-Bills win the division. -#2 seed loses, making Bills the new #2 seed. -Patriots eliminated from playoffs. -Jets spoil their chances for a (likely) generational talent at QB. -Bills team looks incredible in a convincing win. -QB looks like an all-pro. -QB, WR, CB, LB, KR all named to pro bowl. Breaking the drought was a great day... but this has me on another level. This feels like the dawn after a long, long night. LETS GO!!!

I never understood what people saw in Kyle Orton. He was 32 years old and was complete garbage his entire career. I was more excited about JP Losman, EJ Manuel and Trent Edwards. At least they were young.

We drafted a rookie QB in the 5th round to be backup. He hasn't played a single snap and you're already done with him? I think maybe we shouldn't use another late round pick on a backup QB, but that's just me.

Allen is a great QB. Mahomes is a great QB. Rodgers is a great QB. Just enjoy it, guys. The other two guys have at least one Super Bowl trophy. Any other bickering isn’t necessary. Throw the stats out. Josh doesn’t even have a playoff win yet. Get excited, be happy, pace yourself.

These might be the least funny captions of all time.

Silver lining if Daboll leaves: we can probably get any offense coordinator we want. O-Coordinators would kill to work with Josh and our offense.

Two things I care about: 1) Win the division 2) Have a better record than everyone else We now have the uncontested #3 seed and we're closing in on the #2 seed. We need to win and Steelers to lose. Cleveland losing simply eliminates another team from contesting that #2 spot.

Pause. The quarterback of the Buffalo Bills is currently 4th in MVP odds. He is 24 years old. Open your favorite bottle of Budweiser light and drink it.

Here are the reasons we don't run for more yards: 1) We don't run the ball frequently. When we commit to the run, we rush for more yards (Patriots and Chargers games, 190 yards and 173 yards each). 2) Our O-Line doesn't open up good running lanes frequently. 3) Moss and Singletary are good but not great. Only a GREAT running back would make a difference. If running backs are getting hit behind the line and still making guys miss, LeGarrette Blount doesn't help you at all. Also ... he's 34 years old and hasn't played football in two years. In his most recent season (2018) he averaged 2.7 yards per carry. Simply put, this is a bad take.

Enjoy it! Worth the wait.

I love the effort you put into this thread, thank you for that. On the other hand, taking still frames of "open" receivers on any given play will always make a QB look bad. It doesn't matter if he's Drew Brees or Tom Brady, every QB misses open WRs on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th option on almost every play. We don't know which order Josh was told to look to on each play, so you might be pointing out open guys who are the 4th or 5th option, with a ton of pressure on him. I admire the effort, but the only way to actually analyze QB's ability to read coverage is to capture live film and watch the QB's head to see if he's reading his progressions but missing open guys. Still frames will never tell that story.

Great post and I'm sure there will be "extremists" flaming you to death, but you're right. This is why it was a good idea not to make a trade at the deadline, despite those same people screaming for it. This year the goal is the Super Bowl, but the realistic expectation is Playoffs with a hopeful first round win. Next year, the goal and expectation is Super Bowl. We need all the ammo we can get for that. And for the "You Are What Your Record Is" folks, do you think the Steelers are one of the top 6 teams of all time? The objective way to look at a team is DVOA and we are slightly above average there as well.

The media has been super annoying, but Tua is a first round rookie from a big college program and had a ton of hype coming in. He hasn’t been good, but he hasn’t been terrible, so the NFL will try to work their storyline within a big market (Miami). Allen was a “high bust potential” prospect from a small market college team going into a small market NFL team, so they didn’t care. None of this is surprising, so don’t let it get to you. I’m happy to see him fail and that’s all I care about.

I pay for Sunday Ticket in NYC ... and I will be streaming Red Zone. These games are dookie.

I'm with you. The one thing that matters most in a punter is consistency. You don't need him booming 70 yarders... you need accuracy and consistency. When's the last time you've seen Bojo kick one that angles out of bounds at the 1 or 2 yard line? When's the last time you've seen Bojo kick one that lands at the 5 yard line and takes a huge bounce up in the air to allow for a great ST play? He has a big leg, so everyone thinks he's good, but he's bad at the two things that matter most -- accuracy and consistency. There's a reason we looked at so many punters in the offseason. We need a new one.

Do we really want to play this game? Until about 5 years ago, I think the majority of fans would list the Bills. We never made the playoffs, had no exciting players, and are a small market team. How quickly you all forget.

Man.... I was so ready to be angry, based on that title.

Somewhat unrelated, but I don't want to start a new thread just for this ... I think the reason we lost vs AZ was the Guard play from both spots. Costly penalties, no push in the ground game, Josh couldn't step up on throws. If you look closely on the INTs, Josh couldn't get solid footing. The AZ interior ate us up all day. Here's hoping we can get Morse back after the Bye and slide Mongo back to Guard. He's been a good G, but I'm excited to see him, Morse, and Dawkins eat.

He's a rookie. You don't want a free first round pick rookie because he had a bad start to his first season? Yikes. If you said something about his personality issues (and there are several) then I would have said sure... makes sense... but saying he is "terrible" is just ridiculous.

He was a first round pick ... drafted in the 2019 draft. Thank god you guys aren't GM.

I'd like to add in another tidbit of positivity I was thinking about this morning: The playoff seeding this year outside of #1 doesn't matter nearly as much as previous years. Only the #1 seed gets a bye in each division. If Buffalo wins the division and gets a "home" game, fans will likely not be in the stands. So ... division winner vs Wild Card means a whole lot less. We just need to make the playoffs... and with 7 teams making it this year, we're still in a great spot.

WHAT?? WHY CANT WE GET (insert corpse of relevant 1980s band) TO PLAY!

Am I the only person that doesn't want to talk about his contract yet? We have several threads on this. According to the CBA he can't get a new contract until next year... then he gets paid $7M ... then he has his 5th year option ... then we can talk contract. Just enjoy it for now. Enough about the contract.

This. Plus, next year he's due $7 Million. Then we can exercise his 5th year option the following year. A lot can change within the next two and a half seasons. If he's a bonafide elite quarterback, we will know it by then and we will pay him. Right now, if we pay him, we'll probably still have to pay him elite QB money. So for absolutely no reason, you want us to lock in Josh Allen right now? No.
