Actually, these sorts of discussions in sports ARE all about “what ifs” and the like. Yes, we can only see what has occurred, but we can openly wonder what would happen in different circumstances. My opinion is that if you asked all NFL GMs the question of whether they wanted Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen right now, going forward, it would not be 32-0.

“So far” is the key here. Right now I think it’s a much closer proposition than you do.

I really don’t believe that is a valid conclusion at this point. Josh still hasn’t reached his ceiling; has Mahomes?

Me too. No sympathy for their fans. They have Ohio State who is ALWAYS a title contender. Not the NFL but ask anyone from Ohio who their favorite sports team is and you know what answer you’ll get.

I don't know what media you are following but I haven't seen anyone "ignoring" the Brownies. They've been called a contender by everyone, with the only caveat being the play of Mayfield.

Kudos to posters for the laughs in this thread. I chuckled aloud at several posts. If you stay at a Red Carpet Inn you do so at your own risk (and perhaps the risk of others).

I read Jim Kubiak’s analysis of Josh Allen every week last season and don’t recall a single example of Josh “not making a correct pre-snap read.” Now, if you’re truly a student of the game and QB play can explain what you’re talking about I’ll listen, but this sounds to me like somebody just making stuff up.

An amazingly good and underrated flick. Grodin was brilliant. RIP

Being willing to give up a body part for a seasonal trophy is the epitome of stupidity.

Whatever that means. He’s a meathead. Sure, the guys might be “fired up” but how is his game planning? His in-game adjustments? His clock and game day management? You can’t just run around saying your guys will knock everyone out of the game. His statements are moronic. I predict a flameout within two seasons.

Hard to argue with this. After Mahomes you can throw the next five in a bag and shake it up.

Dan Campbell makes meatheads say, "man, that guy is a meathead."

There really isn’t another team in the league I “like” — certainly not in the AFC, and even in the NFC I’m “meh” on the majority of them. I live in North Carolina so I suppose I “should” pull for the Panthers, but I remember their Super Bowl against Denver and I was rooting for the Broncos. When I watch games not involving the Bills my rooting interests fall in the order of (a) which result benefits Buffalo, (b) do I have a bet on the game, and (c) how are my fantasy teams impacted.

Yeah, I was just going to post something similar. I don’t use this term often but we are “blessed” to have this young man as our QB for hopefully the next 10+ years. You can’t even really appreciate some of those throws from the normal TV viewing angle...seeing them from the end zone view brings that “wow” factor.

For those of you predicting the Bills will have more losses this season than last, I have a few questions: 1. How many games under McDermott have the Bills lost in which they were the favorite going in? 2. In how many games will the Bills be underdogs this season? 3. In how many games will the Bills' opponent have the better starting QB? I'll hang up and listen.

Couple of things: 1 - that’s just wrong on so many levels 2 - upgrade your taste in friends

Bourbon Street is fun if you’re in college or your twenties. After that it’s disgusting. Restaurants are awesome and architecture is cool.

The conspiracy theory bs is strong in this thread. There’s no “catering” to any player or team with respect to the NFL schedule.

Basically 1/4 of their games are in prime time...not going to pull out any disrespect card here. I think it’s a nice mix.

Never heard anyone with this take before. Kenny was always one of the sharpest, wittiest anchors on the network. But to each his own. Wondering how/why you felt “insulted” by a broadcaster’s sarcastic humor?

97! Wow, that’s a well-lived life. RIP

Love McKittrick working with the punter. That guy really wants the PR job.

I haven't gotten excited about the schedule release since @Jay_Fixit convinced me it was stupid.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. One of the top Hail Mary plays of all time. We know who the better team is.

What you need to realize is that Scott is the sort of fan who, after last year's amazing season, watched the AFC Championship game and the only thought crossing his mind was, "I knew they weren't good enough."
