Love the stories. Great topic, OP! My friend gave me two suite tickets for the Toronto series game against the Falcons. Me and my cousin go to the game. I’m the only fan (if I recall correctly) that had a JK jersey on in the suite. Mind you the odds since there was the capability to have 40,000 to 50,000 fans in the stadium. In walks JK into the suite and he sits right next to me for a little bit. We took a couple pics and he signed my jersey. The Toronto series was an awful idea (we were only 1-5 for the series and lost that game in OT, 34-31). That said, I’m thankful for the Kelly memory. I still have the jersey. Go Bills!

Me too, Virg, about Lamar. I think he’s going to regress or level off. I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s going to be a dominant force.

I agree, bro. Nobody knows what’s gonna happen but the hope is there. The future looks bright. This is the first time in forever where I have gone into a season thinking we could go to the big game.

I definitely see what you’re saying. That said, I don’t think anyone is anointing him an HOF candidate yet. To your logic, is JK anointing him just because he thinks it can happen too? The potential is there, and with all the crap QBs we’ve had since JK, it’s awesome that JA is where he’s at starting in year four. It’s going to be fun to watch, and to your point, let’s see what happens. Go Bills!

Good one, Augie. Love it!

Yup! SB wins are most important. That’s why it’s cool though. When’s the last time we could say that about any Bills QB since JK? We haven’t been able to. Thanks, Greg. Go Bills!

Good thoughts, Doc! I do believe he can get the all time wins as a Bill. It would be awesome if he could somehow break AFC title appearances and wins for a Bills QB. So cool after all these years to have so much hope for the future going into year 4 for a Bills QB. Go Bills!

Thanks for sharing. I get what you’re saying. That said, you still need consistency and longevity to break records. Especially when you’re talking about JK records. It’s cool that JA is heading in that direction. We haven’t had this kind of direction in a QB since JK. Go Bills!

Like some on this board, I started liking the Bills in the late eighties when JK had the reins. He’s all my time favorite Bill. There’s nothing earth shattering in this article (link below) but it talks about how he thinks JA is going to break his Bills records. That’s awesome. He’s been pretty complimentary of JA throughout, he’s even liked a couple other QBs (initially) between him and JA, but to come out and give record breaking talk is another evidence of the potential ride we’re on with JA. Let’s just take JK’s passing record for example. JA is still about 26,000 passing yards away. I know that’s not a monumental hurdle but it will still take several years to surpass that. That’s kind of my point. When’s the last time we as Bills fans could look so far into the future and it look so bright??? I was talking with my son the other day and it was really weird when we said it out loud that we’ve been to the playoffs three out of the past four years. Not that I didn’t already realize it but it just took it to a deeper level of, “Wow, we really are in different times”. And the cool thing is, barring something really bizarre, we should be in these times consistently for quite a while because of #17. Go ahead, JA, break all of JK’s records, including winning a SB. Records were made to be broken and us Bills fans will continue to enjoy the ride. From JK to JA. Go Bills!

Do you think the 60 plus will happen against one of the AFC East teams?

There’s nothing like Bills football. Go, go Buffalo. The Bills make me wanna shout. Let’s go Buffalo. Go Bills!!!

Are you thinking one of DS, ZM or even MB breakout to make the run game more effective? Or do you think the run game will be more effective based on a collective effort?

I love that he called him the complete package. Feels great to have a superstar at QB.

Good thoughts. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I’d gladly take less points if it meant a better and more efficient defense. That type of defense is so crucial to our Super Bowl run. Go Bills!

Wow! Over HALF the league. That’s crazy!! I didn’t think it was that bad. Me thinks that the ability to produce so quickly is unrealistic.

Woohoo! So, what you’re saying is that we’ll get 17 wins this year, one of them being a SB win. I like it!

It is very nice to have a stable and consistent coach in McDermott. It’s crazy though how unstable a coach’s job is.

TB, speaking of injuries, do you believe JA is at a level now where he would still do well if there was an injury or two at a star WR position?

Totally, Primetime. JA makes everyone better. Love it!

We got a keeper, Buffalo. Woohoo!

Good thoughts. If it came down to a better more efficient defense, I’d gladly take less points. A better defense will be crucial to our Super Bowl run. Go Bills!

Yeah unless they really regress, which I don’t expect them to, I don’t see why they won’t score more either. They actually have a lot easier schedule (on paper) than they did last year. I don’t expect the division to be much better either. The patriots will bring back many Covid opt outs on defense. That said, who knows how long it will take that many people to gel again. Don’t they have like eight people on defense coming back?

Bro, congratulations. You’re going to have the time of your life! You’ve got to try Abbott‘s Pizza while you’re there. I know there’s at least one in West Seneca which is very close to Orchard Park. If you have the time, I’d also encourage you to drive the country roads. It’s neat to see and experience the different towns and villages as well as what upstate New York looks like and has to offer. Besides the gas, it can be a free part of your trip. I live in California too in San Diego (which is the reason for the 619 in my name. It’s one of the SD area codes). I’m a diehard bills fan also. I have a lot of family in New York and used to live on the East Coast so I know the area well. Have fun, bro!

Good perspective. Hopefully there’s not much bone left to gnaw on when it comes to Tua. 🤣

Love it, Iron Maiden. Man, I hope so. Can’t wait for the season to start. Go Bills!
