    I could have selected nearly anyone .. but good God an F. Josh Allen at the end of the first round of the playoffs will have the second most passing yards and  by far the most rushing yards of any starting QB + the most receiving yards of any starting QB ... but let's dig deeper. I pulled the stats for the first playoff game of some of the great current QBs and many HOFers. I did not cherry pick .. I was actually surprised on the comparison.

    Josh was second in total yards. Investigate for yourself. Maybe I missed someone .. but seriously a little perspective would be good.

    This is the biggest reason I'm against fan negativity in general. The most emotionaly unbalanced will takes things to such extremes as sending messages to Cody Ford to kill himself after a big loss. It's not ok.

     

     

    It is sick .. I love the Buffalo Bills and I am disappointed when they lose and I can even get a bit angry when they do something stupid, but at the end of the day .. it is a game.  I heard one time a great saying "Life is lumpy. However a lump in your throat, a lump in your oatmeal, and a lump in your breast are not the same lump. Learn to know the difference."

    They also don't appear to have the cupcake schedule they had this year.......

    And they barely beat the Jets the 1st game  where they needed the Jets kicker to not be able to make a kick, there's a good chance the Jets could have squeaked out a win in the last week too.

     

    Who cares if they 'almost' beat the Ravens and Pats, the end result was still the same, they were all losses....

    They also don't appear to have the cupcake schedule they had this year.......

              - It is too early to tell, but yes it was a relatively easy schedule.

    And they barely beat the Jets the 1st game  where they needed the Jets kicker to not be able to make a kick,

             - that is the NFL .. if John Brown gets his feet in on that one drive we have first & goal.   If we hadn't gotten a phantom blocking foul on Cody Ford ... if ... you could do this all day.

     

    there's a good chance the Jets could have squeaked out a win in the last week too.

            - Really .. based on what? They rested their starters because it was a meaningless game. technically we were 10 - 5 with our starters. I know we should have been some number in your mind, but come on. Bill Belichick  was an amazing 20 - 28 in his first three years as a head coach.

     

    Who cares if they 'almost' beat the Ravens and Pats, the end result was still the same, they were all losses....

         - Teams that are growing. Would you prefer they couldn't stay on the field with them. Using your own logic there were many "one plays" in all three of those games where if the catch was made, the throw was better, the ... we would have won. If you are getting drubbed by the best teams the build has farther to go.

     

    You have the right to be a pessimist .. is is a free country, but the fact that others are optimistic as is our right as well .. and us optimists .. we are more enjoyable to be around :)

     

    Go Bills -- the 2020 - 2021 season is going to be great!

     

  4. This is a bit of a response to the optimist thread that was closed and probably shouldn’t have been. People have a right o express themselves ...,

     

    Sobering thoughts for Bills pessimists

    1) Josh Allen threw for more yards and ran for more yards ... oh yeah and caught more passes than Deshaun Watson who was playing in his second playoff game.

    2) The Bills offense had 2 returning starters from last year

    3) the Bills won 10 games and barely lost to the Ravens, and Pats twice .. and didn’t play the last game.,if they needed it are you delusional enough to think the Jets who barely beat our backups would have beaten our starters. 
    4) We lose almost nobody next year to Free agency

    5) we have gobs of cash to spend in free agency to get better

     

    come off the ledge ... better days are ahead

  5. Nice article just dropped by The Ringer that really speaks to the path forward for this team. Only 1 Defensive starter is an UDFA (Lorenzo Alexander) .. with Levi Wallace a RFA and no real high ticket-priced guys. This speaks to Beane (acquiring reasonable priced talent) and McDermott (getting the most out of them)

    Of the 6 Bills on the injury report thus far this week, two were veterans resting.  Houston has 9 on their injury report, including WRs Fuller and Stills, and both starting CBs; Joseph and Roby.  Their left tackle, Tunsil, was also on the report, as was one of their starting safeties.  All were limited.  I imagine most of those guys will play.  I wonder how much they could be hampered.

    Here is the complete list that includes JJ Watt .. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/01/j-j-watt-limited-in-wednesdays-practice/

     

    and this does not include DeShaun Gibson one of their starting safeties who went from starting last week to out for the year.

     

    Let's Go Bills!

  7. On getupESPN they were discussing the need for a leader of men .. they threw out Jack Del Rio and Jim Caldwell and then Domonique Foxworth threw out .... Rex Ryan who happened to be sitting across from him. Rex mentioned something about .. yeah someone who could win playoff games. Oh my the Browns would truly be must-see TV. Here is the link for the comedic value.  

     

  8. It appears the Texans had their two Starting CBs and a backup safety injured .... here is hoping they have a delayed recovery ... :). 
    https://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/texans/injuries/all/

     

    and for those who believe in “I want to beat the opponent at their best” ... what key players were missing from the Super Bowls for the losing team in 2000-2009. Nobody knows and nobody cares. People just know who won.

    The Bills allow their logo to be used on fan sites bc it promotes their brand. It's organic advertising for them. They made that decision. 

     

    Pinto Ron agreed to be filmed for the NBC spot. Does that mean that Pinto cars can take his face and slap it on their ads? 

     

    Mark Miller agreed to be filmed for a sports show, that doesn't necessarily mean it's ok for a corporation to repurpose his face for their advertising purposes. 

    If the new breakfast cereal Frothing Flakes used the imagery I get it. I am certain the Bills thought he would not mind because it is in support of the team he loves as I am certain there have been many incidences of the Bills having pictures of their fans on their website .. most people love it. I 100% guarantee they will no longer use it and the only person who will be unhappy is Mr. Miller.

    Thought the video was trash back in the day, have not changed my mind.

     

    If he owns the rights, he should get paid.  Just like the Bills would expect to get paid for their logo on a bag of chips.

    Just curious .. did you pay the Bills for the icon you are using for this site. Did Pinto Ron get paid for the BillsMafia video NBC recently did? Nope .. there are limitations. This was a fans rant caught on video .. he needs to chill. 

  11. Really good article on QB rankings with a solid several paragraphs on Josh with video breakdown on some of the good “what” plays and bad “what” plays ... he admitted that he is surprised by Josh’s development and points out he misses on key plays .. though he no longer makes the bad hero throws. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-17-qb-rankings-bills-need-more-consistency-from-josh-allen-to-make-a-deep-playoff-run/  A nice balanced analysis

    Yep he has Miami's #....  Unfortunately the last three times coming from behind in the 4th failed (Cleveland, Baltimore & NE).....  And again I blame the coaching not Allen.

     

    I've brought up stats continually & blame the coaching as they have not allowed Allen to be unleashed & see exactly what they had.  They had Peterman start last year..... 

     

    Take a look at every QB drafted top 15 & almost all have been quickly given the opportunity to sink or swim.  Deshawn Watson being a prime example.

     

    Lamar too is who he is because Baltimore configured an offense for him & his skill set.

     

    The offense is better but still 27th this year.....  

     

    By the way 47 games into McD's tenure & not a 300 yard game......  Had to throw that in.  

     But two play-off appearances .... had to throw that in
