Redskins facing severe pressure to change name.

That's your standard of reasonableness? Really? Oy vey. -
John Brown- Recognition for great season/future.

Yeah, you and Booger feel that way...not so much anyone else. I think Brown had a fantastic year but that play was a brain fart on his part and not on Allen. -

Isn't about time all of those who suffered at the hands of the Yankers are vindicated? -
Oh please do a Whaley one. That dude always looks like he just woke up and someone surprised him with a question.

Still haven’t answered the question. Your basis for not changing Washington’s name is that “only 10%” of Native Americans are offended. Tell me ONE nickname that is offensive to 10% of the white population that exists in professional sports. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. Why is it ok to offend 10% of one culture but not another? -

@Happy please let me know the nickname of a professional US sports team that 10% of white people find offensive. I’ll be waiting. -

Just spitballing here, but I’d assume those people will simply be considered jackasses.- 635 replies

Reminds me of the old joke about the NBA’s Washington Bullets. At one time they considered changing their name because they wanted to avoid an association with gun violence. So they were just going to be called The Bullets. -
So one comeback in a game the Bills list counts the same as the 6 or 7 wins Josh has led late in his first two seasons?
-
It was a simple yes or no question. I see you’re incapable of answering it.

No fans? NYS has apparently released guidelines

Cuomo was literally one of the only guys to step up and lead during this outbreak. Every decision isn’t going to be the right one but focusing on the wrong decisions in hindsight totally misses the point. He is a leader and he did everything he could for his state at a time when the national response was (and still is) a joke. New York is now in better shape than most of the country because of Cuomo’s leadership. That’s just a fact. -

Actually the funniest news to come out regarding the Rams is Eric Dickerson's assessment that their new logo "looks like a penis." LOL
-
You would certainly agree that between two QBs, having the experience and history of leading your team back in the 4th quarter is preferable, right?
-
So are you someone else who believes 4th quarter comebacks aren't important?
-
Yeah, we'll agree to disagree on that. His INT % went from 1.6 to 1.4 his first two seasons in Buffalo. He always avoided danger.

Well, I know two people can see things differently, and that's cool. Tyrod is a "flashier" runner but I think Josh gets more out of his runs. Josh already has 17 rushing TDs in 27 starts...Tyrod has 16 in 46 starts! And you can't just discount the sneaks -- they are a huge part of keeping the chains moving. Tyrod clearly was a better deep thrower but Josh blows him away in the intermediate range.
-
Yeah, I don't see it. Tyrod never threw to anyone who wasn't clearly open; it was maddening to watch. I don't think their running styles are similar. Remember everyone literally begging Tyrod to use the middle of the field? Josh was awesome there. They are much, much different players in my opinion -- without looking at a single stat.
-
I know what you're thinking. By the way, an analysis on FiveThirtyEight last season looked for all games that ESPN's win-probability model gave a 60-40 or narrower split at any point with five or fewer minutes remaining in regulation. There were 63 out of 256 such games, or just about 25%. So yeah, having a QB who knows how to lead a 4th quarter comeback isn't really that important. ?
-
Still waiting for someone to come here and honestly say that Josh Allen and Tyrod Taylor play the same way. Not that their stats were similar, or that their W-L records were similar, but that you think of them as similar QBs based upon what you are watching.
-
To say that Tyrod and Josh play the same type of game is really not accurate. You can look at stat sheets and compare numbers, but what do you see when you watch the games? These guys play nothing like each other. Can anyone tell me the last time Tyrod led a 4th quarter comeback?
-
I think a lot of people are too caught up in stat lines, rather than what they watch with their own eyes. JA's stats are what they are, and when compared across the league the yardage and completion percentage are poor. But as you point out, the dude was clutch when we needed him to be and I'll take a winner over a stats-builder (think Jeff George, Jay Cutler, Matt Stafford -- all QBs a lot of posters on here would probably drool over) every day of the week. Plays like the 4th down sneak against the Cowboys that completely swung momentum say more about JA than his per game passing yards -- at least to me. He has everything in place this year to do both, and that's why Im excited.

OH. MY. GOD. Please let this season happen so these articles will stop. Everybody knows this is Allen's make-it-or-break-it season to show he is going to be "the man." EVERYBODY. How many "the Bills will only go as far as Josh Allen takes them" articles do we need?
