We saw the lethality of Josh Allen today. With a beyond sub-par performance by the Defense, crucial missed calls by the refs and a head scratching timeout at the end of the game, we were still in it. As a holdover from the Bills SuperBowl Era, cherish what we have at QB today. Because tomorrow is right around the corner.

This will be interesting to see how these two fourth round picks play out. Bills had their choice and went with a RB who is 4 years older and smaller. Their division rival used their pick 6 picks later on Allen. Hoping the Bills got it right. Candidly, I preferred Allen due to his age, size and college experience coming from a run oriented program like Wisconsin. Both have had solid preseasons thus far and look like they will be contributors. Thoughts on who will have the better career? Braelon Allen: 6ft 1in 235lbs 20 years old pick 134 by the NYJ Ray Davis: 5ft 8in 220lbs 24 years old pick 128 by the Bills

They've been 1a and 1b for almost 5 years now, with Mahomes maintaining a slight edge. But Josh Allen has passed Patrick Mahomes and is currently the best QB on planet Earth. That is all.

This is pretty hilarious... Hot mics capture Spencer Brown and a coach being confused and asking Shakir "I thought that was supposed to be a handoff" and Shakir told him "He asked me 'what do you want?'". Allen is on a different level right now and gets my vote for Best teammate Ever! 🤣 https://x.com/NFL/status/1869123152887898451/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1869123152887898451&currentTweetUser=NFL

Love this dude...This is awesome and gives some good insights into some past history of events... Vontae Davis told him on the sideline "Yeah, young boo...I think I'm done...I ain't got it no more...this is a young man's game...I'm done" 😂😂 Said Davis was done with like 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter and told him and Frazier he wasn't going back in, not at halftime. Said him and Shady called him on Facetime the next day and went over to his house and he answered the door with a huge glass of wine and Shady was like "Oh you gonna take like a week off and be back right?" nad Davis is like "Nah, man..I'm done, ain't nothing they can do...it's a young man's game...you Shady McCoy, you "Cut on a Dime", but you gonna know what I'm saying one day...you gonna make that cut and them young boys ain't goin' for it no more and you'll know it's that time." Tre said they were dying laughing...

From earlier in the season, but pretty sure he would still be garnering at least as many votes after the Chiefs game. Guess whoever thought he was overrated forget to vote this time 😂

Sorry if there is another thread on this, but I did not see it if there is. I am not sure how many folks caught this, but on his touchdown run the second defender to hit him at the goal line #23 punched him in the head. It was a glancing shot, but if you carefully watch the video you will see Josh's head snap to his right. I think there was some discussion about the Colts defender throwing multiple bunches at Josh and hitting him in the head last week. This is starting to become a trend that can not continue! I am sure that both players would say they were trying to punch the ball out, but they need to be fined, severely, if they miss and hit a player in the head.

Here's the link: https://wapo.st/3Z9cGcN Some excerpts: In ways both obvious and unseen, Allen epitomizes what it means to be an NFL franchise quarterback. He throws military-grade passes and scrambles like a hurricane. He also organizes remote offseason workouts, calls players-only strategy sessions, picks up the tab at celebratory dinners, makes post-practice tee times and hosted the team’s Halloween party. At 28, Allen has mastered the delicate art of being both The Man and one of the guys. Knox said. “I don’t know anyone else that can do it like he does. I can’t imagine the type of pressure and stress he has to deal with. The way he does it is just mind-blowing. He hasn’t changed one bit in terms of just being a good dude. I don’t know how that’s possible with what he has to deal with. Each week during offseason practices, Allen took a new trio of teammates out for rounds of golf, his offseason obsession. He made intentional choices to bridge different ages and positions — one nine-hole round included Shakir, backup quarterback Shane Buechele and third-year linebacker Terrel Bernard. He has received extensive criticism for his interceptions and countless chances to explain them away, to snap just once and fault a wideout’s mistake. He has not done it. “We all know guys, even when they don’t directly point fingers, you read between the lines,” Beane said. “Josh never even gives you anything between the lines.

185 passing 58 rushing 1 receiving Josh Allen has the most total touchdowns in team history and he’s not even 30.

I haven't counted, but I have to be over 2 dozen at this point. He has given us MANY great moments - but that was as impactful as any play he has had in the regular season, imo. For starters, just about everyone in the country was watching at that point of the game. The stakes were pretty high- if we don't pick up that 4th down, with just over 2 minutes to go, it's not a stretch to predict what probably would have happened. And now, instead of playing out the string with very little consequence, we're right in the mix for the 1 seed. I also heard a pundit say yesterday that if the MVP race is close at all at the end, that play alone will put him over the top. Also, it's fun to note that he started that run at the 37 yard line.

I've been getting a kick out of these. If anyone's got other ones, post them here 😄

I don’t always listen to sports radio, but I happened to today. On three different shows, the hosts discussed Allen, and how he has always done what it takes to win(and beat the Chiefs). completely gone was the narrative that “he can’t beat Mahomes” and “ he can’t win in the playoffs “. And in its place was “Allen has always done enough to win, his defense/coaching/etc has let him down.” “He left the field with a lead and 13 seconds remaining, that’s not a lose by Allen”. “Their kicker missed a FG, Allen didn’t miss” Couple that with Rex Ryan saying “the Bills have lost to the Chiefs, But Allen has never lost to the Chiefs” the Media is finally looking past the team W-L record and considering what Allen has done. when they talked MVP award? It was a 2 or 3 man race. And Allen was #1. The deciding factor? Lamar (#2) doesn’t show up in big games. Allen DOES. (Distant 3rd they were talking Goff?) this might be the year Allen gets his very deserved MVP

I honestly can't think of anyone else on the roster who can't be had for the right price. Cook?

*** edited the title so others are inspired to add to it even outside just hurdles *** Not sure if this is all of them. Not sure if anyone posted a compilation but I searched hurdle and didn't find a dedicated thread. I found the link below and thought it deserves a thread. I know I want to keep track of this. They do include some old Reedley College and Wyoming clips in here. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/josh-allen-hurdle-compilation-bills-qb/xvgozdmupexcwdpdi7cyp51a There was mention of another Reedley College hurdle into the endzone but no clip. Love that one, GO BILLS! Enjoy and hopefully we will be adding more to this !!!!

I am surprised I had not heard about this from a few days ago and I don't see it on the main page, so not sure if its been shared here. To call him not only overrated, but one of the MORE overrated players in the NFL goes beyond stupid. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/7/15/24199160/nfl-exec-considers-bills-qb-josh-allen-overrated-despite-espn-top-3-rank “One of the more overrated players in the NFL,” a veteran NFL executive said. “Immense talent but he makes a lot of mistakes. He’s underdeveloped at winning at the line of scrimmage, tends to lock on to targets, more of a thrower than precision passer, forces throws into traffic.” You want to have some critiques...fair, all players have things they can improve. But the overrated nonsense is comically stupid...which is why they were too much of a wuss to put their name on it. I love it though...just more fuel for the beast Josh Allen! Almost everyone in sports media came to his defense (except Nick Wright who I wont even bother to post here). Here are just a few of those clips where they talked about what an absurd statement this is:

When many are trying to tear Josh Allen down, remember this game that will go down in NFL history. 2022 playoff game Buffalo 47- Patriots 17 1. The Bills scored TD's on seven straight possessions. 2. The Bills never punted, turned the ball over, or faced a 4th down. 3. Josh threw more TD passes (5) than incomplete passes (4) 4. The Bills had 51 offensive plays and only two plays were negative and those two were Josh's kneeldowns. When the "experts" try to convince us that Josh doesn't play well in the playoffs, this is one example that totally contradicts that. This game was the greatest offensive game ever played in NFL history since the beginning of the superbowl era.

Allen ranked 4th last year directly behind Mahomes. Good chance if the ball isn't complete when Allen is throwing downfield, it's not on him.

I didn’t see this posted anywhere but looks like the guy I’ve always compared Josh to has admitted that his loss was Buffalos gain. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10130089-john-elway-not-drafting-josh-allen-was-probably-biggest-mistake-as-broncos-gm.amp.html

Haven't seen this mentioned on here. I used the search, so if it is please feel free to merge. Pegula apparently is upset that Allen has not embraced being in more of a CEO type role and instead is more of the "guy's guy" with teammates. Pegula wants Allen to be "above" teammates and the clear leader in that way as well similar to how some other QBs are...most notably like Brady probably. Pegula wants Allen to exhibit more of an "Executive Demeanor" and less of the "buddy buddy" way he is now with teammates... Assuming this is because it blurs the lines and allows others to think it's OK to get away with some things that otherwise they may not feel it would be OK to get away with? Or perhaps that they are a little more lax than they should be? Article eludes to that being part of the reason Diggs wanted out or had some issues? Either way sounds like we are likely going to be in for a new version of Allen this year if they are successful, and one where he may be holding others more accountable. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/7/27/24206901/terry-pegula-urging-qb-josh-allen-to-be-a-new-kind-of-leader-for-buffalo-bills-in-2024

Joe Marino explores the question in yesterday's episode: Cliffs notes version: arguably he probably is, but definitely in the next year or 2. Some other good Josh Allen nuggets in the 2nd half of the episode
