As I usually do, I watch the FS1 and ESPN talk show clips about the Bills the next day.

I cannot. Believe. Anyone. Is talking. About. Allen.

It’s absolutely insane at this point.

He is the entire offense

He is the entire team.

He really is a Unicorn.

We finally have a legit QB and they are giving him the Phillip Rivers treatment down at OBD.

He literally hit Diggs in his hands with a 50 yard TD that was dropped. Hit Knox multiple times. I can’t believe people are saying he was bad

At least he actually isn't. Maybe this is good for us going forward.

Fly under the radar, sneak into the playoffs, make a run.

I just don't know with this team anymore other than Josh.

That throw alone, holy poop, in those conditions to put it perfectly on him, the ball was just moving too much.

The game hinged on one play really, the Harris TD, Dodsen whiffed badly, left a giant hole, and that was that. Minus that run the Pats averaged like 3.5 ypc, hardly spectacular. And there's no reason to think that drive would've ended any differently than the Pats other drives, there's no way Belichick was going to throw into the wind if they got in 3rd and long.

I still have a difficult time believing a human actually made that throw in those conditions.

Before the preseason, I predicted the Sabrex st 57 pts. After the preseason I modified it to 62pts.
At 30% of the season in the rearview mirror, that range is looking solid.
I think a late season surge will offset the early season 5-1 surge..so, 62 is a pretty good prediction. imo of course.

That should garner a 30th place, finish and result in a top 5 pick after the Lottery..or could move up.

I missed the game last night, could not find it on the NHL package nor ESPN + on the streaming service. Was bummed as I wanted to see Zegras

Nice Read Hank! Horrible Broadcast. And the Ducks had 24 blocked shots last night, think Skinner had 12 of them. And the Sabres really need to start hitting the net with there shots. They missed the net on 14 decent shot opportunities, and we all know Butcher led there.

They need to build a OLine around Allen, it's not even just for the running game, for the passing game to. So many missed opportunities cause Allen doesn't have the time. That F@cking 2nd last drive of the game for the Bill's Diggs was breaking wipe open over the middle at about the 8 but Allen was already running for his life and had to try and hit Knox in the End zone. Allen didn't even get to his 3rd step dropping back at he was already in trouble.

I do not think all the best first-round picks in the world can save this team. They have had a loser mentality for far too long. Who would want to be traded to this team? Answer: No one. The Pegulas have ruined professional sports in Buffalo!

Yes, but catching it was probably even more of a challenge than throwing it.

Bill's need Feliciano back, and by no means is he the savior. But he helps Morse and Dawkins plays better.

The game was on the main page of Hulu, and I was able to access it via the ESPN app on my phone as well.

Z has made guys want to come to the rink… simply because he’s a precocious, happy go lucky kid who doesn’t know he’s not supposed to try or do certain things in the league… kinda like the unwritten baseball rules… he’s just like Fck’it I’m trying it….

Good on Eakins who said we’re just going to live with his D mistakes for now…and he’s already gotten better in the dot… because his creativity is so infectious all the guys dig it.

I thought for sure Sabres would take him NY kid and all… he has that NY swagger and confidence ….


You guys are out of your minds about the Bills … that D is big and nasty… Yeah they need better play calling inside the 15… what were those calls…
But nobody wants anything to do with Buffalo come playoff time..
esp my Bolts…
