Fan Reaction to the Allen Pick in the New Era Field House


Recommended Posts

I’m going to sound like a condescending ***hole here but I’m going to say it anyways. 95% of the people in that Field House haven’t seen these guys play. WNY doesn’t follow college football and doesn’t really know the game. They formulated their opinions over the last handful of months based on Schopp and the Bulldog, Jeremy White, Mel Kiper, etc...It is different around here when someone like Gunner is upset. He has studied these guys inside and out and formed an opinion. Bandit did the same and had a different take. Those people whining in the Fieldhouse over the Bills taking 1 guy that they have never seen over another guy that they have never seen pisses me off. The 5 minutes of YouTube highlights that they watched don’t classify them as knowledgeable!! Sorry for the rant and thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

And if they don't pretend to like it, then what? Banned from the stadium? Can't renew season tickets? Are they kicked out of the Draft Day event? 

Yeah, something like that :D

So one guy yells WHYYY and you think it deserves a thread? Makes me really want Allen to succeed just to see you humbled. 

 

It wasn't just one guy. That was a pretty muted reaction. I wss surprised, I thought it was going to be a video of people cheering regardless.

I was at a downtown BUF establishment and I'd say the reaction was the same. I'm guilty of this: I facepalmed and groaned in agony when the Commish said ...Allen. I'll admit , I only watched him play in two games and I wasn't impressed. Maybe I just saw two of his worst games, I don't know. After years of disappointment I wanted to see the FO make the safer pick here.

No they have. It's not hard to YouTube it. But I guess you're probably smarter than everyone else.

I don't know which of the QBs drafted will make it or not, but this video gives me a great deal of confidence that Allen has a good shot. 

 

If the idiots agree it's bad then it's probably good.

This is the way I’ve started to feel...makes me more and more confident in the pick

I wanted to see them pick a guy who has innately demonstrated the critical traits of throwing with timing, anticipation, accuracy, and touch that are predictors of success at the NFL level.

Please show me where I’ve proclaimed that he is going to be good...ill wait for your response. I’m saying there should be no overreaction either way.

 

So you're saying there shall be no reaction.

 

Thanks God.

It’s hard to get excited about any QB as a Bills fans.

 

Rich prick, entitled, upset, this has been the vibe I have been getting from this kid for the past two weeks, Mr. tough guy with the fakest smile - Zolak on Rosen lol 

 

Frying him.

You know what I was saying. Your reaction to the second post proves that. You think you're smarter than the other lowly fans.

I'm sure that of the 'Big Four' (Darnold, Mayfield, Rosen, & Allen), Allen wouldn't have been the first choice of "most" Bills fans...but whether the Bills had chosen Allen or any of the other three, there would have been a segment of the fan base that was going to be pissed at the selection regardless. That's the nature of today's hot take interwebs. I, for one, admit to being crestfallen when they chose Allen over Rosen but I quickly moved on and hope that the organization got the right guy. As fans, that's all we can do whether or not we agree with the team's choices. Go Josh Allen and GO BILLS!!!
