I think there have been plenty of QB's with physical gifts as good or even better than Allen apart from maybe arm strength (but maybe Jamarcus Russell even had a stronger arm). What sets Allen apart is the combination of three things: 1) His physical skill set, as mentioned, 2) His mental acuity (he had a very high wonderlic score and can process things quickly, plus he is just generally a sharp dude), and 3) His work ethic, maybe combined with his humble nature that allows him to get the most out of his work ethic because he is his number 1 critic. Combine that with his competitive fire, penchant for leadership and support of his teammates, and drive to be the best and you have a Super QB.

And I think he's right. If Daboll and McDermott had a couple of seasons with him I'd bet he would show vast improvement. He has had little to no help. He has had tons of turnover in the roster and with coaches and schemes. I think Darnold could be a top 15 QB if not higher if he was built up instead of destroyed.

Tua for the first half of every game. Fitz for the second half of every game.

Dang. That is so awesome. That's why superstars are so important. You need elite players on both sides of the ball, and it isn't just for the game breaking plays they make. It's for the rest of the squad to be able to look at them and realize just how good you can become. It inspires you to be better yourself. To see that they have all of the tools AND the work ethic. It's inspiring. The 90's Bills had Thurman and Bruce, among others. The Bills now have Allen, Diggs, and White. It's why I think the Colts are not going to beat us. Because they don't have the elite players to overcome like we do.

Yeah, they seem down to earth to me. Most of them are predicting the Bills to win.

Backup players don't get to play much. I'm willing to get them some good experience against starters and risk fans crying about running up the score. It's the NFL. Deal with it. The Bills did the right thing and they now understand their backup players better in case they are needed during their playoff run.

They were coming off a big win streak and looked very good. And then they were completely neutralized. I think everyone was pretty surprised to see them struggle so badly that year. And I don't think anyone would have been surprised to see Baltimore win that game.

I guess I'd have to see how the playoffs happen before really being able to answer this. If the Bills get spanked by the Colts, that's pretty disappointing. If Josh Allen and Diggs get COVID and can't suit up, it's a little of a different story though. Just have to take things one game at a time. All things bring equal, I would like to see the Bills make it to the conference championship game. I guess. The Ravens choked in the playoffs two years in a row but I think most people think they are still a very good team and a threat in the playoffs. That being said, the Bills need to go prove their worth in the playoffs.

For one thing, there are three wild card slots right now. For another, they have a good QB already.

This very well could have been the greatest regular season in Bills history. Let's hope we are about to have the greatest postseason in Bills history.

There were plenty of fans that agreed with letting them walk. And I can't think of anyone who called him stupid for letting them walk. Yeah, some wanted Beane to keep them, but especially after seeing the contracts that they got, most fans agreed that they were not worth keeping if that was the price tag.

He would be great for Darnold, but he has to see that it's going to be a tough division to find success going forward. So I would bet that the Jets are not his first choice.

You aren't serious, right?

Allen will pass for 50 TD's next year and get the MVP. Just be patient.

Just depends on how they feel about him. They've already benched him multiple times for Fitzpatrick, and you know he would have been benched against the Bills if Fitzpatrick was available. I personally thought there was no way the Cardinals would move on from Rosen that fast, but as the draft got closer it started looking more and more likely. I don't think it will happen. But it isn't out of the question, I think.

Hire Bill O'Brien. He beat the Bills in the playoffs once, I heard!

Happened with Rosen, is all I'm saying. Tua has been a liability for them. But it is likely not to happen. Would be crazy if it did, though...

Dude, it just isn't going to happen. Our offense is an elite passing offense and that's what they are going to do. And that's what they SHOULD do. It's what they are best at. All our best weapons on offense pass or catch passes.

I wonder how married the Dolphins are to Tua... They have a top 3 pick...

And they are backups. If you can't beat backups you deserve to get deep balls thrown on you and the score run up on you. Those guys don't get to play a lot and you know they want to put good tape out there of what they can do. I wouldn't change it for anything.

And the running game.

Probably the best passing offense the team has ever had. But maybe not the best overall offense. Still, it's super awesome to be able to even say something like that and have it taken seriously.

The Colts are an all around solid team. Good defense all around. Top 10 in passing and points per game. Frank Reich has built a fairly balanced team. But they lack star power and while they do everything well, they don't do anything great. They don't really have and game wreckers on either side of the ball. So I think Bills fans should be confident. And I know the coaches will have the team ready to rock and roll. I just hope the players (especially Allen) don't get too hyped up. I know Allen, at least, plays best when he is calm, cool, and collected. He should have Sinatra on repeat all week.

Who is beach boy?

With backups for the 2nd half. Just crazy.
