  1. Don't be surprised to see a stud 1 technique DT or LB selected in the first next year. SF kept drafting defensive front 7 until the mix was right, and told the offense to make due. SF and Carolina are the blueprint OBD wants to emulate.
  2. Sounds all too familiar like having a blocked punt returned for a td.
  3. Why does Brady's jersey have loose flowing sleeves like a blouse?
  4. Why? Why do this?
  5. since some people here tend to argue nonsense I thought I would look back to Brady, Brees, Manning and Favre for 4QCB and GWD QB Games started Wins Losses 4QCB GWD Brees 27 10 17 2 5 (3 seasons) Brady 30 20 10 5 6 (3 seasons) Manning 32 16 16 7 8 (2 seasons) Favre 29 17 12 6 6 (3 seasons) Mahomes 23 17 6 3 4 (3rd season) Kelly 28 10 18 2 2 (2nd season*) Allen 17 10 7 5 7 (in 2nd season) What JA is doing is special. He is the definition of a clutch QB. If he is doing this in year 2, what will he be in yrs 4-5?
  6. I'm not trying to call you out, but I'm calling you out because there is so much wrong with this post. You didn't seem to grasp the nature of the post at all. That happens. But then you conflate things with a ridiculous straw man argument that went over the top. Bringing Brady into the conversation is asinine. Where did I mention Brady in the OP? Where did I compare JA or any 2018 QB with Brady? I clearly compared the top 5 QB selections in what is supposed to be a good QB draft and compared them against each other. I pointed out an overlooked FACT when comparing QBs. After that I compared 1 QB to 1 QB in the past with what I find to be similar traits. Prove me wrong with facts, not ridiculous statements. The nature of the post, since you missed it completely, is that stats don't always tell the story. Sometimes a QB is better than the stats tell. That is why I included completion % in the comparison, to be honest. Some QBs have the moxy to win games they shouldn't. 5 QBs were first round talent, one QB has almost as many 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives as the other 4 combined about a season in. That means something, and it should be a point of hope to a fan base. Keep a game within reach, and let the QB do his job, win. There are one or two QBs you can say that about in the last 20 years. One is very much like JA. I mention Brett Favre and have all along because his college completion % was bad. He came from a smaller school. He was elusive and could scramble. He had a devil may care moxy and attitude. He had a lot of terrible games and head scratching throws. He had a canon for an arm. Does this not sound familiar? He also found ways to win. Fans felt that no deficit in the 4th quarter was insurmountable. Sometimes it was true, more often than not. JA has 7 game winning drives in 17 games. That is a FACT. Whether you like it or not. 70% of his wins are comebacks. 70%. No other 2018 QB has more than 4, another fact. I'll take the roller coaster as long as JA finds ways to win. JA will drive us nuts, so did Brett Favre to GB fans. They are far more similar than they are different. JA is a natural winner and he is proving it. He is better at it than the rest of his class despite the metrics and the stats. That was the point of the post.
  7. 16-10 looks a lot better now.... JA for 4 quarters coming to Foxborough sometime soon. Buffalo is one of 3-4 teams in the AFC that can stop this madness. Will require a mobile QB like Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen and a sick defense.
  8. Agree 100%. Early Drew Brees was ok, but not a game winner. I remember his early career in SD. Looked completely rattled in his first playoff game. SD gave up on him. JA is a franchise QB. Give it some time. He has 'it'. He is a curve pusher, a multiple sigma stat destroyer. JA has 10 wins, 7 of them were game winning drives and it's less than 20 games in. Dude is a gamer and wants to win, and he is all Buffalo.
  9. QB # Started Wins Losses Comp% 4th_Quarter_Comebacks Game_Winning_Drives 1 19 8 11 61.7 3 4 2 14 11 3 61.0 1 1 3 16 5 11 58.0 1 1 4 17 10 7 56.4 5 7 5 16 3 13 54.8 1 2 So the guy with the highest completion % has a losing record so far... QB 2 was considered the worst 'throwing' QB of the draft but has the second highest completion percentage of the Big 5 in 2018 and the most wins. QBs not numbered 4 have a total of 6 4th quarter comebacks, and 8 game winning drives. QB 4 has the second worst completion percentage, but has 5 4th quarter comebacks and 7 Game Winning Drives. Some may say that guy is clutch. That QB is of course Josh Allen. QB 1 = Baker Mayfield QB 2 = Lamar Jackson QB 3 = Sam Darnold QB 4 = Josh Allen QB 5 = Josh Rosen If you were down 10 with the 4th quarter to go who would you want to be the QB of your team? Waaaayyy back after Josh Allen was drafted I looked for a QB, any QB with his college metrics, moxy, athleticism and IQ to JA. The only QB I could find was Brett Favre. I got roasted pretty hard. I still think the analysis holds true. Based on college metrics and success Brett Favre was a once in 20 year QB and JA has higher scores in Wonderlic, 40 time etc. Both of them are gamers, unafraid to make any throw, can get away from trouble, and not daunted being down 2 scores. They also both made/ will make head scratching terrible throws. We all remember Brett Favre the HOF and Super Bowl winner. We forget the awful picks and bad games. That is because despite bad halves, bad picks, or bad games Favre always bounced back. JA is showing the same. Look at last week, 1st half for JA was a disaster, second half was what 10-11 120 yds 2 TD and 0 turnovers? JA just gets into a zone at times, and it's great to watch. The rest of the NFL is slow to acknowledge it, but don't let JA get into a zone. He has done it in multiple games. Funk, funk, funk, EXPLOSION, funk. We have yet to see a complete game. it is coming. Brees took years to develop, Manning took years to develop, Favre took years to develop. I love this QB. He hates to lose, he will try any throw, and can get out of trouble if needed. There will be 'bad Josh' even 10 years from now. But 'good Josh' is spectacular, and is clutch. 70% of his wins are game winning drives. Keep a good D around this guy and Buffalo will be in every game he starts for his career. And yes I still think they should get RB help before the deadline.
  10. I don't like the turf It belongs to Buffalo So says the Dolphin
  11. Rumor has it the Jets doctors have consulted with Captain Andrew Luck to obtain some left over squirrel oil to rub on the shoulder as a magic liniment. A second consulting doctor will turn to voodoo if the squirrel oil does not work.
  12. I find it refreshing hearing someone tell the truth. Flacco has quit. For once someone is not sugar coating things and I like it.
  13. LOL, Troy Aikman "This is the worst offense I've ever seen. I'm surprised so many people are still in the stands" Tell us what you really think Troy.
  14. Joe Flacco looks completely checked out, and Moore looks pumped up. Which one retired and was out of the game for a year? Having Joe Flacco as your leader is like following Droopy Dog, or Dopey the Dwarve into battle. I think making them finish the game is worse punishment.
  15. That's how I saw it, and I'm no fan of the Packer or Lions.
  16. ESPN is not sugar coating it. Booger and SVP discussing it.
  17. Detroit absolutely got rooked this game in calls against and non calls. WWE bush league level stuff.
  18. Is that because of play calling or a lack of an RB who can handle 20 carries a game? Gore can not handle 20 carries a game at 36. He is a great situational asset, so is Motor. Who is the stud in the RB room? It is empty. Get Ballage/ Drake/ Lindsay etc...... Maybe Josh Allen would look better with more balance from the run game.
  19. Buffalo will need a RB 2-4 next year. A bruiser/ bell cow. With Singletary as a chancg of pace, it will be nice. But why wait until next year? The AFC is weak this year, go get it.
  20. Don't get me wrong. Gore has been solid to the break. But he was averaging 2.5 before a few 4th qtr carries. Expecting a 36 yr old to be a bell cow for 16 games to spell a 2nd yr QB is dumb. Singletary is nothing more than a change of pace back. A good one, but not a guy that can carry the ball 15-20 a game. To be fair Yeldon has made some plays in spot duty, do you want him as RB1 if Gore goes down? Brown/Beasly/Foster(I)/McKenzie/Williams/Roberts Gore/Yeldon/Singletary(I) What position is deeper f you want to make a run this year?
  21. Your premise seems to be wrong, Gore split time with Ballage and Drake. We are one injury to a 36 yr old RB from toting Yeldon out for 20 carries a game. Singletary has proven nothing in this league for longevity. 3 games in, 3 games out. And I'd be fine for trying Ajayi out, except for his knees. Sony Michel and Todd Gurley are also prime examples. With Michel, his 2-4 yrs pair with Brady. The Rams already spent draft capital to improve RB. If team like the Bills sees it is in a win-win situation, go get help now and make a run.
