This is exactly why I wasn’t nervous if the Bengals had gotten in. Good luck with that atrocious defense stopping what the Bills had going today

This is not an earth shattering revelation, but I think Groot had to have a big game. Not necessarily getting sacks, but he needs to play outstanding in run defense. If he can, that certainly allows guys like Milano to make plays

Nah im afraid the Ravens move the ball at will and if that happens it’ll be over. I don’t care what our offense does… there’s different grades of matching up defensively. Based on what I’ve seen this season our defense doesn’t come close in this one. Hope I’m wrong.
Their defense just gave up 250 yards passing to Russell Wilson in one half! Why aren’t any of your comments directed towards the fact that they will have to stop Buffalo as well?

Bills are favored -1
Game is Sunday.
Doesn’t say if it’s early or late game. It’s up as if it’s the early game for now. We will see.
I don’t think there’s any way they are not going to put the 2 MVP front runners on during prime time

They’re gonna add an 8th team and top two seeds will get buys I think somewhere down the road
You can’t have 8 teams and the top 2 get byes. Doesn’t work mathematically

Josh Allen now has 29 TDs against 6 turnovers in 11 playoff games. 100+ passer rating.
Lamar has 11 TDs, 9 TOs and 81.2% passer rating in 7 playoff games.
If we can find a way to slow Henry, I like our chances of advancing in High Mark.
Well remember, for some reason we can’t count total TDs and total turnovers. We all know that rushing touchdowns and fumbles aren’t real turnovers, according to Lamar apologists

Projecting?
Hey “Ya Digg” what does that even mean?
Herbert didn’t play well, and he’s not generally been able to win big games (Chiefs, Playoff Jags choke, Playoff Texans).
But I think Herbert has the arm, youth, and toughness to improve. They need to keep investing at WR like the Bills, of course they will.
A lot of QBs escape criticism - Joe Burrow gets none despite two picks against KC in the 2022 AFCCG and not being able to move the ball at all in the 4th-Quarter, fumble TD against the Chiefs this year, late game picks against the Ravens and Eagles.
It wasn’t until last year that Lamar got some whispers after the 2023 AFCCG.
Good one, you really got me there with my handle…as opposed to ”Straight Hucklebuck”-that’s some good stuff right there.
So here’s the thing with the “keep investing” in weapons comments-THEY HAVE! When Herbert got there, they had several playmakers already, including Ekeler and Keenan Allen. They have used multiple first round picks on offensive linemen and Quentin Johnson. Yes Johnson has been bad, but you can’t say they haven’t invested in weapons.
You think Lamar’s just started getting criticized?!?! He has been criticized as much as Allen has! Even on here, how many times have people said he is a running back playing QB
-
I honestly can’t wait to watch the meltdowns and doom and gloom in here over the next week! It’s going to be awesome!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah I have no idea what this thread is trying to accomplish.
Some fragile Buffalo mindset where we have to prove to ourselves that Allen really is good because a similar statured QB lost in the Playoffs.
Good for us I guess.
Oh good god, projecting much? I started the thread because Herbert for the most part has been able to escape criticism for much of his career, and my question was why, that’s all. I have even said on multiple occasions that he is incredibly talented. That being said, he is definitely missing that “it” factor, there’s no denying that.
At this point, I believe that Herbert has questions to answer-up until this point I don’t think many felt the need to question him

after money came in yesterday on the bills. I've never seen a line do this in the day and a half before a game. The line got up to 9.5 yesterday, now 7.5. Crazy
I think it’s crazy how much a team (the Ravens) playing has had such an effect on another team (the Bills) that they aren’t even playing! Every time the Ravens have played well, the general public has held that against the Bills. Clearly it happened with the MVP debate and I can guarantee that the Ravens game last night had had a huge effect on the betting for the Bills game today

Audric Estime being out is a big one for the Broncos. Arguably has been their best RB this year.
He rushed for only 300 yards this year-doesn’t look like he was very involved in the offense

Herbert doesn't have much around him, frankly. The WR group is weak (look at all the drops yesterday, yikes), the O LIne cannot block anyone and is being rebuilt, and the Harbaugh/Roman bromance playcalling looks pretty sleepy. That Greg Roman is still calling plays in the NFL is silly, but hey he's Harbaugh's old school buddy.
Josh had the same situation in 2017 and 2018 and just made his own plays to compensate... Seems Herbert can't or is not allowed to create on this own.
So my OP wasn't based off of yesterday's game, it's based off the fact that he has been in the league several years and has gone to the playoffs only 2 times. The Chargers have invested heavily on the offensive side of the ball to give Herbert weapons. Multiple first round picks used on wide receivers and the offensive line. When he was drafted by them they already had big time weapons in Ekeler and Allen.
As a fan of Josh (as we all are) and have had to defend him from criticsm for years, I think it is more than fair that it is now time during this offseason for Herbert to face his fair share of criticism. The guy has somehow escaped it ever since he came into the league, and I hope people are finally starting to see what I've been seeing for a while

Turning around and handing it to #22 25 times is a good formula. Hard to imagine them laying an egg with that team they have
Russell Wilson threw for 250 yards in the second half yesterday…the Bills can put up points on that defense

I've said for three weeks it's a PR stunt.
I guess he is a good practice resource.
They literally said the day he signed that he knew what he was signing up for. There were no promises made, he was signed to the PS not the active roster, and my guess is that you would’ve crushed both Hyde and the Bills if he did in fact play and got burned a couple of times

I like Herbert. I think you can win with him at quarterback. There are only so many franchise quarterbacks in the league and you'd be lucky to have him as yours.
Does every quarterback have to be compared to Josh to be classified as a franchise guy?
I'll caveat by saying that I did not watch the game today and I'm aware he threw 4 picks. This is just going from my eye test of what I've seen of him over the years.
As I mentioned in my OP, I think he is really talented. That being said, he should not be above criticism and for some reason he largely is. Outside of perhaps Mahomes, go through any QB other than Herbert who most would say are, let’s say, the top 8 QBs in the league and they all get criticized. Herbert has gone to the playoffs twice, lost both games, has missed the playoffs several times, so I don’t understand why he gets to skate by

Did anyone really think Herbert is a top 5 QB?
Absolutely people do/did. All offseason he was very much in the discussion of being in the top 5. I’m not saying I agree with that, clearly I don’t, but he is always mentioned as a top guy. Same with Stroud, but his team won so I will hold off on him for now

Sorry if already discussed, but was Diggs on the sideline? I didn’t see him once today.
Yea he was-I didn’t see him during the game but I saw a bunch of pics and videos of him in the sideline before the game. Him and Dell were both there

Watching this game should let us all know how lucky we are to have Josh on our team. Herbert is unbelievably talented, but it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t have “it”. Somehow year after year this guy has avoided criticism, so if there isn’t a “Herbert is overrated” club I would like to officially start it.
To me, the difference between what Josh brings to the table and what Herbert does is the size of the Grand Canyon. If there is anyone who still thinks Herbert is a top 5 QB, please let me know what you see in him, because he’s not the guy

If the Chargers don’t win, Herbert better start getting criticized finally in his career. He is unbelievably talented, but he’s just not THE guy

They were questioning him as far as whether he should be brought back next year depending on how much he would cost.
I didn't see anyone questioning him as to whether he should be brought back this year at the extremely affordable rate we're paying him this year.
Here’s 2 screenshots of people questioning his character, not mentioning anything about next year

Was there any doubt that Cooper would be back?
If you read the other thread about Cooper, people were definitely questioning him
I wonder if any of them are going to eat crow publicly about what they said....I'm guessing no

There is a difference between "expectations" and "aspirations."
We aspire to win a Super Bowl. It is our goal. We work together to put everything towards that goal. But, we also understand that there are a lot of variables and unforeseen circumstances that may keep us from that ultimate goal. If it doesn't happen, we reassess, reload, and try again with our full effort. We don't see it as failure, but growth...and we learn to appreciate all of the good and fun moments along the way. The big plays, the big games, the individual and team records being set, the overcoming adversity, the personal stories, the love of competition, the camaraderie, etc.
We expect to win a Super Bowl. So, if we don't, then everything has been a failure. The players aren't good enough, the coaches aren't good enough. There is nothing to look back fondly on because it all came to nothing, it didn't go as we wanted or expected it to go, so the rest of it is meaningless. [That may be a bit of an over exaggeration, but that is the mentality that expectations create. If expectations are not met, then there is nothing but failure and disappointment. btw, the Universe very rarely brings us what we expect, so sometimes it's best to not expect anything and just enjoy the ride.]
Plus, most of the negative posters "expected" an 8-10 win rebuild season, no AFC East title, possibly no playoffs for some. The team goes 13-4, gets its 5th AFC East title in a row, and snags the #2 seed in the playoffs. So, their expectations for this year have already been surpassed actually. But does anyone get any credit for that other than Josh? No, now expectations have been revamped to if they don't win the Super Bowl...
I’ve said it many times on here before-the negative posters look at these situations as a win win. If the Bills win, nobody cares what they said, they don’t get held accountable and they get to celebrate with everyone else.
If the Bills lose, there are some in here who get to say “I told you so” and to them that is more important than the team actually having success

What level of family emergency is acceptable for him to be excused from a Week 18 game, or for God’s sake, a playoff game?It was a meaningless week 18 game, one that he hardly would’ve played in, calm down.
Also, football is a game, it’s literally just a game. Nobody is owed any sort of explanation at all

Bills vs Ravens Divisional Round
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I feel like they should just designate one day AFC and one day NFC. That way the teams that going to the conference championship games each have the same amount of rest
