For perhaps a less emotional reaction to tonight’s game, here is the #1 takeaway from the game in NFL.com’s weekly “what we learned from todays games” article: 1) Allen has emerged as a great leader, not just a great talent. Unequivocally, Josh Allen is in the conversation for being the best quarterback in the NFL. However, it was incredibly transparent on a chilly night in Buffalo how much he's grown as a leader and a galvanizing force for the league's best team. Allen doesn't run safely. He should play safer; he should slide a bit more. Allen doesn't always stay composed. He should be a bit more level-headed when he takes exception to an opponent's physicality, rather than having to be pulled away by teammates. But these are reasons why it's clear Allen is beloved by his teammates and the guiding force in the Bills' quest for a first-ever Super Bowl championship. Allen runs to the fray, he doesn't shy away from it. He inspires not just with his play but with the fire in his belly. The ability of Allen -- who had a rather ho-hum night by his standards with 267 yards of offense and two touchdown passes -- to lift his teammates is just as impressive as his weekly statistical success. To see Allen ascend from a one-man adventure in his early seasons to a truly special talent has been astounding. But to see him emerge as a leader ready to fight, scratch and captain his team through all weathers has been pretty damn special, too. The best teams often have the best leaders, and that appears to be the case with the incandescent gunslinger from Firebaugh.

A pop? Safety has instantly become the focus before the deadline.

Phillips had some big time tackles.

Love it. We played one half of awful football and still put up a double digit win. They won’t all be pretty.

The packers kinda stink huh?

Side thought: has anyone here ever called our stadium “Highmark” when referring to it?

That was an awful call by the refs on the OPI. Both were mixed up and the weaker guy fell. And I ***** love it. Makes up for that hands to the face BS from earlier.

Jordan Phillips is checking people like he wants to play for the Sabres. It’s awesome.

Did he re-earn his roster spot you overreacting nerds?

I’m assuming you give these updates for some folks who can’t watch? Any chance you can delay them by 30 seconds for those of us streaming?

That hands to the face was the most ticky tack call I’ve seen in a while

That was a terrible first drive. That’s all. Terrible. Onto the next

Pinero is going to sit in the middle seat of that back row right by the crapper on the flight home. Good thing it should be a short flight.

And somehow all in one season.

Watching a guy lose his job on national tv is always tough.

Yeah but there are a lot of dumb rules, with #1 being that you can horsecollar tackle a QB if he is in the pocket. It’s supposed to be a safety rule so not sure why it’s ok to do in the pocket.

No, he lost it for them.

I would be much more upset that he’s just laughing it up on the sidelines. yes, a kicker should make a 48 yarder. But this is 100% on Moore. Never put your kicker in that situation just to be a showboat. On a 2-5 team.

Thanks for an answer that didn’t involve the death of all involved in the event.

I’m sure it’s been discussed so forgive the repeat question: who am I rooting for in Jets/Pats?

He had an awful game but am I the only one not ready to send him packing? wtf…

I was allowed ONE Josh Allen hall pass from my wife. Let’s not complicate things.

Not sure why everyone is saying this is a bad move for the Chiefs. Looking at just this year, this move potentially makes the Chiefs a little better and we all know what the potential margin for error is against those jerks.

I wanted a dome. And since we knew that wouldn’t happen, I can’t complain about this design. I think it looks cool and if 65% of the seats are somewhat covered, my old ass can opt to sit there while you crazy table-jumping youngsters can enjoy the 31 degree rain/snow combo with a large piece of steel bench to keep your ass nice and medium-rare.

That’s a great story. Ha!
