SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 https://www.forbes.com/sites/curtisrush/2020/01/03/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-faces-biggest-test-of-young-nfl-career/ And this season isn’t the easiest to rate Allen. On occasion (against Dallas), he has been very good. But he’s also been ordinary (against Pittsburgh) and very bad (against New England in September). But overall, Allen improved over his rookie campaign in most of the key categories: He improved his completion percentage, threw more touchdown passes per attempt, threw fewer interceptions per attempt, and threw more passing yards per game. The percentage of time when he was sacked while attempting to throw also went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooooool. Schopp only cares about football as it relates to fantasy. That is all he understands. Not much for fantasy geeks to get excited about in this game, so lack of interest on his part. Bulldog apes whatever Schopp says. I cannot listen to them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm insanely back & forth on this game. Changes every 5 minutes. I watched the replay of the Saints/Texans on NFL last night. Texans should have won that game, and looked absolutely amazing. Watson is like Allen w/ the 4th quarter gene. Then, I remember that they only scored 7 in their playoff loss last year. But, they beat the Patriots this year - something the Bills cannot do. Is it 4:30 yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not. I wonder how invested Houston is in the Texans? A lot of folks must have stopped caring when the Oilers left. 3 hours ago, SCBills said: Schopp and the Bulldog starting out their show by talking about how much they apparently don't care about this game.....

Houston is such a streaky team. Watson is a gamer. Nobody beats Saban that isn’t a gamer. I think Deshaun is going to have a solid game. The offense will need to score 25+. Bills can’t let JJ make some play early which Houston takes as some kind of sign. I don’t think JJ is fully healthy but if he gets a sack or makes some play his presence will take on a bigger meaning. McDermott and Daboll have to play aggressive. Watson can score quick. Being up in the 3rd quarter doesn’t mean anything. Bills need a game like Dallas. Edited January 4, 2020 by atlbillsfan1975 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 4:30 yet? how fluky do we call the first 2-3 games of every year? i consider that the teams figuring their identity out and the Saints just needed 1 point more to win, heck, the bengals lost to the Seahawks by 1 point week 1, how did that map out the rest of the year for both those teams? Texans beating up on the Pats* was a prime time to do so, plus, the Pats* don't know the Texans as well as they know the Bills regardless of how brilliant BB is, also add into the fact they were loose and not as uptight as the Bills are whenever they play the Pats, there's an AFCE mystique for the Bills when playing the Pats*. for me, this is more about the Defense as it is about Allen, 2019 'average' Allen can play this game and win, we need the 2019 'average' D to show up and i'm confident we'll walk away victorious.

billybob71 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Taking family to Sabres game and then headed to Pearl Street to watch game, couldnt get a reservation (for 5) at 716 but was able to get a table at Pearl.

Soho or Bada Bing, both on Chippewa, aren’t too far and both offer dining/drinks and plenty of viewing space.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 One thing I don’t want to see on Saturday is a lot of Josh Allen QB sneaks. Those Tom Brady-like sneaks are always so much harder for us. While it’s been cool to see JA to do these heroic dives (like in the Cowboys and Pats game), it seems like we just aren’t getting much push on those sneaks.

Yeah, I doubt that I'll be getting much sleep tonight. Watched "Playoff Caliber" tonight, for the umpteenth time.....every time I watch it, without fail, I get choked up. It's such a well done video. So many awesome moments: 1. The reaction of Tre, Poyer and Hyde when KW scored, and KW then getting mobbed on the sideline 2. KW's pre-game speeches 3. The fan reactions to the end of the Cincinnati/Baltimore game - I'm sure so many of us had similar reactions 4. The locker room reaction - seeing KW have that moment with his boys was incredible 5. Prior Aviation reactions 6. McDermott - dude just GETS IT. He's a true leader of men, It's clear to me that the bond between the Bills, WNY and Bills fans is truly unique.

Blank Stare Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 13 minutes ago, wppete said: they are both goofy Agreed. But, I’m probably in the minority around these parts and actually enjoy Cris Collinsworth. I don’t know if it’s his affiliation with PFF or some sort of perceived bias, but people give him a hard time around here. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed his insights. Even back to his Inside the NFL days on HBO. Used to love catching that show in the 90s after a Bills win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter because when the Texans play well it’s actually when they throw to the TE and when they let Watson play RPO like they are the Ravens offense. Let’s see if OBrien is smart enough to see what helped him win against KC. I hope he isn’t. 10 hours ago, Negan said: Anyone know what uniforms Bills are wearing tomorrow?
