    It's not a joke.

     

    Josh Allen is currently the 32nd ranked QB in the NFL in QB Rating.

     

    But his team is 3-1 and he's played a part in getting those wins.  Just imagine what happens as he improves!

     

    When Daboll came over to him on the sideline after one of the picks, Josh looked too angry to even listen to him.  I do believe that he can win plenty of games with this defense, he just needs to grow up a bit more.

  2. I do think he'll get better but he has to listen to the coaches and stop trying to win games like he's back at Wyoming.  We saw that drive in the 3rd quarter where he got the ball out quickly, took what was there... they looked like a machine. 

     

    He can do it, but I'm sure that competitive urge to be a hero has been too strong for him to overcome when under fire.  The run for the sticks in the fourth quarter that got him knocked out was gutsy but too risky in the situation... and the bastards got him.

     

    We knew he was going to be a work in progress.  He needs to stop trying to be Mahomes and just take what's there.  Those heroic moments will find him and be better to him when he does.

    As bad as the loss felt, thinking about how uncomfortable we made it for OLD Tommy boy,

     

    Still puts a smile on my face...

     

    I've never been described as an optimist... but this is as good as I've felt about losing a game in a long time, especially to New England. 

     

    The Pats can strut if they want but they know they dodged a bullet today.  Mc-Frazier's defense is consistently giving their offense trouble.  If we can get our offense to execute the game plan without so many mistakes... the future looks bright to me and we have a real reason to be think this is going to be a great season.

    Our offense was an abomination last year.  It has improved to average this year.  NE's defense is going to make average offenses look terrible.

     

    People are wildly overreacting to one game against the best defense in the league.

     

    You're right... but I'm no longer willing to concede that anyone else in the NFL has a better defense than our Bills.

    Next game is in Foxboro...usually a different story in that house of horrors....

     

    I know, I know... the history is not good.  I've just got a hunch that we're due.  The gap hasn't been this close in a while and that's with their Hall of Fame, "greatest ever" QB.

    4th - time to find a new punter. 

     

    After having our best player be the punter for so long, it hurts to see it as one of our glaring weaknesses.

     

    In previous years, that 21 yard punt late in the game would have turned in to seven for the bad guys.  As it was, I thought it was three for sure but another 3 and out spared us.  The defense was insane and should give us all a reason to Billieve.  They just shut Brady DOWN.

  7. For the first time in a while, I do think we've got enough talent to hang with them and beat them on any given day.  The defense has gotten better and better against them and the offense just needs to execute.

     

    I don't think the Patriots or their obnoxious fans are going to want to see Buffalo on their schedule anymore.

    Sorry, but this is one of those games that haunt me. I've spent 20 years watching us lose to NE and I'm f'king sick of it. It's the one team that makes my skin crawl. I just want to take them down and win the AFC East for once in two decades.

     

    It's because you feel like you've seen this movie before.  The Bills lose the first game respectably, even admirably... only to get killed in the rematch during a ho-hum season.

     

    BUT... I really do think it's different this time.  This is the first season in a good while that I really do like our chances in the rematch, even if it is in New England.

     

    Josh was getting dialed in before the injury.  Something tells me he would have had a comeback 4th quarter win if he had been in there, as bad as he was in the first half.
