Success

If the Bills weren't completely written off all summer - they are now. I kind of like it.

This is such a ridiculous take. They might? We'll see how it goes. Is Allen planning on 4 turnovers a game now or something?

My optimistic take: We've tried the whole "tear through the league in Sept. & Oct., then fizzle out" thing. Maybe we learned some lessons tonight. If Allen didn't have that kind of game, we win easy - the D looked good, Kincaid looked good, there were a lot of positives outside of JA. We can hopefully string together a couple of wins against sub-par teams now, and see where we really stand when Miami comes to town.

I was floored when I started reading the comments.

This is a great game so far. I guess it's a little "ugly" - but we've moved the ball well, and the D has been stellar for the most part. Can't ask for much more.

That guy who flipped off the camera? Been there.

He has the talent. He was good when he played last year. This feels like a personality/process/scheme thing (not all the same things - but close enough). And if that's the case, it reflects more on the staff than on him. There are situations in the league where he would likely thrive with his skillset.

I'm trying to separate myself from expectations. It's not easy. I lived through the Kelly years, and now we have Josh Allen. Odds are that we're unlikely to get another incredible QB again in my lifetime -so, I really just want to enjoy every game that Allen plays, and the time that we have him. My energy is definitely different this year because of that. I'm just low-key about the whole thing. I'm less invested in the outcome of winning it all, and more living in the moment & just trying to enjoy each week.

Of course. Narratives change every week in the NFL. The media is lost right now - the 2 darlings of the AFC lost in the 1st week, and the 2 "marquee" QB's looked kind of bad. If Allen comes out & looks great, and the Bills win going away? Buckle up. The Bills will be back on top of everyone's radar.

I like that there is going to be some weather. We can't just be that team that plays great when the sun is out & the temp is comfortable.

I remember life before I got married....

Surprised to see that from a Daboll team. After that 1st miscue, they played like they didn't care. They put up no fight whatsoever.

If I had my druthers - I'd want the Cowboys there waiting for us if we make the SB. The 90's hurt. If we're gonna win it all, why not want it to be against the nemesis of my childhood.

That was mind-boggling to me. Just a bad, bad coaching decision. Make Mac Jones go 90 yards to beat you. Don't present a gift to him.

Without doubt - one of my new fave things is Pats fans declaring moral victories.

That Charger play is inexcusable. There is NOTHING to gain there.

I'm annoyed about the Pats coming back.

What a start to the season for ol' Mac.

The media has real double-standards when it comes to Mahomes, Burrow & Allen. Allen simply doesn't have as much leeway as the other 2 when it comes to having a bad game.

It's kind of great that the Chiefs & Bengals got all of the hype this offseason.

Man - no one looks that good so far. Just week 1, but some of these games just look bad.

Pats, Dolphins & Bengals games are the most interesting to me.

Still working on it. But it's absolutely crucial. Wings are likely involved.

The Bills will win if there is any kind of logic or sense to the universe. The Jets will win if....well, they won't.

I am in full agreement. I think the Cincy game left a bad taste in the mouth of this team that has been festering for months now, and we're going to see the results of that on Monday. I kind of love that most are writing this team off, and saying things like "they're going to take a step back," and "their window has closed." As I've said often, this is the best, deepest & most balanced team we've had in the JA era. A few weeks into this season, we're going to see a lot of "how did we forget about Buffalo?" sentiments from the hot-takey media.
