whatdrought Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Maybe im a homer, but for two years I have been annoyed by media falling all over Darnold while hating on Allen. If Darnold sucked, it was his surrounding cast taking the blame. If Allen did something wrong it was “well we knew he was inconsistent coming out.” Well now Darnold is done and Allen is a bonafide star, so you would think the positive energy would go towards Allen... right? But so far, after yesterday, here’s what I’m seeing: ”Seattle’s defense is so bad and really allowed Allen to work.” ”My god!! Did you see Tua? That was ***** amazing!” am I imagining this? 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua is playing OK, nothing special at all. However he's played 2 games, we'll see how he is for the long haul. As of now, it's still way too early to tell. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Absolutely agree with you. Listening to SiriusXM radio this morning and they covered Tua and the Dolphins before covering Allen and the Bills. Tua had a pedestrian first game and a decent second game. Needs to keep it up the rest of the season for me to anoint him a competent QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 why can't you guys just enjoy the game? That game was great to watch and both QBs made a lot of plays 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Tua could have gone first overall if not for his injury, he warrants the hype. Darnold was very good early on, he deserved the hype. It's expected, not a big deal. Seattles defense is awful, that's why Dabol basically threw every down until about the 4th qtr. None of this should take away from Allen and the Bills and I don't think it does. Bills got some great praise last night on the broadcasts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think Tua will be good, but watching national media lose their minds because he threw for 250 yards in a game where they won due to a kicker missing a 49 yard FG short is a little ridiculous. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 8 minutes ago, whatdrought said: am I imagining this? Nope. I believe it has a lot to do with Buffalo having been irrelevant so long. So many didn’t care for so long (with good reason) that it’s hard to shake. Fortunately, the Bills will force them to take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Tua, looks good, and Flores is taking it slow, as he should, but let's not get crazy. AZ is not a top tier defense, let's see how he does against teams that can defend the pass. Allen, on the other hand excels at passing. In spite of McD's tendencies, they had a great game plan yesterday. Our strength Vs. their weakness.. Seems dumb to write that outm but the same plan should be for next week with a few wrinkles.

I watched that game yesterday. Tua played well. He made one TD throw that was really, really good. Team will get some film on him and will start game planning for him. Meanwhile, the Miami D has been getting TDs from the D. Should be interesting to watch. I didn't want him to be the real deal, after all, I discount (bias) all Alabama players automatically when you come from a team that consistently gets the best players.

whatdrought Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Also, don’t get me wrong- I’m not saying Tua played poorly. He could be a hall of famer for all I know- too early to say. i guess my overall point is this: The media has QB’s they love, regardless of how they play, and QB’s they are apathetic about, regardless of how they play. They loved Rosen pre-draft. They loved Darnold and still refuse to take the L on that. Edited November 9, 2020 by whatdrought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It’s expected. Which media markets does the nfl care more about - Miami, New York City or Buffalo? Id rather we stay under the radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Keep the same aggressive game plan against Tua like you did with Wilson. If Wilson makes mistakes, certainly Tua will make mistakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the score and then looked at the box and wondered how they had long drives, and 24 first downs, when they only had 312 yards. Seems like it was probably a strange game. In any case, they won - and their defense is still scoring. They made a 59 yard FG at half, and arizona missed the game tying FG. Sometimes you need a bit of luck *Cough* ryan succop *cough*. I think their inability to run the ball will harm them moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay attention to the media. I don't care what they say or don't say about the Bills. I watch football all day and play fantasy as well. I just like watching the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
