Now that I am 63, I am finding that I do not need to be reminded on a daily basis that I am old and out-of-touch by the popular media. That's what teenagers are for.

Love the big guy. Check out his Monday Mornings with Mitch podcast if you get a chance. Some interesting conversations in there.
Mitch has such a soft spoken demeanor. I wonder if he can pull off the "Where else would you rather be.....?" without straining something.

Easily. Good Golly Miss Molly that game was hard to watch.
I will give Mahomes props for that play. Stud play and it fired up his team I think.
But Wilson and the Giants offense repeated ineptitude sucked the heart right out of the Giants offense. Can he do anything but throw moonballs up for grabs these days?
I see no lies
I can't give him credit for which started by wildly chucking a ball backwards while under duress. The strip is alpha though, much the same as Josh always attempts after a pick, even in practice. I have thought that it will eventually happen in a real game although the odds are dropping as a function of fewer picks. He almost did it his rookie year finally against the Dolphins.

Any semblance of just competent offensive coaching or QB play could have actually won them the game
I was thinking that there was no hint in Russ Wilson’s game of having ever been considered a top NFL QB. Not physically or mentally.

I didnt get all the worrying. Romo went WAAAYY over the top with the "This is not good! It must be SOMETHING SERIOUS if Josh hasnt returned yet"
It was obvious he got whacked in the nose, and he isnt allowed back until they get the bleeding stopped. Noses take a while to get stopped.
No big deal.
A thumb to the eye with a possible detached retina. That would have been serious. It's a brutal game and we almost think of Josh as indestructible.

I think those JA texts that were dropped just prior to the draft sort of Josh in a certain bucket in the minds of some. Once there, it's tough to change. Not sure about this particular person and their reputation but I always thought this:
1) If we were all to be judged by what our 15 year old selves said about any particular topic, we'd all be put in the idiot bucket.
2) Whoever dropped that information to the press, probably hoped Josh would fall in the draft to come to their pick. Wild if that helped the Bills get him. Even wilder if the Bills somehow made that happen.

I went and brought my son and wife. Nice weather and free food and drinks from Delaware North was a nice perk. The Bills took care of business and the Jets must have signed some sort of noncompete clause in their contracts or something so it was not an emotionally compelling game. After last week, this was ok with me. I was told that this event has been held in other years, but only for the club member STHs so I think it was a good move to expand it to the entire season ticket base. It seemed like the majority of of the fans attending were either on the field for pictures or in line for them or for the concessions so it's tough to estimate the attendance but it might have been 5 to 7,000? Lots 5 and 6 seemed full. So, kudos to the Bills for a strong event.

The biggest flaws of the traditional passer rating are the total whiff it makes on "sack avoidance" and the impact of QB runs. Since it totally ignores any play where the ball did not leave the QBs hand with a forward motion, sacks (and strip sacks) scrambles and designed runs and ball security do not matter one bit. Avoid a sack and throw the ball away to save the yardage and it hurts passer rating because the completion % goes down. This is how Rob Johnson's passer rating stayed relatively high. Take the sack, lose the yardage, kill the drive, piss the OL off but passer rating is not affected. Also, passer rating does not take into account the game situation where these passing only stats are accumulated.
Total QBR tries to account for every QB play, the game situation and the impact it had. That alone makes it a better metric but it has its mystery meat components. Up until those last two passes of the first half, Josh wasn't really impacting the game much.
The fascinating part of this is the Bills continue to try to balance how much Josh Allen to insert into the offense. and when. The Ken Dorsey approach (too much Josh, all the time, which leads to more mistakes and exposes the defense) or the Joe Brady approach where there are more plays called that do not ask him to be special and tries to protect the defense but you end up with back to back 3 and outs which puts your team behind.

I was there. The filtering out with started with about 10 minutes left in the 4th. It was bonkers. Dare I say bordering on disrespectful.
It is 2 possessions and we have Josh Effing Allen.
The only way I can explain it is that1. The primetime game always seems to always draw a totally different crowd. Almost like people are there because of the nationally televised game, not the match up itself.
2. It is possible we have become soft in our successes. In 2010 we would have more people sticking around to boo this team off the field than we did to stick around to cheer for the comeback. I don't buy the "well it was late" narrative. I am a season ticket holder, and this exodus was something I haven't seen in quite some time and we have had primetime games. These people aren't leaving if the score was reversed (and held), the stadium would have roared the team off the field.
Anyways, for a fan base that gets so much national attention for being "die hards" this was a pretty embarrassing showing on National TV. If Miami or Jacksonville did this we would have a 96 page thread on what trash fans they are. Be better.I was a bad dad and took my 15 and 14 year olds to the game with school the next day. My wife wanted to leave early in the 4th and I said we'd give it one more drive. Then the Ravens scored using only two plays and I had no leg to stand on and I was pissed too. As it was, I got us home at 1:00 AM but if we had stayed we would have been stuck in a huge post game traffic jam which was 99% likely to be comprised of pissed off and drunken (some--100% likely) ) Bills fans. But, I am a generous sort of guy and I will gladly donate $68 to Oishei on behalf of the four of us just as homage to the Football Gods that we were gifted Josh Allen.

It gives Gabe access to the Bills training staff and facilities.
Offers proof that when BB says he loves the player and not the price tag that he means it.
Adds a trusted and familiar face to the locker room.
Gives them a solid option to help them through the inevitable WR injuries encountered during a 17 game season.
Costs very little in actual dollars due to offsets.
Seems like an easy to like, practice squad move to me.

Blowout Bills wins, high Takeaway numbers ( short fields) Injuries and the wide range ball distribution combine to limit the numbers for any pair of pass catchers. I think they go over if you count the post season games they will play. 😉

I feel like more was at play regarding the Bills. Like they didn’t want another UB guy as the story and pressure of another local kid. They already have Joe, Cam, Ingram from UB. I dunno, just seems like they knew he’d be decent if not very good and they punted on it, and said let him be another teams fun story.
The Rams were a smart choice with a legit path the 53. Maybe he felt he would be competing with Andersen for a job here and that didn’t sit right with him.

It was definitely on Bussin' with the Boys which is 2 ex-NFL players
Maybe he's done it on both but for Lewan to attempt to pull that joke on Josh after Josh had already done to them would be rather weak. Here is the one I saw, had to use AI to find it. Barstool sports.

Should add, Josh got da boys last year with a mythical great Buffalo Wings joint called Room 40.
I think that was a different podcast duo. Not ex NFL guys.

Joe Burrow's hidden flaw is sack avoidance. He is good to great at everything else so the inclination is to blame the OL but the same thing existed at LSU. I think he was better in 2024 but I can't find the numbers to back that up.

My family went to Canandaigua as a kid. Anyone here old enough to remember Roseland Amusement park there?
Kind of lame, but as a kid it was great!
My family went there on the return from a Cooperstown trip. I think there was a roller coaster that went out into the lake? Maybe I’m thinking of Crystal Beach? Anyways, I made an effort to take my kids to the water park there even though it’s not on the same actual ground.

Moss isn't as bad as some make him out to be, but he also isn't anything special either. I think he has value to a team looking to add depth as a backup RB. The best thing going for him is that he played pretty well for Indy in 2023 and he can also catch, so I think someone will see value in bringing him in.
He was also good to great in pass protection. He got hurt his rookie year during and missed the Chiefs AFCC game. He might have helped since the pass protection was an issue that game. Maybe I am misremembering,

Was anyone watching today? Brownie and Glab were interviewing Josh Allen. I know a lot of posters here don't care for her. Near the end she asked Josh a question (I'm not sure the content of it). Josh sat silent for about 8 seconds and finally said, "I'm not sure how to answer that, because honestly I don't know what you are talking about". It was hilarious! She's pretty brutal.
Context matters. She was asking what was some under the radar aspect of the team that the media and fans don't talk about much. Josh was saying that he does not really know what the conversation is like among the fans and media so that was tough to answer. It's not that her question made no sense to him.

Tavern is where to go the night before
Tailgating sucks in Charlotte.
The day I spent there I arrived early thinking parking would be a problem, so we opened the place up. Carolina had a home game then (Cam Newton had just been in the traffic accident) and their fans trickled in for their pregame meal and drinks. I think any downtown stadium has a tailgating situation that has severe limitations ="sucks."

Tavern on the Tracks which is 7 or so blocks from BOA stadium has my endorsement. I spent the day there with my wife watching the game in which Bacarri Rambo intercepted Aaron Rodgers twice to beat the Packers, December 14, 2014. Had a great time and they were a very active group. I'd bet they would plan big things for when the Bills actually come to town. You might want to contact their Bills Backer group.

The toughest games are at home. After the Ravens game, the Bills have a realistic chance to stack wins and put the division away early again. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are easily reached away games on the back half when their fans are likely to have lost all hope of a meaningful season. Away at Charlotte is a big deal given all the connections to the area. The night games are something of a pain but that is the expectation now. The Eagles coming in so late is weird and the only minus I see to the schedule. Maybe they would like to promote it as a Super Bowl preview but it might not mean anything to one or both teams by then.

When they play in Charlotte. Game will be like 80% Bills fans.
Away games at Pitt and Cle could be similar.

I think it was 1 of 2 reasons. LA Rams were a great opportunity and/or not wanting to compete with Joe Andersen for one spot.
