Success

I feel the same way when a real journalist goes to ESPN.

I love the anti-Buffalo/is this a punishment chatter. Like bad teams stay bad. The mighty Pats were once the Patsies, and earned every bit of that derogatory reference. Our time is here. The winds of change are blowing strong - we have a great young QB and the league’s best receiver. Good times ahead...

This made me a bit giddy.

Exactly this. But he won us back over.

Rosen could still turn out to be an excellent QB. He looked great at times last year. But I will always be glad we went with Allen. Such a great attitude.

I really don’t like the New England Patriots.

We’ll have to disagree. I love what Foster brings and I’m glad he’s a Bill, but Jones is much more versatile. Jones has some real skills. I think he’s fairly underrated in this board - he was really developing chemistry with Allen, and I see that tandem being important to our success in the years ahead.

Zay Jones is our best receiver right now. I’m pretty sure he’ll be in the team. Ideally, he’ll be our slot guy.

To me, this was as lucky a run as the Pats had during their reign. They won against KC because of an Offside, and wouldn’t have been close if Hunt was playing. Then, the Rams get a gifted win in the NFCCG, taking out the one team that wouldn’t have been overwhelmed by the big lights of the SB. And their one chance to win that game is injured. This season was such a drag.

I try not to judge the fandom of others, or set rules for it. If you love the Bills, the next round’s on me.

Won’t be the place to get a ring anymore.

Oh, man. I just saw interviews with a group of Pats fans about this. Total cartoons. We’re WINNAHS, that’s why they’re comin’ after us! #7 next yeah! So glad I’m a Bills fan.

They can have 20 extra picks - the reason they win is BB and Brady. Their drafting is unspectacular overall. They get coachable players but few stars. So many pieces on that team are interchangeable. - BB the coach makes BB the GM look a lot better.

Pats fans on twitter already have an endless stream of “prostitution is no big deal” comments. Some have even promised that this will bring them a 7th ring, since the team will be so “mad.” I don’t celebrate the misfortunes of others, but something about this feels karmic. This is the kind of story that changes the direction of a franchise.

I feel like fans who keep repeating those stats didn’t watch the actual games. I wasn’t happy about the pick, but love what I saw out if him - especially in that final stretch of games. He clearly has that “it” factor, and skills-wise, his ceiling is off the charts. As things stand, I think he’ll be the 2nd best QB to come out of this great class. Could take the top spot, though.

Both the Bills and Jets will be much better this year. Those 4 games play a big part in this ranking.

EJ Manuel was not an accurate passer. I don’t see that in Allen. The stats are such a small part of the story with him. His throws don’t have that wild quality. Give him just a little more time and I doubt we’ll still be talking about accuracy as any kind of problem.

I am, but I can’t tell if the reason is just because I’ve been beaten down by the Patriots dominance. Kinda like a horse that’s been broken. They’re calm too.

I appreciate your comments, but I also take some issue to people telling Kap what he “should” be doing instead, as many have done since this started. Everyone expresses themselves in different ways, which is one of the great things about being an American. There are those who work quietly behind the scenes for a cause, and there are also some who just create confrontation and challenge others to think in a different way. Whether people agree or disagree with Kap, it’s undeniable that he brought attention to an issue and started a national dialogue. Personally, I give him credit. I think what he did took courage.

It could play out that way. But Allen’s play at the end of the season has given me more hope. And while Brady’s longevity has confounded me, he’s not a god. This year’s SB win felt like a swan song to me. I think the Jets and Bills will be fighting it out for the division in the years ahead.

I think we have a good shot at the division this season.

I don’t like the New England Patriots. Not one bit.

It’s not a fair fight at this point , and won’t be until BB retires. McVay is 33 and was in his first SB. BB has lived there. I’d have to google to get an accurate total if how many times he has been there.

I love the thought of Darnold and Allen regularly battling it out for 1st place in a few years, while the Pats look up from the cellar going through one QB after another in the impossible quest to replace Brady. In a way, I hate that we have been so incompetent for 2 decades and have been incapable of giving the mighty Pats any kind of challenge in that time. But in another way, it was perfect timing to be inept. They would have always won the division regardless. Allen’s ascendency could be timed almost perfectly to coincide with Brady’s decline and inevitable retirement.

It’s going to be extremely important to me that the Patriots start losing soon, and don’t stop losing for many, many years.
