And the Steelers aren’t playing on the same field? Couldn’t those things you cited be plays by the Bills also?Talking talent. No one whatsoever is saying Pitt is the better team talentwise. Of course it can happen and the Bills are the beneficiary.
And same too "on any given Sunday", Pitt can beat Buffalo, however I 100% guarantee that if Buffalo loses Sunday, the blame will be due to the weather.

The population of the city of Indianapolis is almost 4x the city of Buffalo. Metro area 2x. Not really comparable.
Double is the important # and doesn't include Canada and 6.7 million in Toronto Metropolitan area

The Bills got a break playing Pittsburgh. I don’t care if it’s a friggin hurricane, if they can’t beat the Steelers, they would have never won the Super Bowl anyway. Just beat them.So wrong. If Allen can't be Allen (the much better QB) and the field truncated because of the wind, that has nothing to do with Pittsburgh. Slippery conditions and one long run (or 3 yard pass that goes for 80 and a TD because of the field) has nothing to do with skill.

I don’t want to derail this thread, but not putting a roof on the stadium is dumb. I looked at the costs. It will be a lot more— but how can they not get a much better rate of return with all the events they can hold in an enclosed stadium? Short-sighted.they could do a much more affordable design like Lucas Oil too, and it wouldn’t break the bank.
Very few I believe wanted an outdoor stadium. Buffalo is lucky if there are 4-5 games where the weather is good-very good. By October fans are hoping for temps in the low 50's.
Went to the NE game New Years eve and were thrilled with temps in the 30's, but still bundled up and not sure what to expect.
Sure tailgate in those temps, but once playing the game, want to see the best from both teams.
If the Bills lose I promise you weather will be the talking point afterwards regardless.

I turn on the National Championship on Monday and that is the conditions I want to see when I watch a game.
No sport is more affected by weather then Football. Soccer can be minimally, but nothing like football.
It much more effects the skilled/better team and is an equalizer.
I hate it.

If the only two options on 4th down were take a sack or heave to the endzone, sure. But with a split second more patience as Warner indicates he had a first down throw and he comes off it too quickly.
Yes he keeps saying it and I keep asking why there were no other options? Looked like a badly designed play. He throws it immediately to Kincaid and still not 100% sure he gets the first down. Add to that he rolls right and Kincaid is on the left and the only one running a short route.
When you watch other teams and successful plays on fourth down, often it is a well thought out play and an easy pitch and catch. This as not.
Conversely (& thank you Jax) they had three chances on Sunday vs. Tenn. First one fortunately Lawrence missed Ridley on what would have bneen a TD, but third & fourth down plays were lousy.

Look at how much cleaner his 3 games were after the Opener against the Jets. 8 Td's only 1 pick. So yes he CAN, and that needs to be the norm.
Again vs. Miami, you can't convince me the first int wasn't due to Gabe not reading the play correctly. If Cook too makes the block then it is a TD.
The second Int netted the Bills 17 yards. Maybe yes he should have hit Kincaid in the flat, but again once he didn't, why was every other option running 25 yards down the field on a fourth & 2????
Finally the one I will fault allen was not hitting Diggs on what would have been a 90 yard TD. He's missed too many this year.

Not sure if i prefer the miserable mumbling cheating douchebag just go away, or try to chase the record with some other suckered team and fail miserably and further tarnish his cheating legacy
Thinking the same thing.
NE was smart. Heard they were just going to take away the GM responsibilities that wouldn't work either.

Well I do find it funny that you make a clear statement that "no points to be had" when Allen throws it but then argue points could have been had if Davis was in the right spot.
I said that about the 4th down int (the second one). Really work on your reading comprehension.

If the Bills lose it will be because of the conditions. Maybe they'll reconsider a dome?🤣

I can read and this is what I am referring too....see below. So no INT and Gabe doesn't catch it....we have at least 3 points like you said below?
Worst case scenario was a fg. If Gabe continued the route, a good chance he catches it for a TD. The p[ass was right where it should have been and Gabe I would have hoped have caught it. Of course like the second down throw to Knox, could have been interfered with and no flag too😉. Can I be any clearer?

I can read.
So if Gabe is where he was "supposed to be at" we would have had 3 points and not a turnover?
Again can you read????? No he threw it where only the receiver could catch it and that should have been Gabe. If he was where he should have been it was a perfect pass that either Gabe catches or he does not. It can not be intercepted.

So you're saying Allen, in that situation, threw it to where its either incomplete or we trot the FG team out?
Can you read? I said he threw it exactly where the receiver would be the only one who could catch it. I added a big physical receiver, which is what Gabe is supposed to be.
How many pictures do you need (been posted and great shots too) to see that was where Gabe was going and where Josh threw it and then he changed directions?

I just can't honestly believe the hypersensitivity you have. Do you think he is out to get Allen or something?Seriously, this has been answered but again, you do your normal thing and play oblivious or something. This video is to answer questions on the struggles the Bills are having. Why is this so hard?
Here's proof Warner HATES Mahomes. He critiqued his game with a few negatives therefore, he hates Mahomes.
How about you take a breath, before you spout nonesense everytime I post. You made a comment questioning me after I admitted I did not play organized football when I questioned the play. Baldy confirmed both plays (ints) and now you're butt hurt I called you out?
And no I do not watch Kurt's breakdowns but did on you insistence and found it interesting that while almost every play there maybe better (or missed) options he failed to note that Knox was interfered with (though 100% there were better options) and that he threw a beautiful ball to Diggs that Diggs read properly and no chance for the coverage to defend it.
BTW I'm done..... Bills won and let's hope the same (W's) the next 4.

"I want Kurt Warner to only breakdown film on his successful completions. When should I get analysis on Allen's 29 completions?"
Again does Kurt break down every qb's 3-4 "wrong" decisions each week (including where they completed a 40 yard pass or where an obvious PI wasn't called)? I already spend too much time here and don't have the time to watch everyone of Kurt's videos🤣😉

Interesting reading all the comments on The Bills Franchise Quarterback.
Aside from all the aforementioned praise or criticism of Joshua, I have some questions that would be very interesting to be read if honestly answered.
Bills franchise quarterback tends to run into linemen and linebackers when he runs, rarely wanting to slide, and now having players push him into 275+ pounds linemen. This behavior is not IF an injury will happen it is just WHEN.
So, are you content with that behavior of a Franchise QB?
After reading many of the comments, the vast of them feel that Joshua is THE Bills offense.
So, if an injury occurs from this behavior, (HERO BALL, not sliding and being pushed, leaping), and QB is hurt and lost to the team, are you still okay with His style of play, even though it may cost the team a game or even worse a Super Bowl victory?
How good a football team do you feel the Bills will be if their Franchise QB gets hurt and has to miss time?So, is it "I will forever ride or die with Josh Allen" and excuse that running behavior and take risk of injury and accept the outcome of Allen missing games?
And we saw the Bills offense when Allen stopped running. Maybe Lamar, Hurts and Fields shouldn't run either because eventually they'll get hurt.

This is not a slant route.
So Baldy agrees on the first interception as I too thought..... So since I know nothing (as I admitted I did not play competitive Football)according to @Royale with Cheese, I guess that means neither does Baldy. Am I right?😜
1 hour ago, Royale with Cheese said:It's not a quick designed slant but he runs it like a deep slant. You can clearly see Davis cutting to the outside before cutting in.
Whether or not he was supposed to go inside or out, we don't know.
If Allen has time to throw it to the spot you think Davis is supposed to be, he has time to throw it 2 yards further over the middle.
The one thing that is not being talked about is Apple's eyes never come off of Allen. He is in prime position to jump and knock that ball down or even jump the route.It was a low pass to exaclty where a large physical receiver can be the only one to make catch. That's why it was thrown like that. At worst an incompletion and 3 points. No way is it an int.

This is typical of the passive aggressive stuff that is thrown at Allen all the time. IMO it's weak as hell:
* "our highest paid player". I love this one. I guess because the Bills are paying a lot of money to their elite franchise QB he should get more criticism. What I see from a contract standpoint is that Allen is underpaid relatve to his production and the teams results on the field. I believe that Murry, Herbert & Watson all make more money then Allen.
* "Allen himself will say he played really bad". One of the great things about Allen is he takes responsibility and never throws a team mate or coach under the bus. I love that he's hard on himself. What I wonder is why some fans insist on being as hard on Allen as he is. It makes me think they never lived through the purgatory years where bad QBing was the norm for 20 years.
Well I for one would rather him at halftime have said
"Gabe f'd up the route and Cook dropped a lollipop and should have had 14 more points"😜🤣

I love how he complains about the bad read Josh made completing a 40 yarder to Diggs? Is Kurt so negative on every QB or is this a Josh bias?
He says anticipate. I guess anticipating Gabe does the right thing and catches the TD sin't part of the analysis?
And finally he too uses the example of the second down play, where there was an obvious PI not called on Knox and at the same time pointing out another reveiver open short of the goalline too.
I guess the 29 completions (he did say the 30th was a mistake by Allen) didn't require analysis?

Or conversely you will be a fan of the Quarterback and still start each assessment entirely neutrally and look objectively at is he at fault or not.
For example, two that immediately come to mind this year where Josh was just pure unlucky against the Giants and the Buccs where tips that might otherwise have fallen safe just happened to fall to a defender. The Denver one you mentioned yourself I think he throws it harder than he needed to but Gabe can come down with that ball. The hail mary at the end of the Jets first half... not a mistake by Josh. There are INTs that I don't put on him. The one against the Bengals I put on the receiver as well (was that Gabe too? Can't recall). So this isn't a blame Josh for everything. It is try and be objective about each incident in isolation.
Again was a game changer. Was 3rd down, would have been in the red zone and if an incompletion a FG attempt. And again with the Allen "threw it to hard"? How is that an excuse Gabe was running accross the field and it hit him on the run in both his hands?🙄

How do you know which was Gabe was supposed to run and where Allen was supposed to throw the ball?
You don't understand the simple nuances of the game and it shows constantly.
Why, because it happens over and over with Gabe. Allen threw it to a spot where Gabe was going. Watch the play. He looks at Davis and throws it.

Yes you're right about that.
How do you know which way Gabe was supposed to run and did you seriously say that you try to find ways to pin it on someone else?
No I did not. I will say that as a fan I may look closer at what happened and if there is blame. I.e. Davis letting a strike go through his hands vs. Denver and being intercepted, wasn't nearly talked enough about.
It is an inherent bias. Every Josh int one looks at and can often excuse (i.e. arm punt on 3rd down and long, end of the half Hail Mary, receiver didn't fight for it, deflection.....).
Conversely if not a fan of the QB, you'll say say they threw interception worthy passes or got lucky.
BTW I thought there is a stat that in terms of "interception worthy passes" or something similar, Josh is nowere near the worst (though stats say he throws the most ints).

Wild Card Weekend - Wild Card Weather
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
And the next two games vs. NE, Buffalo proved 100% just how much better they were and the NE win was only due to the weather. Geez, just proved my point.😉
