Let’s go Mets!

These comments always crack me up, particularly when the Bills are a "brutal matchup" for every team in the league because of Josh Allen.

Some of you like to roll your eyes at me when I talk about luck being a crucial component of playoff success...and the Bills just haven't gotten their share of breaks the way the Chiefs have. These teams are so close and Josh is every bit the playoff QB Mahomes is.

How can this be? They have a tRuE nUmbEr oNe RecEiVeR!

I'm sorry it's difficult to understand. The 13 seconds game. Last year's Chiefs game. I didn't say he would have rings, I said with a couple of breaks he would have had chances to play for rings.

Josh’s performance record in the clutch and playoffs contradicts your assertions he lacks mental toughness and maturity. The truth is he is 3 or 4 plays away from having had a chance to get those same rings. Like it or not, luck is a big part of success and Mahomes has had all of it.

It’s probably a guy who had Baker, Darnold, Rosen, and Jackson ranked higher in the 2018 draft and will die on that hill. The only QB in the NFL more GMs would take over Josh is Mahomes. That’s it. ”NFL Exec” could mean some dude who shines the GM’s shoes, for all we know. Serious question: how many DCs are licking their chops going up against Allen because of all the mistakes he makes? Everybody can get better. These comments are stupid. There are multiple film breakdowns of Allen manipulating defenses at the LOS. This guy sounds like someone who believes the QB position should be played only the way Brady played it. He probably loves Brock Purdy.

LOL so now you’re superstitious? Your little love triangle with Bill from NYC and Billsvet is so cute. Where’s Scottlaw? I honestly hope he’s ok.

Humor. You should give it a try sometime.

Yes. Aside from the obvious answers (playoff games, the comeback) this one will always stick out in my head. My wife and I were at this game and the place was absolutely electric. Fred Jackson was running around with the Bills flag after the game.

“Josh Allen is not a great playoff QB if you discount those playoff games in which he was incredible.”

Philip Rivers has wet dreams about being compared to Josh Allen. I think he just had another kid.

Nah, but a high-powered Ravens offense only scored 3. And that was nearly four years ago…Josh isn’t the same QB now.

I’m pretty excited to be going to my first TC since the days of Fredonia. Thanks to my buddy @Kirby Jackson I’m going on Sunday 7/28.

Part of me wants to agree with you, but I think Beane and McDermott know that it would be criminal to “waste” even a single season of Josh Allen in his prime. They are trying to win the whole damn thing this year as well.

That was a weather game. Wind gusts were crazy.

Agree with just about every word of this. Well said.

So many people including, amazingly, fans on this forum, are sleeping on the Bills this season. It’s incredulous to me. 10-7 is the absolute floor as long as Josh is healthy, and it’s all about getting a little bit of luck (for once) in the playoffs.

Well, that's a shame. Completely underwhelming selection.

Funny, but I doubt it. McD and Tomlin go way back and I'm sure there's a gentleman's agreement not to let things get out of hand.

This times 1000. When I was a kid I thought all of these guys must be so smart. Now I know differently. There are a lot of morons making important decisions in all walks of life -- professional sports included.

Wait-and-see is the only reasonable approach for a fan to take. And predicting good catch numbers for Kincaid and Shakir is hardly pie-in-the-sky thinking. You just hate optimists and think you have to beat everyone down who doesn't immediately bow to your self-lauded superior football intelligence. And when some of us ignore you, you resort to personal attacks. You have your little puppies BillsVet and Bill from NYC to come running to your defense. It's hilarious. I've got no time for your nonsense. I'm sorry we root for the same team. At least I hate the Yankees.

No, please do. I’m tired of the 100+ heat index.

Predicting success for these WRs would be overly optimistic, but it is reasonable to take a wait-and-see approach when the Bills will be operating an offense in which one diva WR won’t demand the lion’s share of targets. I’m looking at Kincaid, Shakir, Cook, and Samuel to wind up with the most targets. Coleman is likely to be next, in the 40-50 catch range. With that production the Bills’ offense should be fine…do you not agree? If the Bills get anything out of the MVS/Claypool/Hamler/Hollins mishmash it’s gravy.
