Sorry, but if you really, REALLY want me to read something like that you’re going to have to write it in ALLCAPS.

I think when he retires, before the league honors his paperwork, he should be required to take all of the hits that the officials have spared him from over the years in order to square the ledger... doesn’t have be on the field, but preferably there’d be a camera present to record it for posterity.

We should trade for a #1 WR... it’s made all the difference for the Raiders and Browns...

Without a 300 yd game the Bills are 8-5 in games Allen has started and finished, and 6-3 since he returned from injury. In that time he’s put together 4 fourth quarter game winning drives. That said, he and the offense have to learn to maintain focus for the whole game. There were times today before the Bengals tied it up and pulled ahead where they looked sloppy and complacent like they’d been reading a few too many favorable press clippings, IMO; then they seemed to pull their collective head out of their *** and focus when the game was on the line. They need to develop a killer instinct and play like that for 60 minutes to put teams away instead of 2 1/2 quarters per game and eking the W out at the end. Despite the inconsistency, though, I fully expected Allen to pull it out at the end, which is something I haven’t truly felt since the 90s. They have the feel of the late 80s teams that were on the cusp and still figuring out how to win with regularity to me.

Blech... I’d prefer to hit the lights!

And Giselle has them locked away for safe keeping along with her Adam's apple.

Dominate the teams he should dominate; win the games he should win. Elevate the offense in games where things aren't going as planned. Be the deciding factor in some franchise defining wins in close games against equal or superior opponents. Be the deciding factor in some wins that maybe the team as a whole didn't deserve and wouldn't have won if not for his play. Don't cost the team wins in game they should otherwise win. I don't care what it looks like or how he does it, but this is my definition of "franchise QB"; anything less than this is middle of the pack replaceable or worse.

I’ve been of the opinion, given their connection and investment in the community even prior to their purchase of the Bills, that someone connected with Wilson’s trust may have also clued them in to the fact that 2/3 of the purchase was going toward philanthropy in Buffalo and Detroit, making that bid even more palatable for them.

Are you suggesting that the Bills expect him to put out now?

FIFY

I’m sure those three people will get over this with time.

So conflicted, do I respond something about your collective "man cards" being revoked, or do I respond in kind... can't... seem... to... resist... Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just STAB CAESAR!

This was exactly the situation that they envisioned when they brought in Rosen. His skill set is perfect for this. If you need your team to rally around a cause without completely corrupting them with the stench of the tank despite their own putrescence, if your QB is destined to get mercilessly pummeled it helps if he has the league’s most punchable face.

I was thinking more like a cross between athletic Jesus and the baby new year.

Didn’t really have to run last week against the Miami practice squad, but he picked up a few yards today...

Technically, Peyton won one and then 3/4 Peyton won the other... the second one happened after his arm fell off. Not sure if that means he gets 133% of the credit he’s due, or if 25% just gets tacked on to Von Miller...

In the literal sense he is not a “bonafide HOF QB” as he’s still playing. In a relative sense many of his contemporaries in Roethlisberger, Rivers, and even Matt Ryan will put up similar numbers because of the era they play in. I think his two SB wins and MVPs probably get him in, but I don’t think it’s a slam dunk given his team’s otherwise inauspicious performances and his interceptions, and I think Roesthlisberger gets in first. I also wonder if Peyton’s inevitable first ballot induction doesn’t impact Eli even though it shouldn’t. I think some of the younger generation of QB are likely to force him down the list during this increasingly pass happy era which may affect his chances in the 5 years+ before he’s up for induction. I would be surprised if he’s a first ballot HOFer if he does get in, giving guys like Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, Russell Wilson, even Kirk Cousins time to dilute his stats and possibly even pass him in line in the case of Wilson.

Fun article, but the public Neufeld-shaming made me sad... bless his poor little JAG heart.

COLLATERAL?!?!?! @NoHuddleKelly12 is now reporting that it's one of Levi's knee ligaments!!!

It's not bad enough that he has to stand up to his questionable management decisions, but now he's got to justify comments made by some guy named Shrmur?

Did @NoHuddleKelly12 just post it was his Achilles?!?!?!?!? There's a FIRE in the Theater!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMEEEEED!!!

I’m not sure I understand... does Dion eat Mac and Cheese on a diesel truck-train? That was one meandering metaphor.

Considering they don't have a 1st rounder next year or the year after, the relative decrease in value of future picks, and the frivolous disregard that O'Brien appears to harbor for cap dollars, draft picks, and talented players I think he'd probably be more than willing to make it at least 3 first rounders... and at this rate he may even throw in JJ Watt and Deandre Hopkins if Beane asks nicely.
