Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 51 minutes ago, BuffaloBaumer said: Let me first say that i went to all the games during the 90s and have huge respect for all. Bruce Smith was always my favorite and I can honestly say that Allen has gone straight to the top. He embodies everything this city has ever wanted and I have no doubt that when he reaches a Super Bowl, it will be all business. There will be no partying, bickering, etc...he is an absolute warrior and has the personality that every fan craves. What a game today, just so fired up for those guys in the locker room!!!!!! Off to Mexico!!!!!! Kyle Williams is mine but it could be Josh when its all said and done. Its funny the Superbowl guys were never my favorite , maybe because of all the divaness. Form the 90s my favourite players were Ted Washington, Bryce Paup , Phil Hansen and pete Metzellars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaenon Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I remember when there were swirling rumors the day of the draft that Cleveland was going to take Allen #1 overall. What would've happened then? Jets stay with Darnold, Bills draft Baker or Rosen or skip on QB overall? Good thing we don't ever need to know! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think Allen may have passed Thurman for #1 on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 According to two articles in The Athletic this is what Josh said to Harrison Phillips in the tunnel after the game, “I don’t know who the ***** they thought I was, Harry!” Allen yelled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Agreed. 100%. Favorite Bill ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yup. He is an absolute pleasure to watch. Insane physical tools and a huge desire and commitment to win. Seems to "get" our stinky little corner of the nation. I really wish he would have gotten that Tampa win. That would have been a legendary notch in his career 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thurman Thomas still my favorite followed by Bruce Smith. Allen is rapidly climbing my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman and Bruce never had to win anything by themselves.. Allen is willing this team to be a great team with a bunch of nobody's (at least as per the league). He is a supreme leader.

Go back and watch some games from the 90's. SuperBowl XXV was almost won by Thurman himself. If Talley could make a single tackle during the game, Thurman is SuperBowl MVP. I'm not taking anything away from Allen. You can go back and check but he is the QB I wanted pre-draft over everyone else. He is on a trajectory only a handful of players in NFL history have ever approached. Just needs more games playing at this level to be an all time great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillMafia716ix Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Top 3 QB in the game right now behind Brady, Rodgers. Josh had a statement game today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I agree. I've been a fan since 1984, caught the entire 90s run in person, and Josh is without a doubt my favorite player to this point. Loved Thurm, Bruce and especially Andre (before Super Bowl XXV), but Josh is a cut above in the pure joy to watch category. You only see a couple of dudes like this in an entire lifetime IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 8 hours ago, billsfan89 said: It’s hard not to love Josh. He is such a likable player. Both in terms of his personality and style of play. Here is hoping the Bills can put the team around Josh to get him a Super Bowl! I have heard fans of other AFC East teams say that Allen is unlikeable and cocky. They say the same about McDermott. I was surprised at first, but I can kind of see it. Allen does talk trash sometimes and he certainly is confident. It's easy to hate the QB that beats you a lot. Can't say I understand the McDermott hate, though. He mostly just stands there and claps for his players. He has only gotten animated with the refs a couple of times. He is usually pretty calm. That first pats game was the worst I have ever seen him. It's interesting to try to think of certain players we love as Bills fans from the perspective of other fans. For instance, I could see them hating Diggs because Diggs talks a lot and gets animated sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
