Klaus Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I am going to define "must watch" in my own terms. On 3rd and long, I no longer have to look away knowing another punt is coming, instead I watch to see what sort of magic Josh pulls off when the DEs are coming at him with their ears pinned back. 2

He's not talked about much outside of WNY or the hardcore NFL media types. People know of him, but they aren't fascinated by Josh Allen like they are Baker or Lamar Jackson...or now Daniel Jones. If Josh looks great this weekend and the Bills beat New England, that will change. Josh has a pretty decent following among the MWC schools that he played in and against - California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Idaho. I go to many MWC games and Josh is brought up from opposing fans all of the time. They are watching and following him.

All of my co-workers mention, "You must be excited about the Bills and Josh Allen." It's not just "The Bills" anymore... it's "The bills and Josh Allen"

Some told me we got the best QB in the draft. I think you are wrong, most fans know most players, especially the QB's.

MJS Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 47 minutes ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: there is HYPE and then there is too much HYPE Get your feet back on the ground fellow Bills Fans if the Bills get crushed . It won't look good. There is still things Josh needs to polish up What do you think in this article or the comments in the thread are inaccurate or "too much hype"? These are all just observations. Nobody is saying that Allen is an elite QB. Nobody is saying the Bills will win the Superbowl. But Allen IS an exciting player to watch and the Bills ARE undefeated and look to be on the right track towards consistent success. I haven't seen a single poster, even the ones that think we are going to beat the Patriots on Sunday and win 12+ games this year, who have claimed that Allen is a finished product or does not have things to "polish up".
Saxum Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 1 hour ago, MJS said: I gotcha, but fans usually watch their team regardless. I think the point is that fans of other teams are beginning to see Allen as an exciting player to watch regardless of fan loyalty. Absolutely. So sick of the check down QB's that are scared to throw an INT. Tyrod was a decent QB, but his hesitance to throw the ball was maddening ALL the time. So glad we have a guy who has to rein it in instead of being coaxed by the coaches to take more chances. That was exactly my issue with Tyrod. Even when he needed to take chances throwing he didn't. In fact he regressed from when he was starter and usually that is coach telling him not to take chances.

Baltimore scored 49 on Miami and it could have been more if they hadn't let up in the 4th. Doesn't mean they're great.

Interesting comment from person at work: He was surprised Josh Allen did not get the Angry Run award against Bengals and he expected him to get it every week since he seems to want to mix it up with defense. I asked if he watched this week and he said "No, just saw name of winner." "That is our rookie TE who caught a ball from him." "Oh" was his response. 1

He also possesses the brainpower, humility, work ethic and desire to be great. Allen is showing this year he can get better. He has shown it since he came back from the injury last year. It’s exciting times to be a Bills fan and Allen is a big reason why. Your statement is precisely where I sit with Allen right now. This is indeed, a very exciting time. I added a couple of traits that I think are important, and complete this well. I hope you don't mind.

HOUSE Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Only 3 things I ask #1 On the Patriots 30, 4th and 1 Do not kick field goals against this team #2 The Patriots will make adjustments at half time, change it up #3 Do not give the ball to Tom Brady with 1:23 left in the 4th, in a 6 point game, we will lose. Brady launches those long passes looking for pass interference. Oldest trick in the book.... .. Edited September 27, 2019 by HOUSE
