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

Nor should he !
You picked A dint ya ?
I do find it quite entertaining at how upset people get because he doesn’t give straight answers. I don’t really understand why people think any coaches are going to give straight answers or why they feel entitled to it

If it weren't for the play of our defense this season, would we be the 2 seed?
Is this comment in support of the defense or against it?

I mentioned in the games thread yesterday I expected a lot of ‘experts’ to pick Denver despite the Bills being such big favorites and today I’ve seen a lot of the media guys picking Denver, or at least leaning that way.
Orlofsky did have some interesting things to say about why their D matches up well with Buffalo
Define “a lot of experts”
I read that as you think most experts will choose Denver, which isn’t true. Are there going to be some that choose Denver? Sure, you are very rarely going to see the experts all pick one team in the playoffs.

The only concern I have is their Defense leads the league in sacks AND does a great job of containing QB's in the pocket.
They keep Allen from rolling right,we might have issues.
It’s going to be next to impossible for them to create pressure, keep him from rolling out, AND keep coverage on everybody

Jack did not pop on film year 1 at all. He was mediocre. Joe is tracking. With his ethic, he could be a pro bowl type player some day. Just needs to keep grinding and working hard.
So I’m not saying he can’t/won’t be a pro bowler, but do you actually think this or do you just really really really hope this could happen? If he had been a 2nd/3rd round pick from Kansas instead of the undrafted local boy would you still think the same thing based off what you have seen?

Alright someone explain it to me-why are there so many comments of concern that the Pats might hire Vrabel as their new coach? Am I missing something?

It would make sense in fairness. Both played Saturday so next Saturday no one has an advantage. Same with Bills, Broncos for Sunday. If you play Ravens, Steelers Sunday, they both get 8 days and Bills, Broncos only get 6 days on Saturday.
But of course, NFL only cares about ratings.
On the flip side of this-neither Denver or Buffalo loses anything if they play Saturday, and if/when Buffalo wins they get an extra day of rest for the divisional round

Absolutely no one in the building will say this but I gotta imagine pretty close to 100% of 1BD is super happy to be avoiding Joe Burrow
Put me as part of whatever percent you think doesn’t make it 100. Bengals defense is trash, Josh would’ve hammered them. Bengals feasted on terrible teams at the end

I think Herbert is better. Burrow is living off his defense forcing crazy turnovers in the playoffs and intercepting Tannehill/ Mahomes like 6x
But what does that have to do with the pro bowl for this season?

Does burrow have a winning record the past two years?
Look, I’ve been railing against Burrow all week….for MVP. The guy is definitely a pro bowler this year. Honestly, winning should never be brought into the conversation when people are talking about Herbert. 1 playoff game his entire career so far (yes I know they are playing next week)

Just now, Kelly to Allen said:
Herbert should have been in the pro bowl over burrow.
If this was a joke, I laughed. If not, yikes

Sorrt of. 51 total TDs to 14 turnovers for Burrow.
Brees's best year, he had 47 total TDs and 14 turnovers.
He averaged about 18 turnovers per year in his prime. Averaged. Some years were atrocious.
Where do you see 51 total touchdowns? I see 46 passing and 2 rushing

Remember…
Bills trades 9th, 2015 1st and 4th to Cleveland for 4th to pick Watkins
I still get PTSD from time to time thinking about how many draft picks the Bills gave up for him….what did we all end up deciding it was? 7 picks? 12 picks? It seemed to grow by the day

Brees was a stat padder and turned the ball over a lot. He may have had 1 season where he was worthy of supplanting Brady or Manning or Rodgers.
Sounds exactly like Burrow this season 🤷♂️

Burrow has some serious weapons on offense in Chase, Higgins and Gesicki, and even Iosivas and Chase Brown. But if his defense hadn't let him down and the refs didn't screw them against the Chefs, they'd be in the playoffs.
That doesn't make him an MVP candidate though. I mentioned this before, but Drew Brees routinely threw for over 5,000 yards, but he was never a serious candidate for MVP until the defense around him improved. Burrow isn't putting up the stats Brees was so he's in the same boat.
The guy's stats HAVE to contribute to the team consistently winning. Again, Burrow's stats aren't even record breaking, they are just good stats

Allen vs Herbert
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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
