  1. Tough call, but I feel like Josh has proven he’s going to score points regardless of the role players, so I’d focus on players to help us stop other teams.

     

    Clements

    Byrd

     

     Honorable mention for Pat Williams and London Fletcher

    Neither of those are drought era players. Both played in the playoffs. 

    And it's drought not draught.

    They also played on the team during the drought, no?

    Wouldn't be the first College Basketball star to transition to the NFL...

     

    Usually they end up at TE tho like Antonio Gates or Jimmy Graham or Tony Gonzalez...not sure I've ever heard of one becoming a left tackle before...

     

    6'9" 275 lbs currently and his body is huge and could easily support 320+ lbs with likely little loss of mobility...

     

    He has gotten the attention of NFL scouts, people in college personnel roles and GMs big time apparently with his performance at the tournament...dude looks like a ballerina in the low post.

    I remember one college TE who became an okay LT for the Bills and Eagles.

     

    Maybe DJ could first become a TE and then become a LT.

    Disagree he won't ever get one. But I'm curious, which year do you think Josh should've won?

    Manning had the MVPs, Brady had the SBs. In this case, Mahomes has the MVps AND the SBs. It's the not the same thing. 

    The (arguably) two best QBs in the game right now meeting multiple times in the playoffs. Close enough.

    Mahomes has made four SB (edit: 3. thanks Billl) and won two. He has MVPs. Let's not do this yet. 

    Meh. Brady has (and did way back when as well) way more Super Bowl appearances than Peyton, and we did it with them. Might as well start sometime.

    And with a few exceptions (Rich Eisen, Jim Rome) there definitely seems to be an anti-Bills/anti-Josh Allen sentiment...and that's a good thing. 

     

    The average take today goes this way: Dolphins were injured, Josh was bad, Miami should have won but they blew it. On several shows the Bills/Dolphins game and Buffalo's miracle climb to the 2nd seed wasn't even the lead story. But I'm fine with this. I hope the Bills are lucky and Josh is "bad" all the way to las Vegas. Last year the Bills were the media darlings and we fell short. This year our "window is closed" blah blah.  But I always felt like Buffalo succeeds more when they are disrespected. So I say keep it coming.

     

     

    I’ve actually heard a lot of takes about how we win despite multiple crucial errors. The types of mistakes we make, one or two would crush other teams, yet we survive multiple of these. And the games we have lost, could have easily been wins (for the most part). Imagine how unstoppable this team will be in the playoffs if they avoid the mistakes. Josh Allen is superhuman and can carry this team to a SB victory.

     

     That’s what I’m hearing.

    (Please don't merge this with the thread complaining about the Bills/Eagles officiating.  This is different, with wider scope, and not limited to the Bills.)

     

    There have always been suspicions that the NFL is fixed, but this year seems almost blatent.  There have been a ton, a ton of badly officiated games this season, and not just involving the Bills.  The NFL is in bed with Vegas and the gambling apps, that much is fact.

     

    So, my question is, what do you believe?  I don't believe the league is outright scripted.  But I do believe they have preferences, and are not afraid to unleash the officials to get the outcomes they want, based on trends.

     

    I hate to be that guy.  I hate to think about conspiracy theories.  But the officiating all around the league has been laughably bad/questionable the whole season.

    Are you one of those people who believe we live in the Matrix?

     

    Ohhhhh…or are any of us actually “people”?

     

    You think that’s air you’re breathing right now?

    I cant believe Kincaid just passed Watkins for lead in Rookie receptions.  I had such high hopes for Watkins.  One of the few picks I wanted the Bills to make no matter what the cost and they made the pick. Its ok to be wrong I guess lol

    Should have and could have been Khalil Mack.

    Reality 

    2023 Bills Oponents 19/20 = 95%
    Tyler Norwood 18/23 = 78.3%

    I’d love to reply and continue this conversation, but I’m going to opt out since you seem to fall in line with the multiple others on this board that only use idiotic alternative names when discussing players and coaches.

  9. His stats are essentially the same as every other season he’s been on the team. Slight variations which will likely even out by the end of the year, putting him exactly where he’s been the past three years when everyone loved him. Let’s stop negatively overreacting to every little thing.

  10. I’d love to know who actually started this play. Do the Eagles get credit just because they do it the best? I’ve seen several mentions of them inventing it last year, but I specifically remember Daboll calling this play and it was Knox pushing Allen. That would have to have been the 2021 season at the latest.
