    ...maybe I'm having yet ANOTHER senior moment, but I thought there were plenty of kudos early on in practice about this kid.....think there was a "WHO IS YOUR DARK HORSE(S) TO MAKE THE TEAM thread and many mentioned Wallace AND Foster, a/k/a the 'Bama Connection with Daboll......what the hell happened??...

     

    Pads went on and he disappeared 

     

    Hasn’t been good for a while

  2. Let me be the one to point out... I know everyone loves this kid and so do I, and I know everyone wants him to be a Kyle Williams type...

     

    but Harrison has specifically asked to stop being compared to Kyle and being called little Kyle or mini meatball... he wants to be Harrison Phillips...

     

    lets let him be Harry because there is only 1 Kyle Williams and he doenst want to be him... he wants to be a Harrison Phillips, All Pro DT

    That's possible, I didn't watch entire games and focus on the D.  But their defensive talent is really irrelavent with regards to scouting Allen.  His supporting cast was really bad and his stats that everyone judged him on suffered.

     

    I understand that. I said that Wyoming didn’t do Allen any favors... except get him ready for the pro game because he ran a heavy dose of pro styled offense

     

    last year he had talent on offense. (WR, RB, TE, Cmade practice squads in NFL )and he was better but still needs to be more consistent

    I think that conference is fine for them, generally.  I'm saying that the actual talent on THIS TEAM, was FCS level.  They were really bad and it made it hard on Allen.

     

    I get they weren’t that talented offensively but they had a top defense in the conference 

     

    far from FCS level as a team... I was scouting when UB returned to 1A. That was a talentless team that had no business on a 1A field

     

    Allen wasn’t in a spot that did him favors. I understand that...

    In my opinion, the stats that made everyone hate him, were a result of his abysmal supporting cast at Wyoming.  Most small, untalented schools, play other untalented schools, so stats are still relevant.   Wyoming was playing out of their class.  They had no talent, especially on offense (minus Allen of course).  The interior oline was among the worst I have seen.  

     

    Plus he played in a pro-style offense, so his stats suffered from that as well.  Modern college offense lends itself to better stats, especially completion percentage.  Another factor of playing at Wyoming...

     

    The stats guys hated Allen.  The eyeball guys loved him.  I'm with the later.

     

    If Allen played with better talent he would have went #1.

     

    How is Wyoming playing out of there class?Just asking?

     

    they play in the mountain west conference... a perfect sized conference for them because it’s not power 5... unless you think they should be relegated to FCS

    I never said it was because he was from Wyoming. What I’m saying is he has never had the chance to play with a lot of talent surrounding him. Do you suppose that if he had played in a power 5 with real receivers and an offensive line that didn’t resemble a colander he might have had a better completion percentage? When he has time to stand in the pocket, he can be lethal and the entire field is his playground. All I’m really trying to say is he has a lot of haters because he’s always been in less than ideal situations. Wentz was absolutely able to dominate at NDSU, but that team was already world beaters. The year before Allen came to Wyoming they were 2-10.  If you had put Allen at NDSU would he have dominated too? Don’t know and we never will, can he dominate in the NFL with good coaching and talent that is on par with the rest of the league? Maybe. He just needs the chance to show it. 

     

    Of course Josh Allen would have dominated at NDSU.

     

    I don’t discriminate against where a player went to college or what round he was drafted in.. it means nothing.. I’ve been around the game my whole life as the son of a coach... probably too much 

     

    It would mean nothing to me if Josh was at USC.. as I said earlier I’ve seen TONS of good QBs come from non power 5 schools over the years. I understand talent gap 

     

    I was around UB football at its infancy when it restarted at D1.. I know what a bad football team looks like lol

     

    But Those teams at Wyoming with Allen would scrape those start up UB teams lol

    I agree with this. I don’t think fans didn’t like Allen because he went to Wyoming. The completion percentage was the OVERWHELMING issue people had. Is he accurate enough? 

     

    Exactly. Not that completion % = accuracy but yes people were suspect over 57%

     

    to think we didn’t like him cus he was a Wyoming Cowboy is ludicrous

    The crazy thing about this whole Allen story is, Firebough knew what they had in Allen and they couldn’t give him away. He fell into Wyoming’s lap after their first choice got a P5  offer. Everybody crapped all over him the second Mel Kiper mentioned his name. The thought was he could never succeed in the NFL because he didn’t play for a power conference. Wyoming knew what they had though. The Bills fans now see what he is and can become but most people still think he is trash. He’s just going to have to prove himself once again. The kid has not been handed an ounce of credit besides from his coaches, his teammates, and his teams fans who will look past some coachable flaws.

     

    I had never been a Bills fan before the draft, but I am a huge Josh Allen fan and am now a Bills fan because he was my guy at Wyoming. The way JA plays will win you over. He’s going to make dumb mistakes and at times you’re just going to say “what the hell was that” but you’ll use that same phrase when he does something no other person can physically do. I created an account here at TBD right after the draft and it has been funny to see how the tides are shifting from negative JA to I NEED more JA in my life. If he doesn’t start week one, then his last preseason game will be the last time you see one of his “you’ve got to be shi++ing me, that’s not even possible” plays while listening to the media and everybody else bag on him being a bust, all the while knowing you NEED more JA in your life. Just know, JA has been hearing all the hate and he has a fire in his belly that will not let him fail. Soon enough everyone will know too and you will be able to say, “ I told you so”. 

     

    You know that literally has nothing to do with people not liking him ...

     

    do do you know how many good QBs have come out of non power conference schools?

     

    nobody disliked Big Ben cause he played in the MAC

     

    it had nothing to do with the school

    Is it cheaper and easier to park at the stadium for a preseason game?  I haven’t been to a preseason game in a while, just regular and are used to parking a little ways away

    You can park for free on the streets behind ECC. It’s literally a 2 min walk to the stadium

    This seems like a move to try to slowly move the Bills to the UK. As @BringBackFergy and I have been saying, it's only a matter of time before they realize Pegula owns the Sabres AND Bills, which of course is against NFL by-laws.

    Idk if you are joking but he most certainly isn’t breaking any NFL bylaws but owning both the Bills and Sabres 

     

    they both play their games in Buffalo NY, the same market so there is no problem

    Just came across this article that flew under the radar from a small newspaper near me.  The writer is somewhat critical of The Bills Mafia stadium antics which have gone viral.

     

    Ironically he says something I never thought of.  He mentions that the Bills org is not happy about these viral videos.  When the built a new stadium is built downtown, the high ticket prices will keep this kind of “riff raff” (his words) out of the stadium.

    The Bills dislike it soooo much....

     

    that they invited the WWE to the Ralph and smashed A WWE superstar through a table at the field house 

     

    i think they low key enjoy it

    he is not that fast overall though is he? Explosiveness is Much more important I feel. Out of breaks and second gear are much more valuable than top speed. how's the the hands these days though ?

    No he isn’t as fast as Goodwin but he is explosive in and out of his breaks. And he has better leaping ability than Odell

     

    He always was a good hands Catcher at Baylor but his catch % in the NFL hasn’t been great but it can be a product of his QB play

     

    he could be a golden tate, Doug Baldwin type with more speed

    NSFW

     

    If you are a true Syracuse hoops fan, this “rant” by Jim Boeheim supporting G-Mac makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.  I watch it before almost every Cuse game.  Gets me jacked up.

     

    MY absolute favorite Boeheim moment..
