Why would you hate Kirk Cousins so much?

Huh? Allen is widely praised by the media. The few who say anything negative are just doing it for the clicks.

The Chiefs seem to muddle through the season and turn it on in the playoffs. Of course, they don't have Tyreek Hill anymore, so we'll see. But it would be foolish to think they are not one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL, if not THE most dangerous. But the Chiefs and Bengals feel the same way about the Bills too. All three teams know that the other two are going to be a huge challenge in the playoffs.

Geno has had a terrible career up to this point. I think it's a wash. Bad QB class all around. I just don't think it matters. It happened to long ago. Why do we need to dispute these things? Nobody cares.

Looks like Pro Football Reference updated Josh Allen's nicknames. They now list "General, JA17 or The Winter Soldier". So funny, because we were just talking about this. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02.htm

Love this combo. Would even be better with the throwback standing Buffalo helmets.

Sure, but it's not like they have the best run defense of all time. They are ranked in the top 10, but of course the Bills will be able to run it some of the time. Their defensive ends are banged up too. Try to get Cook going on the outside runs. Oh, it's the end of the world! The fastest player in the league scored a TD on Tre White! Hill does that to everyone.

And why would the Bills not be able to run the ball against the Bengals?

QB's took deep drop backs back then and threw the ball down the field. These days they are usually in shotgun and play the quick pass game more often. Quick passes have replaced some of the running game that was more prominent back then. More quick passes increases completion percentage. Plus, yeah, defenders were allowed to defend more back then.

1) Our receivers are mostly possession and route running receivers, not speed guys who can turn up field. 2) Defenses always have their eyes in the backfield against us because of the threat of Josh running. This hurts the screen and short passing game. 3) Josh Allen extends plays and waits for routes to develop. YAC usually comes from quick hitters. 4) Josh Allen takes fewer check downs than most QB's. Check downs usually get more YAC. 5) The receivers have more freedom to run routes in this offense. This means many times Josh has to wait and find them open, instead of throwing the ball to a precise spot every time. The freedom to run routes helps some things, hurts some others, such as YAC.

Singletary knows he doesn't have elite speed. He cut in because he thought he could maximize yardage that way. It was a split second decision, and maybe the wrong one. But he usually does a good job of maximizing his yardage and usually makes good decisions.

They certainly don't deserve to be first.

His boy Mahomes has a ton of turnovers too.

This is not uncommon for many of the big name players. When TO came to Buffalo I remember reading about the huge staff he had. But you have to back it up with results on the field. Otherwise your teammates will resent you. Just how it is.

I think they do know what play it happened on. He got spun around and his head bounced off the turf, just like his previous concussion. But he finished the game.

The Bills need to invest in the oline heavily, both veterans and draft picks. They need to bring in a better #2 receiver and preferably a better slot receiver as well, unless Shakir can develop into that role. On defense, just be sure to re-sign the defensive line. And re-sign Edmunds if you can afford him. Otherwise, MLB is a big hole that needs to be a major priority. But overall, the team is in a good spot. Beane has built in a lot of wiggle room in the cap and they have plenty they can free up. They have good starters in many positions, and lots of good depth. They have superstars in Allen, Diggs, and White, as well as budding stars in Rousseau and Oliver. This is the team we have been waiting for.

Nobody will have anything negative to say about Josh if it gets around what he insinuated about the AFC East QB's. He was just pointing out the truth. The rest of the league knows it too. Zach Wilson has been a disaster. Mac Jones is a dirty cry baby who is quickly gaining a bad reputation in the league, not to mention he is a poor QB. Tua is decent, but has scrambled brains and is capped by hus lack of physical traits. Seems like a perfect incentive for an edge rusher to come to Buffalo.

I'll root for a tie.

I think it is less so that Tua has been figured out and more so that he is playing better teams now. He has played better this season, but the stretches of games where he played the best were all against bad teams. Now that he is playing better teams, he looks a lot worse. He is just another decent QB who needs to significantly develop to be considered a franchise QB, which is an uphill battle for him because he doesn't have elite physical traits to fall back on.

While I think Wilson holds plenty of blame himself, there is truth to this. Their offensive scheme seems to avoid his strengths and accentuate his weaknesses. He needs a different offensive scheme. For instance, I don't think Josh Allen would do well with a scheme like that either. Josh is not a quick pass, timing offense QB. He is a guy you need to give a lot of freedom to make things happen. Wilson is kind of like that too, although Josh Allen is infinitely better.

So true. It's honestly just exhausting the level of disrespect this Bills team gets from some Bills fans. We are having one of the best seasons in franchise history and the moaning and complaining never stops.

People turn on McDermott when he wins 4 in a row. I'd hate to see what they would do if he LOST 4 in a row. Probably burn down Buffalo. Try watching it with your eyes open. Doesn't mean he had a concussion, like you said, but his head CLEARLY bounces off the turf there.

Wow. That looks like a picture from 1975. Crazy. Vintage football right there.

You are allowed to like him. Lots of people do. I absolutely loathe him, for lots of reasons which I will list for you: 1) He is terribly condescending when talking about many players, teams, etc. This is BY FAR the worst thing about him. Many of his "compliments" are backhanded. 2) He has brutal, horrible takes regularly. I think he used to do a lot of homework on players and teams, but just plain doesn't anymore, so his opinions are dated and often just wrong. 3) He has one of the most annoying voices I have ever heard. He has some of the most annoying phraseology I have ever heard "Now HERE'S a guy...", etc. 4) He clearly thinks very highly of himself, but feigns humility for some reason. He thinks he is God's gift to television. 5) He is very biased, and let's that cloud his judgement when reviewing plays, considering penalties, etc. This is fine for fans, but he is not supposed to be a fan. He is part of a national broadcast and should be more objective.
