    You mean the anti-semitic trolls who spammed the board for the month leading up to the draft, only to have completely disappeared ever since? (Or gone back to their real usernames and are still among us)

    Them, but also the Trump supporters and those that become enraged at anyone in the public eye who dares to take a position against the party line, left or right.

    I think there are nine more games on the schedule that range from "should win" games for Buffalo to "realistically can win" games.  Idon't think Buffalo wins all of those, but there is certainly enough there to make the playoffs a realistic goal.

    And they certainly could win at least one of the "should lose" games.

    What would you expect in homeless California? No way any place in CA can support a stadium initiative. They can’t even take care of their own people.

    Out of 40 million people, something like a 100 thousand are chronically homeless, and many of them are mentally ill and/or addicted. What's the per capita in Indiana?

    What I find interesting is that those same pundits do not qualify their statements about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens who have played, statistically, the two worst defenses in the NFL. - or really making those same qualifying statements about many other QBs/teams.

     

    The Bills just need to continue winning and those things will probably change.

    FTR, I have heard commentators on multiple shows make exactly that point.

    9) Buffalo Bills' character

     

    It's well-documented that I'm in on this team. I pegged Buffalo as my Cinderella team in April and picked the Bills to make the playoffs in August. And their effort on Sunday undoubtedly bolstered my feelings.

    The toughness, togetherness and talent was on display, as the Bills erased a 16-0 third-quarter deficit to beat the rival Jets on the road. Don't be surprised. This is what the Bills are under Sean McDermott. This is what to expect from this defense late in games. This is what to expect from the Josh Allen-John Brown connection.

    I'm calling for a 4-0 Bills start, which will include a win over the Patriots

     

     

    I absolutely love Schein's prediction here.  If we do start off 4-0, to include a win over the Pats, there will be no stopping this team.  He mentions the togetherness of this team, and it just reminds of our team of the 90s.  That's why we were so successful back then.  The team of the 90s were extremely close and they all had each other's backs.  If this team can resemble that same togetherness, we will definitely have success for years to come.

    Schein is that rarity among national commentators, a pro who actually seems to deeply know every team, which is why I respect his analysis. As far as the Bills go, he's becoming this generation's Chris Berman. Kelly should start bringing him in for the golf tournament.

     

    Brian Baldinger is another who does his homework. Not surprisingly, he's been strong on the Bills future. Most of the ex-execs and ex-players who infest the sports shows seem to just follow the "everybody knows" narrative, mail it in and pick up a check.

    I've said this in another article but to me Allen has Brett Favre's gun slinger mentality (which I love) but with that mentality you are going to make mistakes, we should not make excuses for him since there is no need to, as long as he can come back from those mistakes and win games which he did. If we have the next Brett Favre with more athleticism, do we really give 2 ***** about whether or not he makes mistakes as long as were getting to the playoffs or Superbowls?

    Go back thru all the Super Bowls and I think you'll find that the by-the-book, system-type classic QB, with but a couple of outlier exceptions, wins. The more exciting pull-it-out-of-your butt "gunslinger" QBs get the fan mania but tend not to get the brass ring. Two of that type - Tarkenton and Kelly -- alone count for 8 losses and no SB wins. Compare Stabler & LaMonica with Bradshaw in the 70s, or think of Favre, the ultimate gunslinger who, for all the raves, managed one SB win in an era that overlapped with the dull Troy Aikman and the highly "system" QB John Elway. 

     

    What's winning me over with Josh Allen is his growing competence as a system QB who retains some fine gunslinger ability. That just might be the secret sauce for major success.
