Yeah...I wish we had Big Ben's receivers!
Beasley and brown are a start, we need a plaxico and a young big bruising back to pair with singletary and I thought no we're pretty well set also Knox is maturing nicely

From the ticker, saw the Bills stomped the Cards that day to get to 2-5! I remember that game.
That was a really frustrating season I'll never forget us losing to 3rd stringers to close out the season and miss the playoffs at 9-7 ?
What a flash back watching that video is haha

That's funny because this video popped up on my YouTube recommended vids a few days ago too and I immediately thought about this too. Hopefully Josh keeps his athleticism for years to come. Ben was a bit more polished as a passer though even then. There's definitely similarities.
Haha exactly what happened to me too lol I just watched this minutes ago and I got to thinking about Josh's play when I was watching Ben. I feel like he is 1 to 2 big-time playmakers away from showing us consistent elite play.

This is a great watch to see what Brady played like earlier in his career(year 3 I think?) and to see how Ben played as a rook. Look at their stats from their first 3 to 4 years they aren't all that great and they were on great teams to boot(I know I know different era but hey at least I'm not comparing stats from the 90s haha). I see Josh as very similar to Ben in more ways than one and Ben had better weapons and a better team in general than what Josh has today let alone his rookie year.(many stars on defense and plaxico,ward,randle El, deuce,the bus etc.) I'm interested to see Josh's stats by the end of this year, when you put the rushing Tds in with the passing Tds and combine the yards I think we'll all be pretty happy with his second year(well maybe not all of us haha). All in all I feel like Josh's ceiling is a more athletic Ben.
The 2 things we really need to get to the next level, our own Plaxico and a Joey Porter ?
Cheers I can't wait for Sunday this game will be our teams biggest test yet.

Yet many on here think Josh Allen is trash ?? Look at what Josh can do with a wr who is a number 2 on a third of NFL rosters. Josh has been passing the eyeball test for me, I don't care about the stats I can see it. The kid is elite, his precision and touch from 1-20 yards is unreal. The rest will come with time but why not get first downs on first or second down as Daboll says. If We can get he another top tier outside wr and some more line help as well as another bruise ng back to pair with singletary that can also catch look the hell out.

Sorry if someone already made this point, but I'm at work and didn't have time to read through every post.
Josh Allen is playing mistake free the last few games (bravo), but it's also severely hindering him. The clear reason for not being able to connect on a deep ball, is his fear of throwing an interception. As a result, the ball always ends up in no man's land. Not only can it not be picked, but also has no chance of our guys coming down with it. I mean, he hasn't even been close. It's grossly overthrown every-time. I've felt this way for weeks, but he just confirmed it in his post game presser. They asked him if he can pin-point the reason, for not being able to hit the deep ball, and he just said, I don't know, followed by.......I don't know if I'm super anxious about under-throwing it, and getting an interception. The coaches have him playing scared. This is a major detriment to his development. News flash.....we are not winning the Super Bowl this year, but we have this special talent, that we need to develop. Peyton threw 33 picks his rookie year. I'm sick of this ultra conservative approach. The only we we are beating the better teams in this league, is if Josh plays up to his potential, and that's not happening with the leash that they have on him. Let him go, and win or lose, live with the results. We'll be better in the long run for it.
Exactly how I feel about Josh and the deep ball he's just scared of throwing picks

Roman is a genius at designing run plays and coordinating blocking schemes for the rushing attack. There isn’t anyone better. However, his passing game is dependent upon the pressure applied by the rushing attack. He currently has the most talented QB prospect he’s ever had, and Jackson’s skill set and Romans offense are a perfect marriage. Roman has also adapted and improved his organization and playcalling. I’m interested to see how/if the offense evolves over 2-3 seasons as previous QBs have faltered as the league catches up to the rushing concepts and the QB starts taking hits.
By contrast Daboll is basically running Charlie Weiss’ EP offense with some west coast and college concepts (RPO, etc) integrated into it. It’s not a simple system and is kind of an amoeba based on exploiting matchups. With a young and inexperienced QB this style of offense isn’t going to look good. Instead of being advantageous, this offense just looks like it lacks an identity right now. All the pressure for offensive improvement is on Allen to get better. The kid needs more help with both talent and playcalling.
Excellent take and thanks for the education ?

To be fair, his offense finished in the top 10 with Tyrod Taylor at QB. So 1 year of success I supoose.
Exactly imagine what he could've done with Allen instead of tyrod and some decent wrs like we have now

Call me crazy but Greg Roman would have been the perfect play caller for this current squad. Look at what he's made of Lamar in Baltimore. He knows how to call plays to his teams strengths. We would have already been gashing teams all season with singletary and Allen would look even better than he already does because the play action would be working well for it. Just my 2 cents but daboll has gotta go he's holding this team back I can't take watching any more of these head scratching "cute" play calls when the game is on the line.

Of all the reasons why the Bills are a flawed team, Cole Beasley's production is so far down on the list I can't even fathom the rationale behind turning that kindergarten doodle of an article into a post.

Although Jerry isn't getting results, he is not alone We need more sacks, more QB pressures and more TFL than we are currently seeing, week in/week out.
We need to replace Hughes with an elite player be it draft or fa this off-season and we need Oliver to get up to speed and Shaq to be resigned he's playing better and better and looks to be above average as is. Add in an above average talent to replace zo and we should be set. Same with the offense we get a stud wr and another good rb as well as a stud tackle and guard and we're all set for contention and stealing the division next season imo

Luckily all we need is a nice edge and a nice dt we can make that happen. This next season is when Beane plugs all the gaps and we contend as well as take the division

It's pretty wild how good our defense is even with there being obvious room for upgrades or development of talent at some Marquee positions. I'll start with Jerry, I'm a huge Jerry Hughes fan but was has happened with him this year in your opinion?? He was far and away the best d lineman on the squad the last handful of years and this year he's invisible. It seems like he lost a large step to me and that his speed was his biggest asset at getting around tackles. On the plus side Shaq has looked pretty good this year and is trending up and I'd say he's going to be above average from here on out and also this shows that when we do get an elite edge defender to pair with Shaq we will be a very scary defense not that we aren't a very good defense now but we could move into the possible Ravens early 2000 level of d.
With room for improvement at corner #2 and at d tackle from Oliver and the Phillips brothers and hopefully a replacement for star as well as a replacement for the aging Zo it's wild to think that this defense will grow and become even better.
Go Bills!!!!!! 6 and 2 feels good folks!!

Phillips has 6 sacks, tops among DT's. Donald right behind him with 5. Honestly that is pretty amazing considering Donald was unbelievable last year at getting to the QB...
The dude is very talented imo and he's not getting much help and isn't playing next to anyone of significant talent imo, Shaq has been the next best lineman to him on the squad, Jerry fell off a cliff this season and Trent is average, star is star is say he's average at best. This shows just how good he really is imo

The Bills had another grind-it-out win against an underperforming team Sunday, stopping the Redskins at New Era Field, 24-9. There was what’s become the typical collection of encouraging plays and puzzling shortcomings, but in the end the Bills had enough to win comfortably.
In these wins, the Bills are more in control of the game than the score indicates, which is little comfort to fans. A one-score game in the third quarter is still a one-score game, even if, in retrospect, it seems clear that the Bills were in charge. No one is comfortable waiting for Tre’Davious White to make his play of the game and seal the victory.
Put another way, week after week it becomes clearer that the Bills are not a dominant team. They’re a team that goes about its business seriously, works hard, comes ready to play and beats teams that can’t or don’t bring the same level of commitment to the field. They understand well that it’s a long game and in the course of the game some things are going to go badly. They work hard to keep those bad things from happening, but their real strength is in how they respond to adversity.
And so it was on Sunday, when Adrian Peterson was being Adrian Peterson, putting up a Hall of Fame afternoon, at least for a half. The Bills were in charge on the scoreboard, 17-6, but the fans were restless. The Bills were ugly in short yardage in the red zone, settling for a long field goal after being first and goal from the two and barely sneaking into the end zone on fourth down after failing three times from the one.
In fact, the Bills were in charge. At the half, Washington hadn’t found the end zone and wouldn’t for the rest of the day. It was classic bend-don’t-break defense. Statistically, many of Washington’s numbers were similar to the Bills, but the Bills wouldn’t let Washington finish. The Bills got the critical third-down conversions and Washington didn’t (6 of 12 for the Bills, 2 for 11 for the Redskins). Buffalo finished in the red zone and Washington didn’t (3 for 4 vs. 0 for 2).
Wins or not, these games show off the those areas where the Bills just aren’t good enough yet to be a premier team. The offensive line, for one. In the off-season, the Bills signed a collection of marginal NFL linemen, hoping to put together a line that would outperform the 2018 version. That’s what the Bills got – some journeymen who were better than a pretty bad 2018 starting line, but who are still journeymen. Cody Ford hasn’t stepped up, Dion Dawkins isn’t dominant, and so the Bills struggle on the line. Sunday they failed miserably in short yardage. When asked about it after the game, Sean McDermott essentially said “well, I’ll have to look at the film, but I don’t have to look at the film to know that no one was moving his man off the ball.”
Wide receiver, for another. After last week’s game, I said the Bills need better playmakers on offense, including more speed. This week, Duke Williams went to the sidelines and the Bills inserted their speed into the lineup, with McKenzie, Foster and Roberts getting much more playing time. It didn’t help much. Brown, Singletary, Knox and Beasley still were the pass catchers; the speed boys didn’t contribute much.
And the pass rush, for another. The Bills recorded four sacks against the Redskins and got occasional good pressure, but the pass rush wasn’t enough to make the rookie uncomfortable in his first start . He was able to stand in the pocket and complete plenty of passes.
One of the sacks was White’s. It was a crucial play emotionally for the Bills. They continued to nurse their one-score lead, unable to manage a lot of offense for themselves. Washington had the ball deep in their own end, and Bills could use a stop for field position and a chance to put up a field goal to create some breathing room on the scoreboard. On third and ten, White came off the corner, stayed under control as Haskins tried to escape, and made the tackle, forcing the punt. Energized, the Bills offense drove for the touchdown that essentially ended the game.
White’s sack was a good example of why the Bills’ defense is so good. Their defensive style isn’t what I’d call aggressive, but they aren’t afraid to change things up. The safeties are in the offensive backfield often, and the Bills will rush a corner off the slot occasionally, but I don’t recall a true corner blitz all season. The Redskins had no reason to have prepared for that rush, and the surprise element is what made it so effective, along with White’s flawless execution of the play.
Devin Singletary sparkled once again. Having been elevated to the starting role, he gave the Bills exactly what they’d hoped for: a big play threat who repeatedly sparked drives with his elusiveness and quickness. The screen pass was perfectly executed and caught Washington off guard. Singletary has what Gore lacks – the ability to create something when it appears there’s nothing there.
It was surprising that the Bills had the lead with the half that Adrian Peterson had. He was unstoppable, plowing into the line and staying upright until something opened up for him. It wasn’t classic Peterson from earlier in his career, but his strength was always underrated. It was on display Sunday, play after play.
Once Levi Wallace had Peterson in his sights for a big loss. They were both upright, face-to-face, with Wallace wrapping his arms around Peterson. Peterson broke free for a short gain. A fan behind me yelled “HE’S GOTTA MAKE THAT TACKLE!!!” Well, yes but that’s not just any running back. That’s Adrian Peterson, and he’s been doing exactly that for a long time. There’s no shame in being beaten by Adrian Peterson.
Tremaine Edmunds was nowhere to be seen on many of Peterson’s first-half runs. He was either trapped in the wrong gap or unable to get off one-on-one blocks, left to try to chase down Peterson from behind.
McDermott said after the game that the Bills needed to adjust their run fits to respond to Washington’s running game, and it worked. Edmunds seemed to become more of a factor in the second half, and Peterson was shut down.
Edmund’s problems in the run game notwithstanding, it’s a thing of beauty to watch him close on running backs and receivers. His combination of size and speed is awesome, and although his isn’t a big hitter, he’s become a solid tackler. Impressive dude.
Jordan Phillips was promoted to the starting lineup Sunday, and he didn’t disappoint. Besides being cheerleader No. 1, Phillips was a disruptive force on multiple plays. In an injury-conscious league, big hits don’t happen too often any more. His ferocious sack of Haskins electrified the crowd.
And there was Josh Allen. I’ve said Allen will be a star in the NFL, and I continue to believe it. The big name draft choices from 2018 are struggling, and Lamar Jackson is outplaying them all, but of the top four, Allen is the only one who seems to be steadily improving and showing signs that he will be elite.
Allen keeps getting better in the pocket, hanging in until he has to move, then moving enough to give him the time to make a quality throw. His escape and throw through Brown’s hands was almost magical; the ball got on Brown so quickly that he couldn’t handle it. Brown made amends with a great catch on the sideline a few minutes later on another superb Allen throw. The touchdown to Beasley was beautifully executed, with Allen in complete control. The back shoulder throw to Brown up the left sideline was a gem, too. Allen didn’t throw a lot, but when given the opportunity, he looked like a winner.
Ball security obviously is a concern with Allen, as are a half dozen other issues that his coaches see but aren’t obvious to me. Allen is working and learning, and we continue to see the improvement.
It was a solid win against a struggling team. Now the schedule gets tougher, and we will see just how well the Bills can play. The Browns won’t be easy, and the Ravens, Cowboys, Steelers, and Patriots are waiting down the road. It’s been fun so far, and we’ll see what the next month brings.
GO BILLS!!!

B+/A- 111.6 passer rating(not his fault the coaches are playing Jauron Ball) that is not C/C+ material like some seem to think. When you throw in he was our best short yardage threat and he won, it has to be higher. No Ints in 3 straight and 7 TDs vs 1 Int in last 4 games.
My thoughts exactly!!

BTW, he was kinda bummed when he saw all the Eagle fans out Saturday night, and he thinks they can be pricks too and he just wanted to come up and party with Bills Mafia
Holy crap that's awesome that you saw my response and remembered those fools!!! I was getting pretty pissed with them lol but I just kept thinking a night in jail isn't worth it bahaha I can handle normal behavior but cussing like that in front of kids gets me upset the kids aren't there to be taught to be degenerates by strangers imo lol I'll tell ya the Giants fans weren't much different when I went to that game this year, there was an old dude 2 rows back who was cursing Eli and the coaching staff and the defense to the high heavens and even his own kind were telling him to stop, the guy had families all around him some people are just rude and don't give a f. I digress anyhow GO BILLS

My visit to the Ralph for the Eagles game was a challenge. Never mind the 40 mph winds, the rain, the massive lines at the refreshment stands (for which I missed a Bills TD) or the fact that the Bills got crushed.
The place was infested with Eagles fans. And I have to say that these were some of the most obnoxious fans I've ever seen. I expect them to celebrate when their team does well but they were constantly sticking it in our faces and doing their level best to remove any remaining enjoyment from the outing for Bills fans.
The only reason these guys didn't get their faces pushed in is that Buffalo people are nice. The Philly fans lived up to - maybe exceeded - their woeful reputation.
I was there too and I have to agree, I was 136 row 23 seats 6 and 7, I brought a good friend of mine who's an eagles fan so we could see our teams slug it out in the rain. There was a group of eagles fans in the row below us. They were a family of about 5 an uncle and the dad plus 3 of their sons(their kids seemed to be mid to late 20s) and every time we had a good play or scored they kept screaming buffalo effin sucks at the top of their lungs with children right below them and to their side?
Needless to say myself and the other bills fans(young and very old) were getting fed up with it and a few buffalo fans got in their face because they were nudging into us on purpose and getting a kick out of it. I told the scum bags "keep it up and there's gonna be a fight today boys and they looked surprised so I told em "the Ralph takes a person or 2 every year you don't let it be you" and they shut up pretty quick because their eldest group member agreed with me and told them to stop. And then they had quarters and pennies thrown by the handful at them shortly thereafter ?
Not by me might I add
