Andrew Son

He was on a heater last postseason, for sure. And that carried over into this season leading me to believe we were beyond the wild swings and hero ball. Maybe this is just a little bump in the road. Josh has shown the ability to attack his flaws and continually improve. I think he's very self aware and understands his emotions can get the best of him leading to inconsistency. I've heard him mention that he's a big negative self-talker, which I do not find to be a very effective approach for high performance. It's probably natural to gain perspective and smooth out emotions as experience is gained. I see this as the final step in his evolution to QB1 of the league.

He's also incredibly emotional. They talk about not "riding the rollercoaster" but Josh clearly does. The postgame press conferences yesterday were a great example. Listening to Von and Diggs you almost wouldn't have known if they won or lost. Von had a particularly good comment saying- "I won't let a team beat me twice", referring to not letting this loss linger. They exude confidence and positive energy- win or lose- and I think that carries over to in-game situations and consistent play. Josh on the other hand is despondent after losses. And I think you see that emotional ride within games as well- the Josh Allen experience- and it leads uneven play.

I've seen nothing but speculation either way.

Can you share?

Just wait until Barkley runs out on the field as the starter! Vikes won't know what hit them!

"Gabe, can you describe your play as of late?"

Yeah, I can’t stand all the current mental gymnastics. Anything less than the one seed is a disappointment. Sure, we could overcome it, but that’s the goal. Especially considering how our season has ended the last two years.

Early in the year I thought I was watching Peyton Manning. Josh was completely in control and running the offense. Taking the plays that were there and playing on time. I thought we were past all this crap, but here we are again. I don't need to see any more hurdles or backyard football. Just run the ***** offense and take care of the ball.

This will have a bigger impact than people think. Bills wanted to add this type of weapon out of the backfield and not have to rely on a rookie to provide it. And we've added some much needed speed to be even more of a nightmare to defend.

Anyone know if this will be grass?

You must have missed the Pinstripe Bowl.

That combination is growing on me!

Yeah, it's really weird... Lets go re-visit your Allen takes in the draft thread before he even took an NFL snap

No problem, it's always fun to rehash your genius! I particularly liked your prediction this offseason that we were going to take the ball out of Josh's hands and become a more run heavy offense because we signed a depth tackle from the Titans! Can't make this stuff up... At least you'll always have your Robert Royal takes and that one thread you made about Aaron Donald being good.

That's right! Plus, I predict McCaffery will be working radio by years end anyways! What's Mike Gillislee up too? Maybe we could bring him back and right the wrong of letting him and his 5.7 YPC go. That could fix the RB room Plus, why would McCaffery want to come to a franchise that hired a defensive minded HC (Jauron 2.0) when we had the opportunity to get with the times and hire a guy like Reich? And that hired the coach before the GM! That will never work! You're a legend.

I think the problem with this is the contract. The rams are a great example of how this can work. Trade a high pick for a one year rental and then let them walk, like the Watkins situation. The difference is a high comp pick comes into play when letting these players walk on an expiring contract. That really softens the blow of the compensation. While McCaffrey wouldn't be a big cap hit this year, and we could walk away after, no comp picks would come into play with the loss if we cut him after this year. Are we really going to burn a #1 for a half year rental with no compensation coming back? I see little chance we would move forward with his salary.

Beyond his solid play, Shaq seems to add an edge to the defense/team. I love the attitude he brings, D just seems nastier with him on it.

I imagine he'll be a Giant.

Probably back to PS if he clears waivers

LOL, my ass you do. I think you only called for his job 5 times during the game yesterday.

No way we trade with WAS after the McKissic debacle.

So long Devin

It would be tough to beat @GoBills808's cabbage pasties

Not one person has a photo of this?

One thing we all know, when this regime makes a deal it comes out of nowhere. All of these "rumored" deals never happen.
