Was just going to post the same thing. They won’t give up on the kid coming back from an ACL.

In a conference room at PFF headquarters.

Go back and read any number of my posts over the past couple of years. They ignored his relative lack of experience and exposure. They ignored his character. They didn’t properly consider the desire of a kid who had to solicit colleges for an offer. They didn’t bother to look further than the stats, and they passed off the physical traits as meaningless due to a perceived lack of understanding of how to play QB. We should all be very thankful that our scouts and GM did the research and could see what few saw.

I would like to see the Fish play well in this one, both to validate our W2 win and to knock the Hawks down a peg.

Sort of good memory. It was 24-14 but Kelly hit Lofton for a TD to cut it to 24-21, then Tasker blocked the punt taken in by JD Williams to get the lead, and the Odomes strip/fumble recovery TD was the icing on the cake.

This is b.s. The league has to step in, right? These guys could totally have been infected.

The Raiders comeback game was the very next week after the Denver game. Two "miracle" comebacks in back-to-back weeks that propelled the Bills to their first Super Bowl.

Chargers are losing D starters like it's going out of style. I guess they could be healthier later in the season but they just lost to the crappy Panthers (sans McCaffrey), for crying out loud.

I understand what he was trying to say, but the statement "he needs to have the delivery of Pat Mahomes" is weird. Josh's delivery is Josh's delivery. Is he saying Josh needs to throw the ball differently?

Well, Denver's players are dropping like flies and Mark Rypien's grandson is apparently going to play QB. If the Jests can't win this one...

"You have to have the delivery of Pat Mahomes" was a stupid statement. I agree with Josh needing to keep up the accuracy he has already shown this year and improve his poise in the pocket when plays break down and he becomes Sugar-Rush Josh.

Silly or not, the report is that the game will likely be played Monday or Tuesday.

What's revisionist? They scored a lot of points against bad teams and struggled vs. the good ones. You really look back upon those years and yearn for that offense?

Nah, they forget because the offense was rarely exciting and the Bills were basically a running team. And if we got behind we knew we weren't coming back. Nobody reminisces about the Rex Ryan Bills and says "wow, what a great offense that was."

Umm, no. We are fans who go nuts (at least) 16 times a season, and you're suggesting we should "temper our excitement?" Absurd.

Why not do both?

Happy (and not at all surprised) to see my NC in at #4. Tons of Bills fans down here.

I remember it because I took a date to the game who wasn’t really a football fan, and she looked at everyone like they were crazy as we were going nuts in the stands.

Friggin’ brilliant!

These guys are such lazy dorks. Yes, if you simply plugged numbers into your Tandy-TRS80 when Josh came out of college you'd say "he won't be any good." To completely ignore the background, physical talent, and intangibles that were readily apparent is, at best, intellectual dishonesty, but they went a step further and did a hatchet job on Allen every time he played. Everyone saw Allen's improvement from Y1 to Y2, so what did they do? Predict he was at his ceiling -- not because of data, but because they didn't want to contradict their precious "model" that told them he'd suck. I guess we've established that three weeks is the PFF breaking point. Screw 'em.

1 - Politics, covid, abusive behavior, and haphazard topic starting are the worst in my opinion. I think we are mostly adults on this forum and I don't really believe there should be "language" moderation since it is a part of everyday speech. We're not in church. If the language isn't directed at another poster, why censor it? In this day and age are we truly worried about (s h i t) in written form? 2 - politics 1, covid 1, abusive behavior 5, haphazard thread starting 2. 3 - accumulate 7 points within a 3-month period and have posting privileges revoked for two weeks (can still read the board). Two points are removed every month, provided no additional violations within that time. (this addresses #4 as well) 5 - no appeals unless the violation is for alleged abusive behavior; a mod would ask both the accused as well as the victim for an explanation, and then determine if the full five pts are assessed or a reduced number. My $.02, anyway.

Ha! Actually, he pointed out the play against Miami where Josh rolled out to his left after avoiding pressure and then overshot a wide open Knox. He noted how Josh did everything right except get his left shoulder pointed at the target, which caused the ball to sail.

I credit Peyton Manning in last week's "Detail" for pointing this out to Josh.
