And this is the game where Josh and the Bills crushed them. If Riddick was correct about all BB’s extra work for that game, no wonder he was so frustrated and throwing Microsoft tablets around. 🤪

Yeah, color me baffled. I've never seen the gridiron database be wrong before. This is a huge change.

Now this begs the question... is it possible the social media team got it wrong?

Maybe the original plan was the all-white throwbacks, but then with the potential of snow in the forecast they made the change to the blue tops?  Easier to see your downfield options in a blizzard I suppose.  If that was the case they should have gone full colour rush 😉

So Brown and Star are off the COVID list, but are they actually practicing?

Practice starts today. I think they had some kind of walk through on Tuesday and McDermott said they were back but there was no practice report. McDermott will be on radio at 11:45 today.

Not sure if I may have missed it or not, but any new developments on if Feliciano will practice? Thanks

I thought they practiced Tuesday and both Star & Spencer practiced. Am I wrong? Thought I saw McDermott said that.

True but that's what they said about Breeze. I believe the most important tool for a QB accuracy. Of course arm strength is very important as well. I guess the real questiob is his arm strong enough to be an NFL QB. Thus far the answer is a resounding yes. The game is Monday so im just focused on this game. He appears to be a QB who knows how to win, doesn't try to do too much, protects the ball, intelligent, accurate, good vision, and poised. Hope that changes on Monday. I'm not selling the kid short. I feel like I know what I'm gonna get come game day. Nothing flashy but effective and steady. With Allen it's more questionable. More like feast or famine. No doubt he has more talent but the other Bills issues severely hamper Allen's greatness. I just hope Josh has his cape on...

Josh has become one of few most accurate QB's in the game, if you are actually measuring accuracy correctly. He throws far more passes in this offense that are much higher degree of difficulty than most other offenses around the league, and still is often @70% even so.

 

I can only imagine the blisteringly amazing #'s Josh would produce behind even a "good" pass blocking O-line. If and when we get one of those, he'll be destroying some records and then maybe some of you that can't see the obvious will see it.

The Uniform Gridiron page updated their site. Bills in blue over white, Pats in white over blue.

Imagine him behind the Pats' line and running the same safe, "game-manager" offense, with a strong running game. He would be completing like 90% of his passes (and of course chomping at the bit). Funny you hear so little intelligent analysis among the most prominent "experts." The facts they don't see or ignore are pretty plain: Allen is a generation talent playing behind a line that's mediocre when healthy, abysmal when not, and yet he's excelling. It's like Barry Sanders all over again.

Great point.. This is not a dink and dunk Offense, he pushes the ball down the field, and half our games are played in one of the highest degree of difficulty passing stadiums in the NFL.

He did say that. There was no injury report, seemed like a brief practice or walk through

I would never say an offense was slowed down after scoring 31 points unless they usually score like 40+.  I don't care how the points were scored.  Hardly ever do most teams score TDs every drive.

Bill, you have some kind of white substance on your chin sir, you need a handkerchief?

I see that Belichik was heaping on the praise of Allen this week....that means he's salivating over Allen being a turnover machine in recent weeks going up against their defense.

 

Really hope we don't fall behind by 14+ points early or things will truly get out of hand quickly in this one.

Probably true. That's how Belichick works.
