People trashed Jim Kelly too. Remember Bill Polian saying "Jim Kelly is our quarterback, if you don't like it get out of town". I think this happened in the "bickering Bills" season of 1989.
Allen played against the super bowl champs. KC is a very good team and he has virtually no running game (unless he runs it himself). Lack of a running game is something Kelly never had to deal with during his career.
Drew Bledsoe X 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 athleticism not even close to Josh Allen. Fitz right now is more athletic than a "in his prime" Bledsoe.
With a tough schedule, this D, and the lack of a running game (needed in buffalo late season).... They will finish 8-8. Hope i'm wrong and they can fix it somehow but the D line and LB's are complete garbage. Every team will run it down our throat.
The big difference between 1991 and 2020 teams: The 1991 team had several proven stars and leadership on offense defense and special teams, and 1991 team could destroy you with a lethal running game.
I thought about this KC game over the past week and expected us to be 5-0 and have our first loss to KC this year. We got destroyed by KC in 1991 but shook it off and had a great season. Hope that happens again this year but the D needs to find some answers quick. I was in college in Buffalo back in those days. Fun times.
I agree - White and Milano are key to this defense and they are much better with them. However, the D-line just isn't getting it done. No QB pressure and very little penetration. It all starts up front.
D line is getting blown off the ball, no pass rush no penetration its sad. LB's look slow and out of position. Hopefully they can fix this. Someone on the D has to step up and become a leader. LORAX was that guy....his leadership is missed.
