Cool to think Diggs was watching Allen this game from the Vikings sideline like "yeah, I wanna play with that kid"
Agreed, he thought that right after he saw the existing Bills wide receivers dropping catchable bombs….
He probably also knew he was better than our entire offensive weapons combined. That 2018 roster was atrocious. Most are out of the league already
I didn't even think about that til I read your comment
There's a deleted clip that I can't find anymore, but Diggs was saying to someone else that Josh was going to be a star someday while they were on the sideline. I wish I ripped it
this is funny since Diggs had zero control over where he was traded to. but it was a rare win-win trade in the NFL
As a Viking's fan I remember watching this game thinking it was a fluke. It was no fluke Josh Allen is legit.
As a Bills fan I thought that was a waste of a pick and said he’s gonna be a bust. Ohh boy was I ever wrong. That game right there made me an immediate fan of him and now I’ve spent so much money on his jerseys and t-shirts and anything with his name on it.
@@leo29hornsfan I'm sure to take him in fantasy every year. He's lead me to the finals this year. Hopefully a huge game against Atlanta today.
@@Cipher_8 oof
To be honest, after his second year I still thought maybe he wasn’t the guy. His third year, proved that boy, was I wrong.
@@Cipher_8 He carried me through my fantasy season, no way I could have win without him
“when hes in his mid 20’s theyre gonna tell him to make a better decision”
*hurdles l’jarius sneed in 2021-2022 season when he is 25*
I feel like he’s hurdled like 4 or 5 people
And last season he stiff-armed Kyle Van Noy to the turf.
Josh already said 3 days ago 1/21/22, " doesn't matter what anyone tells me if I can position the team into a better scoring position I'm going to do it, regardless what I'm told" and that's why the team respects him.
He's a fuckin beast. I don't remember the game but a dude tackled.him last season mad aggressive out of bounds and Josh used his momentum to grab him and twist and slam dude into the turf like the wwe
Hurdled another man against the cheifs
This game made me believe in what he could become. I’m so happy josh is our franchise qb! #billsmafia
#billsmafia forever
@@AKGarcia7051 FOREVER
Not only is he a good quarterback but he's a great kid as well, he's 100% for his team mates and he'll do anything to win. What a great pic Buffalo made in getting Josh Allen, he's a perfect fit for Buffalo.
Makes the previous 25 years all worth it
When Josh Allen was drafted that year I was like ohh god why is our staff incompetent and what the hell do they see in that big kid who can only throw the ball deep. Well apparently they saw something in him that I didn’t see and that’s a QB that is not human at times and made me an instant fan of him immediately and said holy dog shit this kid is the real deal.
You were misled by the limitations of Wyomings conference
The funny thing - Allen/Bills don't throw many deep-balls any longer because IMHO he's not very accurate on those. His arm is so strong, he's overthrowing receivers 60 yards down field.
The Jets made fun of us for drafting him over Josh Rosen. I can't tell you how many times I heard "you drafted the wrong Josh". They said Sam Darnold was gonna own us lol.
@@megahunter223 lol 😂 yeah Sam Darnold is just tearing it up with his career right now. He looked so impressive that the Panthers gave up everything to get him and he’s just done so well in Carolina. I remember two years ago after Josh led the Bills to the playoffs the analysts the aka experts said ohh Sam Darnold and Tua Tongaviloa are the best QB’s in the AFC East before Tua ever took a snap and Darnold had back to back losing seasons. Yep let the Allen hate comments keep rolling and we saw how that worked out for those two. Tua is decent but he ain’t Josh Allen and we’ll we all know what happened to Sam Dizzy 😵 Darnold. Lmao 😂
@@megahunter223 “In a press conference following the draft, Rosen referred to the players taken before him as "nine mistakes".” Well, that didn’t quite pan out did it
Im a die hard bills fan and this is the greatest pick since Bruce smith. This guy has it all, hurtling, trucking, stiff arms, biggest arm in the League, he’s pretty fast for his size, great personality. He is the reason why we have hope
Arguably better. Yes, I know. But to turn around the franchise like this? Once in a lifetime “fits like a glove” pick
I remember arguing with Bills fans for months when we drafted Allen, a lot of them wanted Rosen. I couldn’t stand Rosen, the reason I liked Josh Allen off the bat is his attitude and the fact he was very coachable. This game definitely solidified my opinion on the kid and I’ve loved watching him grow into the QB he is now
I loved him too, but for his arm. Everyone hated on him “a strong arm won’t get you anywhere” I knew that with a little accuracy improvement he will be the goat. Look at him now just getting better and better every season
I'm sure glad we didn't get Rosen.
Remember we had 'inaccurate' Tyrod Taylor at that time. So of course guys wanted the most accurate passer coming out. Its whatever you got burned by last. But I did not want Rosen because I heard his teammates didn't like him. That don't show on a stat sheet. My guess is that in the interviews Josh came across as Josh and Rosen came across as a dishrag.
I was one of those Rosen lovers smh I’m so happy we have McD and Beane in our staff and not my dumb ass..
@@ryanmccoy942
That’s what I told everyone. Wait till he gets better. I was in my freshmen year of college when Josh started. Now look how far he’s come 😂
now he’s a top 5 qb in the league, you love to see it
Top 3 QB
Top 1 with Brady gone
Top 5? C’mon my guy. Mahomes and Allen are the top 2 QB’s in the league now easily and then there is a big drop off.
he's the best now
We were fat underdogs in this game too. Will never forget this one 😂
16.5 point underdogs if I remember correctly, one of the biggest lines ever given.
I remember the talking heads speculating that we couldn’t beat Alabama during the lead up to this game
@@dakotaarturo6223 You are correct. This game was supposed to be a walk in the park.
Fast forward to 2022 and both teams played one of the most exciting NFL games ever played. Buffalo favored by 3.5 and the Vikings win by 3 in OT.
Go figure.
The game when I figured out that he was going to be a future mvp was the year after that in Dallas. He fumbled the snap on a huge 4th down and short. Most qbs would have fell on the ball but he picked it up and tried to run forward. He was met almost immediately and it looked as though he had no chance to pick up the first. Then out of nowhere he dug in and fought through 4 cowboys and ripped through another for the first down. I was shocked. Josh got up off the ground and ran forward into a massive fist pump in Jerry world on Thanksgiving day. That was when I knew. I have never questioned him since that play and as long a he is healthy I will never again.
Ripped is the word to describe what he did. Like bulldozing through a cactus patch.
That play is when I knew the Bills had someone different. Someone unique.
He's a big guy who's farmer strong. It's sometimes shocking to see him do stuff like that. Here is the clip:
th-cam.com/video/W3mEEtfOdPQ/w-d-xo.html
Man is so quick for his size it's insane he really is like the perfect model for a QB. He can be a pocket passer, he can scramble, he has the strength to shake off almost any defender combined with his nasty stiff arm. If he becomes even more accurate, and stop making those minor mistakes he will be an MVP in a few years time and eventually get Buffalo that ring. I BILLELIVE
he should be mvp this year after rodgers collapse but it wont happen.
I feel honored to watch Allen as a Bills fan. We got so lucky. Now with the defense and Singletary?
Soak it in Bills fans. If you lived any of the drought? You know what I mean. This is like paradise compared to those years.
Go Bills! Go Josh Allen! And go defense!
I went to this game, absolutely crazy game. The almost brand new Vikings stadium is great, and the crowd was stunned that we won, one of my favorite bills games I've been to
I was there. Vikings friends talked so much trash on the 4 hour drive to get to the game. Didn't make a sound on the way back. It was great
Aahh revenge...
🤣
Then josh allen would top it a year later on national TV in Dallas
and he topped it again in new england the next year after that and again in new england the year after that
@@kh0357 next up he’s winning the Afc championship against the Chiefs then he’ll beat the packers in the bowl!!!!
@@JoseLopez-go7cc packers vs bills that would be an awesome game
@@JoseLopez-go7cc Hopefully beat the chiefs, packers are out tho
@@JoseLopez-go7cc Not the Packers. Rodgers is most likely leaving and Adams might leave.
The game last week made Josh Allen a legend
I've heard many people say things like "Allen wasn't good at first." People that say that probably didn't watch any games his rookie year. It was obvious early on that this kid had "it," but he was just raw and unpolished.
Little did diggs know he’ll me on that team in 2021
*2020
This is the game Diggs said I wanna play with this kid one day and win a super bowl..
That could be the coolest fucking intro I’ve ever seen what a great job!!
Being at this game as a Vikings fan it was pain but I watched one of my favorite players have his first great game
I truly believe we'll get to the super bowl with the way we've been playing. Our biggest obstacle is the chiefs this Sunday, but we beat them then we can beat Bengals or titans. Let's Go Buffalo!!!
The game where I knew we had something. I wasnt sure exactly what but I knew he felt different than everyone else. Turned out I was right.
This was the first time he did special things. He was being a gamer
I thought he was a Mike Glennon that could run at first but hes super fun to watch. Hes a legit franchise qb. Also has a pretty cool doc out there about how he had to like send out all his HS tapes to coaches trying to get a shot.
When Josh Allen jumped over Anthony Barr I knew right there and then the Bills found their franchise QB
I think this game was a real eye opener for Bills fans. But I think the game vs the cowboys on thanksgiving day was the one that woke up the main stream media
Yes. For me the cowboys game made me a believer that this team had finally turned the corner, and many good years were ahead.
I loved Allen right off the bat. The guy genuinely showed a love of the game that just bode well. This Vikings fans suspected great things were coming for Josh.
Allen has definitely made good on his word to make Beane and McDermott look smart for drafting him.
This was the game that made me think "Okay, this guy might turn into something great." Then the Bills played the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and he picked up the ball that was fumbled and barreled his way through the Cowboys defensive line, and I thought "Yeah, he is going to be great."
And even though he was on the losing end, I saw Josh Allen's performance in the divisional round and I thought "This dude is our GOAT."
That game against the cowboys reassured me that the bills had finally turned the corner
A Kirk Cousins classic performance that got him $35m. Love to see it
Watching this way late makes me realize how lucky the bills are to get josh allen
Milano doesn't get enough credit for his performance in this one. Sack, fumble recovery, interception, 8 tackles 1 for a loss, 2 passes defended. He was an absolute menace all over the field in this game
Vikings fan here. I was at this game unfortunately but I knew that Josh Allen was going to be an Mvp caliber QB in a few years. Also this is the game that made me think Zimmer overlooks teams turns out I was right on both
if you are a viking fan then you should know this was the Everson Griffen game where he had his first public Mental meltdown mere hours before the game was supposed to start, thats why the team didnt get up for the game it had zero to do with Zim. the players just wanted it to be over so they could check in on their Friend and teammate
I remember this Game cause the vikes we're 17 points favorite and the bills just take the heart of the entire building in the 1stQ and never look back
never get tired of watching Josh..
As I recall this was the "Man in the Arena" game. Great speech and game. Go Bills
I think once buffalo wins a super bowl, I gotta go Vikings as my team to cheer for after the bills. They have such a cool chant and drum. Cool colors and helmets. Plus that ice cold gaming. Love it!!!!! Love the Bills far more, but cool. Cool history guys and man did I love this game. That leap….I said wow I was wrong. I didn’t want him. I wanted Rosen. Me stupid.
What a fun qb to watch. Love the way he plays.
Man , this game and then the Jalen Ramsay game when he called Josh trash were eye opening and really the games that showed me that we found our man. I ve been here forever ,1985 and seen the 21 qbs between Kelly and Allen. We are so lucky. Hoping this l
This is the day I got confirmation that we had a potential rare Superstar on our hands. The rest is history
It is so nice to be a Bills fan right now!!! I was only 4-8 during the Super Bowl years, so I barely remember them. Go Bills!!!!
When the Bills break the huddle to get into the Victory formation to run out the clock on the way to their first Superbowl Win we'll look back and say this Vikings game was the Genesis of where it all started topped off with earning their first Ring in the franchises history...God I love thinking about this outcome! 😊 #BillsMafia
Josh Allen is a Fantastic Quarterback!! He has put his Team on his Back So many times and Personally made first downs and Rushing touchdowns to help his Team Win! Respect
As a bills fan I love this
I was there for the Jim Kelly days. This is way different. Jim was a big star when he got here. College and the USFL.
And no surprise he had a fat head. Kind of obnoxious. Hard not to when a kid has such fame. Now of course Jimbo is our #1 citizen and loved by all but remember he didn't want to come to Buffalo at first.
Josh came in as a true underdog. Someone who wanted nothing but the chance to come to a city like Buffalo and lead their football team. He is like a hometown kid because we watched him grow into a star before our eyes. Smart, tough, determined and just a great kid to everyone.
Talk about checking all the boxes... Go Bills!
What a poetic way to come back to the Vikings with diggs on his team now and play in the best game of the year this year.
Allen is just so damn athletic man
I remember when they drafted him I was so surprised but look at him now I have loved the bills since 2016
this game made me excited for a bills qb in yearssss. imagine how well they would’ve been if they had players on offense that wanted to play with allen
Going into this game I didn't think that the Bills had any chance to win it. I was as shocked as anyone that not only did they win they embarrassed the Vikings!
This game against Kansas City is going to be a good one
Called it
@@donnysofree It was a great game, although I really wanted the Bills to take this one. I have nothing but respect for KC
@@SEBAS_andshrimp hopefully they change the OT rules in the playoffs
We love josh Allen
When I watch this I think how bad I would love to have Lorenzo Alexander back. Alexander with Edmunds and Milano and Buffalo would’ve been in Super Bowl 56
I remember watching this thinking that Josh had the tools and if he could put it together it could be something special.
That said, I don’t often see NFL Teams play as uninspired as the Vikings did on that day.
well that was the Day Everson Griffen had his Big Mental meltdown literally hours before the game, Everson Griffen being one of the best players and Leaders on the team, The Team didnt Give 2 shits about the bills that day they were concerned with their friend Griffen and thats all they cared about
I remember watching this game and it’s Crazy to see how much this offence has changed
Milano had a hell of a game. Then again he has a hell if a game every game
Thanks For This 🙏🙏
It's been fun watching Josh Allen development into the superstar he has become. Humble dude. From a Rams fan
Imagine taking the Bills money line on this game. I think the spread was over 20.
If I recall correctly it was 17, and the Bills set some kind of record, like highest margin of victory compared to the spread or something.
@@Kune35 good call, still a huge spread.
@@Kune35 And Josh Allen's number is 17.
Coincidence? I think *NOT!*
I remember watching Josh Allen when he was at U of Wyoming. He was so amazing. His story of how all the other big schools wouldn't give him a chance to play and how NFL also turned their head away, this shows how good old Wyoming and Buffalo are awesome and can see talent!!
Milano was all over the field that game jeez lol
diggs was on the vikings sideline like ¨i wanna play with that dude¨
Wan see the weapons we have now compared to what we used to have is insane
We assumed this was going to be a trap game. Hell even one of the bills retired at halftime the week before. Not only did this show how Amazing Josh Allen is going to be. But also exposed the vikings D as trash
As someone that played with him in highschool and JC I never expected him to be the best QB in the league rn tbh
6:06 Ramon Humber hit on Diggs is so savage.
I was at this game. Only Bills fan in a carload of vikings fans. Thought i wasnt getting a ride back to iowa that day. Also been a Bills fan since 1990 and this was my 1st and only Bills game ive attended.. kinda sad but kinda cool
this is the game that made diggs want to go to buffalo the next year.
This game was in 2018 2 years later, Diggs got traded in 2020. GO BILLS!
I had a huge parlay that week, this game was one of the legs and I refused to lay -17 against my Bills but couldn't take the points either because of the Vontae Davis drama that week, I feared it would get worse before it got better, especially against the NFCCG Vikings, so I took the over expecting Josh to have a good game and our defense to bounce back but not fully, meaning the over would be easy. By halftime I was stoked, not only were we up and Josh was already proving me right and making me dream, but I figured a comeback attempt by the Vikings would guarantee I'd cover the over, as long as we weren't shut out in the second half. Of course my parlay died but this was an incredible memory and my favorite Bills moment in a very long time.
This is the way
Josh Allen is such a talented player, incredible athlete 👏👏👏
I don’t see it in the comments but what a performance by Matt Milano (58).
This game told me The Bills were about to be an amazing team.
That was such a cool intro ;3;
I knew this kid was gonna be a stud when we got him buffalo we are getting that super bowl
ありがとうございました😊
I remember this game
It started at 12 and was finished about 1220-1230
lions fan, watching because of josh allen
Being from Wyoming I was rooting for josh since the start
#BillsMafia is so lucky to have him as our QB
goes to show the merit of making good picks and building. alot of the bills players who played that day are still there today
Not that Allen didn't have a good game, but that was more a clinic on a good Bills D. Such an awesome opening chant and cheer, only to be crushed.
His receivers were a raw and developing Zay Jones, "a Popeye biscuit from a TE" Sheldon Benjamin, and whoever else his accuracy issues wasn't the biggest issue when you consider what he was working with
The bills defense was amazing this game
This brings back memories, with a lot of old faces, and also those great days earlier when AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman competed for the starting position while Josh (aka "The Wrong Josh") Allen was supposed to sit, watch and learn ;) On a side note, I thought that this was a Fantasy Football video for a second when I saw Kelvin Benjamin catch a ball!
The afc qbs are legendary. To Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, etc. The afc is on a role with these young vibrant qbs
Yeah, this truly was the game ...
Imagine paying money to watch your team get their shit kicked in at home
yeah like being a Cowboys fan
Fire vid
I was at that game 😢
as a vikings fan
That’s the picture I want on my wall Alan jumping over
People: mahomes is better because he was good immeadiatly and he won a SB
Meanwhile josh came into the league and had I dont even remember who as his coordinator, chris ivory, charles clay and Kelvin Benjamin and zayn jones.
Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith played for the best offensive coach ever, had prime kareem hunt, travis kelce and tyreek hill.
I think allen is better for climbing out of that hole, not to mention high school and college development differences.
“Vikigs were the heavy favorite” im intrigued 😯😲
We knew he could run, did you know he could fly?
I mean, Kirk Cousin was 1 game above .500, the Universe just couldn't let it happen so it gave Allen superpowers.
Normal stuff.
Another thing you rarely see. 5 to 7 players on that team are still here. Beans said it build through draft, and he has mainly.
go bills
Can we talk about how Milano had two fumble recoveries and a pick in this game as well?
the only reason i started liking the bills was because of this
Wyatt watched this thinking: Why the fuck did it have to be against the Vikings? (He's a fan of both of them lol)
I remember watching this and thinking wow he might be good
