Did Manning really tell this to Allen personally?

Who cares what those commenters think? Yeah if it were to ever happen it would be long after we're all dead and after society is rebuilt post-apocalypse.

Once Josh saw Davis cut too soon he should have eaten it and maybe thrown underneath to Diggs on the crossing route. Allen needlessly attempting big throws was the theme of the loss. This was one such example.

"If the black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it really is." This is a statement of power and privilege. As a billionaire he perceives the United States as a perfect meritocracy system that cannot and should not be improved upon or changed. Progress that would improve the lives of poor and working class Americans is a threat to him and his power and therefore should be denied. If you're trying to improve the system then you must be trying to take power away from him which could certainly result in statements like "Oh, you don't like how it is here? Then get out and go back to the craphole your kind came from and see how you like it there instead." If that's not hateful I don't know what is.

He's an awkward billionaire who has a history of putting his foot in his mouth. I can absolutely see him saying something like this.

I'm intrigued by his freak athleticism. However, I think the odds of him being good are stacked against him. People compare him to Allen because of what the two have in common: (a) alien-like physical attributes, (2) high character and (d) poor passing statistics in college. However, Richardson had much better opportunities to succeed in college than Allen did. Played for an SEC program with SEC coaches and SEC talent surrounding him. Allen never had that luxury.

Only if he signs for cheap. And why would he do that? Unless he believes he can't improve his ball skills and as a result won't command a big salary from any team next offseason.

A 5.5% drop rate would suggest otherwise. By comparison our #2 receiver had a drop rate of 8.7% this past season.

5th, 6th and 7th rounders are all house money. Choose guys who have the potential to be better pros than they were in college. High ceilings, low floors. If they don't work, who cares, it's a late round pick.

Last night was just a reminder that offense is what matters. Fix the OLine. Add more receiving weapons. Get more creative. Offense offense offense

Few singers on the planet have more hits than Rihanna does. And unlike many "hits", most of hers are actually good. It's the Super Bowl. That's what they want.

That's Dorsey's issue? The quarterback?

McDermott has shown aggressiveness and trust in the offense in his game management decisions more often than not. He's not Dick Jauron or Doug Marrone. Bills lost to the Bengals because the players (other than Diggs) had no emotion that day. Let's not make it bigger than it is.

Edmunds is underrated af. Poyer was absolutely not a Top 100 player in 2022. Good to see our QB get properly ranked.

I don't see a way they let Edmunds get away. He's not even close to reaching his ceiling yet.

"Catching with hands" is a technique that is only secret to Hall and Gabe Davis, apparently.

2001 - First season as with Tom Brady as starter, won Super Bowl 2019 - 12-4, Won AFC East They were a "top team" during that entire stretch. Winning season every year, only missed playoffs twice. That's 19 years aka seasons.

By this logic they were only a "top team" for six years.

Don't disrespect Allen by comparing him to Jalen Hurts ever again. Hurts is a solid player on a stacked team with a great scheme. Allen is a generational player. Switch quarterbacks, Bills are an 8-8 team while the Eagles are looking to go 19-0 on Sunday.

It was 19 years and when you give the greatest football coach of all-time the greatest competitor in the history of pro sports it's not hard to figure out how they did it.

Broncos may be the dumbest pro sports organization on the planet. And that's say a lot.

There isn't an OC on the planet who can scheme positive plays when the receiver drops the ball.

I see a lot of "commentators" saying this loss is proof that Allen is overrated and/or not very good. Can't carry a team, chokes in playoffs, etc.

Maybe it's a bit much to say the defense gave the offense a chance in the 2nd quarter to get back into the game and even take the lead. But consider the fact that the Bengals scored a total of THREE points against the Bills defense from 3:47 in the 1st quarter to 1:17 in the 3rd quarter when they scored their final touchdown. 32 minutes, 40 seconds - 3 points allowed The offense was only able to score 10 points during that span of time. That was the offense's chance. And the offense blew it. Bills D hold the Bengals to a FG with 1:49 to go in the 1st half - 7-17, Buffalo ball. Far from an insurmountable deficit. Chance to score a touchdown or at least a FG to build some momentum going into the half. What does the offense do? Punt. Bills have the ball first to start the 2nd half. They settle for a FG after taking over 7 minutes off the clock. Bengals score a touchdown. What does the Bills offense do to respond? Three-and-out capped off by a typical Gabe Davis drop on a dime from Allen. The offense blew it.
