KingBoots8 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Let’s take a journey back to that strange time of 2018, when face masks weren’t an EDC item for people, and life was simpler... to a time when a loudmouth opinionated corner got his mouth shut by a certain AFC POTW. Observe exhibit A above, which highlights the plays from the game (also- a rare Kelvin Benjamin sighting!) followed by this gem, exhibit B. Yes Jalen, everyone is allowed to have an opinion- but yours is trash. “It’s best to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt” Hope Josh circled this one on the calendar. Let’s get that W boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just to put the record straight, Ramsey's comments were NOT just about Josh Allen's high school tweets, it was about his draft position and his play at Wyoming: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25378440/did-enough-win-matters "Ramsey called Allen "trash" in an August GQ magazine piece while explaining why he thought the 2018 NFL draft was "a little off." He wondered why Lamar Jackson wasn't the second quarterback drafted if teams were so enamored with the athleticism, charisma, mobility and big-play ability of No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield. Jackson ended up being the fifth quarterback drafted in the first round last April. The New York Jets selected Sam Darnold third overall, the Bills took Allen at No. 7, and Arizona took Josh Rosen 10th. Baltimore selected Jackson with the last pick in the first round." "I think Allen is trash," Ramsey said in the GQ piece that was published Aug. 15. "I don't care what nobody say. He's trash. And it's gonna show too. That's a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this year, and I'm excited as hell. I hope he's their starting quarterback. He played at Wyoming. Every time they played a big school -- like, they played Iowa State, which is not a big school in my opinion because I went to Florida State, and he threw five interceptions, and they lost by a couple touchdowns or something like that. He never beat a big school. "If you look at his games against big schools, it was always hella interceptions, hella turnovers. It's like: 'Yo, if you're this good, why couldn't you do better?' He fits that mold, he's a big, tall quarterback. Big arm, supposedly. I don't see it, personally." Allen didn't play against Iowa State while he was at Wyoming, but he did complete only 50 percent of his passes for 427 yards and one touchdown with eight interceptions in games against Nebraska, Iowa and Oregon. Wyoming lost those three contests by a combined 92 points. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Van Noy took a little shot at Josh Allen after the Patriots game last year: https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2019/09/kyle-van-noy-on-bills-qb-josh-allen-he-didnt-know-what-we-were-doing.html "“He didn’t know what we were doing. He looked shook back there,” Van Noy said." I kinda expect a little trash may have been talked Van Noy's way after Josh knocked him down last Sunday: "Shake this" 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheElectricCompany Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Donald scares me far more than Ramsey.

Devilmann Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 As a competitive person you better believe it matters because you always want to stick those words right up his “trash”. You always want to remember so there is no way he’s going to open up his mouth again. Allen is going to test him so he has the chance to shut him up even more so Ramsey can’t say “well he never threw it my way”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBoots8 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Didn’t know some of y’all had a side gig as members of the fun police. Relax, it’s just a little levity before the game. I’m sure Josh probably doesn’t care what Jalen has to say, but let’s not pretend that throwing a few darts over his head wouldn’t be a good time for him. Knowing the kind of person Josh is, and being the leader that he is on the team, he only cares about winning. He’s spent his entire career working on getting better and shutting up his critics- Sunday won’t be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. K Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 JA is team above me as that is part of "the process." That being said, he knows what he said. Is he worried about it or thinking about it probably not. But I think about it and Josh in "my quarterback man" so I personally hope Ramsey gets slaughtered this weekend. That will be the end of it for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. Josh doesn't strike me as a vengeance over team win type of player. If he deliberately tries to go after Ramsey it'd be a mistake. If the receiver is open, great. I'm sure he'd rather take the W than an impressive stat line at Jalen's expense. Edited September 25, 2020 by billsbackto81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
