  1. If the Bills Backer tailgate party is anything like the one they threw in Kansas City a few years back everybody will be in for an absolute blast.  There was plenty of booze and food to go around for everybody so don't get nervous.  Just try to show up with at least a case of beer to contribute.  I also have a feeling Bills fans might be taking over many Wisconsin bars all weekend just a hunch :rolleyes:

    You must be one of those fans that consider the modern era to be post Super Bowl run.  

     

    Bills 41  Oilers 38   F-OT   Period ... Exclamation point.

    Yeah absolutely.  The 80s/90's were on a whole different level!  I guess I was referring to the 2000's/playoff drought era and it is actually pretty sad that a week 3 win ranks so high up there but that's what we've been dealt with since 99.

     

    Another game that gets honorable mention though is the 2002 Snow game against Miami where Ricky Williams ran all over us but Bledsoe and Moulds had a huge day.  There was just something magical about that day, looking back at it now that game was actually much closer to the 90s era than the current era and it still had more of the old school charm at that point before the game became over commercialized and social media showed up into the picture.  Was at that one with my Dad and brother, a memory I will never forget!

    I wouldn't compare him to Brady personally.  Brady usually makes the intelligent play and tries to minimize risks.  Brady can seemingly put the ball wherever he wants.  Josh Allen throws caution to the wind and will try and make the impossible play...and you know what, he does fail sometimes turning into an INT but then he will come back and make the impossible possible with a run for his  life scramble and 65 yard heave downfield across his body to the receiver for a touchdown.

    I see some early similarities to Brett Favre.  In his prime Favre was the most fun Quarterback to ever watch play football

  4. There will still be a ton of growing pains I'm sure but the kid just seems to have "IT"...the ones that have "IT" show flashes of "IT" pretty fast.  I remember Brett Favre's first game against the Bengals.  He was super raw but he showed he had natural instincts to play QB in the NFL.  I really think we are seeing that with Allen already.  I never once had the same feeling about Trent Edwards, JP Losman, EJ Manuel, or Tyrod that i do with Allen.  This truly feels like the arrival of a special Quarterback for once.

    I live in WNY and the teams you mentioned have a much bigger following than Buffalo. From Rochester southeast to Bath and west from there to Jamestown is Bills country. But Many fans picked up other teams simply because they got tired of watching the Bills lose. It has been this way since the last SB loss to Dallas. It is great to see BillsBacker groups from all over posted on the board. Many of my friends are not Bills fans and don't understand how I can be  after the dismal losing seasons and the 4 SB losses. I have raised my son on the Bills, taking him to both preseason and regular season games. But his interest is on the individual players of the team and he has no emotional connection to the Bills. (Thanks Fantasy Football)

    The same can be said for some WNYer's as sad as that is

    I agree talent in any organization is important, but name me a successful organization that does not have a specific culture that guides their performance 

     

    I don't think having a good culture is a bad thing but I'm just beyond sick of hearing about it.  Did we really need to hear from Eric Wood that the culture here is doing fine?  What we need is some elite level talent right now.  This whole culture talk is starting to feel like a caricature of itself IMO.

    Culture is such a BS word.  Culture is great when a team wins.  I’m sure there a bunch of good, hard working guys on this team.  They just have little talent.

    A-Freaking-Men! I was just about to post that Culture isn't the problem here....it's a severe lack of talent!!!

     

    Culture is important to a degree...in the sense you would hate to see a team built like the Pittsburgh Steelers full of talent but also full of a bunch of divas which has created a huge obstacle for them getting back to the Super Bowl with this bunch....but at the same time we also shouldn't be trying to field a team with the boy scouts of America either.  Some of this stuff that McDermott and Beane start talking about in regards to culture comes across so hokey and reminds me of something you would see from a high school coach.  These guys have to really start putting an emphasis on bringing some premium talent in here.  I'm not saying to bring in divas or thugs but lets get back to the days of building a good football team with good players first and foremost.

    Yeah they did a piece on billsmafia last year and it was pretty good. But then they always rip on the team every chance they get. I mean they are from Boston so they’re mostly pats fans. It’s just annoying 

    If you know what their content and demographic is then it's easy to see why the "Bills Mafia" shenanigans is a gold mine for their page. It is what it is, they post that kind of stuff for all different teams but there just happens to be a lot of incidents with Bills fans.  It's kind of embarrassing but I came to accept there are a lot of jackasses that are Bills fans a long time ago.  I think most normal people realize that the people who end up in these videos are "caricatures"of real Bills fans anyway.  

  9. I remember when we drafted JP Losman there were articles being written saying JP had a Brett Favre/Jim Kelly presence to him and I never saw that at all when I started following his career once he got here...to this day I don't understand where those comparisons came from.  But for the first time since Kelly himself I can see some similarities in Josh.  I just hope he can continue to develop his talent.  I don't question his heart or intangibles.

    Whose idea was it that we get a generational talent every year now?  It was a good idea.  I remember back in the day waiting for what seemed like a generation or so.

    That phrase is getting thrown around and used the wrong way too much these days.  Every great player that comes out of the draft is not a "generational" player.  McDavid is.  And luckily for Sabres fans it looks like we actually do finally have a generational player in Dahlin.
