I think what the announcers were saying that in a battle of field positions, it was important to not take the sack and throw the ball away.
Agreed. There were at least 2 times yesterday when I screamed "throw it away", only to watch Allen take a sack in slow motion. Learning to throw the ball away seems like a simple, immediate improvement that Allen should be able to make.
Overall, I was happy with the way we played yesterday. The Bills are going with a variation of the Mike Barnes Karate Kid III "first you win a point, then you lose a point" strategy. In our case, it's "first you lose twice to the Pats in the regular season, then you beat them in the playoffs to inflict maximum pain". The Bills' revenge tour continues.

You and me pretty similar. Went to my first game in 84.
Also, I grew up just outside of Winslow.

Been on the bandwagon since 1986. Welcome aboard!

He sort of stated the reason for his anti-Bills bias when they were talking about the Super Bowl era Bills, and he said we had to beat the Bills to get to the Super Bowl when I played in Cincy, and we never could do it. That's got a lot to do with it IMO.
I could've sworn he said "we had to do it", which they did in '88. I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually turned on the tv at 8:15 and said "Nice, Collinsworth is calling the game".

We chose the right Brown.

As Dr Marvin Monroe would say, “The problem is that you don’t care whether you get good attention for, say, getting high marks in school, or bad attention for, say, turning your father into a jack-in-the-box."

The Ravens deserved to lose for doing that fake kneeldown at the end of the first half. That was a chickens**t move, IMO.

I think McDermott stole a page from Levy's Super Bowl XXV playbook.

...Also When have we seen Josh Allen throw a WR open? It's something good QB's always do. Throw to an open space and allow the WR to run to that open open space.
This has been a major complaint of every QB we've had for the past decade+. I imagine the back room discussions go something like this:
BILLS SCOUT: "He has the accuracy, arm strength, & mobility, plus all the intangibles. He also does a good job throwing his receivers open."
BILLS GM: "Get out of my office!"

I've seen Joker twice & will probably go see it again. Best film I've seen since I don't know when.

I expect Belichick will employ a 2-3-6 defense to take away the short passing game & encourage Josh Allen to take off running. "Team, in order to beat the Bills, we have to let Josh Allen run for 100 yards." The plan will backfire when Dawson Knox makes some key downfield blocks, paving the way for Allen's 200 yard rushing day.

I'd rather kick the tires on TE OJ Howard, who the Bucs seem content to use as a FB.

Shurmur wasn't alone in his pre-draft assessment of Allen. Most of the scouting reports (that we knew of) had him as a high ceiling, low floor prospect.
From NFL.com:
Prospect Grade
5.90
Chance to become NFL starter
Likely be the biggest boom-or-bust quarterback prospect in the draft. Allen's size and arm talent are prototypical for early first-round picks, but it's rare to find a quarterback with such a low college completion rate become a successful pro. Allen's receivers struggled to separate, but there were plenty of times where his lack of anticipation and post-snap plan did him in. Allen can make some truly special throws, but his ability to improve the mental part of his game will determine whether he's a good NFL starter or just another big, strong-armed guy.
But hey, if it gets the team fired up & Allen tosses 5 TDs, super.

Me neither. I'm just saying it wouldn't be the slightest bit surprising if he is guilty.

This seems pretty believable, if only because it follows the same exact pattern as Brown's actions with the Raiders:
- Act like an ***hole
- Issue a (supposedly) heartfelt apology
- Act like an even bigger ***hole
Add in the fact that Brown is a complete douchebag who doesn't think the rules apply to him, and it's really hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Can't believe Gonzalez wouldn't want to play for Dick Jauron. What was he thinking?!?

Cannot believe nobody is mentioning Milano! He was all over the field today and played like a madman.
Agreed! He CAN do... the Milano Mosh!

But that's EXACTLY my point: IF Brown was planning all along to void his deal & work his way to the Patriots, then a contract with the Bills means that we'd be dealing with this mess instead of the Raiders. That said, I don't really think that he had devised some long term "grand plan" to end up in NE.
I don't disagree with that. My point is that Brown's antics were not some carefully orchestrated ploy to end up on the Pats. He's been a knucklehead since day 1, the Steelers enabled it, and it eventually spiraled out of control.

It could've been Brown's plan all along. Steelers refused to trade him to the Patriots so he wasn't getting there from Pittsburgh.
Maybe Brown knew the Raiders were the only team dumb enough to send the Steelers a 3rd and a 5th in order to ultimately send Brown to the Pats.
If Brown was really looking to stick it to the Steelers, wouldn't he have wanted them to get as little as possible in return?

I agree on the craziness. But if the Bills had traded for him, they'd probably also be out a pick or picks.
Totally agree with that part. Honestly, I don't like the fact that McBeane even attempted to bring this guy in.

OK, so here's a question: Trying to remember, but didn't AB actually approve the trade to the Raiders? He blew up any talk of a trade to Buffalo, so I thought he agreed to go there. If his evil plan was always to get himself kicked off a team to join the Pats, then he just as easily could have done this to us.
Just now, Doc said:No, Beane didn't want to redo his contract. Albert Breer has clarified this.
It's a moot point. If Brown was planning all along to void his deal & work his way to the Patriots, then a contract with the Bills wouldn't have mattered.
If we're saying that Brown decided YESTERDAY that he wanted to go to the Pats, I'll buy it, but that doesn't come close to wiping out his craziness over the last 9 months (and it sounds like much longer than that).

Unless this was Browns plan all along. If he suddenly becomes a great teammate, I think we can all call bs
I don't believe that for a second, but I guess we'll soon find out.
