Allen2Moulds

Maybe he was but hurt about his girlfriend not being there. I can't believe she expects us to cheer for her or something....psst.

Him and Josh are buddies. It could've honestly been a sign of respect. But I honestly don't know, or don't know much about the golf claps history.

TB is a special player, and doesn't get enough recognition. Out of all the players that were out during the playoff game last year, I told my son going in, that he was the one player we needed the most. I forget who, but I believe it was Orlovsky who watched the tape, and said that TB was calling out the plays, and knew exactly what KC was going to do, before they did it. Mentioned that TB got upset with Taron on the TD, because he knew what was going to happen before it happened. This is what makes me feel different about us going forward with a true QB on defense. My intent wasn't to bash Edmunds, but since others are still defending him, I have to say, that Edmunds was the def of average. Elite Physical traits, but below average instincts = average linebacker. Yes.....he took up space, but more is needed out of the QB of your defense, so much more.

I totally agree with you. I was friends with the beat writer for the Bucs, and there were countless stories about players and coaches getting back stabbed. Players around the league talk. I think it's why he waited so long to return.

I guess being nasty, and hurling insults is your thing. I won't even try and take that from you. WOW

That had more to do with what Kelly did, in my opinion, but I didn't agree with him. And again, that was 3 years ago. It's possible he no longer feels that way. Plus, at the time, we're talking about Allen who was in year 2 of his takeoff, vs. a HOF 4X conference Champ Kelly. Not fair to even compare the 2 at that point

I live in Tampa, and it's not uncommon to see him out. I always heard stories about him, and how he was kind of a nasty person. I went to a local sports bar chain, and he was there with his wife and adult son, just hanging. Nobody was really talking to him, and he looked over at me a couple times, almost like saying it's ok to approach, so I did, and we started talking football. I asked him what he thought about Allen, and he said, you guys got a real good one there, but he ain't 12. Keep in mind, that was about 3 years ago, but it still surprises me. But then I started thinking about all the playoff success Kelly had, and the Superbowl appearances, and it kind of made sense. Until Allen takes us to the Superbowl, his greatness is going to be severely limited, at least the perception of it, outside of Buffalo. Forgot to add, he was nice as can be, and was more than willing to talk football for a bit. I think he knew his image had taken a big hit, and he was making an effort to clean it up. Love him or hate him, he's a good football mind

So weird.

Would love this. Especially if we could keep Taron in place of Hamlin.

Luckily we have a nice cushion this year, and can afford to play it safe with guys. That's McDermott's MO anyhow. I expect he'll be out 3-4 weeks and miss a game or 2.

MVS has 3 for 108 and 2 TDs today. Not saying he's the answer, but I didn't agree with the decision to part with him. He was the only legit deep threat we had. After seeing Jamar Chase go off on that same Baltimore defense that our WRs struggled against, it's hard for me to feel that way. Ideally you want a top 10 WR, like we had with Diggs, and really good #2. We have Allen, let's try and build the scary offense we can. He's seasoned enough now, that makes it hard for any WR coming in to challenge him, or create a problem.

Kind of hard to catch passes with a banged up wrist. As much as we might need him, we can't risk losing him for the season. We need him against KC in January, not November.

Agree with this and would like to make one minor request, for the Bengals to also miss the playoffs. The way McD runs his team, I expect us to grind it out, all the way through week 18 with the mantra if getting better every week. That's just his style. It would need to be that we are locked in seeding wise, and week 18 is completely meaningless, in order for McD to sit starters. In my opinion of course.

This is exactly how I feel. I know it was a couple of years ago, and there's been a decent amount of turnover for both teams, but I still haven't been able to shake the beatdown that they gave us in the playoffs. Regardless, they feel like the tougher out in the playoffs.

Hopefully it's nothing more than a bone bruise.
