There is one so called draft expert poster here that rated Allen a third round pick because of his accuracy issues. So many Bills fans here were on the Josh Rosen bandwagon before the draft and quite frankly many were "astonished" when the Bills selected Allen with that #7. In fact, the days leading up to that 2018 draft so many fans here were saying we should trade "the farm" to the NY Giants in order to move up to #2 to draft Rosen. One of our heralded mega posters stated he was "gut punched" by the Allen selection. So many Bills fans here likened Allen to Kyle Boller and stated he will never be any good because nobody fixes their completion percentage! Some of us here put up numerous instances of players fixing their completion percentage and so many here saying, nope a bum forever. Even after his first NFL season with all the issues to the Buffalo offense so many Bills fans here were still complaining the Bills made the wrong choice. Thankfully, the Buffalo FO built a solid team around Josh so he could develop properly. Some of the very best receivers in the NFL in Diggs, Beasley, Brown. Most all Bills fans now see that tremendous heart, drive to win instilled in Josh Allen and have come to love him. Also, for his blue collar work ethic. No other QB drafted in the last five years even compares to Allen as a Buffalo Bill IMHO. Not Mahomes, not Watson, not Murray, not Prescott. Allen is the perfect QB for the Buffalo Bills. Also, thankfully, the Bills FO in Beane, McD saw the talent in Allen ahead of those other NFL teams in 2018 and drafted the right guy. P.S. I have been wrong too, and that is with Bills OC Brian Daboll. Although, I'm still not entirely sold on his game planning, play calling at times. Plus, the Bills run game should be more of a priority going into the cold weather and at times its like Buffalo only uses it as a diversion at times. That with the QB the leading rusher in several games this season. Besides Allen running, the Bills only called 11 RB runs against Arizona. Allen with 49 passing attempts. The offense should be much more balanced. Nonetheless, there is no denying Allen has developed into that so much sought after franchise QB that this team has been looking for since Jim Kelly and the 90's. Daboll has hand a hand in that.

Just a thought here, Jim Kelly opted for the USFL because of the past history of the Bills owner reluctance to pay players. Tom Cousineau anyone? The difference came down to like 10k. That, and the fact that the then current GM Stew Barber set up a dinner for the player and agent and then never showed up, no call, nothing. Later on when Bill Polian got working to bring in Kelly to Buffalo after the USFL fell, several owners were after Jim Kelly. He signed in Buffalo because they made him the highest paid QB in the league. As far as Josh Allen goes... I could be wrong, but my take is money is not the most important thing to this young man. He wants to win and as long as the GM keeps building the offense for the Bills to win I see Allen being happy in Buffalo. This. After that, whatever it takes.

The Chiefs, certainly seem to have the Ravens number. Week 3, 2020. Lamar Jackson 15 of 28 for 97 yards, 1 TD, 4 sacks. rating 73.1 Meanwhile, Mahomes against that Ravens defense #1 in points allowed, #8 in yards allowed 31 of 42 for 385 yards, 4 TDs, 133.5 rate. The Chiefs beat the Ravens last season too. The Titans used the Bills defensive scheme to beat the Ravens in the playoffs last season 28-12. On another note, Darn good thing the Bills found their run game against New England on that cold and rainy, windy day. Winter is coming!

One dimensional offenses usually are. Make the QB stay in the pocket and throw...Cam Newton's downfall. Josh Allen, with that arm of his, no spot on the field is safe in front of him. If he ever gets that deep arc bomb of Russell Wilson's down...good lord!

Interesting note, the 2020 Ravens offense is 31st in passing attempts and passing yards. #1 in rushing attempts and #1 in rushing yards. While I'm a big fan of a good run game...I'd rather have Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense.

The only team as bad as the Jets are the 1-7 Jags...can't wait to see Saint Doug fired. So, if the Jets manage to win this their only competition for that #1 overall right now is Jacksonville. A place where Lawrence might actually want to go...maybe.

And that Heart, the heart of a lion! Made me tear up when I heard this.

The Alice Cowboys might have found the D...

The Bills found their offense from the first four games. Found the defense from 2019. 16 hits on Wilson? 7-2 Terry Bradshaw hates Buffalo...probably still hurting from that kick in the head from Jim Haslett..

The entire TEAM gets a game ball IMO. Coaches, players and even the ball boy! 7-2.

So sweet, what a win!

OMG what a win!!

W00T, first down!!

AWESOME !! neutral zone infraction. 3rd and 1

Just get a first down, or two.

Oh baby, KlEIN... 16 hits on RW

JA, 31of 38 415 yards, 3 TDs

Imagine what it would be like today to be in the stadium...

Who would have thunk it!! 44 points!!

14 hits on RW!! Bills D

Great effing play, and play call. Bills D!!!

KLEIN!!!!!

While Bills fans are bemoaning this years defense they still sit at 14th in points allowed, 16th in yards. Last season the injury bug didn't bother Buffalo much, its hitting pretty hard this season. What can ya do? 6-2 Buffalo Bills vs 6-1 Seattle Seahawks. Seahawks only loss coming against 5-2 Arizona 37-34. Wins, 2-6 Atlanta, 2-5 New England, 2-6 Dallas, 4-3 Miami, 2-5 Minnesota, 4-5 San Fran. They have beaten only one team with a winning record in week 4, Miami. Buffalo Bills, 0-8 Jets, 4-3 Dolphins, 5-3 Rams, 4-3 Raiders, 5-2 Titans, 7-1 Chiefs, 0-8 Jets, 2-6 Patriots. 5 of 8 games against good teams and their two losses against playoff teams in Chiefs, Titans. The Seattle Seahawks defense is far worse 24th in points allowed, 32nd in yards allowed. 32nd in passing yards allowed, 9th in rushing yards allowed. Gee, I wonder how Buffalo will attack this Seahawks defense? Buffalo has a shot if they can get their passing offense working like it did in the first four games.

Afterwards Nix had the audacity to say "see, who says we don't trade up". Look back now at all the Nix/Whaley drafts with so many failures its no wonder the franchise was so dysfunctional for so long.

People will think that since Hackett is learning under LaFleur that he learned that scheme and can run it. Never mind that the guy can't mentor a rookie at all as some team will probably hire him if the Packers make the SB. This years play from Josh Allen has me reflecting that Daboll is learning as he goes and is getting better. This last game where the Bills pounded the ball very well against the Patriots and didn't have Allen go pass happy has me thinking Daboll has changed his ways. Now, if he can work out how to have Allen / the offense line beat a heavy blitz he will have it all.
