Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Both pleased and "eh" on this. Wish Allen had fewer distractions and could just focus un-hindered on his game day prep and handling his personal business. Hopefully he is better able to cope than last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need all hands on deck AND full go in our secondary What will it take to be able to put our 5 best OLinemen out there at the same time??? I’d like to know what we could really look like at this point with our full offense, including John Brown. I know injuries are part of the game, and the bye week is coming, but I’m unsure of what we could really be as an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I’m not the biggest fan of the media with athletes... but I’m not too bent out of shape about it. Players have specific media obligations they have to fulfill throughout the course of the season. I highly doubt he’s doing excess media work... this is probably just in line with what he’s required to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Anyone want to fact check this guy over at arizonasportsfans.com I honestly want to create an account just to point out that AZ was the team the bills traded with to get Allen a year before Murray was even drafted. https://www.arizonasportsfans.com/forum/threads/looking-ahead-to-buffalo.376255/page-7 Actually, SK did take KM over both LJ and JA. We passed on LJ when we took Rosen, passed on JA when we took KM. Now, those decisions will be something to chew on as the careers of the three play out.

I'll be honest with you, I'm kinda impressed by the level of conversation there. Are there some homers there? Of course, but after spending a lot of time reading forums over the years dedicated to the Dolphins, Pats, Jets, and Steelers.......the Arizona page seems to have some pretty level-headed, well thought out posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, it's more the likely focus on his grandma and his feels and all that, rummaging through his emotions. Feel like the man should be left in peace to grieve and process his feelings with his family and friends and teammates as best he can while full-bore preparing for a game, and not have the press poking into it every 5 minutes. It's kind of our fault I guess (BillsMafia) raising $400k unsolicited in nothing flat is pretty big news.

Penfield45 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 3 weeks ago if you told me we’d go into the bye 7-3 with wins over Patriots and Seattle I’d said the division title would be all but wrapped up now with Miami 1 game behind if we lose and the dolphins win I can for certain see the week 17 game come down for the division win.

Josh is a pretty mature young man who seems to learn through experience. Dealing with a loss stinks whether it is trivial like a game or significant like a loved one. I know you know that, and we’d all like Josh to be allowed to grieve in whatever way he prefers. He may even be ok talking about it, for some that helps the healing.

I guess one thing in his favor is that he seems to have a lot of mature teammates around him that he's close to who can help him handle all the hype now surrounding his personal loss and I believe the Bills have some sport psychology hires who can also help him if he reaches out. 5 minutes ago, Comebackkid said: Everything I've seen from Kim Jones has impressed me.

Wait, “if you can even call them a good team”? Up until we ran them out of our building, they were the #1 seed in the NFC. Who, exactly, do we need to beat to be “proven”? Is it Tennessee, who lost to Cincinnati and the Colts? Maybe KC, who lost to the Raiders at home (a team Buffalo beat on the road)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua with only 2 games still has much to prove. the defense won the Rams game hands down. imo As you watch this generation of college players restock NFL teams, I am struck by two thoughts: 1. It used to be that college QBs had to normalize their play to the NFL style of QBing. Now it seems the NFL is normalizing their play to college QBing with players like Jackson, Allen, Mahomes, Tua, Herbert and Burrows and comers like Lawrence, Fields, etc. 2. There is no prototypical QB anymore. Lots of different styles are emerging, but one thing they all seem to have in common is mobility. When you watched Rivers and Brady play, they are as immobile as Marino used to be. As a defense, you knew where you needed to get to. Now QBs are running all over behind the line of scrimmage and you never quite no where they will end up.

SCBills Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Feels like Seattle and Arizona switched places and we’re facing the league MVP and SB favorite this week by the way the media is talking. Even on the scroll for “Sit ‘Em” Bills Defense comes in at Number 2. Cole Beasley on that list as well. I hear analysts say “well, sure, Buffalo stopped RW, but KM is a whole different story”..... ehhh, ok.... Kyler is good, for sure, but somehow Wilson and Seattle became a middle of the pack team this week after losing to us, but Arizona is lethal with the best QB in the NFL after losing to Miami. Meanwhile, the other narrative is that “Buffalo can’t be trusted yet”.... which I’m ok with... I think beating AZ would finally squash that if we come away with the W.

Part of it is to build hype for the game. AZ-BUF has NEVER been the game of the week. And yet this week it is. Murray played extremely well against the number 1 defense in the league. AZ has two good wins, Week 1 against a full 9ers team and Week 8 against the Hawks. They also have a very scary WR corp and a very elusive runner in QB. This game is going to be fun to watch. I also believe the narrative would be different if Buffalo was at home and Cards were the road team. Edited November 13, 2020 by wjag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think beating AZ would finally squash that if we come away with the W. its been two weeks in a row now that any analysis of Bills vs (insert team name here) has basically just been all talk about the opposing team and how theres slim to no chance we stop their qb. You honestly wouldnt have known there was a team even playing the seahawks last week judging by the lead up to that game. it was a wilson/metcalf crowning party. Just like this week if you werent a bills fan you would never guess theres a good young qb opposite of Murray that the cardinals need to prove they can stop. almost every single preview of the game i've seen is just everyone giving Murray a knob job and it ends with "oh, and they are playing the bills i guess". its honestly so odd to me. its not like we just burst onto the scene. we're on our way to our 3rd playoff in 4 years and the team owns more wins over winning teams this year than any other team in the league. they are 7-2 with QUALITY wins and their only 2 losses are against teams with a combined record of 14-4.
