Rookie Josh vs Packers

[Riverboat Ritchie]

Was at that game and brought my son who was 10 at the time. We had the great plan of him in a blue cheese foam hat and me with the chicken wing to do a dip when the Bills scored. We never got that shot. Hearing Go Pack Go still gives me ptsd. Green Bay was awesome though and amazing venue and cool fans. Go Bills.

Josh Allen didn't have a lot of answers that day, mainly because he didn't even know what the questions were 😂

 

I was listening to a sports commentary where the guy mentioned Allen was saying back then that he was calling out protections that did not exist and yelling things like, "block left".

 

His OL was looking back at him like "whaaa?"

 

It has been a roller coaster, Bills Mafia has had his back, and he has indeed come a long way.

Packers fans are very similar to Bills fans, although I think that they are nicer to opposing fans than many Bills fans are.  In addition to that game, I was at one other Bills-Packers preseason game a few years before that one.  Both times were great and the Wisconsin people were awesome.  Hopefully, Bills fans will return the favor to my 2 Wisconsin friends who are meeting me in Buffalo for the game.  They are Bills fans when the Packers are not playing.

 

That game in Green Bay was right after rookie Josh had the big performance in Minnesota when the Bills were such a huge underdog, so I was hoping for a repeat performance.  Unfortunately, it didn't happen that day, but we've had many since then and will have many more for years to come.  It was worth the wait!

Perspective 

Who needs perspective about Josh?

That’s like marrying a supermodel and looking at videos of your old girlfriend

Blue pants! See!

I bet 5k on us to win that game. Tough memories

It was the last time he played the packers who he is about to play next week. Interesting perspective for some, it’s ok if you don’t need it

I was there.  And also there for a Lambeau Trent Edwards experience

I suspect Allen remembers just how bad he played in that game.  And Allen has a lot of Thurman in him when it comes to such things.  It's going to be a tough night for the Packers in a couple of weeks.

He was a different QB after the injury against Houston…. He really flashed towards the end of that 2018 season… even against the Patriots in week 16 I thought he made some really good throws that his receivers just plain dropped. 

Yep.  Remember the bomb he threw that Foster lost in the sun and it went right through his hands? That would have been an 80 yard TD pass.

My brother always tells the story of the QB on his team when he played center.  He called the audible "BLACK! BLACK! SAME PLAY!"... needless to say it didn't work.

Hop in the way back machine. I don’t want to watch that whole game but this is enough. Honestly I think my one memory of it was that Micah Hyde got hurt early on and left the game which sucked because it was a revenge game of sorts for him. 
 

 

 

I was there, and this kind of reaffirms my feelings after that game. Seeing it again makes me want to call a hotline of some kind. I hope they don’t put me on hold again!!!

On my son’s freshman team his best friend was the QB because he played QB in little league. When they discovered his center was a girl, the HS ribbing began. It was fierce and relentless! 😂

That was hard to watch. Completely different player. But didn’t have much support. OL was weak and WR were awful.

I went to this game....fun experience overall but the game blew chunks

Ouch, that list of offensive linemen hurt my eyes.
