It starts with getting rid of Diggs.

What's with the hyperbole. Now Martin is one of the best punters in the league? The Bills O-line is the very best? Bass is one of the most reliable kickers in the league? Cheapens the truth, which is the Bills have only one player who is the best in the league.

We're going to have to replace both Babich and Brady after this season.

I mean, how could Allen--or any quarterback--be playing better? What do you want?

All short throws and YAC this year, the opposite of the Dorsey offense.

No pass rush worth mentioning.

I wonder if anyone has run the stats. Seems like kickers never miss against us.
I have kicker envy every game now.

It looked late, high AND shanked.

I hope he does...just as Rapp knocks his ass out.

Yes Chris, so magical. The unnecessary pump fakes and throw to the wide open TE.
His throws are almost always to wide-open receivers, or short dumps that turn into long gains. I don't see many "Oh, wow!" plays that Allen produces every game.

They will downplay how bad of a throw it is, and emphasize how great the defensive play was.
You were right. "I asked him, 'How do you defend against a player as great as Patrick Mahomes?"

How is Collingsworth going to justify that pick as a brilliant play only one man on the planet is capable of?

It's the Chiefs. Ergo, he made it, according to the Ref Handbook.

I watch alone because I mute the commercials. Most other people keep them on for some reason. Also, I have to confess when the other team is doing well, I often mute the commentary, sometimes even if the Bills are dominating. The announcers are usually just so grating to listen to.

He isn't even ahead of Anderson on the depth chart. SVPG is 3rd string center right now. He has been solid in the two games but these people are basing their assertion that he "must start" on nothing other than they liked the draft pick. So did I. I said at the time it was possibly my favourite pick the Bills made in the draft. That does not mean he was ready to start day 1 ahead of really experienced guys like McGovern and Edwards (who won a Superbowl as a starting guard lest we forget).
It's possible the depth chart says more about Anderson than SVPG. Maybe someone with access to the All-22 film can verify, but he seems active and effective when he's on the field as a sixth blocker. Feisty demeanor, too, as we learned in preseason. Have they found a gem in Anderson?

Dayum. Finally someone saying something that makes sense.
Right? These highly paid "experts" obviously don't bother watching the games or looking at the numbers. They just indulge their biases in a case study of logical fallacies. So Joe Burrow is better because he has more swagger, Lamar is better because he's a dual threat, ignoring Allen's similar run production and superior air production, Mahomes is better because of his higher TDs thrown vs turnovers ratio, ignoring Allen's far superior overall TD/turnover ratio. Criticize Allen for not making it to the Super Bowl, ignoring his actual performance in the playoffs.
Nice work if you can get it. Spout garbage and laugh all the way to the bank.

I think one thing that made Brady impressive is that he could succeed regardless of the circumstances. If had a bad offensive line, for example, he'd make a good presnap read, decide who to throw the ball to, and get the ball out in 2.1 seconds. If he had Randy Moss, he'd air the ball out. If he didn't have deep threats, he'd successfullly dink and dunk down the field. He factored in the strengths and weaknesses of both his team and the opponent and played appropriately. Not all QBs have the temperament or talent to do that.
As much as I despise Brady's character and smirky ratface, I have to agree with you. He adapted to the strengths and weaknesses of the team around him and had success with a wide range of team types. That's pretty impressive.
It's just a shame he was (and is) a whiny, self-important, cheating, lying, fatuous POS. (Full disclosure: I lived in New England during his entire career.)

the drop stats must be misleading. I literally saw him drop a ball last game. He was hit from behind after catching it, and dropped it— maybe it doesn’t count as a drop because of the hit. But it hit him in the chest and he dropped it.Was it a 60-yard throw with the game on the line when he dropped the pass that hit him squarely on the chest perfectly in stride? (Asking for a friend.)

Bills have been leaders in that under Brady...lead the NFL in rushing percentage at 53.2% since he has been here...basically turning into the early Steelers under Roethlisberger or the 2003 Ravens.
A running team equipped also with a superstar at quarterback. Watch out.

I do too. The issue is that Draft Class has so many Post Round 1 hits, are we going to be able to extend them all?
Benford may or may not be Priority 1. All these players were Drafted in the same class and all their contracts come due at the same time. And they're all going to be pricey.
James Cook
Terrel Bernard
Khalil Shakir
Christian Benford
That's a nice class.

Considering the Chiefs won by a toe against an 0-2 team that just lost at home to the Raiders, and then won on a ticky-tack DPI call against a Bengals team missing Tee Higgins....
And considering that the Bills came from behind to beat what looks like a hot Cardinals team and then absolutely destroyed the Dolphins in their house in September...
I'm going with the Bills.
Oh, and the Bills are scoring more points per game and allowing less points per game, too.
The cherry on top is that the Bills' QB is playing better than the Chiefs' QB right now.
Oh, come on. Just because Mahomes is completing a lower percentage of his passes for a lower average, with three touchdowns compared to Allen's five and three interceptions to Allen's none, you're saying he's still not playing better? He's Mahomes! He has to play better! It's in the media handbook, man. So don't go muddying the water with facts and reality, ok?

Please.
Virtually nobody ignores completely or even downplays his production. Maybe a couple dozen guys in dusty internet corners.
And it's great that Allen has all those TDs, if Allen wasn't getting those running TDs, they'd be handoffs instead and many would still be touchdowns.
As great and productive as he is, having too many turnovers hurts. It just does. Don't spin and try to ignore it. It's a factor that needs to be considered. It hurts the team. All factors need to be considered. Including the TOs.
It's a good sign that he has fewer INTs this year so far this year. Shows they're taking the pressure off him. He doesn't feel he has to win the game himself. Small sample size concerns, though.
He's terrific. Second-best in the league, IMO. But that doesn't mean that being one of the highest in the league in turnovers doesn't hurt his team. It does.
You're reading me as implying turnovers don't matter or hurt one's team. Please. You're also ignoring what I'm saying explicitly, that none of the talking heads who stress Allen's turnovers, a take you repeat here, mention his extraordinary TD to turnover ratio.
In short, your post exhibits exactly the lazy, biased mindset I'm deploring: "Allen? Yeah, good player, but his turnovers hurt his team." Why not, "Allen? A few more turnovers than his top peers, but far, far, far more TDs: 15 more than the MVP, 17 more than 'the best QB in football.'"

Random talking head says something about the Bills
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Agree he's not one of the dummies you see everywhere on national platforms just spouting The Narrative, but I would take the "data-driven reasoning" with a grain of salt. For instance, he sneered at the Bills' fast start in 2022, calling them "Mr. September," ignoring the glaring fact that they had the best December record over the previous five years. None of his chums corrected him, of course, even with all the data in front of them and producers in their earpieces.
No, now that The Narrative has his precious Patrick Mahomes ensconced as the best quarterback in the league, he's fine with dispensing favors to the underlings who once threatened that crown.
