Because the telecast of the Thursday games belong to the NFL, that seems possible. If it belonged to Fox or CBS or ESPN, there might have been real heartburn.

I was in the stands for that game. Glorious. The euphoria was off the chain.

"I'm not up there". "I don't care". "But I am a little hurt" 🙂

Number keeps creeping up.

The dude/Ravens is/are 21-4 in games, including 6-1 as a rookie. That's remarkable. I watched the montage of his TD throws someone else posted here and it does show him using the whole field. In my mind, he will have a superbowl before long. He is greatly aided by a team that drafts well, attracts primo free agents, has a stout defense year-in, year out, an all-world kicker, a coach who rarely sees a fourth down play that he doesn't want to go for, a special teams unit that consistently excels and a really good secondary that can play man-to-man.

my bad.. I guess I meant deluge

The dearth deluge of Josh Allen love all of a sudden is crazy. Even the but-er's are more generous. He's got an arm, but, he plays reckless has changed to He's got an arm, but he has an occasional lapse... People who critique football players and fans alike know a QB should not run over Van Noy or facemask a lineman, but deep down we love it.

The price of CB poker is going up.

This seems totally workable as long as Pit and Bal stay healthy. But it makes for some interesting what if scenarios league-wide and serves as a reminder that no schedule is safe at the moment. Would get more difficult too for teams that share a facility like LA and NY.

Why Main Street, of course.

Hard not to smile watching that.

3 weeks, 3 different O-line configurations. Most teams seem to pick 5 guys and unless injury or sub par performance forces a change, they stick with it for cohesiveness reasons. The Bills change O-linemen situationally, or so it seems. This bucks the trend. I'm curious what folks think about this strategy.

I think I heard on GMFB that Carr does a lot of short yardage and check down plays and that was exactly what NE took away in the game.

Shocking. Who could’ve seen this coming?

The thing I worry about for Lamar is they are eventually going to get him hurt running that much. Everyone knows it’s coming. Just not when. They’re exposing him to too many hits by running it.

I should have been clearer. Decent to left on intermediate throws. I think this chart bears out he throws better to left than right at the intermediate level. Confirms what my eye at least thinks watching games. This range is where the bulk of most throws in the NFL occur. And confirms what everyone sees. Brown or Andrews down the middle is where you need to defend. Thanks for the chart.

Living in Maryland I get force fed a lot of Lamar. When they get that rushing game going, which they do nearly every week, his passing goes way up. No surprise there. That’s the NFL blueprint. He can throw it downfield. He had 36 TDs last year. My take is he excels at the Brady to Gronk routes. TEs down the middle. He throws decent to his left. It’s the right sideline throws he needs to polish. He’s more comfortable throwing to TEs. Andrews is a big target. He finds him. Take away Ingram, Andrews and middle of the field and make it the Lamar show and you can defend him. What I notice about his play so far this year is that he isn’t in run first mode like he was in last year. They are working on making his pocket awareness better. He needs to learn to play with some adversity. Playing ahead has to be oodles of fun. Making plays when the game is on the line rounds out the QB.

three up: 1. The Josh Allen Experience coming to a fanless stadium near you 2. Stefan Diggs 3. Gabe Davis three down: 1. Run defense 2. Mr "Tackling me is going to be a business decision" Moss 3. Injuries.. players are hurt way too early

I’ve probably seen and read more talking football heads this week than ever, and the Bills appreciation bandwagon is picking up steam. Roasting one of the best CBs not once but twice in a “we’re all watching to see if the Bills can beat a legit team” game, will be all over the highlights. Allen gave them soooo many awesome plays to pick from: spin move, 3-22, sideline throws, being thrown to ground like a rag doll, unsportsmanlike penalty, face mask, 5 gorgeous TDs, avoiding sacks, taking big sacks, toe drag swag... More. That game was a cornucopia of Josh Allen plays. me likey. Welcome to the JA experience Peter.

Might very well be true, but it just seems like we are making up stats accolades these days. So here is mine. Josh Allen is the first QB in NFL history to get called for an unsportsmanlike penalty, and a face mask penalty and still engineer a fourth quarter comeback.

The PI call hands down. Favorite play. For all the balls slung down range today, if memory serves, it was the only accepted PI call as the other one was wiped out by COVID ( that’s my explanation for anything that goes wrong this year. Oh, that was COVID).

1. You can’t wipe the smile off of my face tonight. 2. When have you ever seen a QB get a face mask call? 3. Diggs beat Jalen. Enough said. 4. Injuries galore for the Bills. Hyde, Brown, Addison, Dawkins were just the ones I remember. 5. O-line was a disaster in second half. Nice they got a 3rd quarter TD. 6. 300-400-300. Wow. Who’d thunk it. 7. Bass was steady 8. An awesome punt today. 9. Some big catches by Beasley. That 22 yarder was when I knew they would win. 10. Rams are scary good. Exposed Bills D for second week in a row.

Windy day, rookie kicker. Yikes. My prediction is Buffalo wins or loses on his foot today.

I was texting my son during the game. As this play happened all I could text was "omg, omg, omg". That play has been missing in Bills offense for two decades. The pure joy I felt from that play was indescribable.

I was over the moon when we grabbed him and then Edmunds. I was jumping up and down.. It was the two guys I targeted and I'm never right. I was onboard from the get go. He just struck me as a Buffalo QB. The one I completely got wrong was Lamar Jackson.
