Bates at Center. That's what I want to see. Probably next year

I said this towards the end of the year last year going into the playoffs. I thought that McKenzie motion was a staple of the offense that just kinda went away and I didn't understand why. It's like Daboll's just let go of his creativity.

Before this week we had the #1 scoring offense. From a distance, Daboll is still a very appealing candidate and unless we repeat what we did yesterday a bunch of times, I think he'll end up a HC.

Daboll isn't terrible and he'll probably be a head coach next year, but I do think he's overrated. I just think he's too inconsistent and it takes too long for him to make adjustments. We clearly need to put a FB in there to help the running game and we never do it. Why did we even keep a FB on the roster? What a waste of a spot. I expect a bounce back next week, but yes, Daboll was a big problem yesterday.

Wait... have you seen the film? Did we have tons of WRs running open underneath on most plays? I remember Allen checking down short multiple times and our WRs and RBs gaining very few yards after the catch. Beasley's first 7 catches were for less than 30 yards. Doesn't that alone negate your premise?

Tim Graham agrees with you https://theathletic.com/2941256/2021/11/07/graham-josh-allen-isnt-to-blame-for-the-bills-ghastly-performance-in-jacksonville?source=user-shared-article But the Bills lost 9-6 to the Jaguars not because of Josh Allen. Yes, he gave away the ball three — almost four — times in the second half. Yes, he posted a 62.7 passer rating. Yes, it was against a laughingstock opponent. “Played like *****,” Allen said hoarsely. “Excuse my language, but that starts with me. So I’ve got to be better for this team.” Taking the heat is what a leader does, but Allen surviving every offensive snap was an accomplishment worthy of consideration, a true feat MVP voters won’t see without looking deeper than his lousy stat line. Some are saying Allen reverted to the reckless “hero ball” ways common through his first couple of seasons. Fact is, Allen had little choice but to try it himself. He wasn’t getting much help.

As I said... I HATE threads like this! BOOOOOOOO!!!!

This thread is probably the reason Trubisky got Covid

This is a scary night to go to sleep... it's like anti-Christmas. I wake up with either a pleasant or unpleasant surprise. Unpleasant is obviously that Josh is out and confirmation that he's unvaxxed becomes pretty solid. Pleasant would be Josh being able to play. Pleasant for the obvious reason that I love watching Josh Allen play football. But also pleasant because it would pretty solidly confirm what I suspected since the Summer: despite his initial hesitancy, Josh did the best thing for the team and got vaccinated. And to be clear, I still think we could and probably should win even if Webb starts.

Really interesting and thorough interview with Cossell. He starts talking about the Jags but then moves into a discussion about Josh for a good bit. He emphasizes that not only does he believe that Josh is the most physically gifted QB in the NFL, he actually thinks Josh is becoming the best QB in the NFL. And he points to last weekend's game against Miami as an example of one of Josh's best games according to the film.

I don't even participate in "predict the score" threads because I feel the same way about them, to a lesser degree. But at least "predict the score" threads leave room for the possibility of a loss. Your thread doesn't even suggest that there's a possibility we lose--which we might... it's the NFL, afterall--and also suggests we'll inevitably blow the Jags out. Hope it happens. Probably could happen. But it might not. But this is the NFL... give me a W.

So the majority of poll takers agree with me. Trubisky comes in well into the 4th quarter. And remember, all of this is assuming we're blowing the Jags out. I hate threads like this that put the cart before the horse. Let's just make sure we get a W, please.

Well... is it a violation to do pressers unmasked if you're unvaccinated? If it is, there's been incredibly negligence on the league's part.

Beas is unvaccinated and is doing in-person unmasked PCs. I don't think it's a rule that unvaxxed players need to wear masks in front of the media... if it is, everyone's turning a blind eye to it.

Dude... this isn't the freakin preseason!!! If we're up by more than 3 scores 4 or 5 minutes left in the game is the ONLY time you want to see him, and it's not inevitable that we win by more than 3 scores. This is the NFL... it's possible this game is close for awhile.

What is the "stuff" you're talking about? I always thought one of them was supposed to be an unvaccinated player needs to wear a mask in Press Conferences or do it via Zoom, but we all have seen Beasely do PCs maskless, including the other day.

I have a question... anyone know anything about this guy? He claims Josh is unvaccinated. I know MONTHS ago he wasn't... is this guy just assuming he still isn't because of what he said on Kyle Brandt's little 10 things gameshow in the offseason?

Well... they have the same record, the same number of TDs, the same number of turnovers, but Allen has more yards. On top of that Stafford is throwing to another MVP candidate in Kupp, while Allen is not. That probably hurts Stafford the slightest bit... unless he loses Kupp for a game or 2 and does what Rodgers just did without Adams. So... Allen

Diggs is still on pace for 1,200 yards. I'm just not concerned. the team is still winning convincingly. We just have room for improvement... and that's a good thing.

Was that English?

Your refusal to factor in rushing yards and TDs in the NFL MVP conversation in today's NFL proves you're just being obstinate. 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton and 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson called me and told me to tell you that.

How can that not be an angry run nominee? He has to break 3 tackles. And they were all tackles that should have happened. The one guy hanging onto his waste should have had him and then the 2 guys in front of him should have had him. Allen is just a special angry beast.

Over the last few days we've had 2 of the biggest MVP candidates talked about in this thread essentially exit the conversation. Kyler Murray has an ankle injury that's going to keep him out 1-3 weeks. Still possible for him, but I don't even think he would be a favorite over Allen pre-injury. Henry--unfortunately for all real football fans--is done for weeks and potentially the season. Such a shame.
