Really, and you know this because of personal experience or where.......I could guess but why bother.
I’ve lived in both places. -

Yeah, Buffalo and Rochester are just as dangerous as San Francisco by all accounts.
The difference between Buffalo and SF is that it's all over SF. In Buffalo everyone knows where to go to find trouble.

I was just in SF two weeks ago. The place still has some nice areas but overall is a train wreck. Sadly not a surprise to me that something like this has happened. I hope he recovers completely and that they properly charge the attacker with attempted murder. We need to keep this kind of violent criminal off the streets.
Agree. Some parts are safe and others are terrible.
Lots of emotional over corrections in this thread. This was a daylight robbery shooting on an NFL player. That doesn’t happen everywhere. Unless we hear this is gang or drug related, people should be free to judge the city based on their own experiences without being silenced.

This was posted by a Jets fan on their message board.
Josh Allen has the most tds in NFL history to this point
He has the second most playoff tds in NFL playoff history for a QB in his first ten playoff games
He is tied for the 4th most passing touchdowns in NFL history for a QB in his first 6 years
He has the most tds over a 4 year span ( before and after the merger) in NFL history
Allen is second in passing touchdowns since 19 and 20 ( 6 behind mahomes).
If you took out all of Allens rushing production he has still tied Peyton Manning in passing touchdowns in his first 6 years starting, yet has about 30 less int over that same 6 years starting...
He has the lowest int percentage in NFL playoff history
He has the 3rd LEAST amount of turnovers in NFL playoff history for a QB in his first ten playoff games
He has more playoff tds than Burrow Lamar Herbert and Lawrence combined....
If you took out Allens best playoff game and took out burrow and Lamars worst playoff game, Allen still has a higher passer rating, higher td %, higher passing touchdown %, higher qbr ...
If you take away all of Allens wildcard stats
He still has better overall playoff numbers than Lamar and burrow.
Allen since 2020 in the regular season and postseason he has almost 100 more tds than Lamar... A frickin hundred...lol
Allen overall record vs mahomes 3-4 ( since 2020}
Allen record vs mahomes since 21 (3-2)
Allen in those past 5 games vs mahomes
16 tds 1 turnover
Mahomes 11 tds 5 turnovers
Allen has a career playoff passer rating of 100...
Allen at age 28 has already tied the great Jim Kelly in playoff passing touchdowns (21)
Can someone explain wtf is going on???
How did the other Jet fans react to this?
This is actually a better post on Allen’s statistical dominance than any I have ever seen on Bills forums. I believe it would take an outsider with an eye for stats to understand the nonsensical INT narratives when looked at in context.
Allen has GOAT numbers already. When Allen wins a SB he will skyrocket into top 10 all time over night because casuals will begin to see these numbers in a different light.

How is a whipping boy overrated?
There’s a weird cognitive dissonance with Allen. Almost like everybody subconsciously knows he should get more respect than he does, but they don’t want to give it to him. So it manifests in weird situations like this.

being a top 5 pick doesn't mean much. Lot of top QBs drafted have failed and not because of mental issues. I don't understand the term top backup. When he plays he's terrible so how is that a top backup? Trubisky is just not good.
Recency bias man. And you’re too emotion based here.
We can agree to disagree.

no, it's talent. He's not good. How can he be a good backup when he's terrible when he plays?
Talent? He was a top 5 pick. He’s more talented than most backups.
The guy was a top backup 2 years ago and now he’s not? Coming off another failed starter job.
That’s mental.

Something people forget.
Trubisky just went up against the Bears and Steelers. The two teams he flopped on.
This is all mental.
-
Trubisky’s issue is confidence.
Get him a good sports psychologist and he’ll be a good backup for us.

I have the fact I barely watch college football on my side ha ha. All I knew is that there were 4 QBs with hype: Mayfield, Rosen, Allen, Darnold. And the Bills traded to move up and take JA at #7, with 2 QBs gone already. So I was thrilled. And for some reason, I liked him right away when he came to the stage, his demeanor, his interactions with fans. So I was onboard from day 1 ha ha. Ignorance is bliss.
I couldn't understand the "we picked the wrong Josh" crowd that actually wanted Allen to fail to boost their fragile egos! As a fan, you can be mad at the GM for the pick, but since JA was our QB, I was rooting 100% for him to be great, period. He has been even better. His running and leadership have been pleasant surprises.
Fragile egos is right.

Some BS called "low positive". No running. And now, executive.
Jesus, stop meddling with this guy.
The only thing Josh Allen needs to improve on is committing slightly fewer turnovers. Let Josh be Josh.
Thank you.
The guy doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring because Levi Wallace played 10 yards off the line of scrimmage on Travis Kelce.
Allen is a born leader. They need to shut up and learn from him.

I'm not saying he was in the perfect situation to win immediately. I'm saying that there were organizational structure and strategies that afforded him the time to develop long-term career skills in the same way other organizations might not.
Again, my opinion, but:
- Organizational stability (the same staff for the first three years - and yes, including Daboll, who I do not think is "great", but was good and the stability of the same scheme for the first two or three years was advantageous for Josh's development).
- Management that tolerated the growing pains and didn't expect him to be the immediate savior.
- Investment in the O line (which went from horrendous to "sorta OK" in the Morse, Spain, Feliciano et. al.).
- Fans/local media that (mostly) didn't turn on him every time the team lost.
I believe "the Process" - as much as others may disagree, helped Josh find his footing in a way he might not have in NYJ or Cleveland. This goes back to my original point, that coaching and the support system around a new player has a significant impact on long-term outcome.
The Process was definitely good. The Process is faith-based. Build the foundation, build great character, trust in God, and the championships will follow.
But the roster makeup was terrible. Furthermore, I’m a big believer Allen was better for Daboll than visa versa. Not to mention the horrible media narratives that can grate on a players mind. I believe Daboll was anti-Process and all about numero uno.
It was an incredibly difficult first few years which Allen held on for, and even managed to get us to the playoffs.
McDermott will be a SB winning coach, but Allen will be a GOAT. He would’ve succeeded anywhere.

It means that future Super Bowls are a statistical certainty.

The Bills had him beat in the 13 seconds' game. I don't care that the Chiefs had Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill at the time. They had zero shot to win that game unless the Bills messed up 100% which is exactly what happened.
Which is why I roll my eyes at “Allen needs to be more like a CEO”.
All he’s done is win since he got here. Instead of trying to change him we should be trying to learn from him.
12 minutes ago, _Underscore_ said:Thank you for the thoughtful response. I appreciate your opinion (perhaps bringing EJ into it was ill-advised on my part), but your statement alludes to my point. If the individual is a bust under bad coaching, and develops into a hall of famer under good coaching, then is the value of coaching not overblown? History is littered with strong arms that didn't get the second chance. I wonder how many of them would have found their way given time and opportunity.
Look, I'm a huge fan of Josh for a lot of reasons, so I'm not trying to take anything away from the unicorn-like physical and psychological traits. It's true that he has both a ton of superlative physical traits and a great attitude (drive, work ethic, the wisdom to seek help with his mechanics, etc.), but my opinion is that his development here was almost a perfect storm (in a good way). Coaches, GM, OC, owner and fan base gave him an almost perfect environment to flourish. If he had a coach that encouraged "Sugar Rush Josh", I'm not as sure that a serious coach would have taken the chance rather than pick a fresh one off the tree.
I believe that success is generally when everything (everybody) goes right. It only takes one week link to fail and it's failure - and early-career coaching is one of those potential weak links. Thank goodness we're finally free of that cycle.
Anyway, thanks for the good dialog. Cheers
What perfect storm? The Kelvin Benjamin and Robert Foster storm? The great Daboll coaching his way to unemployment in NY?
Revisionist history. Allen had one of the worst rookie situations in recent memory. No QB had ever come out of a situation like that unscathed in a long time. And the ones that have were pro ready, and not raw like him.

Like Vivek said, they’re timing the announcement so that the new candidate is still in a “honeymoon” when Election Day comes around.
The stories are already being written:
”New Democrat candidate gives amazing speech at DNC reenergizing the party!”
”New Democrat candidate is an unlikely rising star polling great with the public!”
“New Democrat candidate SHOCKS Trump in debate. Questions arise about Trump”s cognitive faculties.”
“New Democrat candidate gets ringing support from ______.”
“New Democrat candidate has polls showing they will complete the unlikely comeback!”
Like Ackerman said, the media is like a sports team with owners and coaches running plays for their journalists.

I guess. I don’t think he’s been doing much of anything himself the past 4 years.
It’s less a coup and more a puppet exchange for a shadow government.

You can play this all day. What if God knows that Trump is needed for 2024-2028, so he had to lose 2020 for it to happen.
Looking at the mocking laughs on your post tells me that atheism is a requirement for being a Democrat in this day and age. -
Trump said the polls showed Biden as being the best Dem choice, even with all the cognitive problems. Are there any polls out there that showcase that?
Could the Dems be stretching the Biden dropout as long as possible so that the new candidate gets rushed out quickly for the election before the public does their due diligence?

Have you ever considered that different individuals have different conditions under which they can perform optimally? Some people can work/learn 24/7, and the more time they devote to it, the better the outcome. However, others need a break from time to time to be in their optimal shape when required. There is a reason why European companies require their employees to take vacations.
My wife and I were lucky and have now both tenured faculty positions at a research university ranked around #100 nationwide. We are both successful in our research resulting in publications and grants. My wife is working 24/7, and she would not have it any other way. When our two kids were small, I was actually often charged to take them on a weekend hiking trip so that Mama could work.
On the other hand, my optimal schedule is quite different. Since my PhD thesis 35 years ago, I have been working all day Monday to Friday; however, I need the weekends to recuperate and do something completely different, such as kayaking, birdwatching, or taking the kids for a hike. There had been occasions, mostly due to deadlines, where I had to also write proposals on the weekend; they were not my best attempts.
In this context, there are a few questions I would like to ask you. I should emphasize that I do not expect any answer.
1. Do you think that your own job performance is optimal?
2. If not, would a salary increase improve it?
3. At your work, do you supervise other employees? Do you have to grade their performance? If yes, are you more strict or lenient?
4. Do you have any specific suggestions where you think that Josh should put more effort in?
You’re talking to a dedicated troll that roots for another team.-

So if you were to recruit somebody to shoot at an ex-president with a secret service detail, you would pick this 20 year old nerd to worked as a nutritionist at a retirement community and was rejected from the rifle team in high school because he was a bad shot?
It’s not easy to recruit a kamikaze.
This has MK Ultra patsy written all over it if we want to go the conspiracy direction.
The focus should be on his parents. Do they have any weird connections? And are they his “parents”?
