    I'm sure they did. And many teams in fairness had some success. The Jags kept the Bills out of the end zone. The Falcons limited Allen to 120 passing yards and three INTs. The Colts' Matt Eberflus earned himself extra attention after he forced Allen into a horrible game in a Colts rout. Even the Jets made him look pedestrian for a half. Based on what I read, it seems Bills fans expect a continuation of the playoff performances. And that simply isn't going to happen. This league is too damn hard.

     

    So what you're saying is, "don't be surprised if Josh struggles to adjust to the latest way to stop him and mahomes, just like they both did this year?" Your OP makes it seem as though you're uncovering a new phenomenon.

    I think most Bills fans assume the stats will remain on an upward trajectory and that the next step is "Josh Allen is unstoppable." Chiefs fans thought the same with Mahomes. I'm seeing similar coverage now with Burrow and Herbert. Please note: Regress doesn't mean Josh Allen sucks! Mahomes is a better QB in 2022 than he was in 2018. But he will never again put up the numbers he did his first year in the league. I think it took him some time to confront that reality. 

     

    Right.

     

     

    ....but he didn't have an upward trajectory this year.  His passing stats were slightly lower, as he learned to cope with the same exact issues Mahomes did.  You think DCs didn't spend all offseason trying to stop the MVP runner-up from last year?

    We’ve done that short kick all year.  

     

    Exactly.  In this particular case, Payton doesn't know that Bass regularly practices short kicks and that we drafted a talented kicker so that we'd have all of the different options in the kicking game that he gives us.  This was not an issue of distrust in the kicker.  I think McD trusts Bass more than most.

    I’m obviously biased, but I my eyes tell me that Allen at his best is just a bit better than the others. Some of it is freak physicality and some of it is will to win. 

     

    I really don't think any of them want it as badly.  I also don't think any of them hate losing as much as him.

  5. I don't think we should fire McDermott.  He's a steady hand and a good leader.  He just needs to keep hiring the right staff.  It's not really his job to be clever and coordinate offense or defense.

     

    ...but I'll say this: he's extremely fortunate to have Josh Allen.  In the same vein, his quarterback just gifted him a Lombardi, and his lauded DC couldn't do his job for 13 seconds. That falls squarely on McDermott, and he needs to be better- right now; not in 5 years.  At a certain point he and his staff need to start making the right decisions before learning from the wrong ones.

    I think it depends on the fan and player.  

     

    I don't think anyone on this board is taking it harder than Josh Allen.  Dude is wired different.  I can't even imagine feeling like you did everything you could possibly do, won the game... only to have the people closest to you let you down.  

     

    No one on this planet is taking the loss harder than Josh.  No one.

  7. Yeah I mean it's a great strength exercise but fatigue throughout your legs while you're using every muscle to move in every direction, is going to put serious strain on the ligaments/tendons responsible for stabilizing that motion.

     

    For instance- treatment for most tendonitis is to strengthen the muscle parallel to the ligament.  (I.e. for tennis elbow, you strengthen the forearms; for runner's knee you strengthen the hamstrings; for Achilles issues you strengthen the calves).
