Stafford tackling, Allen running the ball, all in a game that's pretty much over. SMH

**The SnowShow** · 09-08-2022, 09:14 PM

Is there anyway Buffalo doesn’t win it all this year?

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 09-08-2022, 09:18 PM

Their QB gets killed.

Ha! Stafford up-ended that dude tho. I he hadn’t tucked his chin it woulda been a perfect form tackle. Did get it done in open field.

Josh Allen, that's the comment

Let's say Josh gets killed by a gaggle of defensive lineman and a free safety. Right now, would his funeral or the Queen's be bigger?

Anybody know the record for consecutive games without a punt?

This... How long until he ends up in the club of running QB's that look unstoppable but then get too dinged up to make those spectacular plays.
There's a reason most running backs have a peak of 2-3 years.

I know which one would serve more Labatt Blue Light.

Injuries sminjuries, Josh will be fine. He is different.
Go Bills

**Timberridge** · 09-09-2022, 07:51 AM

Gosh, it seems that not too long ago they were piping in crowd noise to stadiums.

**ticketchecker** · 09-09-2022, 08:41 AM

And how about that stiff arm Josh laid on the safety?

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 09-09-2022, 09:31 AM

Next safety will go for his ACL.

You seem to have it in for him and wish him harm.

I like to revisit this Jalen Ramsey quote every so often...and today seems appropriate.

No, absolutely not. The term gets overused, but he is a legit generational talent. I'd love to see him and the team win the super bowl, and they're all set up for it this year. But I just think it's insanity for him to be running plays like he does. He gives out big hits but he also takes big hits and it's just a matter of time before he gets dropped for a season. And when it happens everybody's going to wring their hands and say it shouldn't have happened.

**hatchgreenchile** · 09-09-2022, 10:05 AM

Injuries are freaky. Like most players, he'll miss time eventually.
We've heard the same thing about Lamar for years. How did he get hurt last year? On a dropback pass.

**ticketchecker** · 09-09-2022, 10:14 AM

I'd rather he wasn't running in the fourth when the game was in hand for sure. Some of his runs were designed and others he made the choice, too much contact for sure.

Holy fuck is he the terminator of QB's though, he might actually BE a buffalo

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 09-09-2022, 10:18 AM

They have the talent to be able to burn a play or a series. Take a slide, throw the ball in the dirt, he doesn't need to try to make things happen to hang 40 plus points on an opposing team.

**paulster2626** · 09-09-2022, 10:21 AM

I'm going to suggest that frequent contact is actually good for him, as his mind/body learns to adjust and sort of 'get used to' the abuse and learns to avoid those scary collisions.

Anyway it's what he does and it's fun to watch. Not going to ruin it by speculating on when he gets injured, that sucks. Lets go Buffalo!

Annual reminder that weird things happen in the first few weeks on the NFL season, especially in this era where starters often skip the whole preseason. It's common for bad teams to look good and good to teams look bad weeks 1-4. Teams with good coaching and QB's figure out how to cover up flaws and exploit weaknesses once they have tape to look at.

That said I'll go ahead and overreact anyway: The Bills are favorites for a reason. And the Rams O line may ruin their season.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 09-09-2022, 10:55 AM

I think Stafford's elbow is jacked up. His throws looked pretty shaky.

Everyone is shaky when they are constantly under pressure from a 4 man rush.

**mud** · 09-10-2022, 10:57 AM

For 12 years he was with the Detroit getting busted up.
He’s not use to being the defending victor, maybe getting shaky from nerves. Not everybody has Brady’s steely resolve.
