it was also clearly multiple takes spliced together. Imagine trying to pretend to give an impassioned performance of a 25 year old song to an empty room repeatedly

still awkward AF.

Over a million in fines to teams/coaches. Zero to McD. Fans still think he’s being singled out 😂

the strangest part is that someone checked their birthdays

every qb should only be judged on his last throw. Peterman just needs to hang it up at just the right time.

you can be angry and smarter than everyone else or you can live in the real world and not look for as many reasons to be bothered

yea it’s weird that the media doesn’t race to rip the guy with like 6 of the top 10 completion percentage seasons and may still be skeptical of joshs accuracy

so persecuted.

I tend to agree the only caveat being one guy has seen much more of Herbert and it’s not you or I. Sometimes a dude can look electric doing things that are incorrect and unsustainable. that said, almost no chance tyrod plays as well and as a top ten pick the kids expected to play by mid season. Hardly seems worth the back and forth of delaying it.

Why would it?

as I said, they are eager to love buffalo. We just hadn’t proven it. Now that we aren’t combining rushing and passing yards to justify a good game they are going to race to put josh in front of cameras. yup - still plenty of bridges to cross but so far it isn’t smoke and mirrors. Will be telling to see some tough defenses, maybe seeing at least some road crowds later in the season etc...

with same coach and largely same personnel it’s definitely a spot to keep an eye on trends carrying over. its a bit like some teams being excellent out of a bye and others terrible- regardless of approach taken. Coach needs to know his teams needs for energy levels and attention to detail vs some space during pauses. im not fretting was few teams are foot on the gas 100% of the time but it’s something to keep an eye on as a chance to grow a bit

missed throws happen. To expect perfect is silly. right now he’s exhibiting all the physical tools, poise, solid reads etc... it’s not broken plays, short fields, and dumb luck overcoming mediocre skill sets like we have sometimes seen. now it’ll be a matter of doing it against good teams and with some consistency but it’s the right arc to be on. Not just the outcomes but how those are coming about which is the important part in forecasting progression.

were you under the impression they were unbeatable?

meh. He was universally a high pick coming out and we didn’t take him at the top of the round. for a second tier pass rusher he’s been relatively at expectation minus the shoulder issue

I mean, I’m not sure “this would make us a super bowl short lister” is panicky

great front 4 pass rush isn’t some mystery

I’m honestly not even sure what point you are trying to make here.

clearly another case of media hate

there were announcers in the Pitt/den game calling him the most improved player in the league during the game. it took all of 7 quarters for the media to embrace him once he stepped up (for all the media hates us people)

That mahomes 60 yard jump pass was insane

frankly, I’m more impressed by his play this year than making the playoffs. And yea, Peter king had him in the mvp race I specifically remember, and he wasn’t the only one. Media will race to embrace josh too, he just wasn’t that guy before this year. Commentators in other games were talking about him during the game today.

heck - Trent was in mvp conversations but josh has all the tools and as he strings games together I’ll be less likely to doubt. Still just 2 weeks and against bad teams but he is truly playing like “the guy” right now

Another excellent game. Maybe people can come around to why the lack of 300 yarders was concerning when he starts putting them on the shelf regularly

let him manage his own fantasy football team ithaca also had very low numbers to start so if they tested coming into campus it makes sense it’ll stay low. long story short- I don’t think the student behavior is impeccable so much as covid just isn’t in the community at the moment. The nfl is a different beast.
