Per Fox Sports: The Bills quarterback is 20 of 27 (74%) on sneaks from the 1 during his seven-year career and four of six this season. (Admittedly - I find this hard to believe.)
Liked the call - not the formation (1 tush pusher). Disagree on the bootleg . . . running east-west with a fast, penetrating defense is not a good idea.
Serious question - on the early snap by the Raiders Center - the penalty called was an illegal shift (I believe) which allowed the play to continue and the Chiefs recovered. I thought the call should have been illegal procedure and the play blown dead.
What are your opinions??? Have you heard differently from the talking heads??
My whole reaction to the play was:
Find a guy Josh!
Oh, you're running!
First Down! Yes!!!
Ohhhh, extra yards!! Great!!!
OMG!! He's gonna score!!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! He did it!!
This.
I saw the applause as props to Buffalo for beating them. I've seen him do it before, in other games and saw it that way on those occasions too. When you win a lot, like the Chiefs have, you become classy about it.
I have no problem with Taylor Swift - she can go to any ball game she wants to. Last January, she and the Kelce's seemed to have a great time and Jason became a fan favorite. She was well-protected, safely chauffeured in and out with an entourage. The article-writer seems to be making more of it than truly exists.
Agree (at this point of the season). Last year Josh got screwed. He was clearly better over the course of the year but because the 3 INT performance in the opener on MNF, people couldn't let go of turnover-Josh despite winning-out to clinch the division. This year, thus far, Lamar is lights out. Last week he was making Josh-Allen-throws. He's been playing great. Josh is playing more controlled and therefore taking fewer risks yielding fewer rewards.
White is only 26. He was a monster in TB, not sure why he didn't work out in Philly, but being part of a Fangio Defense could be part of the explanation. Fangio looks for certain types of players to fit his D. So does McDermott. So the question is would White fit? That's up to McBeane. What I don't want to see is another CJ Mosley-type outcome (monster in Balt and now in NY for the Jets). I don't want White to end up in NY, NE or Miami for the next 6 years if he can reclaim his beast-mode.
It's so hard talking about an MVP for Josh. I wish him nothing but the best, but the Championship is the goal, whether he has 2000 yds or 5000 yds passing is irrelevant. Of course once the season is over, whether the Bills miss the playoffs or win the Super Bowl - I want him to win all the post season accolades - of course!!
Tarkington, I thought, was overrated. His teams were good, but never got over the hump because he wasn't a great QB. Oh, he was the best scrambler, but EVERY play doesn't break down and he wasn't a great passer.
