time will tell. It probably all comes down to Josh Allen. If he becomes all pro then it will go down that way. If he flunks out he will just be another one of the GM's since Polian.

what did they give up, 7th round comp pick?

Thank you Antonio Brown......I question Beane big time on this......would have put butts in the seats but probably would have been a problem for the team.

no but dollars does

WNY was butthurt

The guy has lost his mind. Personally I think he is a little over rated too. Is he talented? Yes But he also benefits from having a QB that matches his style. he likely wont put up the numbers he has in the past on a new team. I stay away from the clown.

Corey Coleman 2.0?

pass for 4000 run for 400 should be the goal. Running for 1000 will be fun but it will not last long

The poison pill the bills gave themselves

Trading anyone who is a potential cap casualty would be good but probably not so likely....so clay and mccoy are at the top of that list. In terms of people to trade for I am not so sure, there are a lot of needs so find potential targets (people who dont fit their current system or cap targets) and go after them.

LA Rams have no fans. People are probably sick of seeing the Pats.

No he’s just a blowhard

It was low scoring but not boring at all. In the 80's and 90's most SB's were total blowouts....those were boring.

was there any debate? Well other than the people here who think Allen is equal or better than Mahomes but you cant see it cause he needs weapons.

The only way you get 9 straight AFC championship games (and 9 SB's over 18 years) is with coaching AND quarterbacking. Its the combination, just one would not do it.

After Barkley there would be others before Lindsay, I dont get why someone is getting all wet over 0.4YPC. Its one metric/stat. The offensively line could easily account for that.

I dont think he is the same player, his production dropped like a rock last year. Good guy, gave his all, but I would be moving on for sure.

Yeah that will happen and to some degree, that is already true...if they start beating Brady in the coming years, he will retire and that will be the excuse. I will just settle for Brady and the pats dominance going away any means necessary. Whether they all retire, another team decides to beat them, they get a virus, whatever.

I think he just loves to compete. Which I think is understandable.

Are people still surprised and/or upset its not competitive? It will never be a hard hitting/full on competition again.

Kelso got the most out of his abilities so that is to be respected. He was smart and always knew what he was doing. He did have some nice INT numbers but he was not a great tackler. He woudl make tackles but guys would drag him 10 yeards.

They are related but I will agree they are not the same. If you throw every ball in the dirt you will have 0%, so yeah they are not the same but more accurate passers generally have higher completion percentages. But its not just accuracy, its other things like throwing on time, getting the ball to the WR in the right window. All of that he will work on and hopefully improve. And actually, in terms of timing, he did get better after he returned from injury.

You are saying two things, first its the fault of the rest of the offensive players and second it is typical for a rookie. Which is it? All I am saying is lets call a spade a spade. Was there lack of talent? Yes, Were their drops? Yes. Was the lack of talent and drops the main reason for completing low 50%? Nope sorry that is not what I saw. Yes his % would have been higher without drops. But all QB's have drops so the question is how many more drops did allen have compared to others. Josh Allen was often late on throws and as a result through into traffic, sometimes (more often than is typical) just misfires, and is generally not good at short passes, screens in particular. I am not saying Josh Allen is a bust or anything, just being honest with what I saw. Like you said, it is not atypical for a rookie to have some bad numbers, it does not predict the rest of his career or anything. But he has a lot to improve on is all I am saying. Anyone who thinks the guy is as good as Mahomes and he just needs talent is ridiculous (I have seen that a lot here).

How is it wrong?

Allen struggle to complete 50% and it was not because of the WR's. He needs a lot of work on consistency/accuracy. And he needs a lot of work in the short passing game also.
