dollars 2 donuts

What is wrong with some of you guys? Now this is a problem, but we do have a solution...the Madden Solution. We take each effected teams top 3 Madden players and have them play each other...All Madden level, of course. The team that takes 2 out of 3, wins. It can be televised...oh, and they have to use their actual teams...The Titans can't go cherry picking with Rodgers and the Packers, and their OC. No, no, please don't thank me. I do it all for the sake of the game.

Allen has 60 TDs in his career (40 passing, 19 rushing, 1 receiving) after seeing action in 32 games, but 18-13 (including playoffs) as a starter (which is bogus when you consider that the league considers yeoman duty in the Jets loss as a start, but whatever). Jackson has 61 TDs in his career (49 passing, 12 rushing) after seeing action in 34 games, with an impressive 21-5 (including playoffs) as a starter. Weird to think that Josh has started more, but Jackson made regular appearances at the start of his career when he wasn't starting. I wrote about this before, but was inaccurate in my calculations. If you go by starts (and you probably should) Jackson leads 2.26 TDs per game (26 games) to Josh's 1.93 (31 games). However, if you go just by game appearances Josh has it at 1.875 TDs per game (32 games) to 1.74 TDs per game for Jackson (35 games). Here's the thing, though, even with Josh's recent success I doubt anybody...ANYBODY, NOT EVEN THE NFL TALKING HEADS would tell you these two are close in overall TDs. There are many rivalries coming up in Josh's future...I am looking forward to this one as much as I am to any of the others. ...as the ones with Mayfield, Darnold and Rosen are just SO disappointing! 🤣 GO BILLS!

Yeah, I know I am in the minority, but I am just not buying this whole "Miami is one of the worst teams in football thing." Here's a scooch for the kids out in the peanut gallery to naw on for a bit...the Miami Dolphins lost two games to the two best teams in their division who outside of the games they played against them are 3-1, with the 1 loss coming against the Seahawks on the last play. The phins have also done so while being a plus five in the point differential. Here's something else, they held the Pats to 21 points, something the Seahawks and the Raiders (a combined 5-1) couldn't do. Apologies if some of us Buffalo fans see some of the talking heads out there throw down that card, with their eyes lighting up when they look back at us...as we look back completely and thoroughly unimpressed.

My #3 disappointment is COVID. I am one of the minority of guys that would like to have Star back. I don't blame a soul for opting out...but without COVID we have Star and EJ and a packed stadium to enjoy yesterdays game.

I am not saying the Pats are bad and I am not guarantying a win in this game, and I am not saying the Pats won't be able to run against us. I AM saying, though, that I am more worried about being carried away by army ants right now than I am about the Pats running game success.

I am seriously going to lose it if our guys get sick out of another franchise's complacency and just plain laziness. Honestly, I will erupt. No offense to these Bills, but the Bills starting Fromm, MckKenzie, Roberts and Yeldon against the Chiefs on Thursday night all because the Raiders were BS a week and half previously would be...well...BS.

Marry me. I love my wife very much, but I am willing to try and make this work.

West "coast"? 🤣😉

Wait...you just wait one damn minute right there, Shady. How dare you come in after a great victory and start spreading poop from other sources that will upset us. Adam Gase is a beautiful man, OK. A beautiful man, and he will be the coach of the Jets from now until forever and there isn't a damn thing you or your croanies can do about it!!!! *safe space, go back to my safe space...lalalalalala...smell the lavender, let it heal and calm me...*

Yes, but honestly Hap, with inflation isn't Kelly's 1991 yards really about 1,450 and Bledsoe's 2002 maybe 1,200? 😁

Side note, though, is that we have had a top 10 defense for the previous 3 years and right now we are sitting at 20th. I agree with what was said by someone on GR this morning, we may be missing Star a bit. EJ Gaines' experience wouldn't hurt, either. Not all of the woe are due to some of these guys out, but it doesn't help. I truly respect the guys who made the tough decision to opt out. There reasons are there own, and I get it. Family first, amen. ...but if you didn't hate COVID enough in 2020...

I buried the lead, Ed! 😆 thank you brother! Will edit.

Lead with the not so good. trends happen over a few games and one that I’ve notice since the playoff game last year is that the Bills have been out scored a total of 83-40 over the last four games in the second half (thanks Ed!). Houston: 22-6 Jets: 14-6 Miami: 18-14 Rams: 29-14 please change this soon. The Better one, the sexy one, the one I dig beyond all get out is that in the last 15 games Josh Allen has started and finished he has 27 td passes, 8 rushing tds and 1 receiving td for a total of 36. I believe that to be the most tds by a Buffalo Bill over a 15 game span...ever. Long live Kelly, but I think his best over 16 games was 34 (33 passing, 1 rushing). If I am wrong, I am sorry, but I don’t believe I am. I know he has had the best seat in the house for more than a decade, but man my Dad would have loved all this.

Brennan, we won in exciting fashion, but you know what...yeah, buddy, you are damn right. I enjoyed the win, but I literally can’t stop thinking about how that interception...was a real thing that happen in the real plain of existence. ....*looks left and right for Spock’s beard*

TCMA, that is such BS. Edit: for clarification, brother, you are not BS, the ratings are. 😂 they had roster updates after week 1 and Allen should have gotten a point after that week, too. Weirdly, I could maybe live with a 79, f they were consistent with his progress, which they are not. Proof positive to that point being Cam’s increase you mentioned above. Rc2, I’ve notice that for the last two years.

Smuv, they put him in about 3 weeks ago. they must have paid him a good bit, and guaranteed a certain rating.

House, 1 youtuber who covers Madden said of Allen, “some still think he is underrated.” ...umm, maybe I guess. 😏 edit: Allen discussed 3:07-3:44

You know, because they are absolutely brutal at this! This puts Allen at about 20 or 21 in the league. FYI, Mahomes is a 99. Kap is an 81. WEEK 3 UPDATE TJ Watt, 1 point up in three straight weeks, 89 Calvin Ridley, 3 straight 100 yard games and EA says “One of the next great WRs”, 3 points in three weeks to an 86. Josh Allen, AFC player of the month...no change, 79. Cole Beasley, 1 point up to an 84. Tre White, 1 point drop to a 90 (later on in the video). The comments section below in the YouTube video is starting to get feisty with Allen. Week 4 Update: Provided by a number of you. Thank you: https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-21/player-ratings Other Bills on the move up, too.

but embarrassed warcodered? giving up 50 points, maybe.

I know, right? since when is losing to a playoff team by 3 embarrassing?! what circumstances in that game prompted “oh my goodness, no, how did they lose that that game to the Bills?” a good team had a lot of yards against them. Not shocking or surprising...Jeepers.

Repeatedly comments about them getting “embarrassed” against the Bills is...a little much.

Thank you, Miami, as they pick up the AFC East’s first out of division win after losses by the Jets and Patriots. 😎

and no offense to those who might have differing faiths, but yeah, Steve...I absolutely believe these two are in the same back field together, right now. It's one of the first things I thought when I heard the news.

I hear ya, Hap, but I so hope that this is the game that the Bills finally drop 35-42 points on somebody, and it is not impossible against a good defense. I know, I know, master of the obvious here and we all feel that way, but I certainly would sacrifice some ball control for some extra points. Don't leave points on the field, guys. get'em all...all that you can.

Side note: Boy, if 2020 has shown us anything it is that New York City...really doesn't have a clue on much of anything (8/21). https://nypost.com/2020/08/21/josh-allen-feels-destined-to-be-a-fantasy-football-bust-in-2020/ "Though, we also still aren’t thrilled with his receiving corps, despite adding Stefon Diggs this season. And we worry Allen is primed for a decline in rushing TDs. He had eight and nine in consecutive years. Even the best rushing QBs have trouble stringing together eight-TD seasons. Cam Newton, the best comparison for Allen, has done it just once – his first two years (14 and eight). He has topped eight rushing TDs just once since. Dak Prescott had six in three straight seasons before declining to three last year." "...So without confidence Allen can post huge fantasy numbers with his arm, and with history telling us continued production on the ground at his current pace is a rarity, we do not want to spend a sixth- or seventh-round pick on Allen. Especially when other options like Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady are still on the board."
