That first game of the season against the Ravens, the consensus was that Peterman would get the start and Allen, being so raw, would sit out that season. The game was in Baltimore, and it was also played in heavy rain. Buffalo didn't even have a first down until the 3rd quarter. Alas, Peterman was so horrible in that first half that they threw Allen to the wolves in the second half. This was also the game that veteran CB Vontae Davis retired at halftime. LeSean McCoy had 7 rushes for 22 yards, 3 targets in the pass game for 1 reception for -1 yards. In that first half, Peterman went 5 of 18 for 24 yards, 2 INTs. 3 sacks and had a passer rating of 0.0. Allen went 6 of 15 for 74 yards and 3 sacks. Buffalo was so overmatched in that game, it wasn't funny. That first season for Allen, the O-line was crap, as were their WRs; their leading receiver was Zay Jones, along with WR Robert Foster, and WR Kelvin Benjamin. That 2018 season was funky in that the Bills started four different QBs. This was also Brian Daboll's first season as OC. QB Josh Allen went 5 of 6 in those games. Allen was injured in week 6 against Houston. QB Derek Anderson went 0-for-2. QB Nathan Peterman went 0 for 2. QB Matt Barkley went 1 and 0. Buffalo finished 6-10. Just sayin.

Anything that hurts the Chiefs is okay with me. If they get hot, they can beat anyone this year...anyone!

To da Chiefs!

Yeah, Chiefs, Cowboys, Houston, Denver...and Chargers WIN! We can kiss KC goodbye!

Ohh, but wouldn't Buffalo be behind LA then?

So, who do we want to win? I'm guessing squeegles?

I suppose we will see...

The Bengals were about the hottest team in the NFL before this week, and Buffalo had the #1 defense against the pass. Higgins was out there playing with a concussion, and as someone else mentioned, he was literally playing out of his mind as he had 11 targets, caught 6 passes for 92 yards, and 2 TDs. Christian Benford had Ja"Marr Chase on lockdown as he had 8 targets, 5 receptions for 44 yards. If Buffalo had a defensive weakness prior to this game, it was their rush defense, and they held the Bengals lead RB Chase Brown to 12 rushes for 23 yards, which was a 1.9 yards per carry average. I read here so often Bills fans complaining about how bad the Bills GM is with signing these old players and what a bad job he has done. Let me say that the leading tackler in that Bengals game was Jordan Poyer with Shaq Thompson right behind him, and that latter signing has greatly improved the rush defense. Let's not forget that the Bengals put so much money into signing their receivers Chase, Higgins, and Gesicki. QB Joe Burrow took his team to the Super Bowl not that long ago. The one team that had most AFC teams that were afraid to face in the playoffs was Cincinnati. The Buffalo Bills did well to beat them, and as much as their superstar elite alien unicorn QB made some great plays, it was the Buffalo defense that really was the game breaker with the pick six by Benford and another INT right after by AJ Epenesa. Christian Benford had a game with the only sack on Burrow and a pick-six. Defense, yeah! Team effort won the game. My 2 cents.

Benford on him like a blanket! It also helped Buffalo that the Bengals are 32nd overall on defense in the NFL, and they didn't have their star pass rusher. You know, the one-star defensive player they chose to pay.

That and Higgins playing with a concussion.

Hey man, he is not elite as he failed to tackle Benford after that interception...the BUM!

As great as Josh Allen played today...it was that pick six by Benford that stole the show!

Don't be, Cincy fans can't help but be nice.

Josh Allen, the epitome of a franchise QB... no one better!!!

True that! The majority of the fans on this site were desperate for Beane to trade up with the NY Giants for the number two spot to draft Rosen. Thus giving up the farm for that guy! Then, after the Bills drafted Allen, so many here were crying like little children over the mistake the team made due to Allen's accuracy issues. I think many fans here fell in love with Allen in 2018 after that Minnesota game with his jumping over a LBer. One noted poster here who does his yearly NFL draft evaluation on all players, and in particular, the Buffalo players. He noted that he had a third-round grade on Josh Allen. The NY Jets, NY Giants, and Cleveland Browns were all bad teams then, and still are bad teams. So many Buffalo Bills fans here discount the change of culture that this current HC and GM have brought to this team since they were hired. It really is the difference, so now many, many NFL players want to come and play for this franchise. No knock on Josh Allen, I simply think that this team would have been successful in drafting Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, or even Lamar Jackson. Not as exciting or as loved here in Buffalo as Allen is, or perhaps not have won as many games.
