  1. You can't read my post without first seeing and understanding the CIRCUMSTANCES in which the Bills off season started. When you have been a division winner and final 4 - 8 finisher for 4 straight years the off season isn't about getting better as much as it's about staying at the top.
  2. Under the circumstances the Bills have had a top 5 off season so far. They re-signed the two guys from the team they had to; they added a high quality offensive weapon, they solidified their coaching ranks; they got their CAP under control and basically Belichecked several players who were on the downward trajectory of their careers.
  3. I don't believe it either but my daughter in law who is a big Bengal's fan says it was blowing up her social media!
  4. Down here in Cincinnati this is big news today: http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Jefferson-to-Bengals-rumors?page=2 Supposedly it would involve Higgens and 2 1st round picks to land JJ from the Vikings!
  5. Or maybe the poster is simply a moron trying to convince the rest of us about how football illiterate they are.
  6. People forget that McD/Bean gutted the Bills offense for the 2018 season. That unit was bad. The fact that Allen showed glimpses of the great QB he would become with that group around him is amazing in hindsight. A lot of rookie QB's would have been knocked out of the league facing what Allen faced his rookie year as a starter.
  7. A lot of people would have said something like this about Mathew Stafford when he played at Detroit. Then he was traded to LA and won a Super Bowl. You might want to look at coaching & the Bills roster rather then Allen here.
  8. I believe that the Chiefs would have had a better regular season record with Allen at QB this season and still would have won the Super Bowl.
  9. You can absolutely say that Allen's has been at a disadvantage versus the Chiefs during the last "few years" if you define "few" as 3 years. * During the 2021 season the Chiefs had Kelsey AND Hill, and Andy Reid, enough said. * During the 2022 season the Chiefs had Andy Reid and one of the top 3 rated offensive lines in the NFL the Bills had one of the worst, enough said. * During the 2023 season for the first time in Allen's career he had similar talent as Mahomes on the O line & among his skill players. And the Bills beat the Chiefs during the regular season, finished ahead of them to gain home field advantage in the playoffs and then only lost the game when their FG kicker missed a 44 yard kick in the last 2 minutes. Oh and Mahomes still had Andy Reid as coach AND a championship caliber defense.
  10. There you go again. Where in that sentence does it remotely suggest Allen NEVER makes an inaccurate throw? Rib's point, which is difficult to rationally dispute is that pressure as Allen released the ball impacted the throw and caused him to miss Shakir. A reasonable & defensible criticism here is that Allen should have stepped up in the pocket a half second sooner and made the throw. But again you demand PERFECTION from Allen and no one else on the team - it's crazy to me.
  11. I don't buy this. In the 4th quarter Allen drove the Bills 54 yards in 14 plays using 6:23 BEFORE he threw those 2 incompletions. On that drive Diggs dropped what would have been at minimum a 60 yard completion. Allen converted one 3rd down and one 4th down on that drive. The FACT remains that while the ending wasn't perfect Allen put the Bills in position to tie the game with less then 2 minutes remaining. Missing a 44 yard FG in today's NFL is inexcusable. You are criticizing Allen for not being perfect on that last drive where "perfect" in your mind was to score a TD to go up by 4 with less then 30 seconds to play. That is an amazingly unrealistic expectation for someone who has been watching football for 50+ years. For nearly three quarters of the Super Bowl Mahomes could only lead his team to 2 FG's while throwing a bad INT. He was gifted a TD late in the 3rd quarter after a terrible special teams play by the 49's. The idea that if Mahomes were the Bills QB playing against the KC defense we would have achieved the PERFECT outcome (TD with very little time left) is purely hypothetical. Finally, the charges of "homerism" by you and others because some of us debate what we think are your awful takes on Allen is getting old. NO ONE is saying Allen is perfect and can't improve his game. What we are saying is that the extent to which Allen can further improve his game is minuscule compared to the other places that the Bills need to improve their play & coaching. The problems preventing the Bills from becoming a perennial AFC Championship/Super Bowl games participant and winner has almost nothing to do with Allen and almost everything to do with other aspects of the Bills.
  12. Maybe, maybe not. A lot of us thought Jacksonville was going to be that team this year and look what happened. The Texans now must clear the first hurdle a bad team must overcome when they become relevant again - repeat it. This is easier said then done as Jacksonville and the NY Giants to name just a couple of recent teams that were unable to do it.
  13. Where stats do matter is when you're trying to determine where you are falling short and how you get over the hump to "just win, baby". And Allen's stats are a reminder that he is the Bills best player. Stats also provide compelling evidence to disprove the morons constantly claiming that "Allen has to do more". And in the NFL a single player, even a HOF QB considered by almost everyone to be among the best to ever play the position, is not enough. Just ask Dan Marino.
  14. I think you're on to something here. If QB had been listed as a reason for why he Bills had not been more successful the poll would have lost all credibility. I mean no sane person could list QB as a reason the Bills were not better. Heck, put Mahomes on the Bills and I am very confident they still would not have won a Super Bowl. Allen played very well in those games and made some monster plays to help win them. Also the threat of what Allen can do is a very powerful weapon and Brady deserves credit for using it in ways Dorsey did not.
