Nice win for the Bills last night.

I had to try and sleep after the game .....

I wouldn’t call it another josh Allen comeback. McDermott didn’t even trust the offense all night.

At half 2 minutes to go 3 timeouts. We run the clock out.

2nd half. We get close to the goal line and have 3 straight runs for a fg

Scored a td the next drive

Then ran it after that for little to no yards.

But sure. Call it what ever you want.

Hmmmm.
From The Athletic
there’s the Ryan Getzlaf question. He’s 34 and comes with a massive cap hit north of $8 million. But there’s only one more season after this one left on that deal, he’s playing well this year, and with some retained salary he’s the sort of player who’d be awfully attractive to a contender with a hole in the top six.


Interesting.
I'd do it in a heart beat. Perfect stop gap for 1-1/2 seasons.
Not sure how they would make the cap work though.
Bogo, Sheary and 2020 2nd, +?

Would prolly have to have heavy retention and they'd want more futures, less guys that currently suck. My guess would be pick one of those (would have to be Bogo), make the cap work, a 2nd and a top prospect (Samuelsson, Johnson, forward prospect not named Cozens) and maybe something else?

He's got 25 points and isn't garbage in his own end

He would be an ideal stop gap if they would eat some salary but he has a full NMC and I would doubt he would waive to come here

I hope he finds his mojo in Rochester. This will be good for him wether or not he realizes it yet.

it’s not trolling when it’s true. The defense won the game for the buffalo bills last night. Even josh Allen said post game on nbc that they sucked / struggled

We need more out of Allen to be a consistent winner. You don’t get rid of tyrod(who is the ultimate game manager) to Allen and hope Allen is a game manager too.

You need Allen to be good to great. Not average.

So saying we need more out of Allen isn’t a bad thing

He's not a finished product by any stretch, the Bills are bringing him along slowly, almost like what Pittsburgh did with Big Ben.

Yeah I would have liked more out of the offense last night as well, who wouldn't?

But the kid is a gamer, he doesn't quit, he doesn't sulk when he has countless drops (Brown turtled on one, and Beasley dropped 2 and one lead to the pick)

What does he do? He goes back to them right away.

The IT factor Allen has, he just needs some more polish to his game and a WR that can be that true #1 guy.

The Buffalo Bill's won

Keep on criticizing Allen. Kid's a stud.

You're on an island all alone.

How much better is he supposed to be?
22 starts?

I imagine there is more growth out of a 2nd year guy.
When allen puts it all together, you can say,

"I never said Allen wasn't good, he just needed to give more"

My team is 10-4 and the qb is not "average".

On the road in Pittsburgh- you're a troll

Allen needs to improve, no doubt about it. Yet, he is still young and is showing signs of growth. He hasn't plateaued IMO. He still needs to work on his accuracy, AND process the game faster to get the ball out quicker.
Another offseasons of work should help him quite a bit.

Having receivers who actually can consistently catch the ball would be great...Beasley targeted 6 times, 1 catch...WTF!?

I just watched the highlights, Shaq Lawson is figuring it out, on Phillips 2 sacks it was all because of Shaq

Cut him after the season and it's only a $1.75 million dead cap hit
