I'm treating this game as if it were the wild card round and we're on the road at Miami. They're at home but have key injuries and are beatable. If we can't take advantage of that and win, then we probably couldn't win at Baltimore, much less make it to and win the Super Bowl. No matter if the Jags lose tomorrow and assure us a playoff spot, just win the game tomorrow night. It IS the playoffs for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I know this clip is from the Bills first Division title, but its a perfect hype video for why the Bills need to win this game.

Yeah that turnover narrative is pretty lame since he accounts for so many scores and usually doesn't turn over the football late in games.

He had more than a good enough roster in 2021. The inconsistencies of this team year to year is infuriating.

ShakAttack Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 57 minutes ago, beebe said: discussed by the media? who...frickin...cares. I can’t speak for us fans in TBD, but whenever players say they don’t pay attention to what the media says, I generally don’t buy it. Because if that were the case, why do so many players love to play the disrespect card? I.e. “everyone wrote us off after week 1 vs jets” forgot who said that recently but it was one of our defenders, and whether or not that was true in the first place, the mere fact that is one of their first reactions is an indication to me that yes, they do care. And I’ll bet THEY care more than we do but I say if it makes them play better I am all for it. in fact, have them watch nothing but Nick Wright clips before the game. That’s what I’d do.

Josh is the hero of Buffalo and he's earned that Legacy. And as Julian said we could very well stay hot and run the table. But as is expected by most Bills fans like myself who have experienced countless heartbreak, I'm hoping for the best outcome but preparing for the worst. I just wish I had more faith in our coaches and lack of wr firepower. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, 78thealltimegreat said: Yes let’s blame Josh Allen for leaving the field with the lead in 4 of the Bills 6 losses. It was only 3 of 6 losses. Jets, Jags & Bengals he didn't walk off the field with a lead , but yeah... he definitely deserves a lot of the blame for the other 3 losses too. Patriots: 1 INT / 1 Fumble - losing the entire game until 1:58 left in the 4th (at the time, they were considered the worst team in the league) Broncos: 2 INTs / 1 Fumble - losing the entire game until 1:55 left in the 4th Eagles: He did great overall, so he doesn't deserve much blame for this loss. The INT really hurt, but he did played about as well as you could hope otherwise But regarding the OP's point, this is the narrative around Allen. I get downvoted like crazy any time I bring it up, but you can't go anywhere online talking about Allen without a chorus of people telling you he's a turnover machine that chokes in big moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 The point of the post is to say how huge this game is for Allen’s legacy (assuming the Jags win today). If they win there’s a very legit chance Buffalo will be in the AFC Championship game. If they lose, bye bye or maybe 6th seed, and i personally don’t think they are going far as a 6. Allen and McDermott to an extent will be talked about very differently in the days/months/years to come based on this one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose, and he’s discussed as a guy that scores TDs and turns the ball over too much, flames out late in the season. Allen doesn't have to "rewrite the narrative of his career" all he has to do is add to it. That narrative is already partially written and it includes: * The first elite Bills QB since Jim Kelly. * The QB that ended the Bills sentence to football purgatory with a bang leading them to 5 straight 10 win or more seasons; 4 straight playoff appearances; 3 straight division titles and a trip to the conference championship. * The QB that led the Bills to their 1st playoff win in 25 years. * The QB that had arguably 2 of the best back to back playoff performances in NFL history. * The QB that has already broke numerous NFL records including most TD's through their first 6 years and the only NFL QB to total 40 or more TD's in 4 straight seasons. * Arguably the most physically gifted QB in NFL history. And for you negative Nancy's: * An at times an overly aggressive QB who is prone to TO's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get downvoted like crazy any time I bring it up, but you can't go anywhere online talking about Allen without a chorus of people telling you he's a turnover machine that chokes in big moments. Who cares what anonymous online posters have to say about Allen. Hell I don't care what the NFL talking heads have to say about Allen I care even less about what morons on other message boards think. And yes anyone who says Allen "chokes" or is a "TO machine in big moments" is a moron. Can we all agree that playoff games are "big moments" and do these stats from his 8 playoff games look like "choking" to any reasonable person? Passing: 2334 yards; 64% completion; 17 TD's; 4 INT's; rating = 99.6 Rushing: 417 yards; 6.6 yards per carry; 3 TD's; 1 lost fumble Receiving: 1 catch; 16 yards; 1 TD Total yards = 2767; 346 yards/game; 21 TD's & 5 TO's. As for regular season "big moments", if your QB is choking in these games you don't have 5 straight 10 or more win seasons, 4 straight playoff trips; & 3 straight division titles with more to hopefully come tonight. This narrative about Allen is wrong. Period end of sentence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
