Allen really needs to get into an early rhythm to settle down his nerves. This is where Daboll comes in.

I love it! MNF in January. FINALLY MNF will mean something again, instead of games like Detroit vs. Green Bay or Washington vs. Giants for the 800th time.

AZ Coyotes are going to spend $1.7 billion on a new arena/development project? That's a lot for their 10-15 fans.

All the arena rock groups are in their 70s so I wouldn't count on them.

Texans remind me of drought era Bills McCaffrey injured again... Never pay a RB.. just hope to catch lightning in a bottle during his rookie deal

Chiefs can score on any play. That's the killer. You can shut Hill down 45/46 plays. Then, late in the game he gets you on that 46th play for a 75 yard TD. Good news? Their defense is so bad you can also score on any play!

new motto on the practice squad: "I don't have to be the best OL here, just better than Bobby Hart!"

Yeah, that does look pretty open! I just hope Allen isn't freaking himself out too much. When I heard him say he throws up before every game and doesn't eat on gamedays I was a little taken aback. That just seems excessive in terms of being worked up. So much is said about him trying to calm himself down that there is definitely something to it. Now he's floating passes way short so he doesn't overthrow open guys and second guessing everything. I think this is all in his head.

I'll tell you one thing, Schopp on WGR is starting to feel it a little bit, dipping his toe into the "Allen was a mistake" water again. Last year he had to eat crow and go along Allen being an MVP type QB, and you could tell it was killing him, especially once we beat his beloved Lamar in the playoffs. His heart was never really in it. Now he seems more alive, more happy every afternoon. He's even getting back to having his analytics guys on to talk about how "this is who Allen is" every other show. If this goes on another 1-2 games he's going to come right out with it. But for now he's treading lightly, and it's hilarious to listen to on my long commute every evening.

Admittedly, I'm no coach, but it looks to me like if Allen throws the ball the defender can react and drift over to get in the way of that pass. Maybe he just plain missed one there.

Tua: Good news coach! My ribs are not broken! Coach: Then we haven't looked hard enough!

I'm back with another punting take! Imagine the Tom Brady of punters... Obsessive. Chip on his shoulder. Super into fitness and gives up pretty much everything else in life to be the NFL's greatest punter of all-time. Big difference is that he's super athletic to start with. He sets a goal: I want to play 30 years in the league. Play until he's 51-52, assuming he enters the league at age 21/22. Someone like that could possibly punt fairly effectively until he's 51-52, right? You almost never get hit, you even more rarely take any type of head shot. Basically it's a life of obsessive fitness and flexibility training where you punt a ball a few times on Sunday afternoons and make a few million bucks a year. You're never really under too much pressure, except for in your own end zone, so you're never winning or losing a game on a punt. Plus, once you hit 40, you'll have all that punting knowledge and experience to draw from. Downside... There's only so much glory a punter can have, but you could play a (small) part in winning a bunch of Super Bowls along the way, especially if you play 30 seasons. As I'm writing I'm realizing 30 seasons sounds insane, but Tom Brady is playing his 21st season right now at a position that takes a lot more punishment than a punter, and he looks better than he did 10 years ago.

I think he's in his own head. Trying to live up to the contract, be the QB who wins a Super Bowl here, all of that. IMO this is why he looked so great in preseason action. No pressure, no reason to be tight. That's my concern, because big goals= pressure situations.

It looks bad at the end, but that safety would have drifted back to the WR if Josh threw it to the end zone, IMO. Now, he might have been able to gun it in there, but I it wouldn't have looked so wide open had the ball not been thrown to the sideline.

True... I guess it would be like an option punt. Punt/Pass or punt/run. Then again, you're right that there's probably a good reason this hasn't been tried by some sleep deprived special teams coach who spent too many hours at the facility! LOL

He's plenty fast enough, and I've always loved his elusiveness, work ethic and attitude . He was great his rookie season, then had a bit of a down year last year when we didn't run anyway, and then he trained like a madman to get faster and its paying off. I'm happy to see it! His recent success is well-deserved.

the punting game is a place where we could see the next evolution... Imagine a punter who could take the snap and start running, then either pass, keep running past the line of scrimmage, or punt while on the run with accuracy.... That would be a PIA to defend

It was a textbook clean hit.

Your badge is in the mail, officer!

Josh Allen went 20/26 for 194 yards and 2 TD vs the Packers in the final preseason game. So he's the same guy he was last season, except coverages and defenses have adjusted. Now the Bills need to counter. It's about being your best in February and winning a championship, so figure it out now and get some W's, then peak when the stakes are highest.

Josh Allen went 20/26 for 194 yards and 2 TD vs the Packers in the final preseason game. So he's still the same Josh Allen, it's just that defenses are scheming up ways to disrupt the Bills passing attack. You want the team to peak in January/December. This is glorified preseason right now. I saw this on a Patriots message board, and I though it was an interesting stat: In 6 super bowl winning seasons, the Patriots went: 2-0 twice 1-1 three times 0-2 once So the key is to bank these wins early, by any means necessary, then be hitting on all cylinders come December and January (and hopefully February!)

Lions imploding

He just basically said it's some type of adult beverage... Lol

Gentlemen, were tied for the #1 spot with KC and LV leads the west

Sweet run!
