No, I meant that we all consider Allen such an amazing player, that most Bills fans already rank him above Kelly as the best Bills QB ever. Not only that, I've seen fans slowly push Kelly further & further down the list of best Bills players of all time (myself included). The way people talk about him is if he was just a solid QB that got the ball to the better players around him, but watching him again reminded me that simply isn't true. He had a ton of talent, only in different ways to modern QBs. I remember many commentators & sports talk shows calling Kelly a LB that played QB due to how tough he was, but you hear the same thing today regarding Allen. Difference is when they say it about Allen, they mean he's built like a truck & runs like one too. Sorry if my wording was confusing.

Wait, the CFL merged with another US league? Or they just opened some expansion US teams? Either way, I had no idea! That's pretty cool, thanks for the heads up

Was going through old game footage & figured I'd post this one. Allen is such a great & unique talent that it's almost easy to let hyperbole take over & downplay how great Kelly was. His rhythm, the timing, the way he throws, and just how quick he was is a thing of beauty to watch. He escapes pressure not with his feet, but by being so quick to get the ball out of his hands (much like Brady). He knows when & where guys are going to be, then just as he hits the final step of his drop, the ball is released. If not, he takes a few steps in one direction & then lets it rip. Can't forget Reed either. He was all over the field making plays. A true WR1 that could out-physical anyone. Him & Kelly out-dueled Favre & Sharpe, and I'm glad I stumbled across this game. Also, I don't see how anyone can think these unis weren't beautiful! Hard to not feel nostalgic seeing that field, the red endzones, the red helmets + blue jerseys, man... it's criminal we don't use these as throwbacks. Anyway, hope someone out there enjoys as much as I did!

They should merge with the CFL & attract a whole new audience. Bet that would increase curiosity as well. Obviously, the CFL has a much longer history, so they'd have to adapt similar rules, but it would be a neat way to tie the 2 countries together (especially at a time where our closest ally has somehow been labeled an adversary).

Man, wish NFL could go back & revitalize a lot of these older games. I know it's not as simple as old school movies on film, but with the advancement of AI tech, maybe one day we can get AI upscaling & remastering to HD & clean things up.

My man! Glad to see more Ruben Brown respect!

So what's the difference between AFL MVP & AFL Player of the Year? I see that Cookie Gilchrist was the AFL MVP while Jack Kemp was the AFL Player of the Year & was kinda confused. Also didn't know they had AFL All-Pros & All Stars (I guess like Pro Bowlers). That's cool. My personal top 15: 1. Bruce Smith 2. OJ Simpson 3. Thurman Thomas 4. Josh Allen 5. Jim Kelly 6. Andre Reed 7. Joe DeLamielleure 8. Billy Shaw 9. Steve Tasker 10. Fred Smerlas 11. Cornelius Bennett 12. Kyle Williams 13. Darryl Talley 14. Eric Moulds 15. Ruben Brown (yeah, I said it!) I'm only confident in my top 6 though, the rest I bounce around (especially those I've only seen in replays & sports docs).

Yeah.... I can definitely be bought, but not for $500 😆 I need that extra money though, so offer me $5,000, then MAYBE I'd take that. Sorry, economy is rough right now!

Exactly. Pretty sure last year he told me Curtis Samuel would have a better season than Stefon Diggs... I said no way that's happening unless Diggs gets injured, but even with an injury, he STILL had a better season 😂 Maybe it was someone else, but I'm almost certain it was him arguing with me.

Anyone remember Sam Cowart? He was really good until injuries derailed him. Aside from him, Ruben Brown. He gets a bad wrap today, but he was a stud for a long time.

I was just watching a recap on YouTube & saw a comment that made me laugh -

I would've preferred the classic "Vague Title" myself 😉

THANK YOU. I don't care what position you play, if you are a bigger part of your team's success & have more impact on the field, you should be paid accordingly. As much as people like Groot, I cannot in good conscience say he did more than James Cook... yet we were paying him $13 million last year, right around what Cook wants now, then extended him to $20 million a year. And which side of the ball has everyone complained about not showing up in the playoffs last year? Oh right, the side we rewarded with extensions & bigger contracts. But the side that put up the most points in franchise history, fortified by a great run game for the first time in Allen's career, and the player who everyone said should've gotten the ball more in the KC playoff game... that's the guy who we shouldn't pay simply because he's a RB? Makes no sense.

OJ Howard 2.0. I kid, I kid... kinda.

Uh... no. That makes no sense. There isn't a single default design for a stadium. They can pick & chose what to prioritize. That's like saying all $500k houses in the same area are the exact same square footage, design, layout & size of land. Whether it's in WNY or Florida, you CHOOSE what you want to spend the money on. You also choose WHEN to spend the money, and they waited so long that they're paying more than Jerry World for significantly less.

I agree that $2.2 billion should've gotten us a lot more, but disagree with the rest. Even though it's not what I wanted, it still looks really nice, will have great sight lines, be more comfortable, and just be a fun overall experience. The old stadium has nothing on this.

Your responses were all wrong, so I fixed em.

I mean, I'm not seeing anything that's suggesting he's going to be a great starting safety, but I'm not giving up on him either. McDermott has no problem starting whoever he thinks is best suited for the job, so if Cole looks like the best option, I'm sure he'll become the starter. That said, he didn't show anything last year that makes me think that'll be the case, but my confidence isn't important.

There's a 100% chance that if I was a single, rich, young, good looking pro athlete I would be on boats with as many pretty women as possible. The only reason I'm judging him now is A) he's not on my team & B) I don't get to do the same thing 😠

That's exactly what I said! 😂 I'm not freaking out or anything, as I never expected him to contribute much to begin with. If he plays 10 games, cool. If he plays 5, cool. Bosa staying healthy isn't something you can rely on, so not a big loss either way. However, it just goes to show that between the Bosa signing & all the other FAs we signed that are missing time due to suspensions, the Bills probably were either in a tight spot & without a lot of options, or they didn't do their homework. I'm guessing it's the former, though. If these draft picks don't pan out & improve the D, I'm 100% done with expecting anything out of McDermott & Beane. I already thought we should prioritize offense, but I'm hoping this year proves that McD can finally make use of the tools he's been given come playoff time.

Just like everyone else, CALLED IT! The fact anyone was putting ANY stock into him upgrading our DL was crazy to me. Dude is the Kevin Kolb of DEs. Now he's even getting injured away from football.

We used to make fun of teams on hard knocks, yet now you think this is a GOOD thing? Tell me, what does being on hard knocks help? Is there even a sliver of a 1% chance this benefits the team on the field? Now is there even the tiniest, sliver of a 1% chance this can be a distraction or have a negative impact? Be honest. If there's a 0% chance being on Hard Knocks HELPS the team, I don't like it. But sure, I'll "go outside" & suddenly that'll change my opinion. Makes total sense.

What's the justification? I legit do not see any evidence to suggest this play is any more dangerous than other regular plays. Not only that, nobody is FORCING the Bills to utilize the play. If they're so adamant against it, why did they use it so much? Is he just embarrassed that they failed miserably in the AFCCG? And if I'm wrong, please show me the evidence that suggests the tush push is a more dangerous play than normal. You say it's not hard to justify or understand, yet I don't see any justification other than "it looks dumb."

You don't? What else is the internet for?
