Yup Dare to dream big...

Myself personally, Its not beyond the realms of possibility in my humble opinion. The Buffalo Bills still have the rest of the season to make improvements on an already very well coached, well manned football team. Think about it, Buffalo almost beats the high flying Patriots on what was arguably Allens worst game as a pro in only his 16th start. Combine that with some of the leagues perennial juggernauts hampered with injury minus franchise signal callers. At the beginning of the season Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns were dark horse favorites by many to go all the way. So why not this season? Why not Josh Allen? Why not Buffalo? Watch for the Bills GM Beane to make a blockbuster deal before the trade deadline...

Double hernia surgery has given me a whole new perspective on paying the price. I'm paying the price everytime I caugh, laugh, sneeze, fart, you name it, I'm paying the price. Happy BDay Chandler#81 Nice write up buddy, thanks Lol, at Augie, don't make me laugh!

Buffalo goes into the bye at 4 - 1 and all of the sudden the rest of the league doesn't look that formidable. Are we seeing the process begining to take hold? The Bills are far from playing their best game with a young and talented QB playing in only his 16th start. Thanks Shaw, Virgil for great thoughts/ review, awesome stuff guys.

It would not surprise me If J A was practically begging to go back in and finish the game. Body language said it all. Back in the days of J K Allen would have finished the game. In all liklihood won on a last minute drive. A star would be born. The football gods chose a different path because they are not looking for a one man army. Been there, done that, and as entertaining as Cam Newton was in his prime he never reached full potential. Football is a team sport said one football god to another. To become a Champion you must stand united. So lets make Josh Allen One Buffalo strong...

Or sooner The way Allen tried to shake off the KO reminded me a little of Kelly. Kids as fearless as they come. I'm not sure If thats a good thing, or bad thing. Worked out well with J K.

I don't think anything scares J A more then letting the team down IMO. If that answers your question...

I agree, no shame in getting schooled by B B. Josh Allen gave his body up for the team trying to make up for his mistakes. Paid dearly. The game will haunt Allen which is fine by me. It should...

I think most players know their limitations. Fighting over errant throws might be something Jones doesn't excel at or feels vulnerable to injury. I have a better idea, stop with the bad mechanics Allen. Awesome review Shaw...

Well that explains it then...

If you look at the stats on Brady yesterday, one might say Tom Bradys done in the NFL. This just in, I don't think he is...

Appreciate the heads up, but my point remains. More to a QB and leader of a football team then shows up in the stats every week. Used to be completion percentage, now thats up detractors move on to something else. What amounts to about one full season play in game starts still leaves allot of developing for a QB entering the NFL about as raw and gifted with god given talent as they come in my humble opinion.

Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco are in the top 10 in QB rating with 1 win combined this season. Ever think there might be more to the starting QB and leader of a football team then stats show? Myself personally, again talks cheaper then the Cheatriot ways. If Josh Allen is on the field for the last minute drive on Sunday NOBODY is stopping THEM... ... Not in my not so humble opinion... ...One Buffalo Strong...

The play from the QB position will always be a deciding factor in any football game in my humble opinion. The Pats have been beating down every opponent they face this season. NFL QB's couldn't even muster up a TD before Buffalo scored against them. Sure, Josh Allen stunk the place up with his play on Sunday. Allen is still very early in his development regardless If you like hear it or not facing arguably the best Defensive guru in the game coaching a D that eats ALL NFL QB's for Lunch. Myself personally, its easy to understand why J A struggled. Whats Tom Brady's excuse?

No doubts on my end MDH. B B is real good at making young and inexperienced QB's look really bad. Allen seemed to be fighting his way out of it. Doing what he had to do, to move the football. Talk is cheap , but don't you feel like If that was Josh Allen out there on the last drive, Bills win? Don't get me wrong, I like Barkley...

Allen is learning the hard way to take what the oppositions D gives you. In B B's case sometimes Its not much so I can understand how a young signal caller can grow impatient. Myself personally, I think Allen studies the game tape and comes away learning a valuable lesson. Had I just taken what the opposition was giving me... ...and watch Gore run...

By way of measurement. If you have a D that can neutralize the Best QB that ever played the game. As bad as the loss felt, thinking about how uncomfortable we made it for OLD Tommy boy, Still puts a smile on my face...

Fighting over Josh Allens football could literally kill someone If you think about it.

I think as Josh Allen gains experience and confidence you might start seeing a more aggressive O in my humble opinion Gu. Beating teams like the Pats or K C will require the pedal to the metal a full 60 minutes in all likelihood. Gave McD an A ...

Great start, Hasn't come that easy for us. Buffalo has been tested, faced adversity, and prevailed. Tom Brady is at the top of the world, and likes playing in Buffalo, We need to change the way he feels...

Do you think players like Poyer , Hyde or Edmunds are overachieving? (If you dont mind my asking Shaw)

My answer to OP's question is yes, and here is one of the biggest reasons why IMO. When you take into consideration the difference between having an average QB vs a franchise QB playing by far the most important position on an NFL football team. The impact a franchise QB has goes a long way when it comes to the overall balance of a football team IMO. How well the game is managed, how well the football is protected. How well rested the D is kept. How well the football is distributed to the Bills play makers. The unity, the stability, the list goes on. It all falls on the broad shoulders of Josh Allen... ...One Buffalo strong...

Understanding the Bills are simply a bunch of emotionally charged over-achievers making enough plays to win games is the one comment I disagree with you on Shaw. I do however think its what Bills fans have grown accustomed to over the years. Myself personally, I feel like the New Era Buffalo Bills are barely scratching the surface of their true potential. Thanks for the awesome review.

The Ford truck needs some mileage put on it ScottLaw, to break it in. Singletary out of the lineup was very noticeable in the run game despite how well Gore played. It hurt the whole O IMO. (C J Yeldon is to upright of a runner )
