Then the MVP chants will start again when Josh puts on a clinic against the Raiders. I prefer to stay grounded.

It’s their first game as a unit against the damn Jets. Give them a bit to gel.

That’s not true at all. Some Allen’s best throws have been on broken plays to Davis.

What about Burrow?

Twitter is the worst, but a part of myself questions if Allen will be one of those QBs who remains productive into their mid-30s and beyond. For this to happen, he really needs to become a student of the game and play more calculated situational football. I think he tries too hard to get by on physical ability alone. Against 90% of teams it may works, but not against the truly elite defenses like the Jets. This is where he should settle more into a point guard role, get the ball out quick and distribute it to his playmakers.

Put all of your feelings aside. Pretend you’re a GM and you have to build a football team from scratch. Who do you choose to become the leader and face of your franchise? Do you go for the unpredictable generational phenom or the pocket passer w/ longevity? Trevor Lawrence is really catching on and by the end of this season I think he will be firmly in the top 5 supplanting the overrated Justin Herbert. He’s not as fast or strong as Josh, but I feel his athleticism is an underrated aspect of his game. He is more than capable of picking up a tough 1st down w/ his legs. Although he threw 4 picks in the Wild Card, he’s usually been great at protecting the ball and letting his playmakers shine. A lot of people compared him to Andrew Luck coming out of the draft and that’s exactly who I think he’ll turn out to be. Andrew Luck w/ a much longer career plus a ring. Allen’s stock took a 2nd hit last Sunday dropping his last 2 games and many in the media and this board are wondering if the league has finally figured him out. There’s a lot of speculation that his style of play is just not sustainable, too reckless, and he will hit a wall like Cam Newton did. He continues to throw costly interceptions and take unnecessary hits. Regardless, he is 52-25 in the regular season and has proven he can win games solely on his own. John Brown, Cole Beasley, and Diggs have all posted career years w/ Allen under center so he does make the players around him better. If I am building a team I still would pick Allen because when he is fully locked in, he is the best QB in the league bar none. Josh plays off emotion and instincts. He needs to a better job of harnessing his strengths and taking chances only when needed. Talent is is no longer an issue. Diggs, Kincaid, Knox, and Davis are all very solid pieces.

Sorry. I didn’t know you felt so strongly about this.

I’m just going to pretend OP is talking about 2024.

I said less of an issue. Losing those openers are always way more dramatic than a mid-season loss.

I was half joking, but it’s an interesting idea.

We should just scrap Dorsey and hire Jordan Palmer as the OC.

I thought they held up pretty good in their first game as a unit against a top 3 front. That Jets D-line is no joke and they are going to wreak havoc on more than just Buffalo. People need to move on and realize there are 16 games to go and that 1 loss does not define a season. If this happened in week 7 it would be much less of an issue on this board. Offenses will continue to catch up to defenses as the season progresses. Burrow threw for 81 yards last week and the Chiefs took an L versus the Lions.

It’s actually pretty disgusting that we don’t or that public transportation isn’t better as a whole. We certainly have the money. I would feel a lot better if my tax money was spent on resources people actually need.

Buffalo certainly accelerated the process.

The Jets already won their SB. If you think they will be able to sustain this success for a whole season w/ Zach seems highly unlikely. I am 1000% more worried about Miami so hopefully the Jets can steal a win or 2 from them as well. He had a good game and I def give Wilson credit for stepping up. He might have a future as a backup in the NFL.

I actually believe in the O-line we already have. Bills fans need to be patient and let them continue to gel. A whole new offensive tackle would be stupid at this point in the season.

It’s obviously the Madden curse.

First games are always weird. We should be more worried if they start doing this mid-season.

They have some nice skill pieces, but I’m not worried about Jimmy G or that defense. I have a feeling the Bills are going to take their pain from week 1 and transfer it to the Raiders. If Allen follows up with a bad game then fans should definitely worry, but I have a really hard time believe he forgot how to play the QB position. Bills rout the Raiders 33-14 and Allen will have 300+ yards of total offense.

U forgot Ralph is cheap.

Especially against Zack Wilson where you don’t need to score much to win.

He looked utterly overwhelmed the entire game.

That’s upper level bridge QB money now. Close to what Tannehill got from the Titans a few years ago. (4 years 120 mill.)

Lol 81 yards 0 TDs = Joe Burrow At least Allen showed some balls and went out throwing. Okay man we get it !

He should give half of it back to Allen. Those picks were gift wrapped nicely with a bow.
