  1. I was at the game live and it felt like a broken play. Or the play was covered so Josh scrambled right and threw it. Amazing play. I took my eyes away from the left side when I watched him scramble right so I haven’t been able to see who was downfield. They wouldn’t show hardly any replays on the Jumbotron in the stadium. It was definitely a “wow” play that I was excited to see live. Had that play stood then the second Josh INT would have never happened. I’m anxious to rewatch the game I recorded when I get home.
  2. The Saints ran cover 2 practically all night. I was there and it was fun to watch it live. Josh’s second INT wasn’t really on him throwing as much as holding the ball too long. I’m not sure how it looked on film but watching it live it felt like he didn’t have much time to throw the majority of the evening. I was shocked to see he completed 80% of his passes. Side note New Orleans fans are just really classy. Can’t say enough good things about them.
  3. I was at the game. The pressure Allen was under was crazy. Also wasn’t able to see the illegal man downfield on the TD that got called back but the play live was epic. Mafia was in full force tonight. Great experience!
  4. Has he played? Or is it still Mills?
  5. Do the Texans get Tyrod back this week? He may be able to give them a shot vs the Titans. Texans at least looked competitive when he was in there the beginning of the season.
  6. In the tight Patriots game he also dropped a TD pass. I’ll move on from the Davis drops when the rest of this board let’s up on the Knox drops. They happen I get it. But to say that Davis is the cure all after playing a terrible Jets secondary is an over reaction when just the previous week he dropped the one target he was given. I personally have nothing against Davis. I loved this game he put up and his potential. I think I’m more reacting to the overreaction of this board. We lay a stinker against the Jags and everyone says it’s coaching when there were clearly dropped opportunities (not just Davis but also Beasley in that game). Josh had the overthrow to Diggs. Few plays that in a 9-6 loss make the difference. Then this week we laid it up on the Jets which I admittedly was enjoying everything about this game. Everyone’s reaction it seems on this board is how the coaches finally pulled their heads out of their butts and did everything different when in reality I think it was merely better execution (with the major exception of superior offensive line play). Davis had 3 targets this week vs 1 target last week. Not really a significant improvement on targets he just did more with his targets this week. I’d hardly say 3 targets in a game is an emphasis to get him the ball. I’d guess 3-4 targets is probably about where it will stay for the season unless there’s an injury to one of the other top three. I’d also add Sanders had a couple receptions that didn’t count because of penalties that were terrific catches. So his stay sheet doesn’t look as good as it could have otherwise. Without proofreading my above rant let me conclude that my tone probably is jerky. I loved every minute of this game. I hope we dial it up similarly vs the Colts but I expect them to play more 2 high safety looks. I hope we have a better counter for that. I’m optimistic that we do.
  7. Except in the Jaguars game when he dropped a wide open pass that probably helps us win that game.....drops happen yes, but in critical moments in tight games they are compounded. I do think we could use him more but to say he only has produced we also have to remember where he let us down in a big moment.
  8. It may just be me but John Warrow is a terrible interviewer. He can’t ever manage to get out his question. The interviewees always have to ask him to rephrase it or to clarify. He just like rambles his narrative and then tries to turn it into a question at the end. Also during Covid quarantine when he was doing the zoom calls it looked like he was hunkered down in a bomb shelter for 2 plus years. I swear he wore a robe in a couple of them.
  9. The irony of Watson going to Houston would be massive. Miami dealt all their players for Houston’s picks. Then Watson got pissed from the new GM/coach hiring. Then if he ended up in Miami…. I mean one of those picks was used for Tua.
  10. Josh usually does good in these prime time games. He puts up massive numbers as the Bills push for him to get the MVP. Titans defense is not great and we finally get good weather. Bills break 50 points for the first time since Dolphins season finale 2020. Bills win 51-17 With 10 of the Titans points coming late in the 4th quarter as Bills are in straight prevent. Josh 28-33 for 465 yards and 5 TD’s Diggs gets 100 and 2 TD’s Beasley with 8 catches and 1 TD Defense has at least 1 interception. Hold the Titans to 7 punts and 2 turn overs on downs from going for it on 4th. The league realizes the Bills are the real deal and we walk into the bye with maybe too much confidence albeit warranted. I seriously think us fans are still gun shy in believing just how incredibly good this years team is. Give in people we are going to set records this season!
  11. Scoreboard watching these other games makes me think people are under appreciating our defense. Any given Sunday I guess. But really for how dominant our victories have been people aren’t giving that enough credit. Also we’ve had 3 sucky weather games so far this season and this will be another. I pray that this is an advantage for us and we are more prepared for that. So excited. Let’s hurry up and kick it off!
  12. Totally agree. I guess my main point is if you’re a douche then you’re a douche. Gruden is a douche. It’s well known. I think what he said was most likely a douchey comment/racist slander. In no way do I think he’s racist. I think he just said it cause he’s a douche. I just think this is going to be blown up like Gruden is a Klan member when in reality he’s just an A hole and that’s already been established through years of watching him. my 2 cents and I realize I may get flamed.
  13. Well everyone on here is writing like they’ve never in their life said something offensive to another person ever. While I don’t condone racism, sexism, or any type of hate, I certainly am not naive enough to believe this type of conversation or negative comments aren’t made on a regular basis. It wasn’t so long ago where people would make racist jokes amongst each other in the locker room and would laugh at them. That doesn’t mean that it should have ever been that way but people are going to say crap like this. Another issue is should emails be that readily admissible? Isn’t that similar to wire tapping? If Gruden knew his emails would be read down the line I’m guessing he would have proof read it before hitting send. Ultimately it was a poor choice of words. My opinion is his excuse of rubber lips is BS. For me though I just get sick of everyone being so quick to judgement. Unfortunately it sounds really bad. For selfish reasons though I don’t want Gruden suspended because I think he makes the Raiders worse. 😂
  14. I am usually one to brace myself for a bad outcome but I see no way the Bills don't win this one. Prior to the season I felt like not enough was done by the Bills to swing the pendulum. However I think this comes down more to the Chiefs not doing enough to maintain. That defense is terrible. If we are putting up 30+ vs Miami and Houston it is fair to assume we can replicate that vs the Chiefs. Is our defense at top defense once we start playing Super Bowl contenders? We will see. I think in reality we are more like a top 5 defense once we start playing some better team. That is still within striking distance. Also last season Josh had a great year. but every few games he just went off and put up amazing games. He is long overdue. I don't even feel like Washington was a good game by his standards. It is happening this week. Rain or shine. We can run the ball better. 37-32 Bills win. I honestly don't think the game is as close as the final score dictates either. Something like the Chiefs score late and try an onside kick. I just feel like this game is us in the drivers seat and most Bills fans are too scarred from so many years of disappointment. Get used to being happy boys the football Gods have finally shone their light upon us. Time to enjoy football like the Pats fans for the last two decades. Only we don't have to let ourselves become total douche bags because we were raised better.
  15. That wasn’t helmet to helmet. That was helmet to chest then slide and hit in the chin. I think the refs got that right. It’s unfortunate he got hurt but just because someone gets hurt doesn’t mean the defender was at fault. I’m sure there will be arguments on who sees that as bad hit vs clean hit. I think that’s clean. Close but clean by the rules standard.
  16. Just because Ford has been injured doesn’t mean he isn’t good. He’s shown really well in the preseason games. Ike in my opinion has looked worse this preseason than last year. Ford improves our run game too. Significantly over Ike who couldn’t move anyone off the ball last season. Ike can pass block for what it’s worth.
  17. It’s Norm Macdonald playing Burt Reynolds as a guest on Jeopardy. He puts his name down as Turd Ferguson.
  18. I only mentioned the other things as well because they were in other comments. They can lose game checks but guaranteed money is guaranteed money. The Bills are on the hook for that. Will be interesting how it plays out. New stuff evolving constantly.
  19. Everyone’s seems to be strongly opinionated about Beasley because he isn’t on their same narrative. But you’re also assuming the rest fall in line with that belief which they may or may not. Strong stance. But what if it’s mandated and Josh Allen sits out cause he’s not wanting to get vaccinated. Just assuming he’s gotten it or will is a big assumption. I see no reason why we can’t play this season the exact way we did last season pre vaccine. We made it through then surely we can do it again. This doesn’t need to be an issue. Mandating anything will make it an issue. Also the Supreme Court ruling back in 1912 was a $150 fine for not vaccinating. They didn’t pin the man down and vaccinate his child because he refused to vaccinate it. Just so we have the correct context. Any mandate that is applied people will still have freedom to choose. Like employers requiring it and employees quoting their jobs. The exact same could happen in the NFL. This is not as simple as many on here think it is. playing devils advocate assume JA is anti Covid vaccine like Beasley. You think the Bills would be stoked if it’s mandated and JA walks away and says he’s not getting it? They just guaranteed him $150 million. Just food for thought.
  20. We can go 7 WR. No way we go 8. Kumerow can replace Taiwan Jones as gunner I believe. So that would be the swap for the 4th RB. Giliam plays RB/TE. But we would at bare minimum carry Knox and Hollister. The log jam at DE is crazy. I bet we trade one. No way we hold onto 7. Some years we only have carried 4 (maybe 5). This year to carry 6 would be a lot. LB I suppose would be where we sacrifice for extra defensive linemen. This will no doubt be quite the debate once we see final cuts/roster. Joe B I enjoy his stuff but he is way off here I believe.
  21. While I agree with almost all of this one of his main reasons against the vaccine Cole has stated is that those with the vaccine are just as likely (or more likely) to transmit the virus. This is because they may have it but not feel the symptoms. His main complaint is why are they being held to a different standard. I don’t know what McKenzie’s beef is cause I didn’t read his tweets. I had the Covid 19 as well as all in my family. We have not had the delta. We live on the west coast and I’m not sure where this is more prevalent. The only cases of people I know who have personally had Covid in the last 3 months are 3 friends (all of whom had the vaccine). So I’m assuming that’s the delta variant that is going around. It seemed like all the Covid had began to come to an end (or was trending that way). Then we had a big surge. I still think it’s irrelevant. They need to wear the mask because it’s what is required. Even though I think the masks are useless we need to abide by the rules put in place no matter if we agree/disagree.
  22. It is probably best that it is far. Otherwise I would crush it every day and my cholesterol would get out of hand. I can guarantee Josh Allen eats In-N-Out. Everyone in California eats it. Fresno area fold especially. If you didn't enjoy it your first go around I highly recommend you give it another shot. It grows on you like a tumor.
  23. They fry the mustard onto the bun. It is unreal bro. I swear the hidden menu at In-N-Out is great. If you go fried mustard I suggest not getting the spread though. So you can enjoy the taste of the fired mustard. Also the spread is like 150 calories too. Delicious in it's own right as well.
  24. The big pull for me with shake shack was the mushroom and bacon option on the burgers. That being said straight burger for burger In-N-Out hands down for me. No spread, whole grilled onions, fried mustard, and chopped chilies. Just let the flavor soak in. I used to despise their fries but now I can’t stop eating those either. They must use cocaine or something. Good lord I know what I’m eating for my next meal. Food porn!
  25. I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t appreciate In-N-Out. I realize it’s a simple recipe but the burger is delicious. In my opinion the best out there. I had someone rave to me about Shake Shack and I tried that. To me it was just meh. But I understand everyone has a different pallet. My fallback plan if I ever become homeless is to just hang out near an In-N-Out and eat the grilled cheese and onions off of discarded food trays.
