Brady is someone Allen studies and looks up to. You can already see it in his game. Be smart, survive. Allen has learned to take the small stuff this season, and look what it did for the entire offense.

Most QBs are rhythm passers... You know by the first couple of drives the type of game most QBs will have.

Culley and the televangelist are both embarrassing hires for the Texans. They have put themselves in this position. Watson wanted Bienemy, so hiring the guy who was thought of as a top-notch coaching prospect (however he interviews) AT LEAST gets the preacher some good PR and makes Watson happy. Instead, they made the most ridiculous hire they could in a guy who at age 65 has never even been a coordinator, and wasn't a serious candidate anywhere. they HAD to know how this was going to go.

Great, high fireworks offenses really seem to struggle in the SB lately. Even last year, KC was held down for 3/4 of the game until Mahomes connected with Hill on a ridiculous low % play that if it didn't work would have been game. I think part of it is that "fancy offenses" tense up when it doesn't go well. They are used to everything working, and when it doesn't they get tight.

RIP Marty... Awesome guy and one of the truly underrated coaches of all time. WP should be ashamed of themselves for a headline like that. EDIT: if you click the link the headline is already different. I think they heard some feedback on the original.

Mahomes has really taken a beating early in his career. Eventually those take their toll, no matter how gifted you are. Allen has stayed fairly healthy, as QBs go. Let's hope he can continue to protect himself, which he did a very good job of this season.

I was fully expecting the mixture of darkness, hopelessness and irritation that usually comes with a Tom Brady SB win... I turned the game off with 2 minutes to go, unable to watch the trophy presentation that I typically enjoy. But I was surprised to find in the aftermath that the game actually made me feel BETTER. It's weird. I think it's because we have a great team to cheer FOR. And it wasn't New England and Belichick in the SB. Bruce Arians, Tampa, new guys. Not the same old boring team winning year after year by a field goal. And we have Josh Allen and an exciting, great young team. WE can be the ones to knock the champs off, and that includes KC in the AFC. Totally changes everything. I'm not "hoping KC wins so 20 years from now when the GOAT talk comes up..." Screw KC! WE will win! We've got a real shot. And Josh Allen is definitely good enough to win a SB or 2.

My dream come true!

If the cost of stadium materials is anything like buying lumber at Lowes or Home Depot this might not be the time

It's weird... Brady won but I don't feel that bad. I'm not glad but after the way the Chiefs acted in the AFC Title Game I'm not sad either. Plus it was Tampa and Arians not NE and Belichick. Will I actually root for him vs NE next season? I cannot wait for that game. It's going to be an existential moment.

That's what I'm talking about!

Something has to be done with/about the stadium at some point in the relatively near future, so I think the timing is based on that.

Yeah, that makes some sense. The preacher is in a tough spot, because that team is horrible and will continue to be horrible with a ridiculous HC hire and no draft picks. What free agent is going to want to go there under these conditions? You just went 4-12 with Watson. There's not much to work with in Houston. He could cash in on Watson and get back a whole bunch of talent and picks. Or use some of the picks to trade for rostered players on other teams uninvolved with the Watson trade.

Yup, and when he faced the kind of pressure Allen faced, we saw Sugar Rush Pat

That's why I think the Texans would win any trade. Watson is talented, no doubt, but the return they would get would be nuts. Would you rather have Jordan Love, Sam Darnold and 5 1st round picks in the next 2 seasons, or a malcontent version of Watson?

What about this: 3 way trade between the Texans, Packers and Jets: Jets get: Aaron Rodgers Packers get: Watson Texans get: Jets 2021 1st round pick (2nd overall) Jets 2021 1st round pick (23rd overall) Sam Darnold Jordan Love Packers 2021 1st round pick (29 overall) Packers 2022 1st round pick Packers 2023 1st round pick. Jets give up Darnold and 2 1sts for Rodgers. Packers give up Rodgers, Love and 3 1sts for Watson. Texans end up with 5 1st round picks and Sam Darnold and Love. That trade hurts a bit for the Packers, but they get an elite talent at QB to put on an already good team. I bet the televangelist running the Texans would say "NOPE! Watson plays here or for nobody!"

Texans win any trade they make, and I don't worry about long-term precedent. That organization sounds so dysfunctional that it's a rare situation. Any trade that Houston would go for if they decided to make a trade would be ridiculous, and would get rid of a headache while infusing a HUGE amount of talent and draft picks into the organization.

Don't know a ton about him, but be sounds interesting from what I'm reading.

Playing against Brady in a single-elimination game gets into guys' heads. It's one thing to play him in October, where you're guaranteed a game next week no matter what. the aura is there, but not the same way. But when it's the playoffs or Super Bowl, it is very very hard to beat his teams, because they will not beat themselves.

Texans win any conceivable Watson trade, given the ridiculous return they can expect. Figure out a way to turn this into a win for your pathetic organization if you're the Texans. You have no draft picks, you have a priest and a 65 year old first time head coach running the show. Any current or former star player is unloading on your organization. Trying to force Watson to play is not going to end well. BUT Accepting reality and cashing in enormously is the move here. Which means they will force Watson to join a prayer circle and play for the Texans in 2021. And it will get very ugly, very quickly, and put a spotlight on what a disaster that team has become.

Chiefs are a finesse team of trash talkers and front runners. They are like a more cocky version of the old Manning Colts teams.

The issue I have with the refs is that calls are totally inconsistent, from week to week and even in the games. Either way, Tampa was clearly the better team and they won, which as much as I can't stand Brady takes a lot of the sting out of seeing him win. I turned the game off with 2 minutes to go. Couldn't watch the trophy presentation. Still, a lot of those NE teams won by field goals or stupidity by the other team (Seattle, Atlanta). Those were gut wrenching. Plus it's NE. This one was "meh" because Tampa obviously was the better team, so you really can't be too mad.

You really can't go wrong drafting solid linemen. OL play around the league is not great, so it's a huge advantage when you have good lines.

I didn't say we didn't have any size. I want to ADD more to what we have! Especially at DT. Can you honestly say that the thought of a 340+ pound DT lining up on our DL next year doesn't make you smile?

Interesting, but I think Darnold gets another shot to start somewhere next year.
