No. Not at all. But I wouldn't be against it. Thx.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain

Not to mention PM throws strangely five times a game.

Nice write up. Most all legit concerns. I'm holding off the panic on the defense but if they get lit up this week by Carr with a depleted WR corps we need something to change. Johnson has been a decent to pretty good slot corner in the past; he's not playing well. We have played two hot quarterbacks who do what they did to most teams when they are on their games. But the defense is a worry. Daboll has done yeoman's work on groupings and game-planning and play design/calling.

"This year, this time, the Bills were the ones that got the call at the end of the game we needed. Sure, to most of our eyes, it was at least clearly illegal contact and an automatic first down. But it has been decades since we got that call and won that game. We have been told in this entire century, and witnessed from the opposite sideline and grandstands, that good teams make their own breaks. We never, of course, got them in a generation, because we just were not one of those good teams. Well, seemingly, we are now. The old Bills were behind by a ton, made a ridiculous comeback, and eventually, inevitably, lost on a late four-minute, length of the field drive, complete with giving up third-and-22s, and getting the late controversial flag on fourth down. They were us and we were them. But Allen’s Bills late-game heroics are the New Bills Normal. He has 10 comeback wins in 31 starts, with eight in the fourth quarter. In his last 14 games, he has accounted for 33 touchdowns and thrown three interceptions, one of which wasn’t even an interception. We no longer have Captain Checkdown, we have Captain America. The Bills have an actual Big Game Field General that is not a field or game manager. He's George freakin’ Washington. No more moral victories, we have amoral wins, where entire other cities complain “we wuz robbed.” Yes, the Bills new normal feels abnormal because the #BillsMafia has been missing it for so long. Decades. But it is different this year. They are us and we are them."

If any QB had 300 yards, 5 TDs, and 35 points and 2 turnovers in a win, it would be extremely difficult to not be B+ or more. The fact he took the team the whole length of the field in the last three minutes and scored to win the game and not let the other team have a chance to win, how could that not be an A?

You made a ridiculous statement and equivalent and I responded. I didn't say anything about an A+ game, nor do I believe he had one.

Did he have five TDs? I forgot.

Those passes to Beasley over the middle only a handful of QBs in the league make. He made a boatload of ridiculous throws, like last week.

If the Rams would have punted a couple times, or if the Bills defense forced a couple three and outs, Josh likely would have had six or seven TDs.

We are all but unbeatable when the opponent doesn’t punt.

Yeah, I think we have to live with most of it. He’s not Josh unlike he makes those ridiculous escapes and runs and ropes. Often times he makes great plays when he holds it too long. It’s not fair to expect him to make the right decision every time as to how much he should try to make a play when it looks impossible.

He’s on pace for 5500 yards passing, and 53 TD passes and 11 rushing TDs.

That was great. Thx for the link.

Did the NFL do away with the “probable” designation?

Four out of five dentists said they barely crack the top ten so take it with a grain of salt.

That was actually quite a good mea culpa article.

Fair. But stat nerds have no business evaluating certain players like Josh Allen who break the mold in several different ways. It's like taking off points for Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray because short QBs usually don't fare well in their model.

Normally I hate gimmicky stuff like Angry Runs. But I love it. He’s hilarious. The over the top element, which often ruins stuff like that, he repeatedly nails. Wharton I think, where he played field hockey with Arnold Palmer’s granddaughter.

Loved that.

Wow. No one covering him and it’s long and OB. How about short and inside and a terrible pass is a TD.

Terrible call to punt.

Every time I see Michael Irvin I laugh over one of the greatest shades of all time, when Marshall Faulk said “There are no i’s in team, but there are three i’s in Michael Irvin.” Pure genius.

Gotta love Fitzy.

I think if you watch it you will like it a lot, and you don't have to agree with every point he made. I didn't. But it's really good I think, as far as some entertainment, some x's and o's, some blathering. He definitely knows what he's talking about, and he has enormous praise for Allen the whole way through.
