People are too hard on Lamar. He doesn’t play the position like anybody else, but he also has a totally different skill set. He misses some stuff here and there, but he’s a good passer even if he misses some reads. He’s got the legs to make up for it at the moment.

I’ll take the under on that.

I think they’ll sort themselves out. They have in the past. For whatever reason the Chiefs seem to either be in these wild shoot outs or their defense is playing tough. They’re rarely steadfast.

Question. How do the pit of bounds rules work. On that catch he hurdled the defender. Feet landed inbounds. Defender so contact and his knees touch then his hip up land out of bounds. In theory wouldn’t he be down in bounds not out?

Holy crap. What a terrible INT. I’m laughing hysterically. Looks like it is going to be a long night for KC.

A couple things. He didn’t get up then flex. He flexed while on him. I don’t think the flag was thrown for that because it happened quick. He was flagged for being on top of him, flexing, then yelling at him while he was still on top of him. I hated the call, but it wasn’t undeserved either. That one is on Wallace not the refs

Jesus. I didn’t watch, is Jacksonville totally terrible as a team, or is Lawrence particularly bad? 14/33 114 yards, 2 INT, 1 TD

I thought he deserved a game ball today. He’s been plying well.

Tom Brady grew up in a different league than the one he plays in now. Comparatively to each others peers, Brady was better in the early 2000’s NFL than Allen was in the 2020 era. He won two Super Bowls and was top 10 in nearly every metric since he took the helm. He lead the league in TD passes his first full year as a starter. We are fine sticking with Allen through bumps. He’ll be fine, we will be fine. We have to be. But pulling up an excel sheet and blindly comparing Allen to Brady at any point in their careers is an incredibly bad and inaccurate take.

I swear I saw a shot of him with his helmet on, on the sideline at the start of the half. I think Tua could have played but decided to run with Brissett for a handful of reasons. The two biggest being Brissett was playing as well Tua and Buffalo was kicking the crap of whoever was behind center. Playing Tua would have ensured that he missed a week.

Brady won 2 Super Bowls in his first 4 years as a starter….

I noticed it, and I love it. I think we are better in 3 LB sets.

I want to give a game ball to the entire D but there were stand outs. AJE Milano Taron Johnson Knox

Well…Allen blows this first half. That has nothing to do with number of attempts. Not sure that’s even debatable I have been pounding the table all week that the issue is and has not been run specific with this team, it’s their ability to consistently pick up 3-5 yards with high efficiency. Outside of one giant run, Singletary has not been reliable for that…at all. The Bills are going to struggle against a very physical Washington defense as well. As we’ve said in the past. This team runs through Allen. He’s had 6 bad quarters, and 6 bad offensive performances.

Wh Where are you placing this? I could be convinced.

He was open so much last week. It’s super tempting

I posted something similar a few weeks ago. I like Beane. I think he’s don’t a good job of building a team. I think his predecessor was better at building a roster. 10 times out of 10 I’ll take the team guy. Our depth chart is old, especially for key contributors and starters. Our starting WRs average age is 31. All last year we talked about how an aging Star L. would be this teams saving grace for 2021. Our best players, sans Allen, are previous regimes picks or FA. Tre, Poyer, Hyde, Hughes, Dawkins, and Milano. Are all the previous FO. I love me some Josh, he is the shinning star in the draft classes. I think Davis and Oliver are going to have great careers. And I think Edmunds should stick around but only for the right price. But they have to do better at getting draft picks to make a bigger impact.

It’s not a huge shock. I know we call the team “young” but we aren’t. This FO have filled a lot of holes through FA. Basically the entire OL sans Dawkins, plus most of the WR room. Jordan and Poyer are FA pickups pre Beane. Hughes, Star, Klein, and Addison are all up there in age and seeing significant playing time.

This was the Tom Brady way for a while there. Step 1. Be Tom Brady Step 2. Get Old Step 3. Drop a couple games early in the season Step 4. Win the rest of your games Step 5. Win Super Bowl

But how does he look in shorts?

I am not considering Flores or Miami to be some defensive juggernaut, but this is also only his 3rd year and he inherited one of the worst defenses in the league in year one, that made large strides in year two. It isn't wild to think that they will be better in year 3 on that side of the ball. I am not predicting a Bills loss by any means. This is fair, and I agree, they are not generally a physical defense. I am just sort of thinking into the future with Flores at the helm.

I think that people underestimate the Dolphins. Are the great? No. But I think they will be a very strong contender for a WC this season. Given the trouble the Bills have had with physical defenses, I think Flores and the Dolphins are a team to keep an eye on going forward given his time at New England. Prior to last years million hold outs in NE McD has never put up 20 points on BB. I wouldn't be shocked if MIA gave us more trouble this year. The best thing going for Buffalo is Josh> Tua. Prediction, Bills cover the spread. 28-23.

I agree, I liked the kid last year and was hoping he could become available to back up Josh. I still do next year if Mitch finds a new gig.

It is always odd to me when Fox has the rights to games, and has such huge areas (either pop or square miles) with no games what so ever. Like why not just put the Bills game on in Burlington? Or NO vs. CAR in Vegas?

I always liked Heinicke. I think he is a quality back up. In fact, I hope either WFT is the back up to Josh next year if Mitch takes off.
