Sammy Watkins' Rib

We did see terrible Brady. About six weeks ago. But the Patriots ran up close to 300 yards on us. Brady can still be efficient at times but he is now reliant on a good supporting casts around him. Problem is, last time he was this reliant on a good supporting cast, the Patriots had one as they usually do and they won a Super Bowl.

A number one WR who has never been higher than #3 or #4 on the depth chart? By his logic I must be a practice squad WR.

Good thing he has already climbed over that mole hill.

Oh. Good to know. Probably would have won if Tannehill played.

Was he not he Dolphins QB when Ajayai rushed for 200+ yards and the Dolphins won in overtime at New Era a couple years ago?

Pats ML Pats/Chiefs Over (Didn't bet this but wish I did). Might bet it if I miss on the the early game. Rams +5 Rams/Saints Under (Actually bet the over but I am now thinking I should have taken the under but will let it ride for now.) I expect a Patriots win but I don't think it will be a beat down. KC's offense is too good to allow that. And on top of that they are playing at home. I'm expecting a high scoring game. Exactly how I am seeing them minus the Chiefs winning. Kicking myself for taking the over in the early game.

A light went off for Allen after the injury and bye week. It didn't exactly show up in his raw passing stats and numbers, yards, percentage etc. But you can tell the game had slowed down for him. The number of sacks he took dropped significantly. He saw things better. He was realizing when to use his legs. If he can win 5 games as a rookie completing 53% of his passes then it's not too hard to imagine him winning 9+ consistently when he gets the number up to 59-60%. In terms of a passer I think he is going to be a lot like Cam Newton. We will be frustrated at times with his inconstancy but at the end of the day, he'll have the talent to win 12-14 games and put together an MVP type season. He just won't ever be a 62%+ completion guy consistently.

Fred Jackson. Dude was legit. I really think he could have been a featured three down back. Like Matt Forte. Possibly better than Forte. But we drafted Lynch. And then foolishly drafted Spiller when we already had a reliable playmaker in Jackson.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. See Chad Pennington too as an example.

First off, that’s a bold claim for someone who’s been on here for less than two weeks. Are you a closet Jets fan? Second, Josh Allen is 5-6 as a starter. Sam Darnold is 4-9 as a starter. You are what your record says you are indeed.

I don't think that was the case really. Most of the hits he took were inside the red zone I thought. Looking to try to score. Maybe earlier in the season he took a lot of hits outside the red zone? But it seemed like after the bye he was gaining huge chunks of yards with ease and just as easily sliding and giving himself up early.

You know it's only a matter of time before the Michael Jordan of the NFL shows up. A guy who can pass as good as Brady, Brees and Rodgers but has wheels like Mike Vick. Not Saying Allen will be that guy but a guy like that will come around eventually. And Allen isn't a running QB. He's a QB that can run. And he can run at an efficiency we've perhaps never seen before.

To hell with accuracy. If Allen can continue to take what the defense gives him with his legs he won't ever need to be a 60%+ completion guy. We can win with him at 58-59% completion. With that said, I don't think it is unreasonable to think he wont get to 60-62% if we dial back the long pass attempts a bit and he just progresses a little as he should with more experience. And how about this stat: Allen 11 Games Started 2 4QC's 3 GWD's 7.1 ypr Darnold 13 Games Started 1 4QC 1GWD 3.1ypr One's a play maker and makes things happen. The other not as much. Darnold's actually not that bad. I think his one 4th QC was against us unfortunately and he did make a great play with his legs keeping the play alive. He does have some of that ability. But I don't think he will ever be on Allen's play making level. He won't put pressure on a defense like Allen will.

Very true. I can't imagine Allen ever pouting during or after a game.

Our guy is more athletic than Cam though which surprised the heck out of me. It say's most players gave their responses to the poll in November. Not a surprise that Allen wouldn't poll well. Allen mostly played like garbage up to that point.

Sounds like another guy on our team.

Hopefully this means Bills QB's continue to dominate against Gase coached teams.

Yeah but then you have to play baseball. Gouge your eyeballs out in Right Field.

Murray = Mayfield? So they can expect 7 or 8 wins next year?

I can't believe Renfrow is still at Clemson. I remember thinking he would be a great addition back when Watson won the Championship with Clemson. Wouldn't mind drafting him at all. Exactly. Even if it will never be the strength of Allen's game it's not like we aren't going to call those plays multiple times a game. If anything we should call more of them next season. I recall at least a couple times last year when we would throw 15+ yards down the field 3-4 straight times including on third and fourth downs when all we needed to do was pick up 7 or 8 yards.

Wait, so Peters never played LT for us?

I agree. I also am strong believer in having the low end tier of Franchise QB and high end tier. Flacco, Eli, Matt Stafford all low end tier guys.

For the same team? Franchise QBs don't bounce around from team to team. That's why Cousins isn't a real Franchise QB either. Your definition needs some fine tuning then.

This. Chargers have won a lot of big road games this year. Would love to see the Colts take down the Pats. That would be a reversing of the script. But the week leading up to the game and the Pats getting another home AFC Championship Game would suck.

How far the Bears and Ravens advance if at all will be the most telling. Those are the two best defenses in the playoffs. And their offenses are hardly high scoring. Bears did completely dismantle the Rams offense earlier in December.
