I can access the All-22 for the Jets game and previous games, except for the Falcons game - just that one game. I just tried again and still can't. Have you been able to access the All-22 for that specific game? Edit: Apparently others also cannot access it I am now trying to figure out how to access the International Version.... Edit: I am looking at the International Version and it says it does not offer coaches film...WTF?

I haven't been able to find anything, but there has to be. How did they do the All-22 grades on the Bills / Falcons game when it is still unavailable on gamepass? I am also interested in how to access this version...

I really hate the change in format. With that said, when you select sideline or endzone view and then click the blue arrow, it will switch to the All-22. Then you can expand the drives below in the game summary and then click on the blue arrow next to the specific play you want to see. As you scroll down, the viewing window for replay is in the lower right corner. You can expand it to full screen to view the play if you want. When the play is done, it will continue showing each play in succession from that point. You have to go to the specific play you want to view in the drive summary to watch it - unless you just want to start at the beginning and go through each play. It is absolute awful in terms of being user friendly. It is one of the things I have enjoyed since Game Pass 1st came out. It is now less enjoyable. They still haven't made the All-22 available for the Bills / Atlanta game

Here is a more indepth look at those games.

The thing about playing in sub-freezing temperatures is that both QBs /teams have to do it. In the two losses, Allen drove the Bills 50 yards for the go ahead FG against the Jets, only to have the defense give up a game winning TD drive in the last two minutes; and against the Pats*** Allen drove them 60 yards in the last few minutes of the game only to turn it over on downs the NE 9 - coming up short on a game tying TD

I'm not sure it will happen. However, I think it makes sense for the playoffs

I think you are spot on. If they can get consistent pressure with four guys, they will make it a very tough game for Allen and the offense. It is nice to see the Bills have had their best offensive linemen available, healthy, and playing together for a few games. If they can just play up to their abilities, this team can beat any team they face.

This is pretty much where I am at. I think the Cam comparison revolves around the fact that they are similar in size. Like Cam, Allen is fearless as runner and can be very physical. But, IMO, Allen is actually a more athletic runner than Cam was and the passing game between the two isn't even close. There certainly are some similarities (certain abilities and/or traits) to to Favre, Elway, and Young, but, to me, not great comparisons. From a complete QB perspective (both running and passing), I think he may be the most physically gifted QB to ever play in the NFL. Add in his work ethic, general intellect, and football IQ and he may have a higher ceiling than I've ever seen in a QB. Will he reach it? I have no idea. But it is going to be fun watching him on his journey.

I think you would do well to trust your instincts....

This is the second thread this season about a Beasley "outburst" on the sideline that seems to be much ado about nothing...

That may be. That wasn't my point. I was responding to your post in which you indicated that you believe Arians' behavior before and during the game was f***** up, with no mention of Brown's behavior. My point was that I wasn't there so I have no idea if Arians' behavior was in the right, in the wrong, or somewhere in between. The same with Brown. In other words, I don't have ALL of the information at this time to know.

Well, I wasn't present during their interactions so I don't have the necessary information to condemn or absolve either one regarding responsibility for what happened.

Sometimes specific symptoms might be managed with medications; however, there are no medications to specifically treat Borderline Personality Disorders. Like all personality disorders, it is a fairly fixed framework within which people view themselves, others, and the world around them that is rooted more in developmental factors than structural or genetic factors (such as Bipolar Disorder). I have no idea what is at the core of Antonio Brown's behavior and, without indepth interviewing and testing, nobody does. If his issues are primarily in the personality disorder arena, my guess would be it is squarely in the Cluster B range and centering around pathological narcissism with some histrionic borderline, and antisocial traits (and, just another guess, probably some related traits involving paranoia and psychopathy). Unfortunately, there are no medications to fix that. Structural / chemical issues are another story...

It was the play before the missed PI that, to me, symbolized how close this team was to being 12-4 / 13-3 right now, and how the NFL literally is a game of inches sometimes. Allen scrambles and lays out to get the ball to the pylon, only to have stepped out of bounds. I'm not disputing that he did step out (probably twice). I just think this play exemplifies just how close those close games were. An inch or two difference and this is a highlight score. If he gets this score and gets that 1st down in the Tenn game (and scores), it is a completely different scenario and narrative heading into the playoffs - and Allen's chances at MVP. That close...

All I remember about 2000 is starting my descent into the Buffalo Bills' 17 circles of hell...

Good story 🤣. I ended up in NC in the mid 80s as a result of my job. Much of NC was just like that. Met my wife here and we live in Wake Forest, about 20 minutes from Durham. It has grown a lot since I first moved here, but still a great place. My son, who never spent any time in the Buffalo area (other than to visit relatives), grew up to be a die hard Bills fan as well. Poor bastard. Actually, he's now grown, married, and living in another state, but we still talk 2-3 times a week and after every game. To bring this post back to being on topic, he was the one who told me to watch Allen's interview on that pass attempt to Diggs. He and I were on the phone together the night the Bills drafted Allen and we were both happy. His earliest recollections of the Bills were after their SB run and most of his time as a fan has been miserable. I think what makes me happiest about the Bills right now is that my son has Allen and a true SB contending team to root for. Go Bills!

It's all good, brother. I wasn't correcting you as much as clarifying. I believe most people were thinking the same thing, including me, until I listened to Allen - and then went back and looked at it again. As I said, I appreciate your posts

Loved Allen from the beginning. Already my favorite Bills player ever and I have followed this team for a long time.

Haha! I should know better... I wish there was an emoji that captured the essence of, "you are absolutely insane"

I'm not sure if anything matters more than producing and winning. Allen has won 10+ games and made the playoffs in each of his first three full seasons as a starter and took his team to the AFCCG last year. During that time, only Rodgers produced more TDs, only Mahomes and Brady produced more yards, and only Rodgers, Mahomes, and Brady won more games. He accounts for a higher percentage of his teams offensive yards and touchdown than any player in the NFL. Only 7 players in NFL history produced more total yards in their first 60 games, and only three players in NFL history produced more TDs in their first 60 games.

What's crazy is that Allen has the: 2nd highest 4th quarter completion % 2nd highest 4th quarter QB rating 6th highest QB rating inside the opponent's 10 yard line 4th most 2nd half TD passes 6th most 4th quarter TD passes 10th most passes completed late in close games And is 0-5 in close games

Yep. It has been a strange year for the Bills in close games and out of character with performances of Allen and the team in close games over the last four years.

Except that the were, in fact, losing (and did lose) in six of their games. I absolutely agree that 4 of the 6 losses were by inches. That was one of my points. The Tenn and Tampa games were literally inches from wins. Allen and the team get those and there is a completely different narrative surrounding Allen and the Bills right now. For me, it is a double edged sword in how I feel going into the playoffs. On one hand, I feel they are much better than their record, as they probably should have won a couple of those close games. On the other hand, even though they probably should have won a couple, they didn't. For whatever reason, the have not had good luck this year in close games. Regardless, I am still confident going into the playoffs.

I posted this in another thread regarding MVP voting. If you look at one factor this year that goes toward overall success in the performance of Allen and the team, it is close games. If you look at the top 9 QBs this year, every one of them has at least 2 game winning drives - except Allen. Allen has 0 4th quarter comebacks and 0 GWD. Of 28 QBs with at least 11 starts, he is 1 of only 4 who do not have at least 1 GWD (Wentz, Mayfield, and Wilson being the others). Compare that with what he did in his previous 3 years. If Allen pulls out just two of them, Tenn and TB (where he was in a great position to do so), and, right now, he would have 2 4QC and 2 GWD, the Bills would have a 12-4 record, they would have won the AFC East, and own the #1 Seed. Even with the performance in the Atlanta game, I believe he would be in the running for MVP. I'm certainly not putting all the blame for the losses in close games on Allen. I just think this year has been an anomaly for him and, for me, the greatest concern going into the playoffs: They just haven't been able to pull out wins in close games.

I absolutely agree that Allen should be in the discussion. He accounts for more of his team's offensive yards and points and than any other player. IMO, he should legitimately be in the discussion. As to your second point, I believe that Rodger's actions that led to his unavailability is something that is relevant as it can be argued it directly affected on field results. I think that is intellectually consistent with what my stance has been.

I think it essentially is an award for being the best player on one of one of the top teams. I personally think it should be the player that is most valuable to his team - and part of that would have to revolve around winning. However, any way that we try to define it, it always revolves around play on the field, and that has been my primary point.
