big tripping penalty missed but what I say stands regardless:
JOSH ALLEN SHOULD’VE BEEN THROWING FOOTBALLS MORE THIS SUMMER THAN HITTING GOLF BALLS
BUFFALO NEEDED TO CAN DORSEY
And yeah Jets & Dolphins now objectively look better, faster & younger on paper.
Congrats Bills 🙃

One fan tweeted, Heartbreaking loss for the Bills. They had a real opportunity to make a statement tonight, but they let it slip away. This is not the way we wanted to start the season. #BillsMafia #Disappointed.
Fml 🤦🏾♂️ Josh Allen @BuffaloBills – with a shambolic performance and 4 turnovers to lose to Zach Wilson and the Jets! Ffs! 13 leg multi down the drain – thanks champ – see you on the bench against @Raiders Next week
