But that's only because you have eyes and a brain and can see how lame and tired and unlikeable the entire TB12...everything is.

These takes are so chalky.

Hopefully it's a Dan Marino's-last-game kind of send-off in the postseason for TB12.

But when it's over we are left with our...lives.

I'm as happy as anyone to watch his demonstrable descent into mediocrity, but to ignore the team's litany of injuries and other obstacles is literally ignor-ant.

Why won't anyone finally kick dirt on this corpse of Tom Brady? Instead, the opposition keeps reviving him.

Offensive line injuries are a major factor. Sprinkle in Godwin's reduced explosiveness due to injury, the loss of Gronk, Fournette forgetting to cap his offseason bulking phase, Brady's wife divorcing him then moving in across the canal, Todd Bowles being the head coach, the defense losing pieces in the offseason and then during the season...and you got a s#!t stew going. With respect to the Cards fumble: What a joke.

Such a likeable game so far. Those who think it's boring just aren't petty enough to find the value.

It's a decent conciliation prize for all football fans with any shred of integrity.

Hate-watching the ghost of Tom Brady works for me.

Greg Dortch is kinda good. But otherwise, yeah.

Mere coincidence that so many came from Germany and Italy! Nothing to see here. Tua cannot drive the ball with velocity. And he's small. And maybe inaccurate when forced to go through progressions. And possibly just not built for the violence of NFL football. (We cannot ignore his determination, and his accuracy when throwing to his first read within 2.5 seconds.)

I've seen/heard this tendency discussed before, and it's a really interesting one. So, thank you. However, I think it actually SUPPORTS my observation about Allen trying to force the issue against certain coverages. It DOES, admittedly, provide a reason for WHY Allen might be feeling the pressure to make something happen, but that in no way absolves our QB of the original sin of falling into a defense's coverage trap. That forbidden downfield apple is so alluring, ESPECIALLY when the Bills are behind the sticks. It's human nature for a gunslinger like Josh. And that's when he often gets into trouble.

This is how you beat Josh IF he plays into it, as he did a handful of times today, and used to do too often in the past. It's the main regression we've seen this season: Allen has these maddening stretches where he gets stuck on what he WANTS to do on a given play, and either forces it into coverage or takes too long to check it down (and does so with sloppy/hurried mechanics and misses the layups). Both of these tendencies have resulted in turnovers. Against KC this season, on the contrary, Allen (and the offense) patiently took what the defense gave them, which includes attacking downfield the few times they got the single high safety/man/pressure looks. There were glimpses of this today against an undertalented, but well coached, defense. But those glimpses were interrupted too frequently by impatient and sloppy blunders from #17.

The Wikipedia entry for him lol: Chukwuemeka Kingsley Jonathan (born April 28, 1998) is an American football defensive end for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Syracuse and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Buffalo Bills in 2022. He was also the number one overall pick in the 2022 CFL Global Draft. Without reading any further, I feel like I remember him being cut by the Bills and/or signing elsewhere, and then very recently being re-signed to our PS. Had to scoop him back up before the CFL got its hooks into him, apparently.

Sometimes hawks eat crow. Good on ya.

Seriously. Other than a few 1-high pressure looks, the Bears were backing way off today. Cook and Singletary got off, but there was even more meat left on that bone.

They definitely get to call him whatever they're already calling him. No reason to pee on their parade.

Chicago, aside from some blitzes that Allen couldn't/didn't attack, seemed to employ a lot of light boxes in favor of dropping into heavy coverage looks. And Josh Allen seemed to be impatient often and kept looking downfield when there were gimmes underneath (and then put some POOR mechanics on tape when he did finally check it down). Obviously Dorsey called a pretty solid game against the looks they were getting, with our rushing success as one indicator, but Allen was not on that same page often enough to methodically dissect that defense all game long. Doesn't Cinci employ similar strategies against Mahomes? I know they tend to rush only 3 and use a spy/delayed blitzer, but otherwise they'd rather lose from a thousand cuts instead of a few big blows. Methinks Allen and Dorsey need to oblige them next week, and run the damned ball and check it down when they're backing off into that shell look. The key, of course, is also making them pay when they gamble and send pressure (like Allen did masterfully against KC for two key plays down the right sideline). That 3rd down deep in their own end today where Diggs was 1-on-1 on the left sideline and the Bears sent pressure was a criminally missed opportunity by Allen. It seemed so obvious pre-snap (and Diggs certainly agreed after the play).

He is complete dogs#!t. The most dramatic beeeotch when he suffers minor injuries, and then looks to injure others when his fragile little ego is bruised. Pats fans deserve him.

Or, maybe today the Bills ran well against VERY light boxes. (Doesn't mean these other observations have no bearing, just that there was a TON of space out there today as the Bills spread it out and the Bears dropped into coverage looks.)

LOL say more

Dak has performed, to more than just my eye, a LOT like a Kirk Cousins level QB: productive, sometimes highly productive, but also inconsistent when it gets down to it. And honestly, it seems to me like his arm is a bit lacking if he doesn't have his base perfectly set. Doesn't look like he can drive the ball off-platform like other upper tier talents.

While I agree with you overall, I'd also argue that Allen is better when he's distributing the ball broadly across the entire field, to a variety of targets. That Miami game showed what I think is growth in the passing game, especially in the red zone. The rise of Knox had something to do with that, and we'd all agree that having 3 targets (Diggs, Knox, and Davis...in that order) who can be featured based on matchups and gameplans, helps a passing offense ascend to elite status.
