Kind of like you, if you ever met me face-to-face

Is this some sort of threat or intimidation?

I would like to see Allen make a few big plays.  It sucks that we can't get a real look at what Allen has talent wise because he is always under pressure but if he can make a few big plays and maybe get that completion percentage up a bit I will consider it a good day.  Say 23 for 34 or something like that.

This is exactly what I was going to submit.  This year is all about Allen learning and showing progress week-to-week.

This pretty much.  Some growth from our QB.  Defense playing like the second half last week, for the entire game.  Just put on a competitive game.  I don't expect to win.  I just want to see some drives from the offense and some stops from the defense while the game still counts.

Just looking like a professional team in all three phases. Hopefully Josh progresses a little bit, and the defense picks up where it left off in the second half last week. 

 

I’ve accepted this is a “growing pains” year. Now let’s just see some growth.

The obvious answer is Josh Allen continuing to progress. He got better as the game went along last week. It’s going to take some time to adjust to the speed of the game but today is a real test for him.

 

The same goes for Edmunds. I thought that he was one of the best players for the Bills in Week 1. I thought he was a nightmare last week. 

 

These two guys have to become stars not just good players. They are both pretty raw so progress followed by consistency is what I’m looking for this year.

1.) Most importantly, Josh Allen improving form last week and looking like he is on the way to being a star QB.  Everything else that could happen added up might not equal Allen.

 

2.)  D improvement.  In all honesty last year, they were an average, or below average D unit that happened to get a lot of turnovers (which made them better).  I want to see this D-unit generate more 3 and outs on a consistent basis.

 

3.) Some of our young players start to look like they are emerging as stars.  Kyle Williams and McCoy and Jerry Hughes are good and all, but they aren't going to be leading this team for long due to their age/injuries/deteriorating play.  I want to see some of the youngster emerge as potential stars...or at least very good starters/leaders.

 

4.)  2-3 guys on the OL emerge as possible long term starters?  That may be asking for a lot though.

Specifically , for Allen, I would like to see that he can be accurate with his ball placement.  For Edmunds, I hope to see that he learned from last week to be more effective in recognizing and defending passes over the middle as well as showing better instincts overall.

It may be that what will make me feel good at 4 PM will be leaving the TV after halftime to go do something else and get my mind off the game. I will be encouraged by any signs of future success the Bills can give me though.

Nope....my point is it’s really easy to insult me typing on a keyboard.  But you would never have the guts to insult me to my face.  Keyboard tough guy

That’s very optimistic compared to some of the things you’ve said.

Josh missed a lot of reads last week. If he improves in that regard, and I suspect he will, that would make me feel better about things. 

 

If the defense looks more like they did in the second half of last week than the first, that would be good. 

 

Really, any sort of pleasant surprise would be OK. If they just cover the spread, I'll be pleased. Is a 16 point, or less, differential too much to ask for?

This is the internet 

 

when you troll and or post weird or ridiculous stuff on message boards you better be prepared to get feedback 

 

Knowing the legend of Dunkirk Don you should be well aware 

 

If you have thin skin message boards are not the place to be.

A win so we can have normal discussion on TBD this week and not the emotional diatribes of the last two weeks; continue to rebuild and let the chips fall where they may!

 

You meant to say two “decades”???
