I don't hear a lot of ripping on Lamar, but maybe I'm just not listening. This guy at SI is ripping on Spencer Brown as taking a "thinly veiled shot" at Lamar, though. I don't see or hear a "shot". https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/bills-spencer-brown-takes-shot-baltimore-ravens-lamar-jackson I think Spencer Brown's point is that last season, Josh did have a lot of stats over Lamar - not "every", OK, but passing yards, passing TDs, 1st downs, 4 Q comebacks, game winning drives, rushing TDs, rushing 1st downs. Jackson had a higher completion percentage, higher pass Y/A, and more rushing yards and yards/attempt (also more fumbles). Then people were making the point to justify Lamar as MVP "well, it's not just about the stats, it's about what he means to the team's success". So now some of the same people are looking at what Josh Allen means to the Bills success with most of the pundits predicting the Bills have no talent left and wouldn't even make the playoffs or win the division (and also cleaning up the INTs), and those same people are saying "oh, Lamar should win it because he has better stats, more passing yards, more passing TDs". That's Brown's point. Tell us you don't understand how the MVP selection process works, without telling us that you don't understand how the MVP selection process works.

Diggs wasn't very super-star-like last season, after the first 6 games or so. What kept Josh from consideration last season was really all the turnovers.

Got to say though, the guy is a bit delusional thinking Rodgers could have run for the 1st down (Romo was saying "Run it". This is what was waiting for Rodgers at the first down marker. An accurate throw to 20, though, might convert. I absolutely agree. Fall down and protect the ball Big J

"Tipped and intercepted by a LINEMAN" Oh, the humanity!

has them 9-8 and 3rd in the AFC East See above - not the bottom but #3 There's a "how it started....how it's going" meme someone put together summarizing all of the experts picks (Rich Eisen, the CBS team, GMFB I think) for the AFCE and then the actual standings at the point where the Bills clinched.

I can't say you're wrong. Someone was opining that when you have a late-career great QB like Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers, they are really the OC and the OC's job is to figure out what they like and install that. Where that goes off the rails is if the QB has really lost a few steps to where they can no longer execute their own offense, and that's what's happened with Rodgers. In Denver with Manning, it worked because Kubiak actually knows something and could come up with something that worked and talk Manning into it. I could be mistaken, but I don't think Nathaniel Hackett is a good football coach. While the assignment was "do what Rodgers wants" he was fine, but when it changed to "figure out something that will work and then get Rodgers to buy into it", he lost the flick.

Oooof.

Not sure? Ty Johnson not sure either since he left his feet too.

Well, he reconsidered his reconsiders on that TD throw to Coleman. I LOL’d at the Twitter clip captioned “***** it - Coleman is down there somewhere” The thing is, I don’t think Josh has ever played with a receiver in the NFL who could be counted on to go up and get a jump ball like Keon can. And it was pretty well thrown where it’s Keon’s ball, or no one’s ball.

Don’t hold back, Pat, tell us how you really feel. It is, actually. I probably should just mute it though.

Did Collinsworth seriously just say of Daniel’s “everyone else in the league slides right there” C’mon Cris.

LOL. I can not imagine who, on the Jets, thought it was a good idea to march onto another team’s home field playing ‘Gangsta Paradise”. Josh’s expression says it all. “Seriously? We’re doing this?” Dumbest idea since TikTokBoi dancing pre-game on other team’s logos

Please go smell some grass. Receivers and QBs communicate about incompletions through hand gestures all the time. The next TD pass was thrown higher and caught.

Think he’s referring to a pseudo-bye where we rest many of the starters ‘cuz the win or loss has no seeding impact.

I didn’t know Jamison Crowder was still playing

Looks much better than he looked at USC Looks like he’s seeing the field well, going through his reads, and not getting flustered by pressure I certainly don’t want to listen to or watch Cris Collinsworth doing it!

Over Under on me keeping Collinsworth volume on as far as the 2nd half? The ball washing on Penix and and the Falcons is already unreal.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Sam Darnold played like his jock was on fire and throwing laser darts all over the field would put it out. I wonder what it’s like to be a Jets fan and watch the QB that your team drafted #3 overall (ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson) but then ran out of town, leading Minn to a 14-2 season and the (current) division lead?

Oh, outstanding! Somehow I missed the 2nd sack in the 3Q Way to go, D!

The OP who skipped the question mark and the person who typed all that stuff ware not one and the same

So happy the Bills D denied him his 500th TD. Would have liked us to get another sack so he could set that record for “most sacked”

After the trade deadline, all released players must pass through waivers. Regarding ‘Nard Dog I think your noticer needs to be put on notice.

McDermott will tell you “it all starts up front”. His defensive design critically relies upon mainting gap integrity against the run AND getting enough pressure to make the QB uncomfortable and rushed with 4 DLmen. That’s why historically he’s been able to be a ‘DB whisperer”

Does anyone know anything about Anderson's injury?
