100% your spot on but the difference is even Patrick mahomes gets flack from his fan base when they're scoring 20 points a game Some people here thought I was hating on Josh Allen earlier and I was told to skip his Hall of Fame celebration when he's absolutely my favorite player of all time But I see football as a coach and scout and I will critique a player who's a little bit off Josh Allen is the most talented player I've ever seen and he can go down as the best player ever... The only thing he can control is his work ethic.. and try to be as consistent as possible Obviously this is his team.. he's been in a mini funk.. but so has Tom Brady That's just honesty for a player that I respect in the highest caliber Slightly out of context Just because Josh Allen isn't smiling like his grandma wants doesn't mean it's the Bill's fault How do you know it's not the woman who he just married and she's telling him he's more than a football player and he's confused

Wow usually from Spencer Brown it's a f u and a pancake

True but how many quarterback sweeps are we calling? None today .. I agree on a quarterback run Josh is always playing with full intensity .. and he's always playing football with high intensity.. I'm just saying when he leaves the pocket he used to have more decisiveness.. now he's caught between throwing and running which might be preservation for the long game 6 years ago third and three we go five wide you know Josh Allen was going quarterback draw up the gut.. we don't see that that much but maybe because defenses are taking that away

Thank goodness he's the toughest cookie in the NFL

Yes.. years past he's taking every 7-8-9 yard chunk he can Now he's willing to run around even do a ballerina and spin around and make people Miss behind the line of scrimmage just to throw it I don't think he's going to do that in January Looked like he hurt his wrist a couple weeks ago if I recall correctly

To be fair the only thing that was closing in the second half was the point spread lol That game was over when it was 31-7 lol Notre Dame could not stop Ohio State when Ohio State wanted to score

Maybe his juice to have that 65-yard touchdown is gone.. but I think he's also in a conundrum You see it every time he leaves the pocket he can't tell to throw or run.. his instincts are telling him to run but the coaching is telling him to stay behind the line and throw and it's making a lot of could be 7 8 9 yd gains ... Into an incomplete pass Part of me thinks come January.. Josh is making very decisive decisions including going up the gut which used to be his specialty I agree though he's not running with the same ferocity though it might be to keep him healthier and he's been come January

He said it himself postgame He's not trusting his feet.. a quarterback has to hit his drop and stop overthinking he's overthinking... It happens to every quarterback at some points.. we've said this for years but we always go back to the all 22 and then our guys open underneath that he doesn't hit occasionally.. not saying he's missing wide open guys all game.. just he sometimes Misses guys.. but if you're only throwing 25 times every time he misses and amplified compared to 45 We had people here saying Josh Allen was going to retire in a couple years lol he's literally not even going to hit his peak till his 32 , he is still growing And he's already an MVP... Defensive coordinators are paid a lot of money and they're throwing everything they can to confuse Josh Allen and they know what does work after all these years You just have to keep growing.. Josh is not a finished product today still There is still a better version of Josh Allen that nobody has ever seen that is still untapped

I believe it was banned for smelling salts to be issued by the team If a player brings their own supply it's legal

The first thing I noticed on that passed by the cowboys was it wasn't dak lol That's Joe Milton who was drafted by the Patriots and traded and he can throw a football 90 yards

I think he's talking about the actual use on the field of play Smelling salt have been used for a hundred years lol but typically they were used on the sidelines James Cook is doing it on the field which is why Simon is bringing up the gray area

Yes offball and on ball linebackers are grouped together Matt Milano in a 3-4 would be in inside backer in the will role

It's because nickel defenses are taking over the NFL and a base 43 and 34 are getting condensed A defensive end in the 43 is the same as a pass rushing outside linebacker in a 34 Micah Parsons and gregg Rousseau are both on the edge even though they play a different position

Yeah he was a defensive tackle at Brown who was probably 310 My favorite pickup of offseason he's a monster

I'm not sure in the rule book where it is addressed if it is I do know Aaron Rodgers before his hail Mary attempt versus The Bengals recently absolutely cracked and sniffed it on the field too and then Chuck the ball 70 yd

No I go back and watch every game two three times He's using smelling salts the capsule on the field He cracks it sniffs it and tosses it.. whether it's just on Carries I'd have to see if he does it on any other plays But he's definitely starting some series with it

I had and still have hope for Bobby I don't think most people here realize the immense stress NFL coaches are under.. literally gives people like Urban Meyer heart attacks It's super stressful Bobby has walked into one of the most successful franchises in the NFL recently and has the task of calling defense for a team that the fan base is screaming for a super bowl He's obviously feeling it... Some people take stress better than others.. some people perform in stress better than others I've always been a big Sean McDermott guy here and like I've always said he trust his coordinators enough to coach Which is actually how it should be.. at the NFL level But he's also taking it into his own hands which shows accountability because he's not going to sit by for 17 games and watch his job go

He throws it like a submarine pitcher in baseball because he gets it under the defensive ends arm and shoulder all the time You get it up they jump up and knock it down So he goes low and bypasses them.. it looks awkward But I trust Josh and it seems like the correct angle to avoid what happened to Andy Dalton

Well this should shut down any doubts that Sean McDermott is crappy He should be able to trust his coordinators if you don't you should fire them Obviously Sean McDermott can call a great defense but he has his fingerprints all over this roster so he needs to let his coaches coach If they can't trust you they're not going to be in the right mind to call a good game The writing for Babuch is on the wall

Have to wait for the snap counts certainly did not look like it

Except Stefan diggs average 18 yards of catch one season in Minnesota Had another season where he had a hundred catches And then had 5 seasons above 60% catch rate Btj is at 49% right now which is not effective.. diggs had 67% the year before we traded for him

No offense and again people here are acting like I've been criticizing Josh Allen on this board for seven years lol Go back I got the receipts I was one of the first people here saying Josh Allen is a future All pro and an MVP.. when people were still iffy .. well before his third year breakout I've always said Josh Allen had the most talent I've ever seen That doesn't mean he can't get better.. it doesn't mean he doesn't have lapses of not playing great Even Tom Brady went through two three game stretches of not playing well

Again I'm not saying he's not worth a pic I've been around football long enough to know he's not going for a first round pick with his tape this year Randy Moss went for a fourth round pick and I don't care if he was 29-30 he's the most talented wide receiver ever If they were actually going to trade btj you would be able to get him for a second

It is tough in a salary cap League when you're not getting top 10 picks Joe burrow has tons of flashy toys but his organization can't keep him upright so it doesn't even matter This is the same people that did bring in John Brown and Cole Beasley and diggs via pro personal... And gave Josh weapons... But he didn't really have a line Now he has a line and we don't have those elite weapons... So he's going to have to throw some people open.. he's going to have to be great in the pocket and outside the pocket consistently We all know he's a superstar but he's going to have to consistently play at a steady level which is what you do expect out of a future Hall of famer

@GoBills808 For sure this is the type of offense the bills want to run In fact when people hear were complaining for weeks and weeks I was the first one to have Brady and Josh Allen's back and say this is what they want But what made Josh's arm so special is that he could put the ball in spots other quarterbacks can't And some of those throws are risky
