. It was the duckiest pass ever. I almost couldn’t believe that I just watched Brady do that.

from what I hear, a good number of businesses has closed for good already



if locked up another 2 months, how many more close?

- navinrjohnson


Likely a bunch
But it’s hyperbolic exaggeration to say WNY won’t survive

The bar/restaurant industry has been hit hard
There’s gonna be a lot more closings before next summer whether we get “shut down” again or not

I’d imagine it’ll be tough for pretty much any business that has t been run well before Covid to stay afloat through all this, and all to come

All these words with 0 meaning behind them. Just take the L on Allen. I did. He's 10x better than I thought.

He's been great this season. Elite. His numbers across the board are top 10, and top 5 in most cases. Enjoy it.

Stop coming on here pretending to be some realist who needs us to temper our excitement on our franchise, elite level, super good QB.

5 or 6 good games isn’t enough to make someone “elite”

12th outta 32 isn’t “elite”

You’re doing “trump math” dude

Could’ve been the game plan/coaching, or the weather, or an injury, or dropped passes....
blah blah blah

At the end of the day, the production wasn’t there, for whatever “reason”
When that happens....
we can still squeak by crappy teams like the Jets & Pats
and aren’t good enough to beat good teams like Tennessee & the Chiefs

And all that’s ok
Like u said, Allen is moving forward in his development
And i agree... it’s been a bigger step this year than i expected as well

But it’s also ok to say there’s still work to be done,
by the GM, & the coach, & the players...
and that includes Allen

MVP frontrunner Russell Wilson beat one team with a winning record. And nobody cared.


Josh Allen and the Bills beat 4 teams with winning records and it's excuse after excuse about how he's only good against bad teams

He’s literally top 10 in every passing category

And 3rd in yards, TD’s.

He’s been elite this season. Period.

Love to see it

Josh Allen is top-10 in numbers and bottom-third in narratives

This Josh Allen debate has now ventured into the land of
- is Vanek lazy and lucky, or good and skilled
- is Risto's play a plus or minus
- is Sam good or living off Jack

Imagine if we had the 3rd ranked defense to go along with the O. Say 1 thing they still need to figure out that run game.

He will never get over that Kansas City debacle where Patrick Mahomes threw for 90 more yards and the same amount of TD's in the rain

Milano will have 5 weeks total time off from his 3 game hiatus. Hopefully that helps. I really like what Dean Marlowe brings. I wonder if there's a way they can get him more involved. Obviously you're not bringing poyer or hyde off the field to do so

Be interesting to see what Worley and Lee can bring too.

That's not that bad actually. Could be worse. They could say "all bars and restaurants are take-out only", but at least they're keeping them basically fully open. 4 people at a table seems almost excessive to me...I'd do 2. I love the Covid testing at the schools - great idea. And I wish the last one was 10pm, not midnight.

That's just me.

Russel Wilson has played great year after year after year
Big difference between 5 or 6 games worth

Also....
u guys are acting like I’m saying Allen sucks
He doesn’t
He’s played well overall for sure
I just don’t think half a season is enough to call ANYONE “elite”

He's played 9 games this season. Through 9 games..... His numbers combining ALL of those games are ...... Elite. Stop saying 5 or 6 games. It makes no sense.

Just take that L

I really don’t think the majority of the positive tests are from restaurants/bars.

Private parties are the real bad thing.

Being hurt means you play. Being injured means you are out.

I have little doubt he was hurt and it affected his mechanics and therefore his results.

- kingcong39


If you are that hurt. Take a seat and get healthy. Simple as that

Yes, you get it.

Wilson Rodgers brees Brady Big Ben.

All those guys have been consistent year in and year out.

Allen’s been good for 5 games out of 9.

Right now, he’s almost like Watson. Both can put up 400 yards 4 tds

Or put up 150 yards 1 td and 2 ints

Which Allen am I getting on Sunday?

It was 4th and 7 and they were down 31-0.

He was throwing what he hoped was a jump ball to Gronk.

Gronk can jump?

He doesn't. Nor do you.

I have no clue what any of those other QB's past seasons have anything to do with this season.

Through 9 games....THIS Season... Josh Allen is elite.

I’m curious as to why Seattle played so much man coverage when the Bills had struggled against zone the last few weeks.

It was a 50/50 split between zone and man.
