Kelly the Dog

Not yet and there isn’t any indication. He had surgery but that was before Pats game and they didn’t IR him. It’s a multi-week thing but maybe they expect him back after bye.

Thanks, Sailor. I know it’s a shameless lamp but hopefully a good read and entertaining. Appreciate it.

Of course. I had something about limit mistakes but deleted it, thinking everyone would then yell but he doesn’t!

I always liked our red crush jerseys. Is that him on the left?

I said earlier in the week that we should just throw stats out the window for awhile with Josh. He shouldn’t be measured the way other guys are because he doesn’t play the way other guys do. At this point we want him to make enough plays, and win games.

Because Zay is clearly so much better. SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Blockhead.

Yep. He wasn’t awful the entire game. He was bad for a half. And yes the controversial third INT was in the third quarter. And yes, Daboll consistently gets plays in late. Josh also responds well to hurry up. Not always but usually.

I think you make a really good point. Impossible to say of course if he got a concussion early but he clearly got Bellicose Rungus. It’s easiest to imagine for me that it was nearly equal parts enormity of the game early, the undeniable ability of Belichick to confuse young QBs, and having been smacked in the head hard. That makes a lot of sense to me. Then he came out playing well in third quarter after settling down on all three.

Agree on all of that, except I wouldn’t say he’s absolute worst, and that was kind of my point. He’s shown to be poor long ago, many times.

I truly think that people are way overreacting to how poor Zay may or may not have played against the Patriots. He was way worse most other games.

“Dropped passes” is a nearly worthless stat if you only count blatant ordinary catches, which they admit to. It’s all but saying all the passes each of us here should catch and not a starting NFL WR. What constitutes a drop to the average fan is wildly subjective.

I think it’s Bellicose Rungus.

At this point I would take John Gianelli and cash.

He was out there a decent amount but I truly thought it was a mistake not to try to isolate or target him more in the second half. He's really a weapon with serious skills.

Damn. Truly heartbreaking. Here is to Jeremy and his wife finding new and true happiness somewhere down the line.

The quote I said twice was originally in a specific direct response to a poster who said Barkley is not going to throw interceptions and fumble like Allen is, and I rightly pointed out that he did both of them in one quarter of play. Do you think that Matt Barkley or Josh Allen, given one last drive the length of the field with three minutes to go gives the Bills the best chance of scoring a TD to win the game? Allen had settled down greatly in the second half. He was 6-6 on the scoring drive. Yes he still threw the one bad INT that was not an INT but he was escaping tackles and making better decisions and completing passes on the run. Several of them.

Allen avoids that regularly.

Yep. He’s slow and immobile. And it’s still an INT. Josh probably avoids the rusher and then looks downfield. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.

In one quarter Barkley fumbled and threw an interception. That’s a higher rate on both than Allen. Just sayin.’

I just actually smacked my own forehead with a heavy mallet.

Actually he was trending toward stardom like as a sophomore. He was much higher ranked in his second last year than his last year of college, going from a first round pick to fourth. Because of his weak arm. He's always been the same.

Trent always checked down, before and after the hit. He did it all the time in college, too, because his line was awful and he got battered in the pocket.
