I'm not kidding or using sarcasm. I really heard "beeeaaaasss" all this time, not booing. So... which is true? It would suck big time if fans are booing him!
Nobody is booing him. I go to the games too. They are cheering for him saying his name in a way that sounds similar to booing. Same thing with Rousseau, Hughes, etc.
And nobody talks about or cares about his stance on Covid Vaccinations except for a handful of people on this board who get cranked up over it. Honestly, it never gets talked about even for a second in any of the tailgate parties I have attended. People mostly don't care one way or the other. Bills fans love the guy and want them on this team because he is a great player.

You’re right, I just have a tough time not being a little skeptical with his past. I also can’t help but to think he’s very lucky. All this talk about health is ironic because football is an extremely unhealthy game. These guys take a beating (within the special Brady rules), and Brady stays healthy at 44. I don’t care what you eat, that’s fortunate at any age.
No doubt he is fortunate. No doubt he is also trying to make the most of the deck he was dealt.
I hated his guts when he played for that panty-waste fanbase in New England under that shitbag of a coach with his cast of deuchebag teammates over the years.
Now that he plays for a fanbase who has taken as many beatings (probably more) than the Bills fans over their entire existence, I can now watch him and appreciate his downright mastery of the sport. We will not likely see a more consistently dominant quarterback in our lifetime.
I reserve the right to rekindle my currently subdued hatred for him if an when the situation calls for it.

His alleged “diet” is also quite unhealthy from most expert prospectives.
Well, Brady seems to be proving he is right - year after year. He is actually walking his talk.
People are surprised that he is capable of doing what he is doing at his age. Then they ask him how he does it. He tells them how he does it.
Then those people go - "Nah.... That can't be it..... I read some supposed expert somewhere who says Brady diet isn't healthy."😂
Who are you going to believe? The actual guy who is proving he is very healthy at his age who just told you what he eats and what he attributes to his health?
Or, some guy who reads about the diet and then offers his contradictory opinion? One guy has proof. The other just has an opinion.

Brady has avoided major injury somehow since 2008. That’s the secret to his longevity. And he knows it too. Dude will curl up and toss the ball into the ground when he even sniffs a pass rusher. You wanna put Brady into retirement? … jeep knocking him to the ground. I don’t care what he eats and what PED’s he’s taking, a 44 year old body don’t recover. Wouldn’t surprise if Belichik’s gameplan is to put a hurting on Brady and it equally wouldn’t surprise me if sundays games us the beginning of a downward slide for Brady.
You may not realize this if it doesn't interest you, but there are lots of people who are able to slow their rate of genetic aging by implementing radical health measures doing things like tracking nutrients, caloric restriction, nutrient supplementation and periodic fasting from food. It is cutting edge science that isn't widely known to the mainstream public.
For example this guy - https://michaellustgarten.com/
He is a researcher (PHD) who conducts experiments on himself to track many different biomarkers and how his diet affects them. His intent is to optimize longevity and health span. He takes his health to an extreme.
Guys like him, and guys like Brady, who take radical measures are able to produce bloodwork and genetic expression profiles that match people who are ten to fifteen years younger than their calendar birthday says they are. So technically, Brady might be 44 or whatever. But, it is possible that by all genetic measurements he appears to be much younger than that - could be by a decade or more. And that could explain how a guy his age can still perform so well physically and recover more quickly than you would expect a person to at his age. Not magic - just science.

If you’re hospitalized, the dietary team is likely to plan well rounded meals for you as a patient. That’s who I consider the experts, not athletes, or suburban serial dieters.
Dude,
Have you been to a hospital lately or know someone who has?
They feed you complete crap that would make you diabetic if you lived on it long enough. Lots of sugary crap and refined carbohydrates - all the stuff that leads to insulin resistance which then breeds all the other diseases of aging. In fact, they even feed that crap to people who are already diabetic. The food you get in a hospital is anything but healthy - at least that is the case in what I have seen lately. Sad but true.

Bologna! You'd have to be blind not to see Josh's struggles and it is the very definition of a fan to discuss how their team is doing.
Allen is slumping, fans are concerned and talking about it, get real.
I do think Allen will work his way through this...We might have to be patient. IDK?
Go Bills!
3 minutes ago, elijah said:“It’s a bit weird to call a team that scored 35 points in a ‘slump.’”
Then goes on to describe, what is in fact, a slump.
Why are fans going crazy about other fans pointing out areas for improvement and saying that we’re not at our best?
The offense is flat out in a slump, simple as that. Are those of us saying this claiming that the team is doomed? Absolutely not, it’s a 17 game season and hopefully a 20 game season.
We’re a Super Bowl contender, it’s okay for fans to act accordingly. It’s okay to be critical.
The offense we’ve seen the first two weeks does not win a Super Bowl. The offense we’ve seen the first two weeks is not nearly as good as the offense we saw last year. They are in a ‘slump.’ So, naturally fans are going to talk about how the play has dipped, and observe and converse about what may be causing it and how we think it can be fixed in order to make that long journey to the Super Bowl.
If this is what an offensive slump looks like, I suppose I could find at least a handful of teams in the NFL who would love to be in the same offensive SLUMP that Buffalo is in.
You may lump in the entire last season for the Bills and then call these two games a slump. But since when do games from last season count for this season?
The bar was set for the offense in the fist game against Pittsburgh. I think the Bills played better on offense in game 2 against the Dolphins. So if they were in a slump, it appears they are already heading out of it.
If you are going to set the bar at the level of always performing near record breaking levels, then you are setting yourself up to be miserable and in a perpetual slump.
Think about it this way. You could say the Patriots were in a slump every single year except their best year when they lost the Superbowl to the Giants to ruin their undefeated season. That appeared to be their best year. They won a bunch of Superbowls. But all those Superbowls would have to be considered their SLUMP years because they didn't perform at the same level as the year they almost went undefeated.

I wish I could put in the Meme of the Emperor saying “Yes, let the Hate flow threw you” . Lol
Dude it’s a sport that makes us all forget about our lives for a few hours on Sunday while we cheer our favorite team on. After that we all have to go back to out regularly scheduled lives and work. Mind you I find myself enjoying my sons Pop Warner games and Nephews HS games more than the pros.. probably because it’s fun seeing people you know doing something they love.
Patriot fan walks into a crowd of Bills fans and makes a crack about Bills fans.
Unless he is a complete idiot, I think the guy would probably expect to get some flak for it. Common sense, no?

I stopped watching Warner about half way thru. I get what he’s saying, and we all know Josh isn’t at his best yet. BUT, he complained about two straight 10-15 yards completions for first downs. I actually like that he’s taking first downs over a Lotto ticket going long every time. We are not the greatest show on turf, we are an offense that moves the ball and scores points. Yes, he’s definitely got stuff to clean up, but I just felt like Warner was looking to nit pick because it was the thing to do. Let’s all hope Josh gets him to change his tune starting Sunday.
It is also worth noting that Warner cherry picked a handful of passing plays where the pass rush wasn't a total jail break. That is kind of like taking these plays a bit out of context. I don't recall Warner explaining how a heavy pass rush early and often in a game will often times make a quarterback weary of it the rest of the game and affect his decision making thereafter. It would be interesting to go back and look at film of Warner as a quarterback in games where he faced an intense pass rush up the middle with the opponent only rushing 4. Then ask him about those games and why he wasn't as good as normal.

Wow! Bills are 1-1 and just came off a dominating 35-0 win of the Dolphins and you guys have THIS going on. Lmao Allen will be fine, he is probably just getting the rust off since he didn’t play much in the preseason. But damn I thought my fan base had a bunch of contrarians, Buffalo has us beat on that too.
No. Your fan base is a bunch of Nancy's. Entitled pricks. You think your ***** doesn't stink?
The last thing you should ever say about the Bills fan base is anything other than how impressive our football knowledge is and how much we love our team.
Your team sucks now. And there is little happening in the NFL that pleases me more than to see that and get to say it to one of you Patriot fan dill holes.
Enjoy another losing season. There's always next year. lol

I liked Matt Milan's take during the Dolphins game where he said the last part of Allen's game that he needs to develop is the Manning level ability to read the field pre and post snap.
I think its still early enough in his career where he has to go through rules in his head to know where to go with the ball. And Pittsburgh started throwing new schemes at him to throw him off of his rules. And when he needs to take more time to process, his proper throwing mechanics are off. Which explains a lot of the inaccurate throws.
With time and experience he'll get better at seeing the field intuitively, and as a result will be able to make faster decisions and utilize his proper throwing mechanics more consistently.
In that Steeler's game it looked to me like Josh was just "off his game". I am guessing he got that way by first being under extreme pressure going into that game, big contract, big expectations, high bar set for himself mentally, first time in front of a home field full house again in a playoff like atmosphere. Then you couple that with an intense pass rush up the middle of the pocket in a pass heavy scheme. Add to it that Josh was still focused on trying to hit the long ball every play. It really starts to make sense how he never got into his flow state. I bet Josh Allen never got right mentally during that Steeler's game. Too many things going wrong around him adding to his mental stress level preventing him from calmly and quickly being decisive in the pocket.
I recall seeing the same thing happen to historically great passers like Dan Marino for example. I have seen it happen with Brady although not very often at all. You get heavy pressure on them up the middle early in the game. It gets in their head and gets them off their game. The next deep snap they take, instead of just focusing on where to deliver the football, they are first focused on whether or not they are about to get pancaked. They can then feel rushed even if the pass protection holds up. You are in their head now. They are off their game. You start seeing them get frustrated. They make poor decisions and throw with less accuracy. In Allen's case he also fudged his mechanics and sometimes resorted to playing "backyard football" .
Allen may have successfully course corrected if his coaches had successfully coached him to recognize the situation for what it was and to start decisively targeting the checkdown receivers and if Daboll had adjusted by choosing plays with formations that provided max pass protection. Looked to me like they didn't do either of those enough and were just waiting for Allen to spontaneously "snap out of his funk" and pull magic out of his ass.
I think the Bills will get there. McDermott appears to be a great leader. Daboll is smart enough. Allen is talented enough. There is massive upside in their future yet this season. But, they had better prepare to face the same situation they did with the Steelers again, because they will face it again, possibly as soon as this weekend, and especially in the playoffs. Hopefully by the second half of the season the Bills are firing on all cylinders preparing for a run.

My problem is exactly the word "confused ". As I stated previously, Simms should not be throwing around descriptions like confused when the D-line is in his face with 4 man rushes the entire 2nd half and he doesn't have a running play called until they go into prevent after the punt block. The description of being confused diminishes this kid's greatness. Have you ever heard that description used for Wilson, Brees, Mahomes, Rogers or Big Ben? It’s always either the O-line was abused or the running game was shut down or the receivers couldn't get separation. It's the 2nd half of the 1st game we're talking about.
He looked "confused" to me.
No doubt the Bills expected Pittsburgh to blitz a lot more than they did based on previous games and previous film. When those blitzes didn't come and the guys who were lined up to blitz dropped back into coverage, there is little doubt that it would confuse Allen. It would interrupt/delay his decision making (hence the word "confused") because defenders weren't going where he expected them to go.
His confusion was probably momentary (a couple seconds) and yes by then he was under pressure so he didn't have time to calmly read the field again.
Using the word "confused" doesn't diminish my opinion of Josh Allen one bit. All of those quarterbacks you mentioned also get confused from time to time when playing football. None of them are infallible. It is not insulting to say they looked confused. It does not diminish Josh Allen in the least unless it could be said about him consistently in many games. And it's not. It's okay that Josh Allen isn't perfect.
I would challenge the use of your wording "greatness". Josh Allen has not been playing excellent football long enough nor consistently enough to be talking about his "greatness". I think he needs to dominate a lot more great defenses first. He failed to do that in his last opportunity. Allen has only shown glimpses of what I would refer to as greatness.

Particularly now that the Bills are a good team, I find myself participating much less frequently on the board during the week after a loss. I lurk but post much less. The threads get ridiculous (well, even more ridiculous) and it's exhausting. Is it just me?
I prefer to post in an emotionally pissed off state of drunken stooper once I get home from the game.
Then I go find someone who has a Steeler's flag on their house and I put an M-80 in their mailbox. Ha ha. Whose got the last laugh now byotch!
Then I wake up the next morning, tell myself I am never drinking again, and think about how bad the day is going to suck because I am hungover and the Bills lost.
Fast forward 1 week = repeat! Woohoo!

My understanding of car/marine batteries is that you don't want the battery state to fall below 50% or you start to see degradation of the battery, is that correct? So is the idea then that when you see a voltage at or below 12.4 on the monitor then that's an indication that the battery state is falling below 50%?
I am no expert. So take my advice for what it is worth.
I do run solar panels and an off-grid batteries + inverter system.
Your understanding is correct that you don't want to draw lead acid batteries down below 50% because you can damage the battery and drastically shorten its life.
Yes 12.4v = maximum discharge before running the risk of really shortening battery life.
2 hours ago, Rubes said:Does it matter when that reading is taken, or what the demand on the battery is at that time? In other words, are you supposed to get an idea of the battery state when the battery is not hooked up to any other source (car or solar panels) and there are no pulls on the battery (ie, no lights or other electric devices being used)? Or does the state of charge apply no matter what the battery is supporting, and you don't want the voltage to drop below 12.40 at any time and with any usage? So if I'm out on a trip and I have the lights on and a fan plugged in or whatever, and the meter shows a voltage of 12.30, I should shut some things off to protect the battery?
You will experience a voltage drop when the battery is under load. So a disconnected battery will typically measure higher voltage than a battery that currently has a draw on it. The amount of voltage drop is affected by how much current you are drawing.
With a full charge on the battery, if you turn your lights on and plug in your fan, do you see an immediate drop from 12.8v to 12.3v? If you do, then you probably need to decrease the load or add an additional battery in parallel because you are drawing too much current. That way you could draw from both batteries at the same time.
You don't want to go under that 12.4 whether the battery is under load or not if that is the manufacturer's recommendation.
If you are getting a large drop under a small load, that is a sign that your battery is on its way out. But it is relative of course.

So in summary of Steeler's Defense vs. Buffalo's Offense:
Pittsburgh better prepared - Ready and waiting - knowing what the Bills offense was going to try to do based on history
Daboll and Allen - both unprepared for Pittsburgh understanding the Bills offense as well as they did
Daboll's offense - too predictable if Pittsburgh was able to anticipate such detail
Allen - somewhat confused by defender movements being different than the pre-snap formations suggested
Buffalo O-line didn't provide Allen enough time to process the differences because pass rush was fierce even with only 4 rushers
All makes sense.
Coaching & Execution were subpar

You're complaining to the wrong people.
Your point is valid. So what you should do is contact your US congressman and senators' offices and state assembly and state senator's office and insist that they come up with an identification card for people who have natural immunity. That is the solution you seek. That is where you should focus your efforts.
Complaining to your fellow Bills fans that "it ain't fair" is going to accomplish nothing.

I thought it was bad, but it was like 2 different halves. Per NFL.com, "The Steelers scored 23 points after trailing 10-0 at halftime. On their last four drives, they generated 231 yards and 13 first downs after opening the game with 22 yards and three first downs on their first 14 plays (6 drives)."
I have no idea, wondering what everyone else thinks.
The Steelers are not an elite offense by any means (Ben did not hit anyone over 20 air yards), and they started 4 new offensive lineman.
As much as Daboll is rightfully taking flack for his game planning, what happened to the D?
I think a couple of things happened that made the biggest difference in the second half.
1) I think Ben was getting the ball out a little faster - which helped neutralize the pass rush Buffalo had been getting and helped the Steelers get into more of a rythm
2) Being a team that was facing a shut out from the first half - they Steelers decided to take more chances - throwing questionable balls to guys that were covered - those went their way. Could have resulted in turnovers, but didn't. With things already going the Steelers' way, the Bills' offense was still sputtering when it mattered. Pittsburgh got the punt block for 6. That pretty much sealed it.
Basically, the Steelers coaches' halftime adjustments worked much better than Buffalo's. And the Steelers got a little more aggressive with passes that paid off.
I think the Steelers are going to get mauled when they go up against a defense with a much better defensive line than Buffalo has. Ben will be chucking ducks up for grabs and Najee will be eating dirt.

He may have been confused about what real booing sounds like. I have a feeling he might learn the difference at the next home game.
The local media will jump on this like heifer in heat. I can envision them licking their chops about it right now. Can't wait to publish another emotional story about an emotional topic that is not even news worthy.
