Yes

They aren't mutually exclusive. Both can be nice. We all obviously want a Super Bowl first.

Such a myopic perspective. Every week? You honestly think QBs play like MVPs every week in their MVP seasons? Did you see Mahomes yesterday vs. the Jets? Right now, Josh Allen is leading a 3-1 football team and is currently: 6th in passing yards 5th in YPA 1st in Completion % Tied for 1st in Total TDs 4th in Passer Rating Yes, Josh has 4 interceptions. So does Mahomes. And Tua suddenly has 3.

He's not https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2023-nfl-odds-christian-mccaffreys-mvp-odds-on-move-josh-allen-new-favorite https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-mvp-betting-odds-update-week-4-2023/ https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/mvp/

God this is horrible. Such an amazing Buffalo Bill and I hate that this may have been his last time playing for us.

I wonder if @Thurman#1 will still play his typical Devils advocate role of saying "blah blah blah 75% completion percentage says nothing about accuracy because blah blah blah." So effin lucky to have this guy as our QB.

11 TDs. 5 turnovers. 74.8% completion percentage. 7.8 YPA. Leading a 3-1 team that's gonna have the largest point differential in the NFL after this week... probably by a large margin. We're so lucky.

Ummmm...yeah... that's because week 4 is when a PUP player is allowed to start practicing. Doesn't mean anything because the team has 3 weeks to activate him after that. Is Shefter just mailing it in at this point?

https://theathletic.com/4898011/2023/09/26/nfl-power-rankings-dolphins-qb-confidence/ I don't really know where The Athletic gets this, but in their "Power Rankings" this week, here's the note they have on Josh Allen: In the last two weeks, he has thrown four touchdown passes and only one interception and has an NFL-best off-target percentage of 1.4 percent. Maybe some who are skeptical would find that to be a pretty good stat for accuracy?

Almost verbatim what Joe Marino said on yesterday's Locked On Podcast

Understood.... Sorry... not a day trader

Agreed on Kincaid. But Bernard? Really? I don't think he'll have many (any?) more games like the game he had against Washington the other day, but through 3 games I actually feel pretty comfortable in calling him a more than capable NFL MLB... and I kinda feel like he's already a better MLB than Edmunds ever was.

Listened to Joe Marino's podcast yesterday and he posed a pretty interesting perspective on the Daboll thing. The narrative is that Brian Daboll made Josh Allen. Marino posits that maybe it's the other way around and it's Josh Allen who made Daboll. Part of the argument is the relatively steady offensive production in being one of the top NFL offenses even after Daboll left and Daboll's Giants being one of the bottom half NFL offenses. I think it's a bit of an oversimplification, but I also think the folks (Colin Cowherd) who say Brian Daboll was the brilliant coordinator who reined in Josh Allen is an oversimplification. And maybe it's absolutely false, considering the amount of time Josh spent with Jordan Palmer working on his game for so many offseasons.

And now to move past all the bickering. Some posters on this board are like terrible girlfriends: Always bringing up past mistakes to explain how they feel about something you've said or done today. Gotta show this one again from this angle:

See what I said before regarding Thurm and being the King of Ad Hominem attacks. You're just a Prince, though. At least Thurm's are intelligently constructed.

Tyrod is long gone. I moved on a long time ago. Some posters bizarrely have not. I was wrong about Tyrod. Who cares?

I remember distinctly right after we got him you said "he's going to be a stud."

This is true. At one point I said that. But this also lacks context. I also said 6 months before the draft in 2017 we would make the playoffs and Beane would/should trade up for a QB. I was a strong advocate for drafting a QB with Tyrod at the helm in a year we made it to the playoffs for the 1st time in 17 years. We all get things wrong. You got Josh Allen wrong, too. A lot of people really didn't want to draft him. It wasn't just me. @GoBills808 should get a ton of credit for wanting him and saying he'd be a stud even before we drafted him. And now that that tangent is over, the sky is green, grass is blue, and Josh Allen is accurate... Just because I said 2 of those things and they're false doesn't mean one isn't true.

Have you seen Thurm's posts? If not, you'll find several in this thread. If I have a lengthy post every once in awhile at this point--and lengthy is a relative term, but I don't believe I have too many all that often--it's going to be to say something about the team, not to try to win a ridiculous rhetorical argument the way some (@Thurman#1) here spend most of their time doing. I'm not guiltless in never arguing a point for awhile with someone, but when it's clearly pointless because the other poster just uses constant logical fallacies or is just generally a stubborn, unlikeable (on the Internet) ass... I think I've done well enough lately to learn to stop.

Love your posts in general. @Thurman#1 is really just the King of the Ad Hominem attack. It's been several years at this point already that I've pretty much stopped initiating conversation with him. For whatever reason he always feels the need to chime in and give me his War and Peace responses to things that I say, probably knowing that I won't take the time (I don't have it... I'm not retired like he must be) to respond to every individual point that he makes and every accusation he points at me that's incorrect. He likes to create hyperbolic if not utterly false narratives and he hides them within ridiculous, long-winded posts that lack context. For example: He's right that I said that Tyrod Taylor was "near-Elite" at one point. It was during his best year in 2015. I never said it after that point. I also said I was wrong about him multiple times after. Thurm apparently believes that being wrong about something means you can never be right about anything else. It's okay, though. I'm a High School teacher. I can deal with narcissistic people quite well. I've learned Thurm is here for the strict purpose of essentially saying that everyone is wrong in some way about everything while never actually stating his own opinions/positions about absolutely anything. He's the ultimate Devil's Advocate. And that's fine by me... there should be one in every conversation

Oy... I really get under your skin, don't I?
