What's a punter?
The punter is the player who holds for point after touchdowns.

Allen's stated self-improvement project this off-season was to improve YAC.
Well, he delivered.
This is the pattern with Allen. Every year, he looks back on the previous season, figures out what he can do better, and works with Jordan Palmer to improve it.
Based on his performance so far this season, in the next off season he's going to struggle to find out stuff to fix.

I think Motor is a helluva back. He can do it all. Very reliable
We're just a pass 1st team.
And bright with plenty of situational awareness. He had an opportunity to score a TD, but he had the sense to go down on the 2 yard line this week. He's a smart player.
Contrast this with McKenzie who failed to get out of bounds on the last play of the Miami game.

In Miami, it was 100 degrees in the shade. If they hadn't rationed his time, he might have gone onto the injured list with the eleven other starters.

Wanted to see what the level of concern is for our Bills after the tough loss in Miami. Regardless of how you view Tua and the Dolphins, it seems likely that they will control 1st place in the AFC East for the foreseeable future.
I am as optimistic as any about about our chances this year; however, I think most would agree that reaching our ultimate Super Bowl goal this year will be impacted by our ability to secure the #1 seed in the AFC.
Miami's upcoming schedule:
@Cin
@NYJ
Min
Pit
@Det
@Chi
Cle
Bye
Hou
With Miami now essentially having a 2 game lead with the tiebreaker, our injury situation, and difficult next 4 games, how confident are you in Buffalo regaining control in the AFC East (and competing in the home field race)?
I think today clearly demonstrated we are superior to the Dolphins, but sometimes the best team does not always prevail.
Thoughts? Go Bills!
Very confident. The Dolphins are an improving team, but Dolphins don't do well in the cold. On a frozen windy December in Buffalo, the Bills should win handily which will negate today's game. None of the other leading contenders in the AFC look like world beaters, so the Bills still look good for the number one seed.
But then, we're only three weeks into the season.

I haven't seen Allen push a pass like the one to Mckenzie in a very long time. He forgot all about his foot work. They beat themselves.
1. Miss fg opportunities right before halftime
2. Dropped TD by Davis
3. Dropped pick 6 Malino
4. Missed fg from what 39 yards
5. Not running the ball at the 1 yardline then Allen turns back into rookie/ first year Allen and throws a push pass to a wide open Mckenzie
Where was Diggs and Davis big time players have to step up in big time moments THEY BEAT THEMSELVES.
They did beat themselves. The weather didn't help. It was like the Bataan Death March out there. But Miami is also a rapidly improving team.

It's not just the running, it's the continued refusing to slide and run out of bounds. He keeps saying I will, then doesn't. He has got to stop seeking contact.
Everyone needs a hobby. Some people collect stamps, some people watch football games. Allen's hobby is running through and over linebackers and defensive backs.

Good team guy, hard worker, and mildly competent, but the offense in that 2018 wild card playoff game (Jacksonville over Buffalo, 10-3) was just so painful to watch. Taylor was 17 of 37 for 134 yards and one interception. He was injured on the last drive and replaced by Peterman. That sums him up for me.

Having highlights with any song never works... It takes away from actually watching the highlights with the announcers screaming when something good happens.
Although I don't like the song, the clips in the video were cut at good times to go along with the music. So 10/10 to the creator.
The most important thing is that Josh Allen likes the song - this particular song is on his pre-game playlist.

Hot take: Kelly was a very good QB, not an elite QB. He belongs in the HOF because of his winning. He is in the Fouts/Moon/Aikman/Griese/Warner tier of HOF QBs not the Brady/Montana/Peyton/Elway/Marino tier.
This may be a bit unfair. As we saw last year in several games, Buffalo weather is not kind to quarterbacks. If he played in San Diego or Miami, he would have had a lot more passing yards.

It was a good career but his ambition to start at least one game for every team in the NFL remains sadly unfulfilled.
I predict the beard will come off almost immediately and he'll be able to get through airports without being recognized.

Hahaha, how cool is this team and with the all world talent Allen is blessed with, it’s his leadership that may be his greatest trait of all
Allen seems almost too good to be true, and yet he is. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop - this is the Bills after all - but it hasn't, and I'm starting to think it won't.

It's disturbing and frankly not something I want to think about ever again.

Elon Musk is the most consequential man of his time. In a hundred years, he'll be remembered as we remember Thomas Edison and Henry Ford today. He's set up the first successful electric auto company and been largely responsible creating a couple other industries from scratch (private space flight, Ebay). He's got several other irons in the fire - The Boring Company, being one example. However, unless he figures out a way to clone himself, there's only one of him, it would be a shame to see him get diverted from more worthwhile goals such as creating a permanent presence for humans in space over something like Twitter.
He must be seriously worried about the erosion of free speech to allow himself yet another distraction.

I know this sort of behavior is now expected from the Left but I still thought it was thread worthy.
One of the problems with one party government is corruption.

Quick reminder that after Republicans take back control of the Senate this November, here’s what we have to look forward to in 2024.
Elections to the U.S. Senate will be held on November 5, 2024, and 33 of the 100 seatsare up for regular election.
Of the 33 regularly scheduled elections in 2024, 21 seats were held by Democrats and 10 seats were held by Republicans.
It's ironic that the only thing that may keep the Democrats away from electoral obliteration this fall and in 2024 is Donald Trump's attempted takeover of the Republican Party. If he's successful, he'll drive away moderates, and the Democrats should write him a thank you note. If he's not and the Republicans put up reasonable candidates, all that will be left of the elected Democrats will be AOC and her clones in extremely safe progressive districts.

Well don’t pat CA on the back so quickly. They want to give $400 back to everyone who had a registered vehicle. This is regardless of need or the means of power for your vehicle. So someone who makes $500k a year and owns a Tesla and a Beemer they never drive gets $800I would never defend California, and that's a really bad policy especially because people who own electric vehicles generally have higher incomes than people driving gas powered vehicles and need the money less.

Here's a real cool idea. How about give the surplus back to the people that ponied it up to begin with. Simple solution a simple problem the government makes difficult.
I agree, and that's what states like California and several other states are doing when they refund gas taxes. Other states are reducing tax rates which sounds great until the stimulus money runs out and a recession comes and they need to raise taxes again in order to balance the books.
But if you're not going to send the money back to the people, might as well spend it on a new stadium for the Bills.
It is a bit misleading to say the people ponied it up. The funds were almost entirely borrowed, some with money freshly printed up by the Federal Reserve. What the Fed didn't print up, our children and grandchildren will be paying back, not us.

I don't live in NYS, and I'm not an expert on NY finances, but most states are swimming in money right now, thanks to the various COVID relief spending bills passed by Congress over the last two years. Many jurisdictions are struggling with figuring out how to spend it all. Another final tranche of aid is due to state and local jurisdictions this year. It's wise to spend one-time non-recurring revenues on projects like this, rather than on setting up new programs or cutting taxes where the ongoing spending will have to be made up out of General Fund revenues in future years.
Whether it's a good idea to spend it on a new stadium is another question. I think it is, but then I'm a Bills' fan, and I want to see the team stay in Buffalo.

And if they had taken Darnold we would very likely be looking for a QB yet again,
it nice that fate rolled in our direction, isn’t it, now we talk about CB & OL being needs, 👍
The Bills are a good organization, and with its support Darnold would have performed much better in Buffalo than he did with the Jets or Carolina. It's equally likely he would now be considered a competent QB, though he lacks Allen's physical abilities and intelligence.
And if Allen had been drafted by the Jets, he wouldn't be in the running for consideration as the best QB of his generation.
Allen and the Bills were lucky they found each other, and they've made the most of it.
