The former players are so good man, I mean where else are you going to get stories from 2009 and constant ranking of players on every show, every day, with zero statistics or film to support their arguments? 

 

I get what you're saying, but I like Shady. He is constantly backing up the Bills and Allen.

Some guys are just on the right team to ever be in a position to win it all. Eli Manning is a prime example of that. The guy has 2 championships and was a solid QB. never exactly great though. The team he played on flipped the switch and played lights out. 
 

2007 they won both championship games by a combined 40 points. 34 points allowed. 
 

2011 both championship games by 41 combined points. 34 points allowed. 
 

That’s an average of 20-17 score line over 4 games. Very close to the actual ones. 
 

We give Josh a defense that’s capable of holding the best team in the conference and best team in the opposite to just 17ppg?
 

Yeah. We come away with a title easily and people, which is sad to say, finally put respect on Josh’s name universally in greatness conversations.

Those who haven't listened to Dion Dawkins' answer about what is different about this year's team in its entirety should really do so.

It is IMMENSELY interesting, to say the least.

Sure seems like those of us who observed that Josh Allen looked the most miserable he has ever looked last year were onto something. Conversely, those observing that he looks as happy as he has ever looked this year are also on to something.

As the QB goes, so goes the team. Things are good in Josh land right now (though we can all only guess at what was going wrong last year and what's better this year), and thus, things are going well for the Buffalo Bills. At least, that's the way Dion tells it.

I agree, I'm not sure what the Rams pass Defense is like....but I could see this being a massive Amari Cooper game

If anything else, it forces teams to prepare more against us 

Josh is going to force feed Amari after the lateral was a bonus to his fantasy team hahahaha

Throw him a bone or two , for sure. Be the right thing to do

Looking forward to Cooper and Allen further developing their symbiosis (?) lol

 Allens seem to be syncing with most all the balls catchers etc. Get Cooper going , and everyone else will eat , better.

Defenses will respect him hard if he gets hot.

 Bills Offense against Rams defense ?

 I will leave that for the more expert here 🤩

Your point stands regardless and I agree Josh is gonna have great conditions to take some shots when available, but SoFi stadium isn’t a dome; it’s a canopy.

watched this yesterday and now I really kind of hope he doesn't win MVP just to watch these guys continue to fumble their way trying to explain what they see on the field vs these team accomplishments masquerading as qb milestones

Apologizes if I missed it, but did we ever get clarification on exactly what Keon's injury is? Break? Ligament pull? 

Asked what’s he doing: work the range of motion,

 

Asked what he did to accelerate the healing: nothing he can do, its a bone, it will do what it wants.

Gotta say - the 4:00 slot is my favorite.  Not as much pressure as a night game, but a little more prominent.  And it's easier on my conscience to drink later afternoon over early afternoon.

I'm not sure what she is talking about "mentoring" there...they are simply doing some drills.

 

 

Still no injury update for Thursday officially by the Bills?

Exactly. Keep him for emergencies, but work on making him a DB coach next year.

A lot of the interviews today all had the same theme - McDermott is less robotic, less of a drill sergeant, and the guys, in turn, are having more fun. 
 

Von said it a few times - McDermott has reduced the anxiety.

Let's hope that carries over into the post-season. If it does, good things . . .

He is there for emergencies, and to help coach up younger guys, but I also think he is there for Micah. I think this team is beginning to really believe they are going to the Super Bowl and I think part of the reason they signed Micah was to bring him along for the ride...as someone who deserves to join in.

Is Emmanuel Forbes gonna play?  He’s the skinniest guy in the NFL but don’t let the legs fool you, he can run like the wind.  But i’d like to see him come up in the box and take on Derrick Henry running downhill.  That would be entertainment.

 

 

Someone get him to Chefs every night for chicken parm

Dan Marino didn't get any hardware yet he's better than those guys.  And I'd take Josh Allen over Marino.
