Mahomes is at the same race and nobody says a freaking thing. Josh is there and he gets criticized for modeling? For not being all in? That is pathetic. First line of my response was “I have no issue with Allen attending events” Secondly, I don’t think I know more than other people. I read/listen the available media and make a judgement. If it’s all a black box and we don’t know, that’s fine, but at the end of the day it’s wins and losses and when you lose you dig around for what happened. For me it’s not enough to go oh-well, we’ll get them next year, that’s all. Nothing would progress in the world took that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern_Bills Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 When it starts effecting his play on the field I'll begin to care. Let him be, it's not like hes been arrested. Burnout is real, when camp starts I'm sure his modeling career will end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely things that Allen can work on to improve his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It I'd indeed his life and he's has every right to enjoy his free time. If his popularity gives him some extra exposure that in turn allows him to make a lil extra cash or free merchsndise modeling then that's less money he will demand when new contracts are due. In fact it's a smart move always generating positive press for the NFL in offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, because he said he’s all in this year. Oh but I get it now. If you hear a Chris Simms video with a guy that we should take as Gospel but if Josh says he’s all in that we should question because he showed up at a horse race. Am I there watching him every day? No, but the difference is I don’t pretend that I am nor that other guys are more invested than he is as if I have some inside info.

Or no one bothered wasting film to take a picture of. Not only do we have a top 3 QB, but the dude is very handsome , a pleasant personality and goofy as heck. Oh what are we going to do? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right or wrong, volunteering a "negative" thought. There was no courage in making the ridiculous charge that "Allen has lost his edge", whatever the hell "edge" is. It's just another in a long line of cheap passive aggressive shots that the Bills QB takes on 2BD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 We just need him to make a video with a reality star. He will gain significant respect around the world because we all know why and we would all watch it....don't lie that you wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: And people like you feel entitled to police everyone. That's the key difference here. From 2006-2017 there was a large segment of Bills fans who commented on the shoddy nature of the organization, and the same "realist" verses "true-fan" debates erupted. And ultimately, the "negative realist" fans were right. That iteration of the Bills was never going to win, Brandon, Nix, Whaley, Levy running the show. So while the organization is clearly NFL caliber now, the Super Bowl drought weighs on the fanbase. Fans are anxious to get to the final level and win. If you say something like the Dorian Williams is too small to play MIKE, and the pick should have been spent on an upside RT Dewand Jones, for instance, the eruption of Beane knows what he's doing, what are your credentials, the team was 13-3 last year rain down. My statement still stands. Applaud the guy for saying Allen lost his edge, because you'll get the typical blowback here. Except they give interviews about it. Watch Joe Burrow's with Chris Simms, or Justin Herbert's physical plan where he made the decision to add more muscle. Of course we don't attend the Jordan Palmer Passing Camp, but some information on this does come out. So your nit picks of Allen and the Bills are okay but these are not legit points to make in response - "the eruption of Beane knows what he's doing, what are your credentials, the team was 13-3 last year rain down"?

teef Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 i personally think there's a big difference between losing your edge and having a down year. i don't think allen has lost his edge at all. everything was a bit off last season, so i don't think it's absurd to think they can turn it all around. it's the same people panicking over nothing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, he makes commercials for Gillette and not Edge. I don't use any shaving cream. I only electric shave and that does not require cream. But when I did shave with a razor, I used Edge. I preferred the bottle. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
