    I agree that to have sustained success you need to look at roster and salary cap management with the long view.  I think you also need to take advantage of a situation when it presents itself to you, and I think we are in a legitimate window to bring a Super Bowl back to Buffalo in the next two years.

     

    We have a QB on his rookie contract, most of the other "skill players" are also on reasonable contracts.  We have an established offense and defense in a League where we will have a truncated off season placing those franchises with new head coaches (5) new D coordinators (11) and new O coordinators (10) at a serious competitive disadvantage.  How many more teams will have a new QB under center?  On top of that we are now sitting in a division where for the first time in 20 years we are favored to win and grab a home playoff game.

     

    Everything is lining up this year for the Bills (if we have a season).  This year is the best chance we've had to win a Lombardi since the Kelly Era.  It's not the time for Beane to be timid, it's time for him to strike while the iron is hot.  All I want is just one Super Bowl for the Bills in my lifetime, for these long suffering fans and our beleaguered city.  That's all I ask for.  My brothers and I buried our wonderful father last year in his favorite Buffalo Bills sweatshirt.  He never got to see his Buffalo Bills, Braves, or Sabres win a championship.

     

    It's f***ing time. 

     

    I couldn't agree more amen brother 

    GO BILLS

    You can say what you want, but Kong is a 1000-1 underdog against Godzilla.

     

    But it has to be written into the movie that Kong has to at least be majorly competitive and try to make it believable in the process.

     

    No easy task.

    Kong plus radiation is the only way I see it happening lol

    Don't sleep on the newer, bigger, more improved Kong. He is about to drop some elbows off the top rope.

    Radiation plus Kong is the ticket , some nuclear elbow drops should do?

    We're on a board where people common insult each other for bad grammar, misspelling, and sexual innuendo and now me joking about Godzilla is a bridge too far. Really? Goosfraba!

     

    A veteran athlete in the NFL isn't a bum, and outside of 20-50 players in the entire world better than him at his position any starter is fairly competent unless the coach puts in young players he wants to excel in the hopes they can be better than the vets who might be better today for salary cap reasons or potential.

     

    Maybe the silly joke about Godzilla was to give perspective that the sky ain't falling and our talent isn't that bad on offense. Maybe a Tannehill can change the 28th offense to the 4th best. Sometimes 1 player makes a huge difference, sometimes it doesn't without the right coaching. It's a complex sport.

     

    Cole Beasley is a fantastic athlete, the same with John Brown, Gore played fantastic to start the season, and Singletary is a great athlete and player. When people say Josh carried the team, or he had no weapons, or there is a dearth of talent I'm sorry but that's not a serious argument. 2018 season? Sure, but not 2019.

     

    If it takes putting down legit vets and athletes to feel better about the QB than you've lost perspective.
     

    Hey now I called Beasley and brown shiny new toys but honestly brown is a weak number 1 he is not open when he's not open he's no aj green or amari or Jones he's a level below that. So I'd say we have yet to see Josh's ceiling or even close to it when it comes to being a passer. Look at what other top QBs are working with, ***** mahomes has about 3 number 1 quality people who catch the ball between hill, mecole, and Watkins and then there's kelce.....I know I know mahomes is better but he's just unreal ...I'd like to see what Allen could do with that much surrounding talent and ref help

    Not even Josh Allen can take on Godzilla.

     

    No one or nothing can.

     

    ?

    I'd say Goku could defeat Godzilla ?

    I thought he had a lot of points correct.  For example, Beasley did have a slightly better year in 2016 than 2019, albeit in 16 games vs 15.  Then there are counterpoints: that was felt to be his prime and the reason the Cowboys let him go was that they felt he had slipped off. 

     

    Brown did have almost as good a year in 2015 (his second season), but that year Larry Fitzgerald in his prime was drawing the best coverage.  The counterpoint question with Brown was, if he's the focus of coverage attention can he do as well?  Answer: yes, and Allen helped him do it. and also, where has he been in the 3 years since 2015?

     

     

    Thanks for taking my points a bit further into detail I didn't even think that far into it ?

    There really isn't too much to argue here. Some might disagree with the spin on Smoke, and Beasley's "career years," or that Allen made Jones look above average (or that Jones ever looked above average, for that matter). But, for the most part, I agree with your opinion on Allen. For me, the two games that really highlighted Allen's character were vs Pittsburg, and Dallas. He's hard to rattle (which made his O.T. performance vs. Houston doubly disappointing). 

     

    But, I do have one issue with your post: Is Allen really "very polarizing?" I don't think so. Sure, there are the handful of usual suspects who will bend the narrative to fit their go-to negativity-- that's just a constant. And, there are plenty of posters who are skeptical. I'm skeptical. But, I would say the vast majority of Bills fans genuinely like him. In general, I'd say he is the opposite of polarizing-- he's downright inspiring, both for his team, and the fanbase. Tyrod Taylor was polarizing. EJ Manuel was polarizing. Peterman was polarizing. Josh Allen is Jesus Christ compared to those guys.

     

    As my skepticism towards Allen has lessened, my skepticism towards Daboll has increased.

     

     

     

    Awesome reply and I agree about the Pittsburgh and cowboys games for sure

    Year 1 Josh completely blew me away with his athleticism & scrambling ability. I thought this kid was some Bledsoe statue.

    Year 2 Josh did exactly what I expected him to do. He improved his accuracy and pocket decision making. Yes he struggled in deep throws & ball security but that can be corrected. He was always a 3-4 year project. This is no news flash to any Bills fan or NFL pundit. I expect in year 3 Josh continues his gradual upward trajectory. He still needs more OL help. He still needs a #1TE. And especially he desperately needs a #1WR he can develop chemistry with. Last but not least Daboll will need to step up his game too. Use Josh exploiting all of his strengths. Incorporate that into your offensive structure. I want much more from Josh Allen then a Dalton/Tanahill type qb. 

    I concur I doubt dabolls game plans and play calls much more than I doubt Allen as well and see the same needs for the team thanks for a well written reply

    Just some fact checking:

     

    Beasley had a good year. But was not too far off his normal production especially if you simply account for time on the field. Plus he has actually had a better year in 2016 - one being playing with a rookie Dak Prescott.

     

    Brown also a good year. But he also has played well and similar in most of his career. Other years have been similar and again if account for time on the field it correlates. In 2015 he put up a 1000 yd season with a 36 year old carson palmer. 

     

    Jones - He led the team in targets with the Bills and still only caught for 600 yds. Not a good example. 940 snaps in one year and 650 in the next. His numbers the first 4 weeks with the Bills were exactly the same as his numbers the rest of the year with the Raiders. 

     

    Still all impressive nonetheless imo and Palmer is nothing to sneeze at as well Dak is better than what people give him credit for and good catch about Beasley's best season I couldn't remember but I knew it was damn close and Dak had a damn good offense around him that season all in all not to mention an awesome line.

    One of the other 117 Josh Allen threads wasn't suitable for these thoughts, no?

    I think there needs to be more we are bills fans aren't we??

  7. Hi all I just wanted to drop a few thoughts about our very polarizing 

    Qb. I know there's a good number of bills fans and those outside the organization that still doubt Josh and his potential. He's a total enigma as told by many stat crunching sports writers. His stats aren't the prettiest but I'd say there is no competitor in the NFL that has MORE heart and grit to will a victory (I see him as a tie with 

    The most determined and focused QBs in the league in this respect). 

    And then there's the eyeball test, 

    Watch this kid when he plants his feet and the line holds for him....it doesn't get much better than that and he hasn't had very much help the last 2 seasons. A big thing to me is that he made Zay Jones look above average with his alligator arms and all in 2018 the kid put up a decent season. How did that work out for Derek Carr in the black and silver?? Then he gets 3 new toys in Beasley,smoke and singletary and I'll call Knox an unreliable but high upside toy so really 3.5 new toys haha.  He gives smoke and Beasley career years in only his second season with an almost all new supporting cast and has shown a serious chemistry throwing to Knox. Sprinkle in an average to slightly above average oline his numbers this year between wins and total TDS and major improvement in total TDS to int/fumbles lost ratio in 2019 is phenomenal. 

     

    I see this kid as willing to do what it takes to sniff a Superbowl and when he hits that stage I think he'll have improved enough at that point to not only beat the other team but to beat the refs in the process. 

     

    Over and out thanks if you read this long post?

    Some good stuff in here.

     

    https://www.buffalobills.com/news/why-wide-receiver-draft-prospects-like-what-they-see-from-the-buffalo-bills

     

    -Ruggs of course mentioning his Daboll connection through 'Bama

    -Jefferson has some Tre' White luuuuv

    -Higgins thinks he'd be fine with B'lo because Tennessee gets cold too ?

    "Clemson receiver Tee Higgins, who is one of the tallest receivers in the class, is a favorite to head to Buffalo on several mock drafts. Higgins likes what he sees in the toughness of the Bills, plus the cold doesn't scare him. "It's a playoff team," Higgins said. "It's real cold up there, but I'm from Tennessee and it gets cold up in Tennessee. It's just a team that's hungry and you can tell they're pushing for a Super Bowl really soon."
    (I like the way this guy thinks, though Clemson players kinda make me nervous after Spiller and Sammy Watson)

    -Viska Shenault plans to be a Star:

    "I see myself being a star, honestly," Shenault explained. "I think I would be able to open up more space and just be able to do things that the other receivers don't do just as far as my size and other things."

    Sheanult isn't a stranger to Josh Allen, explaining he watched Allen in the playoff game against the Houston Texans.

    "I think he's great," Shenault said. "I was watching his playoff game. I think he's a dog. I think he makes things happen so it would be great to play with a quarterback like that."

     

     

     

    Awesome post this is fun to hear seems like Siberia isn't too bad of a place anymore, Allen passes the eyeball test when considering the lack of talent around him the last 2 seasons and I'm glad top wrs in college see what his potential is. Bottom line he took smoke and gave him a career year and did the same for Beasley and last season made a total bum wr zay j look above average, howd that work out with Derek Carr in the black n silver????

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/cowboys-expected-to-move-on-from-jason-witten-this-offseason/ar-BB10qGsm?li=BBnb7Kz

     

    But where does that leave tight end Jason Witten? From the sound of it, the Cowboys have already made their decision on Witten, and some fans might be disappointed.

     

    The expectation is that Witten will not return to the Cowboys in 2020, according to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. Witten, 37, has expressed his desire to continue playing, but knows he’ll have to consider going to another team.

    Can Jason Witten help another team?

    After a one-year retirement, Witten returned in 2019 and turned in a solid season. He hauled in 63 catches for 529 yards and four touchdowns. He’s no longer at his peak, but those numbers are similar to the ones Witten put up in 2017. He saw some decline after his year away from football, but it wasn’t a steep drop-off.

    As a coach sure

    I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Singletary drag 4-5 defenders on his back for an extra 4 or 5 yards. I think Singletary is a tougher runner than we think. I have no reservations whatsoever about plugging him in on the goal line. I’m not against drafting a power back but I don’t view Singletary as strictly a scat back or finesse back, he’s pretty strong. I think Singletary can get you the tough yards.

    We need someone who can be what we thought Gore would be for the goaline and short yardage situations 

    A good hammer if you will and for late in games once singletaries shake and bake style and ankle breaking tires defenses out

    Great team leader, great guy...BUT, he has to be a runner to be an effective QB.  Kind of Cam Newton-ish.  
     

    The Bills are not using him properly if they think he’s going to stand back there, scan the field like Brady or Matt Ryan, and shred opposing defenses.  I think Daboll started to get it right after those first few games last season where he was planted in the pocket.  Josh better figure out how he can best stay healthy while still running around and making plays. That’s his game.

    You don't eat a cake till it's done baking right?

    This is the correct response to the op.  Even the most "just play better" kind of Bills fan can't deny it when you look at "give himself up gate", no call on helmet to helmet, 0 on the play clock on 3rd and 18 and the phantom illegal block call on Ford all together.

     

    We have to beat the other team AND the refs in big games.

    Amen

    Now it all makes sense. Dimarco and Knox didn’t block Cunningham because we didn’t have a waterfront dome. 

     

    Duke didn’t catch those balls because the league wants more luxury suites in Buffalo. 

     

     

    Allen lost his damn mind because he wants higher beer prices for all of us.

     

     

     

    Milano can’t tackle because ...he sucks. Sorry Matt.

    I have seen the results of that water in many Niagara County posters.

    They act like they grew up in Florida schools!

     

    When refs are repeatedly making bad calls to a team it hurts morale which hurts performance.

     

    I think one of the players tried to give a message "if you are playing for opposition we can hit you" but it was too late.

    Agreed

    yeah, you're right....white nationalism is the only explanation why an industry built on hype was hyping JJ Watt Saturday.

     

    Meanwhile Booger could not stop gushing over Josh Allen the whole game.  At least we know Boog's got his white nationalist cred on tight.

    I'm just honored that my post got such wild replies this has been a fun one ?
