appoo

The guy was running a spread vertical offense up 3 with 3 minutes left. Because that was the only way for the Bills to win. that’s why you don’t put much blame on him for the fumble.

Bills need a 2nd corner. Unlikely they’ll get torched that badly by the TE again but Pittman did a number on them and I think a 2nd corner helps there. Think that’s the obvious and easy call unless an EDGE slips that you had high on the board. colts oline really handled the bills dline, though that’s likely the best oline in these playoffs

haha I’m getting happier but that was super stressful. Mostly my feeling was “god I hate the playoffs”

Neither the Ravens nor Browns are nearly as balanced as the Colts. That was an 11 win team that was top 10 in all 3 phases

You spelled “Josh Allen” wrong

Sherman would be an excellent fit in McDermott's zone system

Because he's got a lot of potential, and it costs them little to test him out

I mean, if you're the Dolphins, You'd trade Tua, a 1st and a 2nd - assuming Watson restructured his contract because no way he gets traded with that dead cap number

My post was mostly about current ability. So long as Daboll is doing the Yoda - Luke thing with Allen, I wouldn't change this for pretty much anything. I mean if you trade Allen for Mahomes, that's not worth it unless you bring along Bienemy

If he really wants out, he could re-structure that contract. He can't do anything about the 27M Signing bonus which he already has in his bank account, but is prorated over the next 4 years, that's going to stay on the Texans Cap no matter what. But his next roster bonus isn't till 2023, and he can re-negotiate his base pay to something far less significant. He'd be taking a ton less money to move on, but if he REALLY wanted to, he could facilitate a trade, to say Oakland who have weapons and a good coach.

Watson, Mahomes and Rodgers are the only QBs I'd even CONSIDER swapping Allen for, for the next 2-3 years (ignoring contract). That dude deserves a better football team around him

I participated cuz I love football, basically

As a penn stater I’ve been watching Justin Fields since a junior in High School, when we began seriously recruiting him and he committed to us, and then again with Ohio State as he tortured Penn State the last 2 years. My scouting report on him was that he has elite accuracy to all points of the field, good straight line speed, above average arm strength, poor escapability, and doesn’t always manage the pocket well. this season, I have huge doubts about his ability to handle pressure. I say all this because prior to the last 2 games, I would have locked in Fields at the #2 for either the Jags or the Jets. Right now, I sort of lean towards the Jets finding a new GM/Coach combo, keeping Darnold, and then trading down and snag Jamar Chase out of LSU, and then taking another WR with their next pick. I would give Darnold another shot than going with Fields, Lance or Wilson

On Darnold...wouldn't surprise me to see he has a Tannehill like resurrection.

Yea wouldn't be at all surprised if that was true, even though I'd hesitate to go as far. What I do know if that this kids parents were both incredibly successful, ivy league educated, and went out of their way to ensure that Rosen was on a successful path to adulthood, whether football or otherwise, with a large world view. That may sound like a criticism from me, but it's actually the opposite - as a parent, I'd hope to be able to give my kids such a platform to succeed off of as well. But there's costs to that, as we've discussed here.

Somewhat different situation here as he was signed off from someone else’s practice squad rather than cut. Meaning the Bucs didn’t necessarily want him gone. Be interesting to see what Shannahan can do with him. He’s a really good coach who maximized what could be done with Jimmy GQ and Mullens. Rosen has arm talent and he’s highly intelligent. I question if he really loves football and is willing to put in the extra work like you see from Josh Allen. Was basically the word coming out of UCLA. His worldview is a lot bigger than football and he’s got a lot of public/social interests from going to a school like UCLA. That’s sort of what you like to see from a college kid, but as an NFL QB, you probably want to see him be more passion about being great at football than being passionate about world matters. That really might be what keeps him from making it in the league, on top of having no lower body athleticism. Not meant as a criticism either

Arguably the 4th best QB in football this year

Some of us have Fantasy Ships to win over here! (obviously not a legitimate reason for McD to rest starters)

5th grade was Wide Right. Will I cry? I don't know. But I think i'll be really happy for myself, but I think I'll be just as happy for Scott Norwood , Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and others.

Regarding Allen.... you extend him this offseason He’s trending towards 2nd highest paid player in the league behind Mahomes. He’s 24, shown an incredible work ethic, shown incredible talent, shown he can be hugely effective as a pure pocket passer, shown that he doesn’t need an elite OLine or even a running game to be effective, and finally he’s hugely charismatic and a leader that his teammates love. Mahomes is at $45M per year. Watson is at $39M per year, I think Josh is between those two guys at $42M. 8 years, 336M extension, starting in 2022 35M signing bonus. 4.5M cap hit Pay him about 20M each in year 1 and 2 of the extension. Then about 45M per year for the final 6 when the Cap is past pandemic impact. Would mean that Allen’s cap hit wouldnt go higher than 25M until 2025

It'll be 100% open. If people refuse to get vaccinated that's on them. They're not a risk for those who ARE vaccinated, but only to themselves. Can't see the NFL not letting fans because a chunk of the population has philosophical differences with vaccines.

I mean, this is even true of our other QB, Jake Fromm. What he said was terrible, inherently racist - but at the same time he's 22 and has lived a basically gilded life in the South, where he hasn't really experienced real life. I wish people would use empathy when they look at someone like him, because empathy is the ONLY way to cure racism. That's what Foxworth doesn't get. Maybe he did find some racist tweets of these people with these avatars...but how is just saying I hate them and root against Josh Allen supposed to be constructive? This isn't a rant against cancel culture either (I have problems with it), but basically a rant against people who who intentionally say the most emotional thing they can think, of rather than trying to use empathy to understand and correct. You have a problem with the things some of Allen's followers say? Speak to your personal pain, reach out to Josh, and ask if they can work together to help some of his followers update their ways of thinking by sending them some empathy for how they came to those hurtful opinions. Just tired of this hot take BS from everyone

This has nothing to do with political views, and everything to do with his approach and style and intentions. Listen, I have 3 political heroes in my adult life, and two of them are Republicans and the other a Democrat. There's 3 guys who I would symbolize as everything that's wrong with politcs in America, and 1 of them is a Democrat the other 2 Republicans. The first 3 are all human beings first, who empathized and saw others as human firsts. The "bad" 3 are guys who saw people as political weapons, emotions as something to be taken advantage of for your own power and ways to influece. Clay Travis and apparenty Foxworth absolutely fall into that latter category. This has NOTHING to do with politics and everything to do with "Hot Take to incite people" culture

If you have a problem with something Allen tweeted at 15, then freakin get over yourself. Racism is a terrible thing, but at 15, it's entirely a function of what you observe. Not your home, but society & culture through TV and your school. If you're mad at that, then consider empathy for Josh, for what he witnessed in his young life at that point that led him to post that. He was also FIFTEEN. We forgive children in this country, because we know they're a long ways from their final product. I don't care who Allen voted for, or what party who supports. All I know is that he's a tremendous human being, who's community and team loves him - of al races, gender and creed. If I know nothing else about him, that is enough to know that Josh Allen is an admirable young man, worth telling kids that this is a role model for how to act
