Is watching the Bills fun for you these days?

I feel like it’s becoming more and more rare than I enjoy watching a Bills game.

 

Maybe it’s the impending doom feeling that we have a unicorn QB and still find a way to mess it up.

 

Its the whole history of the team, the coach, the GM…

 

When they win, I feel relieved. When they lose, I feel devastated.

 

Any tips? What do you all do to disengage and try to actually enjoy this?

No.  It’s actually a weird feeling.  I just kinda laugh at them anymore.  I don’t expect them to win

Shanahan took Jimmy G to the Super Bowl ffs

Garoppolo was a good fit for the Shanahan system and looked pretty good for several years there before injuries and several years of defensive scouting did him in.

Or Shanahan is just an excellent HC

I mean Garoppolo had very efficient numbers in his time there and looked the part the first couple of seasons, too.  Shanahan obviously has some real upsides as an offensive mind but given the relative strength of conference in his time as HC of the 49ers and the overall strength of his roster most years I would view him as more of a Top 10 guy than a Top 3 guy.

He had seven pro bowl players in 2022.. multiple all pros and pro bowlers in 2023 

 

Mark rypian won a Super bowl starting.. so did Doug Williams 

 

Josh excels anyways off script what makes you think he would excel in this shanahan West Coast offense where everything is designed to be three steps in the ball is out... When Josh doesn't even play that style of football consistently 

 

That's not his style.. Josh is a five-step guy a seven step guy move around the pocket create.. everything about shanahan is literally designed 

 

They drafted a quarterback third overall who could not fit into that offense but he had a crazy arm and athleticism like Josh Allen.. was even drafted higher than Josh Allen 

 

Now I'm not saying that he should have been better.. but Kyle shanahan was said to have loved him hitched his wagon to him and Mr irrelevant ran his offense better 

 

It's not about who's more talented at quarterback it's about who is willing to run his offense which is script and makes it boring to play.. Josh is not a scripted guy

 

People would say we're holding josh back now would be saying it in shanahan's offense too.. it's very scripted and robotic

 

Everybody saying we need to get Josh out of this robotic feeling but that's exactly what Kyle shanahan does

The players don’t look to be having any fun. Maybe it’s rubbing off on fans.

Badol I've been talking to you for years

 

I am obviously frustrated... But to think the window is closed when Josh has literally 8-9-10 years the windows not over 

 

We need to stop giving big contracts to mediocre players.. and get Josh somebody could get open 

 

 John elway played 17 years before his first Super bowl win.. and he was the Golden boy the guy with the elway cross... 17 years 

 

Now I would like one this year but if we want it back to back on Josh's penultimate and last season when he was 37 and 38 that would still be the sweetest thing in the world 

 

I am starting to lose faith in the front office but that doesn't mean they can't get people in there to write the ship

 

 

 

 

 

Oh the window isn't closed on Josh Allen.

 

But the easiest years of his career to win are absolutely gone.   Literally.   Last year they were still sorta' in it with the weak division etc..  But this year they are officially past that.

 

Unless they find the rare difference making HC and GM combo to help overcome their talent deficiencies and/or find some elite talent to help offset the impending $50M cap hits for their QB........ they are probably going to have to get lucky and clank one in from the rough from here on out.
