It's good. But like with everything else, a bad sports psychologist could screw a player's head up worse than it already is. More art than science IMO. I hope they hire someone good, not just someone with an impressive resume.

Texans were on borrowed time apparently.

Why did you say "Sorry" to me? Why are you so attached to Mahomes being good? Let's get it out of you. The real reason.

I just read what I said. But it's not about what I said. It's about you.

I said "let's see what he's made of". But you seem to have your agenda.

Adversity is a b*tch. Figure it out, Mahomes.

Let's see what Mahomes is made of. He was given a bust in Canton before he proved himself in these types of situations.

This is why I had such a difficult time getting over the Houston loss. What's the wisdom in waiting until next year, if there's a glorious opportunity now? Remember the 05 Sabres vs the 06 Sabres?

Can this guy look any worse a few weeks later? Fans donate to his charity instead of talk smack. One fan flies to confront him physically and the guy freaks and calls the police. The Ravens lose shockingly in the 1st round with their prized QB potentially exposed. What else can you call this guy but a loser?

Knee-jerk reactions. Jealousy. Crabs-in-a-bucket. Absolute lack of class. Welcome to the underworld of the city of good neighbors.

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

It's weird how the middle class/working class has been brainwashed to instantly attack any person who files a lawsuit. Bad things DO happen to people. Not everyone is just out for a quick buck. Sometimes they do deserve it. Same attitude towards the "Dallas is going down" guy.

You're not 100% wrong. Lamar and Baker were the ultimate instant gratification. "I want to be a millionaire and drive a red Ferrari when I'm 18" type of QB. Josh Allen is the ultimate delayed gratification. "I'm going to build my fundamentals to the fullest and do it right, and have no debt and millions of dollars in the bank when I'm 35" type of QB. Hope that made sense. We're doing it right. The Mahomes and Lamar's have not yet shown they can handle adversity. They're the equivalent of trust fund babies who get treated like everyone else had the same opportunities. Allen is the ignored blue-collar guy who is overcoming the odds. The city should have had his back from the beginning. I remember one poster told me after my Lamar thread that if I figured out Lamar and nobody else has, then I should be a DC. Well, I guess he was right

I've seen that with him earlier in the season. I'm talking before the Bills game even. He has not been tested anywhere near as much as Allen, and when he has been tested, has not handled it well. It's a trend. When you give a guy that kind of love before he has gone through the ringer, there could be a very powerful "snap back". That's why Allen is so impressive.

I was hoping for something worse but I'll take it!

I got beat up for this bad after starting the Lamar thread after the Bills game. Glad to see cooler heads prevail. The national media love was too intense, and millions of fans went along for the ride.

This. It's a natural correction. I feel like many of the Bills fans that are ardently supporting Lamar, were anti-Allen during the pre-draft process or Wrong Josh. Lamar was just an opportunity to move the goalposts. That's why they have such a weird man crush on him, considering he plays for the Ravens.

He never will be? I don't know what people base their opinions on anymore. People just speak without thinking.

Someone on TV mentioned that the Bills run a zone a few weeks ago and suddenly everyone starts questioning Tre.

"Not much to think through" so something you probably say a lot.

You're talking to me about "half right" and "intent" in terms of the NFL rule book? If the rule book states that it's a TD, then it's a TD. It's very simple what happened. Everyone turned an objective rule into a subjective rule when it suited them. DeSean's intent was to down the ball once he crossed the goal line, but he didn't. Ford's intent was to block the tackler legally, but he didn't, sort of. Where was everyone's good heart then? No, it was "tough luck, son, got to be smarter out there". But when a wild card game was going to turn into a blow out in favor of a small market team? Now the league that rejects every pass interference review suddenly becomes a "common sense" league. And Bills fans defend this. I question how deep you've really thought this through.

Let's hear the reasons.

That's the thing. People threw out "common sense" as if that is always the case. Nobody threw out common sense when Desean Jackson spiked the ball before going over the goal line, or the Plaxico incident. These sorts of "strange" incidents always happen in sports and the usual response is "tough luck, you should've known the rules". This is the first time I've ever even heard of "referee assistants", and normally plays need to be eligible for review before they can be overturned by NY. None of that happened. It's very fishy, and knowing how the NFL likes to keep games close for ratings, it stunk of manipulating the outcome. By this rate, can't you say that the Ford block shouldn't have been called since it was "common sense". It's subjective. I just don't buy it.

The simple answer is YES. We can do something. The people have all the power, and they know it. The problem is that the people don't believe they have any power. You're going to get people mocking you for suggesting something like this, but remember that you're not the problem here, they are. If you're looking for ways to do something, and you're committed, the simplest way to make a difference is to go on Twitter or Facebook of any brands that advertised during the game, and complain that you are never going to buy their products again for supporting such a rigged product. Get 25-30 people to post the right words in the right place, and I guarantee you it will reach very high levels in the company and will be discussed when they are renegotiating next season. Do this to enough brands, and the NFL marketing team will start taking notice and alerting superiors. It will be brought up to the highest levels for discussion. At that point, nothing might happen, but you will have made a dent. It's not impossible if you're committed. If you get traction, I'll get on board with you.

I agree with other posters that he is in the best position he could be in. He's not a rah-rah type of guy. I get the vibe that he doesn't want too much of the spotlight and he's happy where he is, which is great for us. Let teams be dumb and pick Daboll as their head coach. It would be a blessing to lose him this year.
