at his induction wasn't just for show

The New England Patriots have no discipline

Haha no that's actually the name of another Bills vintage store in Buffalo

I agree. I love the Sabres but there's no way an organization that has lacked as much success as they have should have as many jerseys retired as they do. Hasek? Absolutely deserving. RJ? 100% but they never should've retired LaFontaine's number and I wasn't thrilled when they announced Miller going up in the rafters especially since they just raised the RJ banner last year. That should be a truly elite accolade that occurs very seldomly

It's true that it's a popularity contest...but the Bills are POPULAR right now. I'm expecting to see 5 or 6 of our guys in there. Allen, Diggs, Tre, Poyer, Hyde, Von all should have legitimate claims to be on the list.

That was in the 80s and 90s...things have tamed down a bit since the Rich Stadium days

Ok cool. I knew about My Cousin Vintage and have been there before and it's really cool but it's also probably been at least 5 or 6 years since I checked it out so I wasn't sure if it was the same place and they were just trying to rebrand themselves. I'll have to check out the other spot sometime too

Did they used to be called My Cousin Vintage?

Were you at the wedding too?

That's been around since the Michael Jordan days and probably even before that

It always blew my mind how many people harped on his stats or even worse what his college stats were....it was like what games are you guys watching and how are you not seeing this off the chart potential he displays!?

I'm cracking up at some of these replies. I knew I would catch some flak for this post and I was still ok with it because I wasn't trying to claim I discovered Josh Allen or anything like that but it's just cool looking back to that first game and seeing a little gleam of hope after all of the suffering we had been through up to that point. You have to keep in mind that this fanbase was entirely split down the middle if not more people not being happy with the Allen pick at the time(I was at the field house the night he was drafted and people were booing the pick and chanting for Rosen). If you guys really wanna criticize someone's opinion, we should dig up all the posters who were claiming Josh Allen was going to be trash

Fair which is why I specifically said nothing earth shattering X's and O's wise but this was the first time I truly felt like we drafted the guy that could be THE guy if that makes any sense. Even to this day it still feels kinda surreal to me that this is where we are. I also remember at least 50% of the fanbase were not sold on him until his breakout year in 2020 but I always saw the flashes of greatness being there from his rookie season.

I just received a thumbs up alert from a post I made after Josh's first preseason game back in 2018 so I was able to go and revisit it, nothing earth shattering as far as X's and O's but I'd say I nailed it! And here we are with one of the most explosive offenses in the entire league ☺️ "The kid is Raw(as was advertised) but my god the potential is there...give him some time to learn the NFL game and improve his fundamentals and bring in some legit Receiver's and we could have a very explosive offense in a couple years" Source: Bills' Preseason Week 1 Game Day vs. Carolina - 7 PM ET at New Era Field - Page 46 - The Stadium Wall Archives - Two Bills Drive

A bit before my time but I always heard about how special those teams were. I would watch that one too!
