    I have no empirical data. I don't think reliable polling exists regarding the collective opinion of Josh Allen among Bills fans pre-draft.

     

    As far as wishful thinking goes, I have no idea what you're talking about. It makes no difference to me whether other Bills fans wanted him or not. I'm not of the opinion that message board consensus will lead to dramatic changes at OBD. I sure as hell hope my opinion doesn't sway Brandon Beane!

     First in foremost, you did admit  you made a statement that you cannot back up. I thank you for that. 

     

     You seem to be one of the minority on this board that think Josh Allen is a bust. For everyone on the board who says that at this point in time here is my take: 

     

     It is absolutely 100% impossible to make that judgment. Alan may turn out to be the best of all the quarterbacks drafted this year. Or he may not. It simply cannot be determined at this time. That is a fact, it is not debatable. Consequently, people who are already pronouncing him a bust have no credibility with me for this simple reason: 

     

     Anyone who professes to no the unknowable is suspect with me regardless of the topic. 

     

    Now if I miss judged you in the sense that you don’t necessarily think at this point in time that Alan is a bust, I apologize. Your posts make you come across that way. And, for some advice to take or leave as you see fit, I wouldn’t make such assertions in terms of what the entire board or the Buffalo Bills fandom seem to think when you can’t back it up. That’s just my scientific training in me coming out regarding these kinds of issues.

    The fact remains that a huge percentage of Bills fans never wanted the Bills to draft Josh Allen because of the red flags.

     

    His lack of production despite incredible talent made him one of the most polarizing QB prospects to enter the league in a long time.

     

    Some people, myself included, are just waiting out his time here because we're convinced he cannot play the position. Are we supposed to not share our opinion? I'm more than willing to give Allen credit when it's due, but this 2-3 year nonsense is obnoxious.

    Can you find all of us some actuarial data, you know, empirical research that is not debatable, that a “huge” amount of bills fans didn’t want Josh Allen?  You find it and post it and I might agree with that shoot from the hip assertion. At this point it’s only wishful thinking on your part because you didn’t want him drafted. My own anecdotal evidence regarding this issue is that the majority of bills fans, even on this board, are quite pleased with his acquisition.

    I was watching  channel 2 news this morning and Adam Benini and Vic Carrucci were saying that with the way this team is playing that McDermott JUST HAS TO BE on the hot seat. Then they bemoan how bad they played against the Colts and it's just unacceptable for the defense to give up all those points to the 1-5 colts.

     

    Maybe they forgot how critical turnovers are (from the offense) to getting blown out. Guess they forgot how we demolished the Vikings at home and that a superior team can get their butts handed to them by a lesser team.

     

    What I find sad is these clowns can't see the long game that is going on here and that this offseason is going to be used to finish most of the rebuild that is taking place.

     

    McDermott is going nowhere.

     

     

     This is, indeed, the  case.  He is not going anywhere. Regardless of what you think about him, the fact that he got the bills into the playoffs in and did the drought bought him, in my opinion, at least two years. This is not  to say if he ends up being a great coach or not. I don’t know if you will be but I have some confidence in him because he actually did get us to the playoffs!  He will not be fired this year or during the off-season.

    Book It:  Come the 2019 NFL draft, Eric Dungey will be a top QB prospect.  And the Buffalo Bills will select him.  And Josh Allen will become the 2nd String QB for the Bills.

     

    :)

     I live in the Syracuse area, also. I have seen all the games Dungey has played. He has regressed this year, clearly. He will be lucky to get drafted at this point. More likely a UDA.

     

    If you have watched the games this year like I have you would know that this is a bad take. I wish it was true, but it just ain’t

  5. No one seems to be talking about the elephant in the room here. All of those illegal formation penalties! Sorry, but somebody had to bring it up.

     And, this is the first time I’ve ever quoted one my own posts. ......Even on an extra point defense play!!!

    They are the same.  Sprained ligaments have tearing of fibers.  

    Yes, this is it. A tear in the tendon does not usually mean there’s some type of full tear like an incision made by scissors. You are absolutely right. Also, these tears typically heal with rest and rehab. I would imagine Josh, given his youth and natural recovery ability might heal pretty quickly and be as good as new.But, as a fan I get the concern and I have a little bit of it, also.

    I thought it was also a part of the classic Steve Goodman song "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request," who sadly died at age 36, 14 days before he was scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the Cubs first playoff game (or luckily since they were dispatched of pretty quickly in the playoffs). However, my memory was off, but it still has much of the similar sentiment and style of humor....

     

     

     

     Such a great song and what a great artist. He did leave us way too soon. To this day when I pick up my Gibson or Taylor I will play “you don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’!   I can also do “the city of New Orleans” but don’t do it so often. I need to teach myself “talking backwards” which is such a great song. Amazing lyrics and amazing humor.’

     

    And, the obituary was awesome even if it wasn’t original. Well done and rest in peace bills fan.

    Oh so I should have said his td int ratio is good and his comp percentage is stellar.

     

    His numbers are bad and his play is a reflection. If you think otherwise then I don't know what you're watching.

     If I understand you correctly. And I think I do, you are saying that Josh Allen is a bust already! This is the reality of the situation with regard to your post: 

     

     Your post says nothing whatsoever about Josh Allen. Yes, it is absolutely way too early to make any such pronouncements such as his being a bust. And, by the way, when you’re saying the bills should draft a quarterback next year you’re actually calling him a bust. This is 100% ridiculous! Maybe it is my own scientific training but there is absolutely no adequate empirical evidence to make such a judgment at this point. 

     

    All your post does is say a lot about you and your judgement and credibility.   Right now, your credibility is hanging by a thread just based on this post. 

     

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but this one is, quite frankly, is really bad!

    Every season is about wins and #17 is going to be the difference maker. If he can't win with this defensive performance (he needs to play the bare minimum of mediocre quarterback play), then we lose, and I'm officially worried. If he does win these games consistently even though he looks ugly doing it, that's a great rookie year for 17 and should be a lot more wins than this offense has any business earning.

     

    But damn Rosen throws a pretty ball with the Cardinals. They have a case of the dropsies worse than us, but don't look at his stat lines, just know Larry friggin Fitzgerald has dropped 2 dimes of would be TD throws.

    Didn't particularly notice the front 7 played that well, but would love that development to stay that way

     When you hold a team to no touchdowns, by definition, the front seven played well.
