Yep. Results matter. And most young coaches in the NFL seem to do pretty good. So they surely must be focused on other stuff than analytics... If young coaches were having dismal results, of course he'd have a point. But it's not the case.

Dude has thrown only 4 INT all year, 13-1 as a starter, GB are the top team in the whole league. So yeah, he has a point. That journalist shouldn't vote anymore if he openly says by summer he had decided not to vote for him. WTH is that? Think of all the off season drama, and in the first game they were DESTROYED. Yet they finish on top. Crazy.

He's among the top guys that "get it". Not the boring overbearing cold and distant disciplinarian, he treats his men like men. Yet he won't tolerate outright chaos and clowning like a Rex Ryan.

The video was full of pure goodwill and bonding. Good stuff.

Unless I missed it completely, players weren't pissed to play an extra game? Are they paid more or the same as per agreed to for a full season. whether 16 or 17 games? I'd like that to, but since they won't start on Labor Day weekend... nor before, because of ratings, it means the extra week would mean this regular season would have ended January 16th. That's a LOT of winter games for northern teams.

They are supposed to be confidential? Ha ha. I didn't know that... since we indeed know about them every year. Anyway, intelligence and quick decision making ARE part of being a QB. I don't think Peyton and Brady made a career because of their "amazing" athletic abilities. Let's face it, we get a quick that Josh is super athletic yet ALSO scored high on that test.

Well that OL and Chubb are awesome. It's weird that Baker was by far the most "NFL ready" of the 2018 QBs. He just has plateaued out quickly for some reason. He's still a good starter. BTW that's what I feared with Josh. Not that he'd be a bust, but that he'd be in the "good/very good but not elite" category. You're often stuck with these guys. Thankfully he has been... elite Lamar could turn out to be a contract nightmare because of injuries and limitations, but as of now, they have to sign him. I don't wish bad on the players... but it'd sure help the Bills if both these guys sign huge contracts and are disappointments...

I'm NOT one on the "fire McD" bandwagon... but I was pissed when McD threw the challenge flag. So I had to eat some crow reading your post ha ha.

Have you tried to help an adult with mental issues? Nothing you can do. Most people try at first than give up. I know. He surely had had way more chances than most people. And while it's bad we can't help them more, it's better this way then force somebody against their will to get treatment as the abuse potential would be way too great.

OLine was awesome today! Their best game, by far. Lots of time to throw for Josh, lanes opened. Singletarry also made a few great cutbacks away from his blockers for big gains. Phillips has been a quiet steady force on defense for a while now. In a game that Josh had a bad stretch passing, isn't it awesome he can run it himself, and that team could run it?

Even if no teams have tanked on purpose, you never want it to happen - or even think it could happen. Draft lottery just makes sense, at least for the 1st round. Make sure that the worst teams have greatly increased odds to still pick first or early but yeah, it is needed.

Truth. But then you limit someone else. No easy solutions. But nice problem to have!

I feel like eating a 8 legged turkey in his honor

And THAT followed a holding call that Hughes created. It was really... weird ha ha

Indeed. But it has varied a lot from game to game anyway. Sometimes according to the gameplan, sometimes just how it came about. I'm sure McK was designed to get more shots last game... but not THAT much. Sometimes it happens. WRs are stacked for the Bills.

IDK why it rattles people. Flutie was indeed "slippery", rarely took a big hit, had great pocket awareness. Is Josh a much better more complete QB? Hell yeah. But Flutie has this strength, only haters feel this need to vent all these years later. And so far, Allen has won many such short battles too. Both have this amazing will to win.

We mostly see highlights of other teams, the big plays, the big fails. "National media" always give big praises or the same downpoints. But local fans and journalists see the minor yet annoying quirks, criticize more, the small stuff, etc. It must be annoying to players and staff but it is what it is. Annoying as often a lot is true, but fans and journalists somehow act like if elsewhere it's all perfect or all bad. Case in point: the OL blamed on Beane all the time. As if great offensive linemen are just sitting on a shelf, waiting to get picked or drafted by the Bills GM. EVERY team has weaknesses. All of them.

I think the gameplan is helping them. It has been getting better since the Jets game. It's no knock on the OL that they are not the strength of the team. But before they were left on their own way too much. You gameplan according to your team's strengths and weaknesses.

Like others have said, it was clearly an option Josh had, and he picked the right one. The Cheats had totally clogged the middle. They also had guys on the edge and it became a man to man battle on the open field that Josh won. Well designed by the Cheats, but even better played by 17. Dawkins just avoided getting a holding call. He did block partly. BTW I wished the Bills D would do the same on obvious sneaks. More often than not, it will work.

Come on now ha ha. He had to say something testing positive. And to be fair, he didn't go all out here. Hopefully he is again done with this till after the Bills win on Feb 13

I won't get into this debate with a moderator. I can simply note that the post before yours is OK though... And the partying I indeed saw your post and commented on it. Again, just a baseless rumor that spreads and becomes accepted as a truth. Beasley drew way too much attention on this himself for this topic, but he had completely chilled out for many many weeks.

Oh wow. Rumors can sure start fast! That's all? I don't think he's really a teen girl screaming "I love you Josh Allen" either ha ha

Ask how I know ha ha. And some have stated they do so openly. Anyway, I'm here for football and rather like that this topic is rarely discussed. There are way than enough other spaces to do so. I'm fine with that. Bills football is what unites us. And this victory is sooooo sweet. Anyway, I didn't know about his partying. That does look bad. I just mentions I find it weird that so many fans all turning on a proven player who showed he cared and played not only injured but with a broken leg. That's no small feat! And of course he's not tested daily "out of the goodness of his heart", but bottom line, he is. So while he obviously has greater chances of getting fined, be off the field for this, he IS actually much safer for others. So I don't get the constant vitriol.

Indeed Anyway, just keep WINNING. It solves everything. It really does. Taylor is a great back, for sure, but his OL is the best in the league. A RB should NOT beat a QB for MVP with that kind of help! Henry was a legit candidate if he hadn't been injured.

I'm a big symmetry guy too ha ha. That's why the 17 games, 7 teams per conference in the playoffs... nope. I wonder why there was no pushback at all from the players at playing an extra game? Because there is less viewers on labor day weekend and before, and then weather becomes so harsh later on for a lot of teams, adding weeks is an issue that's quite hard to fix. As otherwise adding 2-3 bye weeks could mean more rested players, more injured players coming back, etc.
