ultimately, the Jaguars are somehow interesting now, and this is entertainment! So it's a big W for the Jaguars organization!

I bet we were trying to move up for Paye when he fell that far. We almost got him as it was.

Mahomes reminds me so much of Peyton Manning. Of course there are differences in their games (Mahomes is more mobile, but most QBs are) but both want the big chunk plays. Peyton wasn't thought of as having a strong arm, but he wanted big chunk passes, and that's why his teams struggled sometimes in the playoffs. You could take that away and force him to nickel and dime you, which frustrated him, and he would still try those throws and start making mistakes. Manning wanted to chuck it deep every play if he could. Brady would (and will) happily take 5, 7, 11, 7 , 10, 15, 7, and all of a sudden it's first and goal. Like Manning's teams, the Chiefs want to send their track stars on 45 yard routes. When it doesn't work their offense doesn't work (see the Super Bowl). Yes, the OL was an issue, but when they get frustrated they try to force things deep, thinking that any moment Hill will get open for a 60 yard TD. It works a lot of the time, so you can't blame them I guess. Hey, Peyton went to 4 Super Bowls and has 2 rings, so it worked out OK. Mahomes will probably get more cracks at rings in his career. He's already been to 2 Super Bowls in 3 seasons as a starter, and really should have been in 3 straight. How does this relate to Allen's game? To me, the most surprising thing is how Allen has quickly become a much more polished passer than most of us expected. He isn't just a super athletic big guy who can jump over LBers and chuck the ball 70 yards. He's still that, but now he also is becoming incredibly proficient in distributing the ball and protecting himself from taking those big shots. At the end of the day, if Allen continues on this trajectory the Bills are going to win a Super Bowl, because if you have a great HC (we do) and a top 5 QB (we very well might and maybe already do) then you're going to play in the big game at least once.

As crazy as it sounds, Allen might end up being as good or better than Mahomes. You would be swapping a great player for a great player at the same position. It really doesn't make sense to do that, unless it's a Russell Wilson for Aaron Rodgers type deal where both guys are unhappy and everyone ends up winning. BTW, how fun is it that this is a conversation, instead of arguing amongst ourselves over whether ________ is a "franchise QB"

Well, he makes the Lions interesting

Someone (I forget who the guest was, so I apologize) on WGR during One Bills Live before the draft was saying that Singletary had been working on his explosiveness and speed in the offseason, and he had gone from wanting the Bills to draft a RB to 100% on board with Singletary based on the results of his offseason work. I found that interesting... They were talking about whether you could really improve speed, and I guess (based on the conversation) that guys CAN add a little bit of speed in terms of top-end but really add explosiveness, which is more important 90% of the time.

For me, there's a handful: Colts: mostly due to Reich being there Chiefs: Andy Reid as a HC and I don't mind seeing young stars like Mahomes rack up accolades Packers: a classic team with great fans... too bad MGT can't keep star QBs happy there Cardinals: my second favorite team as a kid because I liked their helmet Rams: cool uniforms and I want to see Stafford finally enjoy some winning because he is a class act and totally underrated as a QB due to playing in DET

I assuming they are selling 100% of stadium capacity?

I don't love Thanksgiving games but at least it's on later

glad to see a 1T being brought in, although I preferred whoever the 350+ pound guy was someone mentioned 325 is still not too bad, especially at 6'3''

I would enjoy Dallas/Tampa

I am excited to see Stafford on the Rams. They could easily be a Super bowl contender. They were in the playoffs last year and gave Green Bay a game in the Divisional round.

The NFL LOVES putting the Bears on SNF I guess they love crazy score games like 18-12

I think Rodgers on the Steelers or Saints would be a lot of fun. Won't happen either way but a lot more fun than Denver.

I think it's going to be the Bills Cowboys are a huge draw whenever they play, so that game could be MNF or SNF later in the year. Bills are an exciting up and coming team, there's the history with Brady, and Bills/Bucs is a really interesting matchup.

Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence, Etienne, and Tebow make the Jaguars pretty interesting to watch! Before this season it would be work to watch a Jaguars game that didn't involve the Bills

How could a guy on the bubble prove that he was cut because he wasn't vaccinated?

Buffalo's climate is no different from any other northern city. Cold in the winter, beautiful in the summer.

True, it isn't the way I would want to do it, but if you keep getting to the playoffs you just never know. A flag that is not thrown (CLE/KC), a flag that is thrown (GB/TB), a bad snap at the wrong time (CLE/PIT) and the entire game can change. I wouldn't bet on a team like CLE or BAL winning it all, because as you said the margin is small, but if a couple breaks go their way they can absolutely win it all. The more talented team doesn't always in a single elimination scenario. Both Cleveland and Baltimore have plenty of talent, but also can become extremely dangerous if a few things go their way in a given game.

Baker is Alex Smith with an attitude. That will win you a lot of games, and given the right circumstances, could win you a Super Bowl. Football is a funny thing. A bad snap and a muffed punt and it could be 14-0 in a single elimination scenario. Suddenly the other team is pressing and Cleveland can run the ball, rush the passer like crazy on dense and Baker can throw 19/20 for 200 yards and they can easily win that game.

The NFC basically has: Rodgers Brady Wilson and a bunch of guys who either are inconsistent or unproven, or proven to be mediocre at best. If Rodgers wants to win 2-3 more Super Bowls the easiest path is in the NFC

If the writer of this article is literate, he has provided no evidence of it.

It was an amazing moment, taking down America's Team on a last minute miracle play. Kudos to them. Fun game. Didn't end up mattering at all to the Bills season. Or theirs, as it turned out.

My POV is why rush to help out an AFC rival? Keep our tackles and develop them. Cheap rookie contracts are what will be needed.

Brady is the perfect illustration of football being a team game. He went to TB and they assembled an all-star team because he wanted to throw to top notch WRs. Winston put up some really good numbers there, but kept throwing picks. Brady was the missing piece. Then they added Brown ad Gronk, who made his few plays when it mattered most. Teams win Super Bowls. Green Bay totally wasted its 2020 1st and 4th round draft picks on a QB who contributed nothing but a firestorm of drama. Does Winfield Jr. get beat for that TD right before half in the NFC Title Game? Instead, they have a guy who constantly gets scorched at CB. But they have a guy who they want to play QB "many years from now" in their words, standing there in a knit cap watching the game!
