I'd rather hang out with a nest of murder hornets instead of hanging out with Jimbo

People change, never liked him as a player.

Really comes off as a good guy the few times I've met him.

Nhl schedule is leaving 3 weeks open for the Olympics.

Sabres do not have a home game in February

I'm interested to see him and Trubisky. I wonder if Fromm gets traded this summer or what they end up doing with him

When the Bill's added mitch , it really showed the final hope for the coaching staff.

Superbowl/ home afc championship type upgrade to the most important position in sports. ( back up/ starter) still the same position....

Josh Allen is a unicorn.

And thanks to him I get to watch Drew Lock again this year and hope for some miracle with him too.

To be fair his first 22 starts I couldn’t tell a difference.

Now he looks like Steve Young.

I could see both guys in the huddle this season together.

Line 1 up at tight end in the redzone? Wildcat too

Such a different feel with the Bill's, we would talking about what the Sabres could inevitably get for trubisky at the trade deadline.

I would not be shocked if trubisky gets no offers to be a starter after this year, and signs a 3 year deal to be our long term backup

Not to mention the offensive line.

Vlad Ducasse, Russell Bodine and Co. Bad bad bad

Interesting thought.

He could look really good in this offense though...

Maybe the opposite? Showcases for starting position.

If he sucks, do we want him for 3 years?

I don't think he will stink

I think he will be happy here and if nothing comes up, stick around

There is a analytic statistic that measures passes to “open” receivers (what criteria goes into that I’m not completely sure) but he was last in the league in that too his rookie year and it wasn’t pretty year two either.

Going from that to a top 5 QB in one offseason is pretty crazy.

Definitely made me eat my hat there.

Playing for a winner vs. Starting for a destined loser....

I like matching up size and characteristics between qb 1 and qb 2. I think these guys are similar size, age and playing style.

How much of his improvement was a result of better QofT

I would assume Diggs played a huge role forsure, the guy is an absolute cheat code against man coverage.

Allen deserves a lot of credit too though for Diggs’ numbers as at the end of the day he does have to deliver the ball to him and Diggs never had those types of numbers in Minny.

Kind of like the NFL version of Ovechkin and Backstrom. Ovechkin is quite possibly the games greatest goal scorer but to say that he didn’t benefit from Backstrom’s elite play making ability in a sense would be false. Ditto Backstrom, he probably still has a HOF caliber career himself but when you have Ovechkin on the other side of his passes it definitely helps inflate the numbers.

The Bills are sitting pretty, just gotta figure out how to beat the Chiefs.

Sure, but that was all arranged before it became blatantly obvious the Chinese Communist Party either knowingly or accidentally released a plague upon humanity. Forget Western Nations, how the hell does Any Nation square with sending athletes to China? India for instance would absolutely stun me if they participated in the 22 games

Like how Beane has set himself up to, they still have almost 7m in cap space. Still can go out and get himself a player or 2 if he doesn't like what he see's at a position.
