I think it was Bulldog on WGR who said he got a little worried when he heard Tua was out because it might mean they have more of a chance - that about covers it for me as well.

Yeah good point. Didn't they only lose Sammy though or am I forgetting somebody else from last year? They've always kind of just ran with a mixture of 4s and 5s - Hardman, Pringle, Demarcus Robinson - guys who can't carry the load but are good and varied enough to keep you honest. I completely missed that they picked up Jerick McKinnon for example. They always have a pile of guys after Hill and Kelce that can break a game open it seems. Perhaps that may not work as well this season. I'm so sick of the Chiefs worship personally so I'm all for people figuring them out.

He was statistically better through two games last season but I definitely remember similar conversations about people still doubting him through the first two weeks last year, particularly after the first Jets game. All the way through Week 7 really, many were ready to kick him to the curb after the Titans game, more after the Chiefs loss the next week. So maybe just maybe he'll pick things up a bit.

They completely shut down Tyreek Hill. Nice one, Ravens.

Is Derrick Henry creeping into the best ever RB conversation at this point? He's incredible. Clearly picking up where he left off last year which puts him on a 3 year stretch that I can't remember since maybe Terrell Davis?

I mean...35-0 Has that even happened before? People are dismissing this like we regularly shut teams out...

How about flashes of elite play (Diggs TD pass) while shutting out a division opponent in only week 2? Maybe things will get better? I’m not opposed to criticism so much as the “put up or shut up” comment...after today, which I just found funny.

I get that he has looked better and made some really bad throws today, but all of the talk about how “he better earn that money” and “no excuses” after a 35-0 blowout is weird. Isn’t that more so putting up than shutting up? If Josh wins a ring but does it with a pedestrian 3500 passing yards and 84 rating, is there going to be disappointment?

“Grrrr it’s put up or shut up time”...as the team shuts out a division opponent So you just want stats basically?

Aaron Rodgers has a man bun now? Man for all of the Allen worry here imagine dealing with that mess in GB.

35-0 ho hum. Trust me guys I know quarterbacks.

There’s still plenty of time for people to whine about a 35+ point victory.

You know some refs are good, and then some refs are bad...(awkward silence) Heck of a game, Matt Millen.

Great throw Josh

Meanwhile Sam Darnold looks like the best QB in the league, because we’re only 6 quarters deep which is pretty much meaningless...

Alright that ball was awful

Glad it worked out obviously but once again even the play by play guy was like “just got it away”

Already nervous about this Haack from the end zone punt

It’s those takes at this point that are hilarious. Josh isn’t even a good NFL player now? Lol ok

And our punter still sucks.

I’m mildly concerned but folks are in here acting like Josh didn’t just throw an MVP caliber TD like 20 mins ago...

Bills - 17 Dolphins - 13 Our now traditionally slow start continues and we will not be happy with the product and mass panic will continue, but it's an extremely valuable W and things will continue to get better

Yes, but then about 3 or 4 hours later I do often take a peak at the post-game thread and turn on WGR in case I missed any entertaining meltdowns. Then pretty much off for a few days until the week starts picking up.

Trying really hard and can't think of a more boring team

Just in case you're not aware Chris Simms is probably the biggest Josh Allen homer not named Jordan Palmer. He loves Allen, he's almost annoyingly positive about Allen in all instances. I think this is a pretty solid, critical breakdown. Frustrating really.
