I never said he wasn't. Moving on from Fleury isn't the mistake. Making Lehner the guy for the next 5 years is.

What's your fear? A relapse? It's a year more than I would like but far better than paying huge money like several others did.

I agree with this also.

Term is the devil.

Unless it’s Jack Eichel or soon to be Rasmus Dahlin. You give them 8 years and a blank check

Someone paid vegas to take theodore to protect a lesser player. Let that sink in. I am not as scared of a rookie gm as others are. This league is littered with bad gms.

He's on his 4th team since June of '18 while being nominated for the vezina in the process. That should be setting off alarm bells. He's a wienerhead

Uncle lou wanted to sign him but they couldn't agree to term. The best team in hockey with a smart gm obviously wanted him. So did chicago.

Well Allen is a huge part of this team, he is gonna be talked about alot. Unfortunately he is the biggest ? Mark on this team. We won, Allen had a good game, but he still made some of the same mistakes that haunted him last year. I like Allen, he has that Buffalo mentality, but until those same mistakes disappear or happen less, people will always put that ? mark in front of him.

The Knights are trash for what they have done to MAF, people here are pissed.

Yeah, what even happened? I never understood why Vegas sort of turned against MAF.

"QB breakdown: Whether you love Allen's game or hate it, you can generally find plenty of examples to support your argument in any game; Sunday's performance against the Jets was no different. He turned in the first 300-yard passing game of his career, also setting career highs in attempts and completions. It was a promising effort given the moves Buffalo's front office made this offseason to improve the team's passing game. He fit the ball into tight windows, anticipated openings and showed proper touch when necessary.

He also lost two fumbles and missed a wide-open Brown in the end zone when he neglected to set his feet before throwing the ball. It's far from a hot take, but Allen remains the biggest X factor on the Bills' roster. If his few mistakes from Sunday are cleaned up and he keeps this level of play up throughout the season, we will be talking about the Bills as a realistic Super Bowl contender -- and Allen will be in the MVP conversation."

Man I really hope the Sabres make a call to Vegas, Stephenson would be a good fit here.

I used him as an example because I had heard it recently. He's nowhere near alone in his take.

Again, why would you (or anyone) give a sh!t about someone’s weekly team rankings?

Take away Allen’s run game and force him to win from the pocket.

That would be my game plan.

I was a total doubter. He gets a little better every week. I suspect that will continue.
