Welcome to Pardon My Take, presented by DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Today is Friday, September 18th, and no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills opened their new stadium, dropped 40 points.

Their offense looked incredible. DJ Moore gets hurt, and it's still, Josh Allen is, and I know that, you know, we're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough, because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. Like the flick of the wrist, the runs, everything. It just all, it looks like the game has slowed down for him. I know the Lions defense is not very good. They were, they had 86 snaps on Sunday. They had a short rest. I get it. But he's in just total control of the game.

I think there's obviously a lot of really good quarterbacks in the league right now. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes. I think, the Buffalo Bills are the only fan base that I actually get jealous of when I watch Josh Allen play.

Dan Katz (3:11)

He's just so good.

PFT Commenter (3:12)

I'm like, I would love to be able to root for this guy every week. How much joy do you get from watching him, even as a guy that's not a Bills fan? It's like, it's incredible to watch him play.

He does it all. He's exciting. He's got the rocket arm. The wrist is still like very much alive. He'll flick the wrist, the ball goes 30 yards. And then just the way that he runs and puts it all on the line, like, I'm jealous of Bills fans that they get to root for this guy.

Dan Katz (3:34)

I actually think maybe the best play that wasn't even a touchdown or Josh Allen running for a touchdown or throwing for a touchdown.

Aiden Hutchinson is a big fucking guy, a strong guy. Josh Allen had him on his back and was able to get the ball out. That's the thing. He's just so big and strong. And yeah, we're glazing right now. With the Bills offense, I don't know about their defense, but the Bills offense and obviously they had Ed Oliver go out before the game, but their offense with Joe Brady, the chunk plays are there. They're taking shots like constantly. DJ More Injury is going to be a problem because I do think that he was, if you watched like last week, he adds that element to the offense that had been missing with that deep threat, but they're two and oh, they get a little pressure rest here and the stadium. Like it was perfect that Josh Allen opened the stadium with the first touchdown. He has, they said the stat, I said on Monday, Al Michaels did. Josh Allen now has 10 games where he's ran for two touchdowns and thrown for at least two touchdowns. And the only other person close is Steve Young with four, four of those. So that just puts into perspective how good Josh Allen has been.

As for the Lions, their defense is, again, I do grade it on a curve. 86 snaps to three days rest to playing on the road is an impossible task.
