  1. Completely agree. Blue on white is the best. White on white is good. I'm even okay with the white jersey and blue pants, but that seems unlucky and I have no urge to see that combination. Blue on blue is the color rush combination the team should use. Would love to never see the awful red on red uniform again. Red looks like a Patriot throwback jersey. Yuk!
  2. Until they win the Super Bowl, the Bills will always have the debacle in Jacksonville in the rear view mirror. When they return to the field against the Packers, they will be rested, nearly 100% recovered, and fully motivated. And at home. This game will get ugly, fast.
  3. Allen was from a small town and high school with no football pedigree. He was discovered, almost by luck, by a junior college coach, then after a year at that school and still almost totally ignored, he went to Wyoming. At Wyoming, Allen's receivers dropped almost as many passes as they caught. At no time did Allen receive any indepth coaching. Instead, all along the way, it was his physical talent that his coaches relied upon. Tom Brady was a sought after talent (even drafted by the Montreal Expos), but at Michigan he had difficulty winning the starting QB job. Jim Kelly left Penn State after Joe Paterno thought he was more suited to play linebacker. Proving that even major colleges can't recognize Hall of Fame talent when it's standing, in uniform, right before them. Allen never had any elite coaching, or attempts to alter his mechanics, until he reached the Bills. If he had, he never would have made it to the 7th pick in the 2018 draft. Even then, it wasn't until after his 2nd year when he had some intense coaching and analysis of his mechanics, that he blossomed. It also shut-up many experts who had declared that accuracy was the one QB trait that was almost impossible to improve. Allen is an anomaly that practically fell into the Bills laps. He ended up in the perfect situation, with the perfect organization. Compare the Bills to the dumpster fires in Arizona, Miami, Carolina, and Denver. Places where they've had, or have, talent and squandered and mishandled players. Miami has been hot and cold on Tua since they drafted him. Carolina has both Darnold and Baker and is mishandling everything. Arizona wasted Rosen and Murray might be happy to walk away from the team. Would any of those organizations, had they drafted Allen, had the patience for him to develop?
  4. "Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound . . . . " Josh Allen added to his catalog with that hurdle just before throwing the game winner! Thank you Taron Johnson for another definitive, game deciding interception. I'm going to waste most of tomorrow watching and reading about the Bills, and enjoying Nick Wright and Keyshawn Johnson and others eat crow. Not sure which is more satisfying, absorbing the victory, or watching the Bills and Josh Allen naysayers acknowledge that they were wrong. Terribly wrong.
  5. I like playing KC in KC. Revenge is a dish best served in the other team's home.
  6. CBS may fight to keep that game on Sunday and not surrender it to the Saturday broadcast. Miami has a fairly easy schedule until late in the season and may come to Buffalo very much in contention. They do, however, have two west coast games, against SF and the Chargers respectively, the two weeks before coming to Buffalo. No mercy for McDaniel and the Fish.
  7. I disagreed with his stance on getting vaccinated, but that aside, he was a terrific Bill. I was stunned when he first signed as a free agent, not believing he'd chose the Bills over Dallas, but he was a great contributor all the while he was in Buffalo. At the end of 2020, he was playing with a cracked bone in his leg and gutted it out. Enjoy retirement.
  8. Tom Brady might be the most relieved man in America this morning. He very nearly signed with the Dolphins in the offseason. Now, seeing how the Dolphins handle injuries to its QB he can be thankful he never went to Miami. Tua had a concussion on Sunday, but the head coach needed him on the field, so suddenly he had a back injury. Last night, Tua had a 2nd "back injury" but this was a lot more scary and impossible to diagnose as anything other than a head injury. The unnatural curving of his fingers, as he lay on the field, was disturbing and as the announcer said, "was a neurological response to head trauma", quoting a trainer for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The NFL should throw the book at Miami. They've already deprived them of their 1st round pick in the 2023 draft for past transgressions, but apparently in Miami they'll break the rules until they're caught. Well, they got caught and suspensions should be in order. Best wishes to Tua for a speedy recovery. But he should get a 2nd opinion instead of relying solely on the Miami team doctors.
  9. After watching last night's Chargers/Chiefs game I was both impressed and underwhelmed by both QBs. Herbert threw some great passes late, but was inaccurate early. He also threw the egregious pick that decided the game and in the direction of a completely gassed receiver. Mahomes' crazy athleticism is something to watch, but he threw a pass into the endzone that he was very lucky didn't get returned 100 yds. for a TD. Neither team had a pass rush that is as scary as Buffalo's. Overall, the Chargers were more impressive, and the last ditch on-side kick almost worked.
  10. Years ago, the Browns thought of putting the logo of a grinning elf on the helmets. The QB at that time was Milt Plum. Plum said, "I'll wear that when they start calling us the Fairies." That logo stunk and this one is worse.
  11. Good luck to him. He'll play his home games in a dome as well as division opponent Houston. The northernmost division opponent is Tennessee.
