He definitely doesn't have the recovery speed if he takes a misstep.

One team has a superior supporting cast, one doesn't. No one is knocking Allen, but it isn't all him. There are 10 other guys out there executing out there...as a team. Until this year, Allen was the weakest link. Now that he's hitting on all cylinders, we look like a freaking juggernaut.

It takes more than a Qb my man. I'm extremely surprised and happy with what we are doing, we are clicking everywhere on offense, but as you can see this year, it's the whole package that's needed to succeed. From Qb play, WR play, right down to the oline. The Raiders are very close, we simply made the plays we needed to and they didn't. But I remember a time in the not so distant past where we were on the end they are right now. All of them, that's why it's a team game.

Hypocritical fans....apparently you don't remember Allen eating a ridiculous sack to take us out of field goal range which almost gave them a chance....or the ridiculous lateral from the Houston playoffs. Carr is a damn good Qb, the Raiders simply don't have it all clicking, fortunately we do.

A- Strong performance yet again. Sooo happy he wasn't seriously injured. He gets the - because of the sack he took that put us out of field goal range.

We aren't getting enough penetration right up the middle. Happy Allen isn't seriously hurt.

Adam Gase, doing Adam Gase things. So glad we are past train wreck coaching staffs.

Spot on.

DE, CB, LB

The Bills took him in spite of what they saw, not because they were wrong. They simply believed they could coach him up to the next level. Which thus far, seems they were correct.

No one lied to themselves. The data acquired over 2 years on Allen clearly pointed unfavorably. That's realism. What he has accomplished thus far is nothing short of winning the lottery. All the data clearly show the odds of winning is next to nothing, but that doesn't mean you won't win....Its just highly unlikely. That's where Allen is now...the Golden Ticket.....and I pray it stays this way.

Allen is an anomaly. Data doesn't lie. At the moment it appears he is the winning lottery ticket.

I think a point system should be 1-3 points per infraction depending on severity. 5 points - warning about conduct. 7 points - suspension of post privileges for a week with the ability to log in and ready only. 10 points - 1 month ban 13 points - permaban Points should roll off at a rate of 1 per month. At that rate, a severe infraction would take 3 months to fully recover from. For the most part, all of us being fans (fanatics), arguments and opinions get heated and intense. I don't think most on here troll or attempt to get a rise, we just have strong beliefs. Mistakes are made sometimes and with a roll off point system it will allow that mistake to erase after time and return to a good standing. An appeals process would be nice depending on how it would work. Bias does exist, especially if you have an unpopular opinion. I guess it all depends on who would review the appeal.

I'm still pinching myself....

Worst call ive seen to date. Someone can post this to his twitter....

Thats 100% true. I think it because of money issues mainly, but younger star talent at the position is always welcome. People must forget what it was like before Poyer and Hyde....terrrrible.

https://www.nfl.com/players/micah-hyde/stats/career He's on pace for a record year in tackles. Part of the reason his passing defense numbers dropped is because his reputation precedes him. Throwing in his direction is not something Offenses want to do. A "safety" is what its supposed to be, a last ditch effort to stop a play. You really don't want him making all these tackles because that means something broke down to get to his level of the playing field.

Well...I'll give you that.

That might be believable if it wasn't for the fact that the Cowboys only put up 17 points with Dak throwing for a season low 266 yards and Elliot didn't break 100 on the ground...or the Eagles, Wentz, putting up similar numbers with multiple INTs and Sanders being held for under 100 as well.

No. Passing The Rams defense has faced the #1 Ranked passing team (Cowboys) the #2 ranked passing offense (Buffalo) and the 22nd ranked passing offense (Philly). The Patriots defense has faced the #26 ranked passing team (Miami) the #4 ranked passing offense (Seattle) and the 18th ranked passing offense (Raiders). Rushing The Rams defense has faced the 20th ranked rushing team (Cowboys) the 15th ranked (Eagles) and the 23rd ranked (Bills). The Pats have faced the 19th ranked rushing team (Miami) the 14th ranked (Seattle) and the 12th ranked (Raiders).

I dont think its fair to say that at all.

No...I would hate it
