Honestly, even alcohol is no excuse for doing something that stupid. If you don't know well enough not to do something like that, you will, in all brutal truth, find yourself on the wrong side of natural selection. I seriously think that person is pre-programmed to die young.

... with a 250 lb. running back who was lately getting 5+ yard chunks at will. That was indeed one of the worst coaching calls I have ever seen. That kick had zero chance of making it through the uprights. Even punting, or throwing a hail Mary for a pick were better options.

Good timing on the bye week, turns out.

SABRES!!!

My school did not have a football program when I was growing up. I was a swimmer, still am to some degree, and took up an obsession with big mountain skiing, well into my 30's. Thanks to the latter, I now have the knees of an NFL veteran. Otherwise, I can't relate. I can't imagine what it's like to get hit full speed by an angry 320 lb. man, and to have him land on top of me with his full weight. That said, I have been caught in an avalanche before, and perhaps it's a similar feeling. Also, while I have managed to maintain a high level of fitness most of my life, I can only imagine what my body would feel like if I was paid millions to max out its physical potential.

Kinda hard to beat 225 yards. That's a career day for basically anyone who ever played RB in the NFL. 165 and 3TDs is arguably even better.

I think there is almost never an intent by a defender to hit a guy in the head (with the possible exception of a guy like Burfict). The problem is the defender choosing to follow through with a hit that has a good chance of landing on the head. That's a reckless play, and it looked to me like that's what happened to Allen. Jones was going for an aggressive legal tackle, but he didn't really have the time and space to make it a clean hit. So it was a reckless decision, even if the intent was not to go for the head.

I never established a lot of faith in him to begin with. The inaccuracy problem is real. He rarely throws with anticipation, he misses open guys on long and short throws, and he rarely gives receivers an opportunity to run after the catch. He has not shown that he can "make all the throws", not by a long shot. His performance yesterday made me wonder if he even has the capacity to learn from his mistakes. All week long he was talking about cleaning up those bad decisions, the up-for-grabs throws off the back foot under pressure. And he went and did it even more this week. At 16 games in, I don't question his will, his leadership, etc. But his throwing ability and decision making have not improved at all.

WTF- Reminded me of the Peterman meltdown. So many bad decisions, so many off-target throws when he had plenty of time and an open man, so many throws off the back foot. Holding onto the ball forever, 3 terrible picks, then gets his bell rung for good measure.

Wow, the level of delusion here is astonishing. Did anyone watch Allen play the first three quarters? One good drive, 3 picks plus a bunch of other back-foot throws, every throw was off target, then nearly got himself killed trying to be a hero. He had NOTHING yesterday.

Barkley comes out ice cold against the World Champs, and on his first play floats a nice timing pass to Knox (who made an even better catch). He then reels off a few more short to mid range passes. He was in a rhythm immediately. He clearly looks more level-headed out there, gets the ball off faster, and is way more on target with his throws. I think he's the better QB at the moment. Either way, its interesting to look at the total offensive stat line for today. 280 passing yards, 140 on the ground, a 100-yard day from Gore, and 4 receivers put up decent numbers. Not a terrible day, until you see all the TOs.

Fouts had many senior moments during the telecast as well.

There is a crybaby thread specifically for this. I'm not arguing your point, just trying to keep things tidy.

Allen was so bad today. So very, very bad. He did everything he said he would never do again, and he did it over and over and over. I have been very skeptical, even with the 3-0 start. I saw a lot of his completions coming after long scrambles, to guys wide open after the play had long broken down. You can't expect to win with those. Also lots of completions where he forces the receiver to adjust. And overthrowing guys who have their man beat. Just no touch on any kind of throws. He had been getting away with it all, until he had to play a solid defense. I think he just might stink.

Fort Knox on lockdown

Yakoff Johnson?

Time to throw the dildos!

What the heck is that mud flap on Peko’s Jersey?

Please do not allow Josh Allen out of the locker room. Concussed or not.

If the D can pin them deep, this could get interesting. Barkley is warmed up now.

Not a catch.

Way to look at the bright side, Fouts

Brown with a better throw than any of Allen’s today.

This is insane
