Virgil Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I've recently taken a job where I'm more of a 9-5 and can listen to the Bills Radio on my way into work. Today was the first time I did it and was really looking forward to it. I have to say, it was terrible. For 40 straight minutes, the only thing they talked about was Allen's fumbles and Daboll calling so many QB runs. Not the 300+ yards, not a dominating defense, not being 1-0, not any of the other many positives. The worst part was, the fans were mostly responsible. Every called, minus one who talked about preseason games not being missed, wanted to talk about the fumbles and how much they COULD have affected the game. Are we so beaten and broken that we can't appreciate all of the positive steps forward this team has taken and the position we are in this season? If I didn't know any better, you'd think we won or lost in a squeaker. I hope today was a microcosm of that show, but c'mon... 17 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark3 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 There is a small percentage of fans that disliked Allen before he was drafted, purely because some media pundits labeled him bad. And they can’t let that go. thank god we have Allen over Darnold, mayfield, or Rosen... 12 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeAndy Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 WRG is really bad. Like REALLY. i recommend the daily podcasts on the Bills App or wait for Sal on the radio. WRG are just a bunch of shock jocks, but fans tune in and eat their crap up so there is no reason for WRG to change anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we heard around here last year was how 300 yard games were meaningless and usually only happen with bad teams who have to throw the ball in desperation to get back into a game, now it means eliteness because Allen finally did it. The defence played great yesterday but was it because they were dominate or was it because the Jets offence was just bad, all everyone was talking about around here is how bad the Jets offensive weapons are around Darnold? had the jets been able to do anything with the ball, those 2 fumbles could have been huge to swing the game. Maybe some people aren't out planning the SB parade just yet because it was only one game against a bad team and there are still things the bills will need to work on if they want to be considered a true contender and not be 'one and done' in the playoffs again. This team still seems to be similar to last year where they don't want to put a game away by driving up a score. They were up 21-3 at half time then were outscored 14-6 the rest of the game as it appeared they put the brakes on the offence. i don't know anyone that is truly pissed off about yesterday, but some aren't as excited and ready to declare the team being in elite status and a SB favorite just yet And those kinds of calls are typical of just about any sports talk show outside of maybe a handful of teams where they are used to dominating (Like the Pats or Yankees/Redsox) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Its amazing with 2 red zone turnovers and 2 missed FGs we still scored 27. This team is different than our 2019 version.

So what if the team won, the Jets were never really in it, Allen had a 300+ yard game with a 70%+ completion rate, 2 passing TDs and a running TD? Dontchya know he had two fumbles and missed some passes? I swear people simply like being miserable and complaining. Enjoy the good games people. It wasn't that long ago Bills fans had a reason to complain. Yesterday was not that day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I listened on the app and they mentioned 300 yards, a lot of the good and did talk a lot about the fumbles and play calls. I think a lot tend to focus on "what could be improved" vs what they think is "the negative". Personally I did not understand all the called Josh Allen runs and lack there of to the RBs. I know once they did use the RB's it did not go well but the fear is Allen getting injured, that would be devastating. Ultimatley we want Allen to be more a pocket passer than a QB who also runs like an RB. Using his athleticism is fine but taking big hits should be minimized down the road. Just my opinion.

CA OC Bills Fan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I just moved back from CA yesterday, working outside of Syracuse (Skaneateles Falls) and for now living with my father in Rochester until I find a place. Any good radio to listen to about the Bills in those markets? This morning, I listened to Sirius XM NFL mostly from 6 AM to 9 and never heard the Bills mentioned (probably they did sometime when I had to have the radio off). I missed Schein's monolog unfortunately, I'm sure he had a lot to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the least bit "pissed off," but I'm not going to drink the kool-aid quite yet. It was a nice win though.

While I'm not in that picture (although body-size-wise, I would have fit right in), I was at home on that draft night and screamed the loudest profanity you've ever heard when they said "Allen" after "Josh." However, he was our QB and I was now determined to give him a chance. He genuinely won me over very quickly, and there were a few tidbits I'd missed about him that helped me form a different picture than my initial view -- essentially, I started to realize he was more than just a shiny, strong arm, but he seemed clearly a born leader and a quick learner. Since then, he's been exciting to watch and his growth seems pretty obvious. It's not that there still aren't glaring holes in his game and he could still slide back, but his promise to be a top QB in the league is still on track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
