@Buffalo716 lighten up. You think we need a lesson in Syracuse basketball history vs. UB? You guys created a Syracuse thread and I’m here to crash it. UB is one of my two alma maters and I’ll gloat all I want!

Did I hear correctly that the Pats*** haven’t lost three in a row in 16 years? Ok, Buffalo, time to send a message. Let’s start the changing of the guard.

Woo hoo! Horns up!

Besides a record?

I love that this is a BUFFALO sports forum and I now get to troll a Syracuse thread! Horns up! Go UB!!!!

The Bills fully expect and want Allen to be able to make plays from the pocket. If you have been watching the last two games you see that he is starting to do just that. In my opinion Allen's potential is far beyond Jackson's (or Tyrod's). The surprising thing to most is just how athletic Allen is -- which should only be viewed as a positive. He clearly wants to make big plays in the passing game, as evidenced by his average air yards per attempt. We can all get together in five years and see who was right.

RIP. She certainly didn't look healthy in recent years.

Ha. It was 22 out of 27 in which they've earned points (17-5-5) for a total of 39 points over that span.

I'm not necessarily directing this at you, but it's a shame that Allen's mobility and rushing statistics are essentially being used against him in the evaluation of his QB play, while at the same time Lamar Jackson (with a much better supporting cast on offense) is being praised for his running ability while posting very modest passing numbers.

Yeah, Paul must be drunk. The Sabres have earned 39 points in their last 27 games. Edit: or now I understand what he was trying to say; over their past 27 games the Sabres have earned points in 22 of them (for a total of 39).

Very well said, and I commend you for posting this as one of Allen's biggest pre-draft detractors.

Stop complaining about your date night issues.

And called those who do "degenerates." Try using actual words sometime.

It's usually not a good idea to call people "degenerates" who do something you readily admit you don't understand. And lottery tickets aren't gambling -- they are, literally, the equivalent of throwing money in the garbage can.

He's doing both.

LET'S GO, BUFFALO!!!! Time to claim the "best college BB team in NY" title.

No shite! I've just started watching the NHL Network shows again. Loved seeing Barry Melrose in the studio saying "the Sabres are for real" after the Bruins game. He also said the Eichel-Skins-Reinhart line is "must see TV."

Don't bet on him running much. Belichick will employ a defense designed to prevent the big runs, figuring he can bait Allen into bad throws. The key to this game will be Josh's recognition of coverage and making smart decisions.

Boston sports: #1 -- Red Sox #2 -- Red Sox #3 -- Red Sox #4 -- Celtics #5 -- Bruins #6 -- Boston College #7 -- Northeastern #8 -- Patriots***

How ironic!

I read that too. Great story, but the key will be whether Foster retains that work ethic now that he is experiencing success. Plenty of guys have worked to "get there" and then coasted...hope he learned a permanent lesson about what it takes to play in the NFL.

You're going to have to try harder to convince us you're a Bills fan.

Good point. Add the fact that his teammates and coaches have, quite literally, raved about his leadership and ability. Matt Patricia called Allen a "great" player in his postgame PC yesterday. The Bills fans who are also invested in being Allen detractors are just going to need to figure out what they are more interested in doing -- rooting for the Bills and an exciting young QB, or touting their pathetic pessimism on message boards. I continue to believe that if the internet had been around when Jim Kelly joined the Bills there would have been at least 20% of the fan base who would have wanted him benched.

Actually 4-4 in games he started and finished. He left in the 3rd Q of the Houston game with the Bills trailing 10-3. The Bills scored a FG on the drive on which he was injured to make it 10-6, then we know what happened afterwards. QB wins and losses are solely based upon who started the game so it is what it is, but Allen had the Bills "in position" when he was hurt. All of that nonsense aside, when you look at the talent around him on offense for Allen to be essentially a .500 QB in his rookie season is impressive (to me). The "problem" with Josh Allen is that so many people are completely invested in him being a bust because they didn't like his "advanced stats" predictors that they will continue to look for the negatives until he wins an MVP or throws for 40 TDs with an 80% completion percentage. It's sad.

I think your praise is a bit inflated.
