There is a lot of info in their though other than yards. He throws a lot more INT's, 2x INT rate, a lot less TD's, a lower comp %, more YPA, etc. in the second half. We also go into half with the lead a lot. I assume a lot of this is our 3rd quarter woes on offense, which sometimes need us to have a big 4Q. But there are a lot of variables here, unsure I would use the bolded phrasing here.

Question, if the Bills/Dolphins game is win and in for MIA, and the Bills have locked up the #2 seed. Do the Bills sit back and try and roll with the backups? Let MIA put everything on tape in a do or die situation and use that film for the next week in the playoffs?

Curious what the next class or two QB contracts looks like in general. If we have some states/teams still having attendance guidelines in place next September, we could be looking at another lowered cap. Tough pill to swallow for some teams if your QB is pushing the 40M AAV mark. I wonder if we see the cost of a QB possibly drop because of it. Or maybe not since Mahomes signed a possible $500M contract during the pandemic.

I mean obviously, Mahomes is pushing for a second MVP and they have a Lombardi. If Allen had those at this point we wouldn't be entertaining this one at all. I do not get the sense that Mahomes will ever be in a Wentz situation, where the need/cost to surround him with talent is higher than the QB cap hit allows. Mahomes seems totally capable (so far) in carrying that team and not necessarily dependent on Hill, Watkins, Kelce. We shall see though. Interesting point about continued revenue loss. Without full attendance in 2021 and the league committing to a 2022 normal cap, I wonder what these QB mega deals will start to look like. Of course there is the 5th year option, but I wonder if we see some guys play on tags or sign 2-3 year deals and wait for the cap to rebound before signing. Somebody posted here that either spotrac or overthecap had Allens value at about 41M AAV after the Denver or Pitt game.

If a straight trade for Allen/Mahomes were on the table, I wouldn’t be made if we pulled the trigger, and I wouldn’t be mad if we told KC to eat poo.

Probably kicks some of the rust off this week with Josh and get into rhythm. Still feels like how we play week 17 is 50/50 on starters and what could be at stake. Do it now with the first time and put him on a pitch count, that way we have some freedom on what to do with him against the fins.

Nothing since Nov. 29th

Dude, if nobody wants to comment on your thread, and you don’t ever have anything to add to it, maybe you could just let it die.

What do you mean? He’s listed as the longest average on NFL.com

My biggest gripe about it was that the fans were sticking their heads up players car windows. Guys, have some more respect, the last thing we want is any chance, no matter how small, of any team spread because fans wouldn’t keep their distance.

Weird flex given I was the comment directly above this one. And yes the Bills had a low point differential early in the season and it was a concern. It’s no longer a concern.

Wayy better. I was thinking about this last night after the game. This team is playing light out!!

On one hand, I am like, "Boy that is nice, they deserve all the credit in the world!" On the other hand I am thinking "Are they just bringing in 20k healthcare workers, and those are the only fans allowed? Or are they flying like 100 of them out, and then still filling up the stands with 20,000 other people. Because if they wanted to show the most respect and gratitude for the work healthcare workers have put in, a good place to start is to probably not filling a stadium in Florida with 20,000 random ticket purchasers and not potentially putting additional strain on the healthcare system."

I cried when they ended the drought. I won’t cry when they win the east. I might cry if they win the AFC. I will I’ll most certainly cry if they win the SB.

Not so fun fact: The Bills are 0-2 when Josh scores a receiving TD.

Not an arrested development fan? I read this in Ron Howards voice.

Whatabout-isms at their finest! What about Chicago? What about radio guys elsewhere? Come on.... Its not being brought up because it’s not the topic. The topic was Allen’s ascension this season, not Bakers, etc. And those fan bases didn’t make national news for treating Kaep the worst in the league. They also haven’t been on national news lately with a racist business owner telling their customers that they were filthy, third world, pieces of poo in the last few weeks. Guys, it’s not that hard to see how somebody could get to a spot where they think Buffalo is an inherently racist region. That’s it. Simple as that. So maybe instead of throwing out a million whataboutisms to deflect to other cities that aren’t a point of discussion, either of you just say, “those people suck, and it’s a shame that our fan base has a-holes on the internet (and in our community) that makes some people have a tough time rooting for us. They take away from some of the great things this region is capable of” The deflection here is the most disingenuous part of this conversation. Aaron Rodgers, Cleveland, it doesn’t matter.

I don’t get this. I am a fan of Josh. He’s proven my last two years of criticism wrong. I don’t consider myself racist. I don’t consider all Josh Allen fans racist. But the view of Buffalo as a region (not just a fan base) from the outside can be understandably racist. These aren’t feelings these are actual facts: -Thousands of Bills fans showed up to a game with Kaeps face in cross hairs because they didn’t like his politics regarding POC. It’s a thing that happened and not really debatable. It is relevant here because it’s largely how Foxworth is viewing the fan base with his comments. -Robby Dinero has been called “Racist Robby” by other owners, S&C coaches, etc. around Buffalo for almost a decade now. It’s not a feeling. Its true. He’s the latest reason Buffalo made national news. Recency co-signs past behavior with current news about the city. -Buffalo is one of the most segregated cities in the country. That’s not a feeling. Literally true. Depending on source it is the 10-20 range. The point is, it’s not a far leap for somebody to look at Buffalo along with their interactions with some of those fans on Twitter, and think Buffalo has a real issue with POC.

Without actually taking a dive into Kaeps politics, thousands of people showed up to a game with his face in crosshairs... Now local Fox News star Robby Dinero has been called Racist Robby for nearly a decade in fitness circles for nearly a decade. A screen shot of his email was not a surprise to me or anybody else who has known him. Granted that’s one guy, but he’s made national news. Buffalo is one of the most segregated cities in the nation and has been for generations. So when you say “whose to say...” The behavior of Buffalo towards race as a region isn’t spectacular. It’s not outlandish to say Buffalo has a lot of people who aren’t friendly to POC and those people using social media to prop up Josh make it hard to root for him. Edit: I agree with @C.Biscuit97, Foxworth did a bad job of making his point. If he just came out and said there are too many proud boys tweeting about Josh, it makes it tough for me to root for him. We’d be having a much different discussion. But he got much too cute about it. I doubt the dude hates dogs.

Keeping the cap at $175M would be an unnecessarily terrible decision that would haunt the league for years. The TV contract alone clears the cap by about ~$50M. There is minimal to zero need to not keep a flat cap in 2021 with a MAJOR bounce back in 2022.

Also, for the Bills to play Cleveland in the WC, a lot needs to happen. Weird flex for in improbably situation. Buffalo is likely to finish as the 2 or 3 seed. We would basically have to drop the rest of the season AND have a bunch of other stuff happen to finish 4th or worse. Cleveland seems similarly locked in at 5th. Miami wins out. Buffalo drops to Miami (obviously above) Indy to lose to Pitt Cleveland to lose to Pitt Ten to lose to GB A lot of that is possible, but it is a lot of dominoes that need to fall properly for that to happen. The more dominoes the less likely. What a weird flex at the end re: Baker.

I had never heard of Nick Wright until a few weeks/months ago. But it seems like this dude just gets paid to react to other peoples hot takes. He brings nothing to the table.

Just get me the division first. I will think about the rest after that.

I think we get a heavy dose of Beasley against Denver. He could against Miami as well, but it depends on how meaningful that game is to us. Right now he is on pace for about 87 receptions. But his targets are way up on the back half of the season. EDIT: First 8 games- 6 targets per game. Last 5 games 8 targets per game. I think he gets 10-12 targets against the Denver D. (Now that I said that, he probably sprains his ankle lacing his cleats pregame and has 1 catch for zero yards and a fumble.)

I think there are a few tiers: Tier 1: Locks Allen- He has been too good this year not to. Diggs- Perennially on the list Tier 2: Should be in, but 50/50 if they actually make it Tre- If a first team All-Pro season didn't do it in 2019, I am not sure that a 2020 season that took some games for the defense to take form will. He is becoming a household name across the league now. We will see. Poyer- Having an All-Pro type season this year. Unsure he will get the recognition. Tier 3: Fringe Beasley- Maybe the best slot receiver in the league. Do they make room for his position even though he is not a #1? It has happened in the past. Dawkins- Playing good ball. Lack of run game in Buffalo may keep him out
