Can't Bills fans just enjoy a (frank)ing win ffs?

They went 10-6 last year, and despite a tough schedule, have a chance to be better this year. Who cares who Josh may be better than or not? He's (frank)ing good. Jesus Christ, let the fans enjoy it.

Sports is and always has been a meritocracy. He is now the 2nd best goaltender on his hockey team and has been paid handsomely during his time there. Any claim that he has been mistreated is nothing more than whining.

It could be a very unpopular decision if they don’t win it all. If I were the coach and my team loses tonight I wouldn’t gamble on going back to Vegas.

I enjoyed it just fine, enjoyed watching Allen do what he did, but also want to see him improve on his mistakes just makes the Team better.

I don’t understand the hate for going with the better player.

It would be a weird sentiment seeing they extended Lehner for 5 years already.

I agree. He needs to clean some things up. I think some of it is his huge heart and desire to win.

I think it’s this way. He is considered the face of the franchise and was there right from the start. Fans love him and want to win with him in the net. Is Lehner better? Maybe right now he is but that’s not enough to change the minds of the fans that have been there from day one. Would there be any difference if MAF was in the net? That is very debatable and will be the cause of a very bad separation between the knights organization and MAF.
Didn’t make sense not to run with the flower from the start imo but now we will never know.

Lehner has 4 shutouts in the playoffs and is one period away from a 5th.

MAF sucking wind was what got Gallant fired and what led to the acquisition of Lehner in the first place.

Says it all

He’s still got a little bit of a kid in him,” Diggs said after the game. “So when he’s out there, he’s out there having fun and I enjoy it. I’m always in his ear kind of like, ‘Keep that positive energy going,’ just because I can’t imagine how hard it is to play quarterback. But when I see him out there having a good time, it gives me a little bit of a push in the back and a a little bit motivation to say, you want to play for this guy. You want to go hard for this guy because he’s damn sure gonna go hard for this guy ..]

In order to win a playoff game and with a Super Bowl. You need a very very good qb.

Which our current qb isn’t there yet. Allen needs to fix a few things.

Again it’s week 1 in the books. It was basically a preseason game. So 15 more games to improve.

I agree, once he learns to control getting to excited, he is going to be a monster out there.

Nick Foles couldn’t even beat out Mitch Trubisky this year.

Peyton Manning was a shell of his former self in 2015.

Big Ben and Brady were not elite but in their first super bowl wins, far from it.

Jared Goff and Jimmy Goroppolo didn’t win the super bowl but came relatively close.

Does it help having an elite QB ? Absolutely.

The Bills can win with Josh Tebow/Newton but he can’t continue to turn the ball over.

Allen was more poised in the pocket. He was going through his progressions and used a variety of receivers which is an indication he was seeing the whole field. It was his first game too so this knit-picking is true BS. A 9 million Sabres winger scores 14 goals and he gets forgiven and every reason he sucked is rationalized away, a QB lights it up pretty good and he is Tim Tebow on here because they can both run.
