  1. Ridiculous. There were multiple Vikings there….at least 3 maybe 4. The Bills had no issues with time, down and distance or field position. 26 was standing alone in front of an open field. Beyond that, an incompletion, failed run, successful run or even a sack were far better options than what he did.
  2. I agree with most of this but not the premise that being a 40M QB comes with a short leash. It makes the leash impossibly long because he is locked up for so long and eats the cap. Short leash? No way. Want a negative opinion on Allen? The fans and organization supported him from the jump. There were negative reports about his abilities, ridiculous rumors of racist tweets, early career flashes of brilliance and of shortcomings, but we locked in on him as our guy pretty quickly. Contrast that with Eichel who also came into a rough situation but gradually decided to handle it by being a prick, helping create a toxic losing culture, ultimately pouting his way out of town and saying stupid/ugly things after the fact. Allen did some great things on and off the field and he was rewarded not only with money but with heretofore unseen showering of emotions from what was already known as one of the most loyal fan bases on the planet. Fans showed him so much love that a wing of a hospital is now named for his grandmother. This off season was full of F1 racing, celebrity golf and national endorsement deals. Hoo-ray. But…..this season has thus far been full of a return to sugar high Josh. Josh is very likable and I doubt anyone begrudges him his celebrity and I doubt anyone would want to watch a prick like Eichel play golf or have him sell their product. But the fact remains that he has won exactly nothing and maybe being a celebrity was more of the end goal than winning because he sure tried to be one all day yesterday when all he had to do at certain times was be normal. He out “dumb played” Cousins which is difficult. Win something, then be a celebrity dude. That way you know how to win. There were 100 things that could have changed the result of yesterday’s game and not all of them involved Allen, but on multiple occasions all he had to do was something normal. A check down….a throw away….pay attention during a friggin snap. But…..sugar high instead. Right now has to be the turning point. Either Allen grows up and becomes a QB of a team instead of trying to be everything on every play or the heart ripping we all experienced yesterday will last another decade or more. Which would be harder to take, throwing away a prick like Eichel or watching Allen be capable of doing all the difficult things and fail/refuse to learn how to do the easy things? The season is not over. The Allen era is not over. But what is clear is that Allen hasn’t actually done the things a winner does to correct the mistakes of the past. He has talked about it enough and said all the right things. I believe his intentions are the right ones, but he simply has not taken the actions to correct what should be relatively easy things. We can have a thousand healthy safeties and corners all we want but without Allen being smart to at least some degree, we won’t win 3-4 post season games in a row. Shirley you’re not blaming Gabe for that pick.
  3. As a professional it is his job to either tell the full story or just leave out the tantalizing innuendo. Maybe he identifies as a teenage girl because a lot of his tweets seem to indicated he missed out on gossip in high school and is making up for lost time.
  4. They just showed a flag in the stadium and it was the same as the one the Hasselhoff team in Dodgeball used. Euros are weird.
  5. Tripping? He straight up,kicked him just like he did a few weeks ago.
  6. Normally the field remains pristine after 90 minutes of soccer? Almost as if it were just a bunch of guys prancing around.
  7. NFL breaking yup the Germans in slowly with a familiar 0-0 score just like their beloved “sport”.
  8. It’s called Zappe hour in your neck of the woods.
  9. They all morphed into Bjork.
  10. The Prodigal Son is drawn from an ancient parable of the Particle Sun which was actually very insightful and shows that long dead societies knew more than we realized even if their science wasn’t fully developed. I explained it here a while back and you might be able to find it. I’ll summarize: The best way to describe light for the ancients was as a concentrated force residing within the sun. They theorized that not all of the sun’s energy was concentrated on Earth but that much of it went elsewhere. When some of this light missed the Earth it was destined to be gone forever……but……some small percentage…..a few particles….bounced off other nearby objects, primarily planets. These planets, of course, do not generate their own light. That light came from the sun but was only a small portion of the whole. Mars, for instance, could not be given credit although it seemed to shine in the night sky. These particles of light that bounced off Mars and allowed us to see it became known as the particle sun. They had passed Earth by and yet returned. You can see how the Prodigal Sun is an offshoot of this. At some point we came to “know” that light is not made of particles, but of waves, then it became unclear again and really isn’t completely understood even to this day. It is an example of how ancient wisdom holds up over long periods sometimes even if inexact. The Bible did a good job of taking this ancient parable and applying it to the human condition, so call Frank the Prodigal Son is appropriate but the Particle Sun is the origin and also applies.
  11. You are aware that parts of the Bible were drawn from pre-existing parables correct?
  12. We currently hold the number one seed and it’s hard to be optimistic? Were you hoping for the zero seed through 8 games? The negative 3 seed? The particle sun returns.
  13. TBH I didn’t think that even you would revel in an injury and come here to mock Case Keenum but Pats fans gotta Pats fan I suppose.
  14. I have a feeling they will be very impressive vs. Austin Peay and will fly up the rankings.
  15. He won’t have to explain anything because they will be in the playoff again. Just wait.
  16. How will Bama manage to get excuse-me’d into the tournament this year? It should be interesting. Maybe they will get bonus points for scheduling that tough home game against Austin Peay coming up soon.
