It's only been 4 weeks, can recall Trent Edwards looking amazing for about a 5 week span too that one year.  Then he hit his head and everything fell apart.  Admittedly there's been more year to year improvement with Allen than we ever saw from Edwards.  Certainly if Allen keeps this up all year, he likely becomes the best QB from the class  of 2018.  Though Mayfield is looking pretty good right now too.

Yeah - I'm getting old too and my memory's not so hot all the time, but WOW.

It will s amazing what a winning record will do to perceptions.  
 

People LOVED Tyrod because the “got the Bills” to the playoffs. 
 

Tyrod has been subsequently replaced by 2 ROOKIES.  

So LJ is Tuhrod? Ok 👌 just FYI Tuhrod wouldn't even run it most the time.  You quoted what I said twice now in a row... I am getting you just hate LJ.

Allen owns a perfect 158.3 passer rating on deep balls, his 154.4 rating in the fourth quarter of one-score games ranks No. 1 in the AFC, his 146.6 third-down rating ranks second in the NFL, and he's thrown nine touchdown passes to zero interceptions in the red zone.

 

Reading this made it move.

Mayfield hasn’t looked that great. He’s pretty much being asked to be just a game manager since the Browns running game is so effective.

True but at least the Browns are winning.  Mayfield Allen and Jackson are the only three from that QB class that are having much of any success. Rosen and Rudolph are pretty much busts and Darnold is on very shaky ground.  He likely gets one more shot with a new coach to turn things around before he goes to the bust pile too.

 WTH is Rudolph?

Well it looks like the Raiders were the threat lol.  Good game plan against the Chiefs .

Lol.

Divisional Games no matter how much one team is better than the other I find can be closer if not upsets.

 

These teams are just more familiar with each other.


I guess I always think about how Miami seemingly seems to beat the Patriots in Miami ever 1-2 seasons during the Dynasty.

 

I mean how many close loses did Buffalo have against Brady?  Yes there were a lot of blowouts but there were also many fourth-quarter decision games.

 

Raiders winning today will be their first win in 8 seasons.  So due.

Chiefs have not looked that strong this year

It’s October.  Where were they last October?

 

4-0 averaging 29 points per game...and then lost to Indy 13-19 in Kansas and went 4-1.

 

where are they in 2020

 

4-0 averaging 29 points per game...and then lost to Raiders 32-40 in Kansas and went 4-1.


it’s definitely getting lost based on how Kansas ended the season but they were 6-4 in 2019, Mahomes was almost lost for season and they were NOT the talk of the NFL in 2019.  They literally flew into the playoffs under the radar if that’s even possible based on what Jackson and the ravens were doing.

Struggled w Chargers against rookie QB’s first start

 

Struggled against Patriots with Hoyer and Stidham

 

only really looked convincing against Baltimore imo

The argument in favor of the Bills rests on the faulty assumption that their defense is as good as it was the past couple of years.  For some reason (no Star?) it just isn't as good this year.  I think the improvement in the Bills offense is much greater than the problems in their defense, so overall they're a much better team, but in order to take down the Chiefs, the Bills will need to slow down Mahomes, and only Belichick seems to be able to do that.

Don't get stuck in the past.  The hard part is the Cheifs figuring out how to slow down our Offense.  We are the #1 offense in the AFC not KC.

Rudolph is not a star but I wouldn't call him a bust.

62.2% 1765yds 13tds and 9ints.  Not bad numbers for a backup and 3rd round pick that actually had to start games.

One week for the big matchup

 

 

https://www.tmz.com/2020/10/12/patrick-mahomes-josh-allen-chiefs-bills-83-yards/

 

Mahomes appeared on "KCSP 610 Sports Radio" this week, he threw out a number ... saying he strongly believes he can hit 83 yards in the air!!!
 

 

"I've never seen Josh throw a football but I know how far I can throw it … but I know it's pretty far."

"I think I can get it anywhere from 80 to 83 yards," Mahomes added.

 

DONT throw your arm out kid

Did he say the Bills have a good success rate on runs? That... doesn't seem right.

 

I also think it's strange that people don't mention that the Bills already faced (and lost to) the Chiefs earlier in the season, albeit in the bad weather game. You'd think that would have analysts shy away from takes like this.

 

But with a rematch I actually like the Bills chances. They have a lot of good things going for them now. They are more healthy now (knock on wood), the defense has figured some things out, and every game has given Allen more experience and confidence.

Poppinga: Josh Allen, Bills are Chiefs’ biggest threat in AFC

Josh Allen is “playing out of his mind,” Brady Poppinga says, and the Bills – not the Steelers – have the best chance of beating the Chiefs in the AFC.  
 

The biggest [threat to the Chiefs] right now are the Buffalo Bills, and that’s because they can defend, they can rush the passer, and Josh Allen is playing out of his mind,” Poppinga said on Reiter Than You. “He’s a guy that when he came out of college looked like he was going to be terrible. Couldn’t throw the ball accurately, didn’t demand much respect from his teammates, he didn’t win in college – all things that, when you’re checking the box off of a guy that you want to lead your franchise to a championship, not good. But he has completely defied the odds, he’s an anomaly, [and] they have a strong running game.”

Buffalo Bills. 
 

Why it could be them

Quarterback Josh Allen's breakout third season with new top weapon Stefon Diggs has pushed the Buffalo Bills from good to great, if not special.

 

Allen owns a perfect 158.3 passer rating on deep balls, his 154.4 rating in the fourth quarter of one-score games ranks No. 1 in the AFC, his 146.6 third-down rating ranks second in the NFL, and he's thrown nine touchdown passes to zero interceptions in the red zone.

What more can you ask?

..... 

It's also difficult to find a weak spot. Allen is becoming a star,

Those numbers are no joke!

 

I hope we as bills fans appreciate what we’re seeing. It’s pretty special.

 they should 

 

yet.... we see complaint after complaint for one thing or another 

 

I can finally after 2 decades enjoy the games with a hope that Josh can pull off another 4th QTR Comeback 


even Pete Schrags at gmfb has bought into the Bills and called for the Bills to win Sunday’s game

I doubt those are still his numbers, although they are very good I am sure. That article was from early October.

true this thread was started in October 

 

but his #s are still very good 

 

Based on last year’s stats 

Overall, Allen had a 24.1 completion percent, 8.7 yards per attempt and 64.4 passer rating on deep passes last year.

 

it’s a HUGE jump

Yes, I’m sure his numbers have settled down. That said, it’s still special.
