IMO he looks like Brett Favre with an actual football IQ. He still plays with all of those signature attributes. The other aspect that is similar to Favre is how much fun they both appear to have playing the game. How many times in the last 2 weeks has Allen rolled to his right and uncorked a ball across his body back towards the middle of the field. He just doesn't do it into traffic any more. He doesn't force things like he used to. Unlike Favre, Allen matured and learned to get out of a bad play and get to the next down. He doesn't live and die with every down like he used to. And he seems to finally have abandoned the "always look for the TD" mentality and has learned to let the game come to him.

I thought he was the black bag that, when hit hard enough, spewed “garbage juice”.

Yeah, it might’ve worked with Kyle Orton since there would have been nothing in the path of the football… Allen’s big brass set would certainly impede the snap.

Did you ever stop and google the price of something before you bought it on Amazon? That platform makes a mint off consumer naivety. Some things on there are market price, but many things are insanely expensive if you bother to look. Pretty sure my wife and I are going to have to put off retirement a few years due to her blindly paying the Amazon upcharge on everyday sh!t.

You forgot the part about Tyler Boyd being butt-hurt because Bills fans weren't showing him the same love, so Bills fans ended up donating a big chunk of cash to his charity as well.

The concessions at Mercedes Benz Stadium in ATL are actually pretty sweet. I haven't gone for a Falcons game, but I've been to a handful of ATL United games. Prices are reasonable, the concourse is spacious and walkable, given that Coca-Cola is local all of the soft drinks come with free refills, the quality of the food is pretty reasonable for a stadium (it's absolutely gourmet if you're using the dog food that's served at Highmark as a comparison), and the beer is reasonably priced. A family can get by with a similar budget to going to the movies (ticket price notwithstanding). My wife is from NOLA and wanted to hate the place, but she absolutely loved it. On top of that, much of the building is powered with solar energy, so it has the smallest carbon footprint of any stadium in the country, apparently.

Good thing it was regular season and not playoffs or it wouldn't have even counted.

...and immediately ends up on IR. The bartender again says "Whattya boys havin'?" Confused, Denney, Kelsey and Toohill hold up their lunch pails. Nodding, the bartender says "Ah, sorry mates. Couldn't hear you before over the engine noise from the high motors."

“Everyone probably knows the Bills scored 30 or more points for the 8th time in a row tying like 5 other teams to do it I believe. So if the Bills score 30 or more this week they become the first offense ever to hit 9 in a row. If the Bills can score 30 or more in the last 3 games they will be the first team ever to score 30 or more in 14 games in an NFL season. Right now the 2013 Broncos have the record at 13.” The most consecutive 30 pt games is 8 games in a row, currently shared including the Bills on their current streak. Bills can break it with a 9th win. The record for 30 point games in a season is 13. Bills can break that as well by winning out to get to 14. He’s talking about 2 separate records.

8th game in a row. They’re currently at 11 on the season.

With Lamar as their QB, it's their coping mechanism to convince themselves that playoff stats don't count given that they're 2-4 with him despite their defense giving up an avg of only 15.9 points over that span.

Yeah, that's a ridiculous argument. Given Jackson's history of wilting in the playoffs, if I was on X I'd respond that Lamar could learn a thing or two from Allen about saving his best for when it counts.

“Getting better”… that’s terrible news.

Spencer Brown - “No exaggeration ladies…”

Tough call on Elam. Not that I think he was great, but Douglas was a big part of the problem against the Rams. Don’t know if he was injured or what, but he got smoked on the regular.

Oooof. Glad I didn't eat lunch.

Was I crapping on him? Gabe left for Jacksonville, Hollins signed with the Bills. I was stating a preference. Crapping on him would be what I did when he was still a Bill.

I'd take him over Gabe every day of the week.

Honestly, I don't understand why Detroit didn't try an onsides kick after every possession from that point forward. They've already abdicated any defensive expectations at that point. They've accepted the Bills are going to score every time they get the ball. They've basically accepted that it doesn't matter where the Bills start from on the field at that point, the outcome will be the same. Why not try to steal a possession every chance they can. The benefit of doing it with 12 minutes left should have been that it would have given them multiple opportunities to do it.

It was an acknowledgement that they couldn't stop the Bills offense. It was analogous, IMO, to the first time Bill Belichick let someone score a TD to preserve clock and try to get the ball back in Brady's hands. He was trying to get the ball back to close a gap that was only likely to widen when the Bills got the ball, anyway.

Appearances/wins. McDermott is the only one on that list to not even have an appearance in the first 5 years of such a stretch of 11 win seasons, unless he makes it this year. I don't hate McDermott. I think he's a better coach than most in this league. I don't know who would come in off the street and be immediately better. However, I don't love him either. I don't think he's upper echelon like Reid, Landry, and Belichick on that list. I'm not blind to the fact that, despite the fact he's got a once in a generation talent at QB that buoys his W-L record, his game management and awful playoff defenses have routinely sabotaged the Bills in big games. Based on his history to date, for him to get to/win a SB I think the stars will have to align for him. The Bills will have to be healthy and outclass their opponent. He has not demonstrated that he can be relied on to outcoach an upper echelon coached opponent in a close game against an equally talented team.

That had to hurt.
