Doc Brown

I wouldn't be too hard on Allen as I remember him pulling out some clutch game winning drives using his scrambling ability, elite arm strength, and improvisational skills. Something the Montana and Brady's of the world didn't have. The one's that stick out in my mind are the Lions Thanksgiving bullet to Diggs, the two at KC to take the lead in the regular season, at Baltimore in the rain after the Poyer interception of Lamar, and two Miami home games in 2022 (snow game) and 2024 (Bass 62 yarder). I also think I'm cherry picking games (overtime record) to make the case against him being clutch in game winning drive opportunities. Just to get to overtime in those five games took some late game heroics. Profootballreference has him at 21 game winning drives since his rookie season. I'd argue it should've been 23 if it wasn't for the Hail Murray and 13 seconds. I'm not going to pretend to know how many he failed to make but I've never really viewed him as a "choker" in close games in the 4th quarter.

I kind of remember that being a criticism of the people around Reagan starting around his second term. Completely different media landscape at the time though obviously. Another difference was Reagan was an excellent president.

It was meant as a joke but if Watson did come back better than ever he'd be even better than he was his three straight years making the pro bowl.

I'm not even that confident in the regular season. Allen's 0-5 in overtime despite having the ball and needing a TD to win it.

Laugh now but Watson said he's coming back better than ever. Look out NFL.

It's a defense mechanism by Bills fans when all we hear is how Allen is 0 in 4 against Mahomes in the playoffs. No reference to the fact that he should at minimum be 1-3 if it wasn't for an epic meltdown by our coaching and defense with 13 seconds left. On the pie chart of blame for the Chiefs losses he's not even close to coaching, defense, and weapons coming up small in big moments.

Yeah. I'd agree with that. Kelly is the only QB in bills history to be a first team All Pro I believe so I don't want to undersell him too much.

The you have to go down the rabbit hole of if we drafted Marino in '83 would we have been in position to draft Bruce Smith with the 1st pick? Would we have had the ammunition to get Bennett in a trade? It's a fruitless "what if" exercise for that reason.

I don't blame the last KC game on him. Kincaid has to come down with that. I do the one the year before where Bass missed the field goal. Brady's play call too. The Bills had the perfect opportunity to drain that clock and score with little time left to go up four. It was the only way we were winning that game with AJ freaking Klein covering Kelce. Josh then decides to take a low percentage 30 yard pass to the middle of the end zone coming out of the two minute warning on 2nd down when he had a wide open Diggs on the check down that would've either got the first down or a very manageable 3rd and short. Clock stops and we're in a 3rd and long. Even if we get the Shakir TD the Chiefs had pry an 80%ish chance of scoring a TD to win the game with that much time left. Poor decision by Josh.

No. My motivation is more selfish for removing OJ's name from the Wall of Fame when we switch stadiums. I'm sick of the debate.

You confused me more. Lol. Got you now though. I know that less evidence is required for an arrest before the district attorney decides whether there's enough evidence for the case to possibly go to trial. This is especially true of rape cases. I do agree though that his arrest alone will pry prevent him from being drafted.

These two things don't align then as the DA doesn't have to sign off on an arrest warrant. A judge can issue an arrest warrant with probable cause.

Of course it did. At least all the one's who had interest in him. Breathing a sigh of relief now that this happened before the draft.

Let it draw more attention. It's the right thing to do. Where was it reported the DA proceeded with charges? You only need a judge to sign off on an arrest warrant I thought.

Are we trading back with the Jets from 30 to 42 for no compensation whatsoever due to salary cap reasons?

The play call coming out of the two minute warning in the Chiefs home divisional game where Allen took a low percentage deep shot to Shakir (and not checking it down to Diggs) was more egregious than any of the calls on the 13 second game collapse.

Watch the OP look like a genius if this somehow happens.

The problem with that is you have no idea what teams are interested in Sanders. What if the Giants take him at 3?

You might want to work on your PR skills. . Imagine Beane saying after the Elam pick, "We liked McDuffie and were not happy he went off the board on a trade-up. We had to settle for this guy."

With the 22nd Pick the LA Super Chargers select Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan Happy he fell here as it's a pretty obvious pick that reunites Loveland with Harbaugh. Gives Herbert another weapon at his disposal as he has great ball skills and reliable hands. Will need to fine tune is route running ability and we acknowledge he'll be an average blocker at best. Having Ty Conklin and Will Dissly already on the roster will help in that area. Greg Roman can sleep better at night knowing he can run 12 personnel from a variety of formations. The Packers @Ralonzo are on the clock..

Wonder if Sanders is the pick there at #2 then. Would suck because the Pats would get at least one of Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter.

It's strange to me that you dismiss the recent volatility in the stock market as just a normal cycle this week as if a jobs report came back lower than expected or the Fed might not decrease that interest rate by a quarter of a point. Especially considering we had the biggest two day market collapse since Covid and the biggest one day spike since 2008. The market's reaction saved (or at least delayed) what would have been an unsustainable tariff policy/trade war for the entire globe that would have been absolutely disastrous. Trump even said he backed down as the stock market and the bond market indicated people were getting "yippity." I'm thankful that Trump saw how disastrous his policy might have been and then course corrected. He now can attempt what no previous administration has ever dared to do and try to squeeze China economically with these strategic tariffs. I'm not sure the American people will have enough resolve to take a short term hit financially to cripple China but at least the plan makes sense now. There is a universe where you can support a president and be allowed to call him out when you think he's wrong. It's not TDS. It's basic constructive criticism. The same way I criticize McDermott for his defensive failure in the playoffs but still think he's a good enough coach to eventually help us win the Super Bowl. You can start all your culture war threads and every other stupid thing that the right and left fight about but realize that we're all on the same team here.

Who could forget the kicker/punter/whatdyouactuallydohere Jordan Gay?

Browns then.
