Marcus Murphy has been incredible
-
Davis has had a bad offseason. I'm getting worried his side of the field is going to be really vulnerable.

Good practice for Allen. He should get used to having no help from anyone else on the offense.

How come the game day - 1st half thread does not open until 4:55PM?
It's preseason for the moderators too

I think they name him the starter as long as the game isn't a total disaster. At least 2 scoring drives and no more than 1 interception. It seems like the Cleveland game was all about shorter throws and the Carolina game was about longer throws. I expect to see more of an even mix today, so they can see how he handles a real gameday offense.

He leaves a lot of clean pockets and doesn't seem to read the field that well. Also Sammy Watkins has been nowhere to be found in preseason so far. I don't see anything for Chiefs fans to be excited about to be honest.

He isn't looking good right now. Just overthrew a wide open Sammy Watkins deep.

He looks accurate and he can read defenses. I'm still waiting to see if he can stretch the field. He made a few rookie mistakes and hasn't made any wow plays yet. His near-interception on 3rd down was very similar to the interception he threw last week. Teams will sit on the short throws in the regular season and Darnold will have to show them he can beat that.
I see all the top 4 QBs as 50/50 shots to make it and they all still have something to prove. Darnold needs to prove he can stretch the field. Mayfield needs to prove he can look past his first read. Rosen needs to prove he can handle adversity. Allen needs to prove he can be consistent.

This is what (IMO) made Josh Allen's performance against them so great. Allen did not play against vanilla defense like everyone claims is preseason. Some of the breakdown videos of Allen's play shows some overload blitz', as well as disguised blitzes and Allen handled them like a pro.
I find it funny people when say it doesn't matter that Josh Allen looked good in a preseason game. On Hard Knocks, Gregg Williams sure seemed to think it matters. He was really frustrated that his defense wasn't able to stop him. Nate Orchard was pretty upset that he couldn't get a sack. It's not like they aren't trying. His good play in that game means something.

They are meaningless.The final score is meaningless. The individual plays and matchups still matter. Myles Garrett isn't going to suddenly stop being a monster in the regular season. Teams will game plan more to stop him but his skill set won't disappear.

I like analytics and was against drafting Josh Allen. The analytics were clear his poor statistical performance against week competition predicted a poor success rate.
The key word is "predicted." I work in finances and statistics is a hobby of mine. The biggest misconception people have about statistics is that they are making black and white predictions. Really they are assigning probabilities. So for example QBASE (the Football Outsiders analytics stat) gave Josh Allen a 62.7% chance of busting. That's a better than a 1 in 3 chance he makes it. A 1 in 3 chance is NOT that unlikely. If he succeeds that doesn't mean QBASE or whatever other analytics tool is complete bogus. If a model gives 10 QBs a 66% chance of busting and they ALL bust, that means the model is broken. The problem isn't analytics as a tool, the problem is how people interpret them.

No I love football as much as ever, if not more. I don't care about any other sports. I'll go to Sabres games occasionally, otherwise I don't really watch them. Baseball and basketball bore me. Football is unlike any other sport, the way every position is so different from what every other position is doing. I have to admit I'm addicted.

Mack is also coming off a disappointing season. I'm worried he may have already played his best ball, and may be a very good, but not top tier elite player on his second contact.
Eh he's the only player on that Raiders defense, teams are game planning for him and they don't have anyone else to worry about. No defensive player can do it all on their own.
-
I know it's just preseason but this week feels like the lead up to the home opener. I don't really care about our record this year, I just want the QB position to finally be solved. This weekend we get our first extended look at that question. So to me it might as well be week 1 of the regular season.

Is Mack worth what could be a Top 5 pick?
Yes. Top 5 picks have like a 20% chance of becoming DPOY candidates. Mack has already been the DPOY and is a candidate to win it again every year. I value draft picks as much as anyone on here, but the reason you hold onto draft picks is to save cap space for players like Mack when they become available. If we have a chance to get a generational player on our team at a position of need, why give that up for a lottery ticket?

lets be honest here Kirby.
please refer to the stats from the Saints game
so in summation
your facts are skewed and biased
Do you think we can trade Peterman for a high 3rd round pick? Do you think the team that trades for him will pay him $16 million?

They have more at WR than people think.
We have like 5 guys that could be solid backups on any other team, the problem is Kelvin Benjamin is our only WR that would start on any other team.
Right now it looks like Benjamin, Jones, and Kerley are locks. Kerley has been starting in the slot in practice. I think Coleman has to make the team too because no one else has his skill set. Personally I'd give the other 2 spots to McCloud and Streater. More likely Holmes will take one of those spots though.

I don't get this regime's attachment to Holmes. He is old and mediocre at best. I'd rather that spot go to a potential playmaker.
-
His footwork has come a very long way. I don't think I've ever seen a QB improve this much from college to the pros so quickly. Maybe Palmer really is a QB guru.

Remember when EJ Manuel lit it up
No, I don't remember this. Apparently everyone else does. I remember EJ looking mostly competent in preseason. I don't remember him making any wow plays like the two TD passes Allen has thrown. I see a pocket presence that EJ never showed.

Is it kind of reminiscent of Nate Peterman's first ever half of professional football?
I want to make sure I understand the question before I formulate a response. You're asking me if a single deep pass that went out of bounds by a couple yards is reminiscent of 5 interceptions thrown on 14 attempts. Do I have that right?

I have no interest in cheering for 60 yard out of bounds passes
But you cheer for dropped pick sixes and blown coverages? This is definitely the weirdest set of opinions I've seen this year. The number of times you've brought up Josh Allen's first ever pass in a preseason game is very odd.

.the scouting report so far has been right...he looks great in practice
There were zero scouting reports that mentioned how he looked in practice. What does this even mean? I was as skeptical as anyone about Josh Allen but he looks like a totally different QB right now. His footwork is night and day and he isn't making the stupid mistakes he made in college.
