Sammy Watkins' Rib

Some advanced stat algorithm will tell us there was only one or two drops in tonight's game. Feel like at least half of Allen's incompletions tonight have been drops.

We're basically playing 2 against 20 out there. Allen and Diggs against everyone else.

I seriously don't know why people would have thought differently. They are essentially coming off a bye week not an entire summer of not playing.

I mean if John Brown plays he isn't even out their at receiver. If it was Beasley that was out McKenzie would fill Beasley's role I would assume. He did save our last TD drive with that 3rd down reception. And he was great last week returning kicks. I say we pump the breaks on the Roberts hate.

The old Bills punt 3 or 4 different times on that last drive. Love Allen running this offense.

So true. It's why he has so many fourth quarter comebacks in his three short years too.

Allen is money on this drive. Let's finish it.

How would you do it with Fox? Does Fox have a similar live TV streaming service? Sling TV carries Fox in select markets and Los Angeles was one of them. I tried changing my computer location to LA for the Rams game on FOX but was not able to get the local LA Fox station. I think it might be because Sling TV goes by IP Address rather than GPS location. Not sure though.

Yeah if you've gone the international game pass VPN route that is a good option too. Way more options. I did CBS all access just because it would be cheap and super easy. But it sucked when they played the Rams on Fox and I had to watch the game by the less reliable methods out there.

I would go with the Monday option and they play Friday or Saturday if needed or even a double header on Monday again. But of course that assume the Titans can stop testing positive for a consecutive days.

I still say it would happen if the NFL wants it to. Money talks. And cities and schools are not exactly flush with money right now. Again, any normal year, I would 100% agree with you. Not during a pandemic.

You can change the location setting on your computer (Latitude and Longitude). Once this is changed to say Buffalo or any NFL city that is airing a game you want to see, CBS all access will broadcast the game from that location. There was originally a post i think from a member here named Cinga who detailed how to make these changes on your computer. Or click the link in this thread that Just Jack posted. It is very detailed on how to do this.

You really think the NCAA is going to say "screw you NFL, find a different day during this pandemic"? If the NFL wants to play Saturday they will reach an agreement.

I still see it happening Saturday. There are always ways around things like this. NFL very well may have to pay out to the NCAA for the rights to air one game. But that would be money well spent if it means keeping the schedule in tact.

That has to be malarkey. Under a regular season? Maybe. Under a Covid-19 season? All options are on the table.

Not sure I follow. Is what a concern?

Experience? Kelly was 6 or 7 years out of college when he made it to his first super bowl? But it does seem these days younger less experienced QB's can and do take their teams to the Super Bowl. Or to 1st place in the conference. On offense it would be nice to have a Kamara type player in that Thurman roll out of the backfield as a threat to run or receive. Singletary is nice but not sure he will get to that sort of all-pro level. On defense I feel our D-line is just average at best. Need a true playmaker on the line to emerge. That said, no reason why this team can't compete with the best of them right now.

Is he one of those guys that loves and says good things about all the QBs though? I do recall him before the 2018 draft calling Lamar Jackson the best QB in the draft but don't recall exactly where he had Allen ranked.

CBS All-Access makes these maps obsolete when the games are on CBS anyway.

Hmm. That's a good point. Chiefs/Bills certainly doesn't seem moveable. Unless they wanted to move it to a stand-alone Friday or Saturday Night game? But that gives Chiefs a one day advantage assuming they play the Raiders Sunday and Bills play the Titans Monday. I would say make it a Saturday night game. I know college football would not be happy but this isn't an ordinary season. That way you can keep the Titans game pending. If no further positives from today then just play Sunday as scheduled and leave the KC game on Thursday. If we get another positive then see if things are good Saturday and Sunday and plan to play Monday or Tuesday with the KC game on the following Saturday. If the Titans still can't play by next Tuesday then they are probably looking at a forfeit or the NFL needs to go ahead and add a week 18 for make-up games. It's unlikely the Titans will be the only team that needs to reschedule games anyway.

19-0*

True. We can look at it as the MVP being Allen's to lose right now. Mahomes, Wilson, Patriots x2. Go 3-1 in those games and he'll likely be the MVP.

It's not just that though. Against the Jets we actually called his number several times. It seems more like the staff has asked him to dial it back with the runs. This is probably in part because Allen has now proven himself as an elite passer. So if the coaching staff knows he can lead us to wins with his arm alone then why have him out there running? Personally, I think he needs to run at least a few time a game. Especially on those 2nd and 7 and 3rd and 7 downs that just break the back of the defense. Hopefully Allen is just saving those for later in the year and they are not being completely coached out of him. Let Josh be Josh.

Still not sure about that. They scored with 1:29 left on the clock. So basically just add 40 seconds. That is still onside kick territory as it is also likely Raiders would have still burned all their timeouts on their final TD drive. Say they do kick off, then you are looking at a situation where they get the ball back with less than 30 seconds down a TD should the Bills go 3 and out again and punt. Really, you probably couldn't go wrong either way. Bills would have had to royal screw things up to not win the game in the final 5 minutes.

I've been one of the biggest supports of Allen here. Right there with Transplant. But come on, 71 percent completion AND 2nd in the league in yards? 12-1 TD to interception ratio in only 4 games? I knew coming into the season Allen was a franchise QB for us. But I wasn't expecting this type of production. Hopeful? Yes, but not expecting. Nope. A lot of people like to still critique Alllen as a qb that giveth and taketh away. At what point does that narrative change? 35 TD's to 3 INTs or whatever in the last 15 games. I know that doesn't include is fumbles but even if we add those it's probably still 35-10 or something. He took bad sack up two TD's in the fourth quarter. Big deal. Does anyone actually think the game was in doubt after that sack?
