What, just because he hasn't been hit that much doesn't mean all the throwing on his surgically repaired elbow isn't taking its toll.

What?

Ben looked good last night. Couple bad throws.
1 was an exceptional pick by the Bill's defense.

He was an mvp candidate. Elbow schwellbow

What's really funny tooth69, is that you couldn't admit josh allen was good, until 3 weeks ago.

Those in glass houses shouldn't bag on the franchise mvp candidate hometown quarterback

Allen didn’t show he could read zone defense until a few weeks ago.

11-2 with no running game

This can't be true. But matt drew stafford isnt to blame for anything.

I have matt drew stafford at 20 -22 on current qb rankings. Prior to the injury. Alot of the losing is his fault.


He's kinda the irrelevant skinner type guy, no one would take on his overpaid contract.

I'm sure they wish the could get rid of him. No takers

- Boss34


This years Steelers is a slightly better version of last years Bills team.

The defense dominated and they had an easier schedule up to this point.

They should finish 12-4 or 13-3 I think they have another loss in there as Indy is looking really good.

He did it all season long but also, he hasn't run the ball, so we aren't 11-2.

Well, Trent Dilfer did win once, too, so we should probably trade Josh Allen for Daniel Jones or Sam Darnold.

I was thinking Joe Flacco, because he's won, after all, with an elite D and strong run game.

What? So since the Jax game his Average YPT is about 5.2 to 5.5 yards, with a couple games under 4yrds. He gets rid of the ball so quick because he is only throwing it 4yrds down the field. In the last 4gms he's thrown 6 of his interceptions. He started of great, not so good the last bunch.

He's only won one championship though.

That's unsuccessful


It's not fun to watch your team win 12 games each season and average at least a playoff win or two, to go along with winning it all one time.

That sounds dreadful

- sbroads24


why would we want the Bills to be perennially in the playoffs? that sounds.. dreadful

Oh yes I’m sure the Packers fans were jumping for joy in the NFC Championship game last year when Goroppolo beat them throwing for 74 yards. I’m sure they were begging for him to throw more that day.

I get it, the Bills are 10-3 for the first time since 1991. They are going to win the division for the first time since 1995.

Perhaps winning the division alone is enough for you to be satisfied with the season. That’s absolutely fine and if that’s what makes you happy then so be it. Congratulations on your achievements this season up to date.

Sooner or later though the expectations are going to rise, and making the playoffs becomes an after thought. Sooner or later nobody is going to care about playoff appearances but what you do when you get there.

The Bills defence is legit, they are all things considered the 2nd best team in the AFC right now because of it. The Bills built a solid foundation around their QB and are reaping the dividends.

The Packers haven’t won anything because all they have ever been is Aaron Rodgers. The one time they had a defence they won the SB. Their defence is going to be the reason why they lose to the Rams, Saints, or the field in the playoffs.

I have never argued that Elite QB won’t get you to the playoffs, however every year an Elite QB may lose to a lesser QB because of the strength of the team.

I’ll take the better all around team then just the best QB.

This season the Bills may have the Elite QB with the best overall team. A lot of the times that usually isn’t the case.

Mahomes had an MVP season in 2018 and lost in the AFC Championship.

They come back the next season with Spagnuolo as the DC and some different personnel and win a SB with a defence that ranked top 10 if not top 5 against the Pass.

Whether you have an elite QB, or you have a “good” QB the game comes down to much more then that.

With or without Josh Allen the bills get taken to the woodshed last night if their defence wasn’t up to the task.

I don’t even wanna argue about what we’re arguing and just focus on this point because it’s absurd.

Do you actually think Packers fans don’t absolutely love winning a poop ton more than they lose, and celebrate SB wins occasionally or are you just purposely being ridiculous?

This team isn't going to win the Superbowl like the 2014 Bills with Orton, Freddy, Dareus, Mario, Kyle and Hughes.

Now THAT was a team that could run and stop the run.

Whatever dude.

Just because you didnt see how good he was playing, doesn't mean he couldn't read defenses.

All the sudden he learned ? Sure. You were wrong and now your right, by liking Allen's game

I honestly don’t see the difference between a 5 year playoff drought or going to the playoffs and losing 5 years in a row.

Just dropping in to laugh my ass off because - after these posts and weeks of back and forth horsepoop - we have finally refined the argument to whether the Super Bowl Winner will be the best all around team with an elite quarterback, or the best all around team with the best running game and defense.

When of course, all along, everybody was agreeing that the Super Bowl Winner will be the best all around team.

And you jerk-offs just wanted to argue on the margins.
