T.E.

I would just play like you would any other player. They tried this method with Von Miller, and I never really noticed any super-rejuvenated playoff energy from him.

It made a ton of sense from a team morale standpoint. The Bills went on to score more points than in any season in team history and Allen won the first MVP ever for a Bills passer. It didn't hurt the team at all.

He could be very effective niche player by being targeted in the redzone to come down with contested balls, but that is just too crazy an idea for a 6'5" WR with Division I college basketball experience.

All jokes aside, what is that beeper thing he's always checking? He seemingly does it every time the camera is on him for more than 3 seconds. Also, Happy Birthday, coach! I give a tough time occasionally, but you're a good man.

We suck at it despite having the biggest QB in football. Typical. I was over the AFC Championship is a couple days, if that long. I've seen the writing on the wall and know the story. Miscues, bad officiating, bizarre coaching decisions, and general choking always rear their heads when the Bills are in an incredibly important game. This is been the case with numerous coaches, rosters, and even over two separate ownership groups.

It really doesn't matter if they can't at least get to the Super Bowl. I don't hear a lot of Miami, Houston, and San Diego fans reminiscing about all the great wild card games Marino, Moon, and Rivers played in during their careers.

Cleveland said multiple times that they were not going to trade him. His options were to holdout, which would guarantee him nothing, or sign a gigantic contract, which guaranteed him $120 MM. Not a tough choice.

Just like any other job. LMAO at all the people mad at him because "I thought he wanted to win a Super Bowl!"

The more, the better. Night games suck, in my opinion.

You could make the argument that playing Thanksgiving Day games on crappy dome turf may have cost us Super Bowls in 2021 and/or 2022.

Extensions for Benfird, Allen, and Cook should've been prioritized before Rousseau, but I think his age has a lot to do with it. If they feel he is entering his prime, it makes sense to lock him up long term. He's not a consistent pass rusher yet, that must be said.

Someone will pay him that, unfortunately.

Hard to make a bunch of plays when QBs avoid throwing to your side.

All of these guy are expecting insane money, all are on the downside of their prime, and all will cost significant assets to get. Beane would essentially be betting his job that we win the SB within two years by pulling off a move like that. I don't think he's willing to do it.

He tried!

Kirk actually specifically did say this to Allen. https://sports.yahoo.com/christian-kirk-says-bills-qb-010805615.html

Didn't he supposedy tell Allen that he has only lived in hot weather and didn't want to move anywhere cold, or am I thinking of someone else?

It was proven to be the right decision, unless you want to blame Rob Johnson for the ensuing kickoff after he led the game-winning drive.

The defense won those games. Rob Johnson also effectively won the Titans game, which most people forget. Flutie had the same opportunity at Miami the year before in the playoffs and predictably turned it over in the red zone, something that lost multiple games for the Bills in 1999.

I mean, he orchestrated a game-winning drive. Not his fault they screwed it up, like always.

We probably would've been down by double digits at that point if the Little General had started that game. He was brutal in '99, especially towards the end of the year.

I would argue the opposite is true. Most Bills fans talk about him like he's Jonathan Ogden. This thread is a perfect example.

Like the government or the mafia, they don't want anyone somehow turning a profit on anything without getting their cut.

Tom Brady being on PEDs for the last half of his career (with no consequences) fooled a lot of people into believing that all good QBs should be playing at a high level into their mid-40s.

Really hope the Bills win the Super Bowl soon so that I can stop watching the NFL altogether. It's now a perversion of a once great game.
