I was promised a poll.

Dak is an above average QB. But he is treated by many like he is way better than he actually is. He reminds me of Carr for the Raiders (who is also overrated). Both of them are high energy, try-hard QB's. They have good games. They have bad games. They just don't have quite enough to be the QB that their team needs them to be when the going gets tough. They cannot put the team on their backs. Heck, I'd put Kirk Cousins slightly above both of them, but he is kind of in the same category.

Belichick just tries to make the media feel so uncomfortable and stupid that they will stop trying to ask any questions. His slow, monotone mumbles are hard to sit through.

I think it is a case of dumb questions, honestly. What is he supposed to say?

I wonder where "General" started. I don't hear people using it anyway, honestly.

Josh Allen is the only one with a positive rating in every single coverage. Mahomes is negative against Cover 2.

No, he has always been among the league leaders. It used to be a lot of fumbles while running the ball. That hasn't happened as much this year. Overall, I think it is because he is a QB who holds onto the ball longer. He is not a quick passer. That means more time for the defense to get to him, but it also means bigger plays.

Oh yeah. I've heard "Sugar High Josh" a lot.

The original nickname!!!

Too slow. Too ugly.

And sports players. Sorry, it has been that way forever whether you like it or not.

I'm less interested in voting and more interested in what has organically been happening. For instance, I see people use "JA17" all the time. I think that came into existence organically, similar to TB12 for Tom Brady. I usually just say "Josh Allen" myself, but I also find myself saying "Joshy Boy" for some reason, sometimes.

Winter Soldier is pretty awesome. I forgot about the Mandalorian. Freak from Firebaugh is interesting.

I'm not proposing us manufacturing any. I was more curious where "General" came from and what others people are hearing.

Pro Football Reference is a great website for looking up stats on players and teams. They also keep track of nicknames for the players, which they list in parentheses right after their real name (I have no idea what sources they use). For instance, Patrick Mahomes has the following nicknames associated with him: Grim Reaper, Showtime, Magic Man, The Musician, Fatrick, The Gunslinger, or Mahomeboy. For Ryan Fitzpatrick they list "Amish Rifle" and "Fitzmagic". Here is Tom Brady's nicknames: TB12, Tom Terrific, Touchdown Tom, GOAT, The Pharaoh, Comeback Kid, or Sir. For Josh Allen they only list one, and it's not one I even see being used anywhere: "General" I see people use others like The Unicorn, JA17, and even The Winter Soldier has been thrown around a few times. Where did they get "General" from? Does that stem from college or something? I found this reddit poll, which was interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/buffalobills/comments/scf6j0/josh_allens_nickname/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Yes. He is "Right Josh". That is his official name.

I'm sure he said more. But yeah, not surprising people don't like him if he spoke bad about the city when he left. I don't care myself. I've only been to Buffalo one time.

Didn't he trash the city when he left?

More respectable than robbing people, I suppose...

Forcing a fumble is not luck. But once the ball is out, it can bounce anywhere and anyone can recover it. That's the luck piece. Bills have had horrible, rotten luck in the fumble recovery space all year. Almost all our forced fumbles have bounced right back to the opposing team, and almost all of our fumbles bounce to an opposing defender. That's bad luck. Spencer Brown recovering that one fumble was huge.

Did he leave the field on certain run plays?

The Patriot way.

All the speculation is silly. Just wait and see what happens. We'll know when we know.

Just in time!

Um... no thanks. He has turned into a real head case. He will sign for someone, I'm sure, but I would not be a huge fan of the move if the Bills were that someone.
