  1. Mahomes and Reid made a deal with the devil? Seems improbable to have so many situations where it's close to 50/50 that they always seem to come out on top in.
  2. And injuries sustained in that game were a big reason they ultimately lost to the Chiefs.
  3. The Chiefs have that Patriot like quality under Brady that when the games get close near the end they figure out ways to pull them out and be on the right side of them regularly, especially in the playoffs. It's kind of sickening.
  4. Hester was amazing. There was a 2 year period where literally every time they kicked to him you thought he was going to score.
  5. The media has turned this into the NFLs version of Prince Harry and Megan Markle versus the Royal Family where people just make sh!t up and treat it as facts then basically create stories out of thin air and just go with them. It's beyond ridiculous by now.
  6. It looks like something from a rec league.
  7. He better hit the JUGS machine every day this offseason. Premier talent. Has to make those catches...he likely cost the Bills 3-4 TDs alone this year with his drops.
  8. To me, this personally says they were not happy with Butler's ability to get Elam to a place where he could contribute. Especially the part about "mutually decided to part ways". Yes, he may have gotten Benford and Jackson up to speed and helped Douglas integrate well, but the Bills spent a first round pick on Elam who has massive amounts of untapped talent and I feel they are laying some of that at Butler's feet. At the very least they believe he should have been able to help more than he did over the last 2 years. Likely both sides were getting frustrated with McD believing he didn't do enough with Elam and Butler pointing out all the others who performed well above expectations. Likely just both said they had enough and had reached an impasse. Butler also may have felt he did enough for DC consideration but McD likely laughed him off and said we gave you a premier talent and you did nothing with him, how can I justify that?
  9. That has a chance to be a really good hire...he has experience at both WR and QB and can help both groups understand where the others are coming from and what they are seeing on the field.
  10. Not really sure it has to do with security...just not a favorite past time of mine.
  11. Men don't really like rolling around floor with other sweaty men?
  12. Wrecks Ryan going to work on being the last one in and the first one out...but at least him and McCarthy could get some great BBQ together down there.
  13. On TV, I've watched every game since 1987, which the Bills are 316-277 in.
  14. What this man does with his girlfriend behind closed doors is none of our business. Shameful reporting!
  15. Low IQ individuals don't have logic as their friend.
  16. Cam Newton was derailed mostly by a shoulder injury suffered in a car wreck that he never fully recovered from NOT an on-field incident. People conveniently leave this out when discussing his decline. Most of this is really meaningless to be honest. Allen is not any of these other players, he is Allen. He also takes far fewer hits/sacks while in the pocket than the majority of these other players and usually is the one dishing out the contact rather than absorbing it, which also helps in terms of injuries/damage. For many of these QBs, they had major flaws as passers that were exposed once teams forced them to play from the pocket and stopped making it so easy for them to run. Defenses never had to adjust out of that because they couldn't beat them from the pocket if they were forced too. Allen can. Wilson was forced out of the only "system" he ever knew and forced to run a system that was ill suited for his abilities. He went from being allowed wide ranging improvisational and off-schedule creating capabilities to being forced to play within structure and on-schedule. He was terrible last year, but honestly decent this year, finishing with 26 TDs, 8 INTs and a 98 QB Rating this year despite being benched mainly for contractual reasons. Convenient you leave out John Elway(who many DC's say Allen is a much bigger, faster, stronger version of), and who played in a much rougher era, absorbed far more hits and played well into his late 30s, winning his two Super Bowls towards the end of his career. Same for Fran Tarkenton who played until he was 38 and was one of the "original" running QBs. Again in a much rougher era and with no protections afforded like today's QBs get. This is a model example of how the selective use of statistics can show anything you want to and you can come up with something you want to "prove" and then do so using them in a certain way to back your points but leaving out anything that detracts from them. The saying "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics" was created for you, my good Sir.
  17. Ben Johnson reportedly wanted $15 million a year and teams balked so he stayed put.
  18. My God...last time Mac Jones took his spot, now Minshew? What a joke this is becoming.
  19. He didn't ignore him, he threw what would have been a TD pass to a wide open player in the end zone but had his LT pushed into his other shoulder which cause the throw to end up short of the target.
  20. Babich helped have 3 All-Pros in Hyde, Poyer and Milano when he coached safety and LB...and also helped Bernard blossom into having one of the best all-around LB seasons since Seth Joyner in 1991. How will he do calling plays? No clue...but he clearly gets the most out of what he has
