Buffalo716

Remember when bear hunting.... It's always customary to bring a extra friend along as a sacrifice to smokey It's not about being faster than the bear .. just faster than John

Josh torched saleh when he was DC of 49rs I think it's more just matchups... Houston does match up very well vs our offense ... Kincaid really does change everything.. because he's the guy who runs that 20 yd corner behind everybody when they're creeping up

I don't think you're sliding me I'm just saying the people in Buffalo are proud.. All the stuff that people in the city have gone through forever from the loss of jobs.. all the sports heartbreak.. the blizzards.. even recently the tops massacre This is a city that prideful and tough and embraces people who are willing to embrace this place that we know doesn't have all the Glam and glitz of the rest of the world ... I'm not throwing hands with people at a bar if they had your opinion.. but I have seen fights break out because people have trashed Josh Allen People who have little money are willing to donate to Josh's causes because we love him.. the city has rallied around Josh to the point where he is The shining light of Buffalo He's literally the best thing that's happened to the city in a long time... I'm talking the actual City and region... Even Jim Kelly was not embraced as much... Josh is a superhero to all the kids at the Cancer wards and to all the kids in the city And he's the hope of all the 75 and 80 year old men who have never seen that Lombardi trophy hoisted by the bills

The bills would never trade him.. we have his contract rights This is the sorry sap stuff that I talk about.. people who have this mindset literally don't think Buffalo should have nice things Saying this stuff to people who live in Buffalo would literally start fights at bars.. it's easy to say that when you're living in beautiful California but you're basically saying that the City of Buffalo doesn't deserve Josh Allen and he doesn't like us If he forces it I would trade him to the freaking panthers

I get it it's been a frustrating season Josh is also a person who 5 days ago was laughing maniacally while trucking his way into the end zone That passion and love is still there.. like any professional who starts getting paid the most money It does SAP some of the consistent joy out of the game because it is a job you have to be business-like and take it seriously The balance is still finding that Joy.. which Josh did even have 5 days ago I don't think it's a lost cause

Going back to the day we drafted him what makes you think he wanted to play 10 or 13 years? He literally said his favorites were Tom Brady and Brett favre both guys who pushed it to the absolute physical limit I wouldn't have those guys as my icons if I just wanted to Coast for 10 years get money and retire Those are typically guys you idolize when you have a fire.. and again as I said there are ebbs and flows two football seasons games and careers I've seen you absolutely meltdown with the Oklahoma Sooners and I was always telling you you're overreacting Josh wants to retire after 10 years well that means he'll retire as a bill next year lol But he's also not going to go to the Hall of Fame if he does... Which again I think he certainly has that drive He was mad when he won the MVP because we didn't win the Super bowl... That fire just didn't disappear in 4 months It's a long season and he's feeling the grind.. he's also the guy who bounces back

No they are not It's the NFL.. it's known for parity where the worst go to the first all the time You can't poo poo on the bills winning the AFC East the last x amount of years Let alone losing by a field goal outmanned to the Chiefs who have been to three straight Super bowls Matt Stafford's lions teams wouldn't even be in those situations.. Stafford was 0-3 in the playoffs losing by an average of over two touchdowns The bills have lost by a field goal to the three-time straight AFC champions who also want a Super bowl... Losing by three and losing by 15 and never winning a playoff game are completely different circumstances I 100% don't agree Allen's parallel is closer to Peyton Manning who didn't win a Super bowl till he was 30 and couldn't get by Brady

No it's not lol Matt Stafford was absolutely surrounded by a much worse franchise He didn't win One NFC North title with Detroit... So they finally bit the bullet and got a king's Ransom including another pro bowl quarterback back .. but guess what still probably not enough... And that trade gave Detroit enough pieces to be good Josh Allen has been a part of a team that has consistently won the AFC East and beaten top teams around the NFL The actual circumstances are nowhere near the same... Matt Stafford's win percentage with the Lions was .452 Josh is almost .700 Matt Stafford had much much much much worse situations

Exactly Anybody who thinks he's going to run off the California just because that's where he's from Clearly hasn't understood the DNA which Josh is built from... First of all there's plenty of other 10-year starting quarterbacks who didn't run away to another franchise Brady and Manning did it at the end of their careers not at their peak Philip Rivers did it his last year Nothing that Josh has ever said since he was a 20 year old kid at Wyoming would ever show that he is going to run away because of adversity That's why he was supposed to be special.. because he had the mindset to overcome adversity 99% of NFL players don't play in their hometown lol Matt Stafford stuck it out 11 years in Detroit and only made the playoffs two or three times Detroit failed Matt Stafford a Hall of Fame quarterback much worse than Buffalo has done to Josh... We just haven't given him a healthy top five roster We have given him rosters consistently enough to win the AFC East 4-5 straight times and beat the Chiefs five straight in the regular season He's either been a liar his whole life and he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who built his entire career in Buffalo Or he's serious and he understands there are ebbs and flows to football seasons teams and careers This next half of Josh's career is super important to keeping him happy and satisfied I do not believe Josh is just going to force himself away to California to run away from adversity... It's not the Josh Allen we've grown to love

Best Edge defender is kind of a slight overstatement One of the 10 best sure Top 7 in run stuff last year edge... Top 11 year before Not in the top seven right now ... There's some top Edge guys who get 20 plus run stuff's consistently Get PFF has him rated as the highest but I take that with a grain of salt... Greg has never reached those highs ... A top five seven run stuffing edge.. there's a big difference between number one and him whether it's myles Garrett or whoever Garrett stops the run much better consistently over the last 3 years

Yes and Calais Campbell is another 6 ft 7 guy from Miami But he filled out his frame to a 310 lb beast who could play every single position along the defensive front In any system or front Greg has kept the body of a defensive end he's definitely never maxed out his frame as 275.. and he's not an explosive pass rusher off the edge He might be better suited if he did bulk up to 290 + playing outside and pass rushing on the inside And maybe his career would look different 6 ft 7 while being a former high School safety his athleticism should be on full display ... if it's not... Maybe he should bulk up

12 plays?

Gregg has a crazy PFF grade which I don't think matches my eye He's definitely probably a top 15 guy but it's all because of his ability to make plays in the backfield on running backs.. which isn't even doing as much But his pass rushing for an 80 million player is not something that I would throw it for a player who can't get to the quarterback consistently That's a lot of money for a guy who's probably not even going to get 9 sacks

I think people are reading into that quote the wrong way I think McDermott is saying he didn't become bad magically this week... He is a good coach who is struggling.. I think that's what McDermott was getting at not that he's always been bad If he believe that he should fire him

To be fair the defense was really good in the second half And Joe Brady keeps calling mesh concepts on third down all the time to the point defensive players are running the route Like Brady needs to open up his playbook.. or Josh needs to just start checking out of his plays occasionally Realistically Dawkins getting a false start on 4th and 1 is something that's inexcusable for a four-time pro bowler... Like and I don't even think we would have had a good play drawn up But in that situation to me all you do is quarterback power left.. you literally pull a lineman and get Josh going .. but we didn't even have the chance

I mean sure he's not absolutely horrible He's probably between 20 and 32 for an inside linebacker in the NFL Probably a 5 to 6 million a year player we gave him double because he had one good year... And we were pressing because we let our pro bowl middle linebacker walk who was actually top 10 He makes some plays... Not consistently anymore and he's always hurt and slower

The second you said IR osh for all of next year you literally just lost every single person lol He's getting paid $350 million and is the face of our franchise... He's getting paid to bounce back

Considering diggs did run himself out of Minnesota and by all accounts Buffalo history says he's going to do the same in New England sooner than later I think Mac hollins is a much better locker room guy than diggs... Diggs is a passionate player but he's also shown he could sew division Football is a violent game ... Keon Coleman does have talent... He's not a choir boy When you bring in players who actually don't care... Like loose wires.. you don't always get a crazy football player who lays it all out on the line Sometimes you get a loose wire like keon who is just cashing a paycheck... Football is not an exact science These guys go through processes pre draft where people even gauge how much they want it... Everybody has talent in the NFL.. a six round pick who works harder will have a longer career than a first round pick with no work ethic... Sure we all want dogs.. most of those dogs go early... Like Derek stingley or will Anderson jr Will Anderson Jr was the number three overall pick.. derek stingley Jr was taken third overall.. Two top three overall picks..the bills haven't picked that high in literally well over a decade I have no doubt if we picked 5th we would have a blue chip... Their top defensive players were number three overall draft picks something the bills haven't had since even before McDermott

I do believe Brandon beane was a cap guy with Carolina among other roles Not to sound corny but he was beane counting

Bills fans are a hardy bunch I was salty last nite but more because how much Josh was getting abused not just the loss We were really close to losing Josh last nite with an injury

How you feeling after the game Virgil Like your mood not your feelings towards the bills lol Are you bummed or over it

The fact you say we haven't since 2020 completely make your opinion not even worth reading Seeing as we literally played the AFC champions to a field goal game last year severely handicapped And we played them to another field goal game severely handicapped It would actually show we are not as far off as what you're thinking... When have the bills had all pros consistently like the Ravens and severely blown everything? Everybody here says up and down Andy reads the best coach in the NFL and spagnola is the best defensive coordinator... And they have more talent than us But we're barely losing while being more injured? That kind of makes Sean McDermott look good that he beats them five straight times in the regular season and barely loses in the postseason while being more dinged up and supposedly well out coached... You would expect that to be a 35 to 17 loss The bills have been field goals away

That's ridiculous because 14 teams make the playoffs and they all have a chance The Giants went to the Super bowl twice and won from the 6th seed Every team has a chance unless you have a tragic quarterback come playoffs... But even then Mark rypin won a Superbowl.. so did Nick foles It's about who gets hot at the right time

Man I've had Dion's back here before he was even a pro bowler I don't know he probably thought Josh would get rid of the ball by then because it's actually deep in a drop But that's obviously inexcusable and he's supposed to be a captain He be slapping up guys right after we lost smiling Listen it is a long season and it is a job and you can't take losses too hard.. but Dion has gone from chippy chip on his shoulder To I created an NFL award.. I'm on all the ex-nfl players podcasts.. everybody loves me in the league I still think he's very good.. this is his worst season in a while is false start today on 4th and 1 with the game on the line is f****** inexcusable

I'm just going to say one last thing while my thoughts are coherent and I'm only on my 7th Jack and Ginger now And I want to say this personally to all the Buffalo Bills fans on this website We're only getting one Josh Allen... I don't take any game for granted.. being a Bills fan is always a roller coaster.. I don't expect it any different even though we have the best player in the world I will never take it for granted and I really hope Josh has loved playing for this city community and fans all over the country I do appreciate every single game I get to watch... I don't know how many more times I'll be able to watch games with My Father So every single one yeah I enjoy and Josh is a warrior 4th and the Grand canyon and Josh hits a hook and lateral... This team still has some magic in it All the old timers remember all the crazy stuff you've seen... All the dramatic flair You really think the bills are winning a Super bowl on a 14 and 3 season where we smoke everybody? Or are we going to go on a run for the ages? Our Super bowl has always been written in the stars that it will be just like the bills history edge of your seat
