Josh Allen 300+ yards, 4 TDs and 1 rushing TD MVP chatter picks up again after this win and when we are the first team to knock out the Steelers

this is one of those moments where if the teacher asked me to stand up and go to the front of the class, I wouldn't be able to do it

Daboll leaving could also bring in a potential offensive mind that unlocks Allen the passer even more!

Josh Allen has a chance to enter the MVP convo with a solid month, or give us hours of "I told you so" commentary from sports media... the best part is that it's all up to him and this team

when will we know more about Josh's knee? MCL sprain seems like the most plausible then again, with his shoulder they never did give details but he wore a brace and it obviously seemed to affect his play it will be interesting to see how this one plays out... needless to say, I am nervous

If we are dealing with a knee injury a lot can happen in the next 48 hours to determine his availability for the upcoming weeks... I wouldn't put too much into him finishing the game out like he did... as Rick James would say "adrenaline is a helluva drug"

I am so glad we can finally stop hearing about the Dolphins and Tua being the next big thing... YES - they are a franchise who are getting better and have tons of assets YES - Tua is showing promise but... 1) They are still in the process of the rebuild 2) Tua is a rookie and will need time to figure out the NFL game/speed Regardless, we gotta take care of business and lock this division up. 6-0 against our division this year would speak volumes.

Tua Many Mistakes

It was first and goal on the 1. My guess is to rush to the line and get the quick score yields higher results than a challenge and potential free time out for Seattle. Hindsight is 20/20 and I have no problem admitting that I would have never even thought of challenging it until Mike Pereira said it was a TD.

Consider it a compliment that I graded him so tough. If Mahomes or Rodgers didn’t score a single TD against the Jets those fan bases would think the sky is falling. It’s a single game grade and even he would tell you the same. Today is the example of why we can now hold Josh to a higher standard - the dude is a gamer and our franchise QB - no doubt about it!

WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ WEEK FOUR: A- WEEK FIVE: B- WEEK SIX: D WEEK SEVEN: D+ WEEK EIGHT: A WEEK NINE: A+ (Best game of his career: Valedictorian) 31/38 - 82% completion - 415 yards - 3 TD - 14 yards rushing - 1 rushing TD Simply put: Josh Allen delivered. First month Josh is back. Huge game, huge moments, huge win. THE GOOD: Never wavered as the pressure of this big game mounted. The thing I am most proud of, is he made every perceived bad play, actually his good play - for example. The sacks he took were because nobody was open. Every time he was in the huddle his confidence oozed through the TV screen and I knew he would get our offense rolling regardless of the injuries to our O-line. THE BAD: Sure that 1st and goal and coming away with only 3 points was brutal however the play calls didn't help. There honestly wasn't one moment today where I was like "cmon Josh!". THE UGLY: The worst part of today is that the national narrative will still continue to bring up "good Josh" vs "bad Josh" and not give this dude credit for playing with a heavy heart today after the passing of his grandmother, and beating out the league MVP favorite in what even Vegas predicted as a shoot out. However, maybe that narrative is what makes him and this team special. Perhaps never being crowned as "the next team in the AFC" or "the franchise QB of the AFC East" is what keeps this squad humble and hungry. The more I reflect on it, I don't think I need Steven A Smith to tell us how good we are. I would rather see it on the field. Sure there will be some ups and downs, however as long as our trajectory is heading up... that's all we can ask for. GO BILLS!

OVERTIME GAME: Bills 31 - Seahawks 28

Last week my thread got taken down for the low grade... I think I am only allow to give good grades now cause this one stayed up

WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ WEEK FOUR: A- WEEK FIVE: B- WEEK SIX: D WEEK SEVEN: D+ WEEK EIGHT: A 11/18 - 61% completion - 154 yards - 1 INT - 23 yards rushing - 1 TD The good: We beat the Pats and Josh Allen was the reason. We ran the ball well today but that is because the Patriots had to respect the pass and the arm of our franchise QB. His audible play call to John Brown for that quick pass was awesome next level stuff! The bad: The INT was a miscommunication with Diggs, and Stefon was event seen on the sideline telling Josh "my bad". That game swung the momentum and brought the Pats back in it, but again it was not Josh Allens fault at all so it shouldn't count. The ugly: Gabe Davis not being able to catch what should have been the game winning TD. Josh threw is right on target but Davis couldn't catch it. Maybe the wind caught it towards the end but I will just chalk it up as a rookie mistake that he will learn from. Glass half full: We beat the Pats. We are 4-0 in the division and sitting pretty nice in the standings. I am guessing NE goes to Stidham next week and honestly I think the Dolphins are better with Fitz so let's see how they take the rest of the season. The division is ours for the taking. Let's just get better each week as we head into the playoffs. Glass half empty: Schedule gets tough from here. Real tough. Can we make it out while improving in the games we lose? GO BILLS!

one less thing to worry about, but the RB's and running game is going to be there #1

I don't think Cam gets the start against us, they will turn to Stidham and try to boost his trade value for the house cleaning that is about to happen in Foxboro

WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ WEEK FOUR: A- WEEK FIVE: B- WEEK SIX: D WEEK SEVEN: D+ 30/43 - 70% completion - 307 yards - 0 TD - 0 INT - 61 yards rushing - 1 fumble I will address the elephant in the room first - yes, he has a D+ despite throwing for 300 yards. First and foremost that 300 yard thing was mainly a "Bills" stat that we were all obsessed with and frankly in his 3rd year we have to move on from that glorified marker. Josh Allen gets a D+ today because he made way too many mistakes in the red zone and our offense relied on a rookie kicker to SCORE ALL OF OUR POINTS. The good: there were drives where Josh took what the defense gave us and drove us all the way down the field. He also had 3 potential TD passes that didn't end up happening: the first to Gabe Davis which got called back because he wasn't lined up correctly. The second one to Beasley, but he didn't establish position to get back in before the catch, and lastly, the one that hurt me the most, the beauty to Kroft which would have been such a cool moment for someone who just welcomed a new child into this world. The bad: I'm sure I was not alone in receiving text messages from friends that Josh had that "panic" look in his eyes again. It reminds me of when someone studies for a test, shows up in the classroom confident and ready, and then opens the page and realizes that the teacher switched the test questions. He simply refuses at times to take what the defense gives him and always tries for the hero ball play. Wide open receivers underneath only to be forcing it into windows that don't exist. He needs to be better. The ugly: Red zone decisions. The fumble was just terrible and sadly, was somewhat expected after he got away with that first fumble but luckily his knee was down. The 3rd and short where he decided to selfishly keep the ball rather than give it to Moss was way too obvious and has become an instant read for defenders. Glass half full: it's a road division win and they usually never come easy. Vegas set us up for disaster with such a huge point spread, and coming off 2 losses to face a 0-6 team had trap game written all over it but we did what was needed to get the W. The offense got Bass in FG position and he delivered. The defense made key stops and had essential turnovers to bring Darnold back down to reality. We are 5-2 getting ready to face the Pats. We are in good shape and I have confidence this team will continue to rally through these injury bugs (missing John Brown is huge for Josh) and win this division. GO BILLS!

Q Williams

I would not trade for an injured Ertz and I would be very hesitant to make a move for Cox

WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ WEEK FOUR: A- WEEK FIVE: B- WEEK SIX: D 14/27 - 52% completion - 122 yards 2 TD - 1 INT - 8 rushes for 42 yards Let's start with the good. Josh led a 6 play - 75 yard TD drive in the 4th quarter to put us within 6. That drive he was poised, confident, and accurate. It was one of those drives where Bills fans all probably stated out loud "why can't we just do that every drive?" - well... we didn't. Now to the bad. A few panic moments emerged out of Josh again that reminded me of his rookie/sophomore year. The 4th down attempted QB sneak where he tried to rush everyone to the line of scrimmage was one that stuck out to me, you could tell it was a rogue call and luckily we got bailed out with a penalty. A second one was the missed oppurtunity to a wide open Diggs for a TD. Plays like that would have put pressure on the defense to respect the deep pass and opened up more stuff underneath for others. Lastly, John Brown ended the game with 0 catches. Granted he drew tons of penalties, we have to find a way to involve him more. The ugly. The weather was bad, sure, but we are at home so not sure how much we want to weigh in something like that in regards to how inaccurate Josh was today. Against the Titans our first pass bounced off Roberts for a INT, and today it was just a blown pass to Beasley that seemed to set the tone for the entire half. Allen simply could not hit receivers in stride today and just overall had a really bad game. The last pass of the game was the icing on the cake to just a terrible day. Glass half full: He never gives up. Ran for tons of first downs and refuses to lose. Even in my early season predictions I had us at 4-2 at the point so really it's not the end of the world. We get the Jets next week and have a chance to get everything rolling again. GO BILLS!

Pats play the niners next week and could easily become 2-4 Dolphins play the Rams next week and could easily become 3-4 We got the Chiefs tomorrow, and then the Jets - worst case we are 5-2 and best case we are 6-1 LETS GOOOOOO

we just need more WAP than the Chiefs and we will be fine (weather athletic plays)

take this for what it's worth but my cousin said Bell chose us and now it's just figuring out the contract situation

I flexed my work schedule for this and I am legit bummed

WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ WEEK FOUR: A- WEEK FIVE: B- 26-41 - 63% completion, 263 YDS, 2 TD, 2 INT, 18 yards rushing Ugly game on defense. Ugly game on special teams. A healthy mix of bad luck and bad decisions on offense. First and foremost the INT off Roberts hands/chest just can't happen. It turns a first down for us, into a touchdown for them. It started the snowball effect of our defense being exposed. I was absolutely furious when that happened especially since it was not on Josh at all. (bad luck) During the first half drops plagued us in a bad way as well. Drive killers and momentum stoppers. Again, I really felt for Josh on these because it seemed to suck the air out of drives when we are already nearly running on fumes. (bad luck) Forcing the ball to Diggs became an issue that even the announcers started to pick up on. There was a few passes that could have been picked off, but didn't, however the INT to Davis was a bad one. It reminded me of the "Old Josh" and was just an error that we can't have when we are playing from behind with a defense that is getting abused. (bad decisions) I originally was going to give Josh a C+ for today, however the rest of the team did so awful that it's tough to pin so much on him. In reality, he was the only reason we were even somewhat in this game. Overall this week had bad vibes all around it. The Titans were almost given the royal treatment by the league of being somewhat "rewarded" for not following protocols. Sure they didn't get to practice, but they got AJ Brown back (who we saw could NOT be guarded by anyone active on our roster) along with other players whom if protocols were not broken and a Sunday game occurred, would not have been playing. On our side? I am convinced that Tre made a family decision to not risk it and play in this game. I don't blame him at all and if you have negative feelings towards him because of that decision... shame on you. Glass half full: in a terrible, terrible, game - our young QB did not sh**t the bed and stayed poised minus one bad throw. He was spotted on the sideline trying to pick up the defense and rally the guys. A true class act. Glass half empty: without John Brown our offense has no deep threat and it shows. Our 3rd down safety valve is also gone although Josh still makes amazing plays happen. Most importantly though, our defense went from elite to dare I say... a liability. Our special teams has laces pointed in, fumbled kick returns, and just an overall "hold your breath" every time they are on the field approach. I don't care how good Josh Allen progresses this year, if our D and Special teams take huge steps back - we will not only lose the division, but we might not even get the 7 seed. What's the perfect way to rebound from this embarrassing loss? Beat the Chiefs on a Monday night. GO BILLS!
