It's traditional alright, like Sid Luckman traditional.

I love Allen. I think he was a great pick and has a chance to be the best QB out of that draft class when all is said and done a decade from now. But it all hinges on those kinds of passes. I said in another thread, he realistically left 17 points on the field. That game could've been a blowout if he hits those throws. And that's all on him. He didn't get any help in the short and intermediate game from his receivers and I think people are confusing the two. Those 20+ throws are all on him. Like you said, clean pocket, open receiver. If he's going to be a franchise QB and take this team to the playoffs and to the Super Bowl year after year, he has to figure out how to start hitting those throws.

Uh... ok? Where did I say they did? Killed us, as in could've been the difference in the game, as in we win instead of lose. But hey, thanks for your insight.

It's killed us in all 4 losses that's for sure.

Josh played like garbage and Daboll reverted back to early season Daboll. His only answer for Cover 0 is to throw deep. The 49ers showed the Ravens defense is weak on the edges and I think we called one or two plays that exploited that weakness. If Josh can start hitting those 20+ throws even 25% of the time he's a franchise QB and we win that game by 10. The long sacks also have to stop, those are inexcusable at this point in his career.

But he's a great pass catching back that you could put in a two RB backfield. Buffalo's biggest problem on offense is our inability to attack the edge. The 49ers racked up yards on the edges of that Ravens defense. We are so condensed that it makes it really easy to call Cover 0 and blitz Allen all day. McKenzie, Yeldon, Singletary and Foster (just because I wouldn't want Brown to take the punishment) should all be heavily involved in the offense in short screens, quick outs etc. because at some point you have to spread the defense out. You have to make them respect the whole field, not just between the hashes.

So you'd have rather needed the two points with :57 left in the game if they scored on the pass to Brown? I think the only reason anyone questions it is because Dan Fouts is a moron.

F. He must figure out his accuracy beyond 20 yards for this team to be successful against playoff caliber teams. That's all there is to it. And as we approach year 3 he has to stop taking sacks the way he does. Throw the ball away. I'd say he left up to 17 points on the field yesterday with the two missed passes downfield that were open and the sack that took us out of field goal range. Yes his supporting cast was also awful but to truly be the guy he has to rise above it.

I guess he didn't have the need for REVENGE.

Where Josh tries to avoid contact is where I feel like he is most vulnerable. That's when guys still come in and deliver a shot to the head. Running backs don't get hurt all that much considering how many times they carry the ball and that's be cause they are the aggressor, they are initiating contact, they can anticipate a hit and protect themselves. Going out of bounds is Josh's best bet but if he's in the open field he needs to just run it like Gore. Lower the shoulders, two hands on the ball, run some people over because if he slides before contact it's almost a sure thing that someone is going to dive for his head and neck.

Can't be mad about people's opinions. There's people in here saying the weather sucks. Well I lived in SW Florida for nearly 10 years and personally, I think their weather sucks. No change in season, deadly storms and so ***** hot you sit inside like it's a blizzard or something. It's overcrowded, expensive and all around pretty terrible. Unless you love to boat, fish or are a lizard man of some sort it ain't that great. I personally love WNY. Other people have different opinions and that's OK. That's why this country is great, something for everyone.

OK Boomer. Another aspect of the college game I love is paying attention to the guys you know are going to come up to the NFL. The NFL is very star player driven, and to watch these guys stories start from before the draft is great. Having been someone who watched Houston and Ed Oliver crush Lamar Jackson in college gives a nice perspective to this game and maybe more hope than some of the older, cynical, miserable fans.

College is far more entertaining to watch. Aside from watching the Bills, I can't sit and watch an NFL game all the way through. This year especially, the prime time games have just been awful for the most part. People arguing against college because of blow outs must only get small market teams playing big schools on TV because there have been a ton of great, marquee match ups this year. The rivalries aren't manufactured like they are in the NFL. The overtime rule is far superior. I've watched a few triple and quadruple overtime games in my time and they are INTENSE. The targeting rule is excellent and you will see it come to the NFL if they are serious about player safety. What costs you playing time in college will cost you money in the NFL and possibly suspensions if you're a repeat offender. While you can have a defensive slugfest in college, the rules are geared towards offenses scoring points. Isn't that what the NFL tries to do every year?

Clutch gene, sure, Elway but athletically he is Steve Young.

Hmmm... section 27 seems to be missing... We share both so good call on my part. No wonder she didn't want to be on the mortgage.

Been a long time since our team was the one that could run their mouths a little. Loved it.

I am curious though, does the fact that I purchased a home recently significantly reduce the risk of my wife stabbing me?

It's about time we're good enough that someone on OUR team is talking ***** for once.

Moon McNabb McNair Vick Williams Culpepper and Cunningham with Williams is kind of a toss up at 5. I'll give the Super Bowl MVP the benefit of the doubt. Yes, yes I was.

I think Jim will be a great influence/has been a great influence on Josh. My favorite part is Jim telling Josh CALL YOUR OWN PLAY. He's right in Josh needs to take control of this thing. He's a humble kid, you can tell he was raised right and he might be shying away from telling Daboll how he wants it, especially with Daboll screaming in his face a couple times this year. Josh is the leader of the offense whether Daboll is here or not. As Jim said, communication with the rest of the offense, being confident in what he's seeing. He has the acumen and the talent he just needs to continue to build the confidence.

I adopted the Gators myself during my first time living in Florida in 2004. Bills weren't on TV often and I needed a team to watch for my football fix. College is opposite because a lot of people go to school in Florida so you end up with kids and parents that all become fans of that program. They just don't start going to Rays and Dolphins games.

Sports in Florida has nothing to with the weather and everything to do with it being a place comprised of people from other places. Most people down there are fans of the teams from where they came and have no interest in rooting for the Florida teams.

Even if he did, doesn't excuse violently assaulting someone with a weapon.

Lamar takes some shots at the end of runs sometimes. I'm torn on the whole sliding thing, seems like that's when QBs get hit the worst. Either need to slide early or take the guy on IMO.

Child abuse isn't a joke.
