I forgot Josh Allen is the first quarterback taken in the top ten in bills history

Hopefully he'll be the best

I'll see if I can channel Gerbe...

I mean I don't want to pat myself on the back or anything... but I called it pretty close. I said the "big" move would be the Dolphins up to the Bears. It was the Bills to the Bucs.

That's what you get for freaking out that everything was going to fall in place after the second pick.

Everything did fall in place like God was handing us a franchise quarterback

But we did the most bills thing ever took another project

Obviously they want to be the Carolina Panthers so bad
Drafted there Luke Kuechly and the "Cam Newton"

But hey we'll see if Josh Allen has a Hall of Fame career

I just don't understand how you're going to fix accuracy

Can't believe they were scared of a guy speaking his mind not like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady does

Thank God the Denver Broncos and the Browns saved us from giving up the world for this guy

At least if he sucks 2 years from now we can draft a quarterback again

The brown basically (frank)ed us

Could have been Allen at 1
The Jets take Mayfield
And then we could have had Sam darnold

all the reports leaking the info now that this was 100% Terry Pegula's guy, his decision in the end.

And people knock me for hating him as an owner.

I think Bar Bill wings are overrated. Their sauce tastes so different from actual Buffalo-style sauce that I feel like they should have a different name for their wings. This is an exaggeration to make my point, but it's like ordering BBQ wings and saying that you're eating Buffalo wings. That being said, a lot of people do love them, and I wouldn't recommend against trying them for that reason. Be aware that they are much hotter than most other wings, so adjust your order accordingly.

I think Gabriel's Gate on Allen has the best wings.

Bar Bill wings are my favorite. 2 more months....

Crosby is on a mission to eliminate communism

Vegas just let the entire league know they are the real deal

My prediction was a Pittsburgh vs. Vegas finals. Not a hard prediction.

Bills probably wanted Allen all along, but if anyone effed us, it was the Jets when they made the trade to 3.

Look on the bright side : Cleveland will always blow, no matter who they take, and the Jets are the Jets, almost in the same boat as the Browns.

no

I'm annoyed that we didn't get Mayfield...but that's only because I NEVER expected Darnold to be around.

Honestly the Browns (frank)ed themselves...Mayfield was only going to excel if he had two things: 1) a stable GM/coach; and 2) a good mentor

The browns have a new GM and a coach who is 1-26. Tyrod is not a mentor; certainly not one of McCown's caliber.

EDIT: Also...wtf were those idiots thinking passing on Nelson and Chubb at 4?!?!


I don't really know what you guys were thinking picking Allen...the only thing I can come up with is that they have some confidence that AJ will be the placeholder for a year or 2.

Tyrod is solid man. If intangibles made careers, he'd be a hall of famer.

All anyone can do is hope he turns out to be great. Beane and his gang have a great track record so far. I know I'm asking way too much for a sports fan, but hang on and let's see what he can do.

Terry Pegula sat at the draft table, which means Beane and his staff left and Terry made both picks.
