    I sincerely hope that Josh is fully healed from the concussion, but my experience is telling me he's not, after just a week.  I hope I'm wrong, and that he doesn't take a hit on Sunday that will give him second impact syndrome.  Godspeed JA.

     

    I'm not a neurologist or any other kind of medical professional but I don't believe that brains heal themselves in a week or so. I also believe that concussion damage is cumulative over time. So as long as Josh is feeling up to it and has been medically cleared to play by actual medical professionals, I think that is all one can ask or expect. Hopefully, Josh doesn't become "concussion prone". However, football at every level is a physically demanding and somewhat dangerous occupation. Even with improvements to helmet technology one has to realize that our brains are floating around inside our skulls and even better helmets are not gonna change that basic reality. Our brains are not designed for such abuse long term.

  2. The debate really is more about the value of having Belichick/Brady vs McD/Allen IMHO. I won't be disappointed no matter what the final score is this weekend. Allen is still learning on the job while Brady is a multiple Superbowl winning QB, maybe the best QB all time. Assuming NE and KC are the two best teams in the AFC, how good are the Bills? We may get some clues to this question this weekend. This season has a long ways to go and injuries are gonna be important as the season goes along. Are the Bills better than say Baltimore? I think we should know more about where the Bills stand in the AFC by the end of this season. They are certainly in fine shape cap wise for next season and with another solid draft like this years draft could be in a position to challenge KC/NE next season. Assuming the Bills make the playoffs which is still a big assumption at this point how will they fare against these two teams in the playoffs assuming they do get that far? Let's just enjoy the ride...

    2 games or more lead on the Browns Steelers Jags Chargers and Titans just in case we have to "settle" for a Wild Card.

    And the Bills play the @Browns, @Steelers and @Titans. Those three games could be key to getting in as a wildcard playoff team...

  4. Have any of the other TE's who were available in FA done anything much yet? No GM hits on every FA that he signs. On the plus side , we signed two top notch WR's (Brown and Beasley) and an OL that is giving Allen time to throw (Morse, Feliciano, Nsekhe, and Spain) not to mention Gore. I'd say Beane had quite a good group of FA signings. Chill out!

    With respect to the Mosley absence I disagree. It made a difference on the Jets defense. It's not worth quibbling over because in my view the major reason why the Jets lost and we won was because their kicker was grossly inept. If he makes the extra point and the reasonable field goal kick they would have won that game.   

     

    You should also NOT discount the possibility that had the Jets made the FG and extra point the Bills might have had the ball last and went on a game winning TD drive... or at least a game winning FG as time expired... Bottom line BILLS WON...

    Can't Lie. I'd love to have him in the RB rotation , but I'd have him as a 1 year rental , see how it works out and if he's a long term fit. 

    Obviously the compensation has to be reasonable. Could see Beane throwing a 3rd like he did with KB. 

    Would be a nice piece for a team that has a legit shot at a deep playoff run

     

     

    If he won't play for 10mil with the Chargers in Cali what makes anyone think he would come here for roughly the same money? Sure the Bills have the money/cap space but while the Bills may be headed for a wild card they are not one RB away from a Superbowl. Simply not gonna happen.

  7. One should remember too that the NFL has had beer advertising on each and everyone of it's tv broadcasts as well as in stadium advertising forever. Drinking beer and watching football has gone hand in hand since it's inception. I never did go to games to get drunk out of my mind and nowadays prefer to stay home and watch the games on my big screen TV while enjoying some liquid refreshment or going to a friends place to do so. 

  8. I'm not a big fan of Cowherd. But one has to remember that to the rest of the league, all they really know is that this team has sucked for the last 20 years. It takes time to change peoples minds. How many Bills fans have doubted that Josh Allen was going to amount to anything? Even now, one bad game and they will go back to their belief that he is not an accurate QB. This is a young up and coming team. They, like Josh are not a finished product, even if they make the playoffs. All I have expected to see this year is fairly constant improvement. With another good draft after this season they might have a shot at finally challenging New England for the division. It doesn't happen overnight. People look at their 2-0 start and say "but they beat two bad NJ/NY teams in the Jets and the Giants". And if and when they beat Cinci this week at home people will be saying that all the Bills have done is beat 3 bad teams. A lot of people are already saying that there are really only two good teams in the AFC this year.(New England and KC) It's not going to be easy to change peoples minds. Let's just enjoy the season and not worry too much about what outsiders think and say. The naysayers will start coming around the more wins this team gets...

    I just can't see giving up much for a 31yr old WR with his injury history and needing to be resigned after this season. Maybe a 4th at best? Even if he would sign an extension immediately I'm not sure how much you could commit to him financially at this time. Doesn't sound like he would be ready to play yet for several weeks. Is he really worth the trouble?
