Yeah I never realized so much of his production last year came from two games last year against the Bengals who had a historically bad defense last year. Allen was a little similar with a good portion of his production coming against Miami but Miami's defense was not nearly as bad as the Bengals D last year. And Allen, minus the turnovers has looked greatly improved over last year.

Mahomes is the real deal. But I am not really seeing Watson as a big miss when we landed Allen. I can easily see Allen being on the same level as Watson. Watson is a good QB but not without his own flaws too. People rip Houston's o-line but Watson doesn't do the line any favors holding the ball forever too. But both Watson and Allen are gamers that when they have the ball in their hands in the final minutes you know you have a chance.

Bills haven't played the historically bad Dolphins or the Jets with their 3rd string QB. That could also be part of the difference too. Oh and maybe we aren't as good as the six time super bowl champion dynasty Patriots too which would be totally understandable in Josh Allen's second year and less than one full season starting.

1. The Jets team we played was 100 times better than the team they have fielded the last two weeks. They are playing a third string QB. And haven't had CJ Mosley. 2. Bills haven't played Miami the only team in the league playing at a historically bad level. Patriots have. 3. Bengals are not as bad as their 0-3 record. They took Seattle down to the wire just as they did us.

Correct. We rather take the intentional grounding over the INT. That INT probably happened because of the earlier IG call. The real culprit is Allen trying to make plays out of nothing when plays are blown up. Instead of going down he back pedals 10-15 yards to try to make a play. Unless we can coach that out of him, the end result of those plays will be a throw away at best with the occasional miracle completion for a first down.

Yep. 100% and that is totally fine with me. It will not be coached out of Allen. So we as fans need to learn to be okay with it. Make no mistake our hearts will be ripped out of our chests more than a couple times during Allen's 15 year career in Buffalo and due to throws like the ones Favre had. But we'll also be rewarded with the success that many of those Favre led teams had too.

Bills 21, Bengals 17 Game Balls!!!
Sammy Watkins' Rib replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll say it again and again. Not gonna happen. It is in his DNA. Good thing for us it also seems to be in his DNA to come through in the clutch. Got to take the bad with the good when it comes to Allen. Today it was amplified because he had not one but two of those throws that both cost us points. Yet he still came through. He's getting better overall as a QB but i have no expectation that he will ever learn from those type of throws. And honestly, I am fine with that. Just know he'll rip our hearts out in some games in the future with those throws but also lead us to glory with his unique style of play in the future too. -
Neither team got there by going through tough opponents. Bills and Patriots opponents are a combined 0-18 or 1-17 or 2-16 if the Steelers or Giants win today. But Pats have had the even easier schedule drawing the Jets with their third string QB and the historically bad Dolphins.

Tough question. Like a similar question a few years back. Would you take a deal to win the super bowl this year if it meant missing the playoffs for the next 20 years following. I voted no in that scenario because i want the Bills to be more than a flash in the pan. I want them to be like other great teams with Franchise QB's who are always in contention like the Steelers, Chiefs, Packers, Seahawks and the Saints have been. I could see if you are over 60 you might just sign up for the one and done option though.

Last years performance from Mayfield should hold much more water than one game from this season. If he struggles again tonight then we can revisit Mayfield falling in these rankings. If he goes out tonight and throws 3 TDs and 300 yards with no picks then he is who we thought he was last year still. I still don't quite trust Lamar Jackson and think Allen's game translates to long-term success the most. But I guess at this point you would have to give it up to Lamar and rank him second given how good he was in his last two starts. He could quickly overtake Mayfield depending on if Mayfield struggles again or if Lamar continues to breakout like 2018 Mahomes.

Miami reportedly ready to pull plug on Fitz
Sammy Watkins' Rib replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And I am seeing it at 21 now. It's unreal how bad they are. They might be a two TD dog against even the other bad teams in the league. Jets without Darnold and Mosley they might be like an 8 point dog. -
Playoff chances with a 3-0 start
Sammy Watkins' Rib replied to DBilz2500's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Considering who we would have just beaten to get to 4-0 I would say the playoff chances would be about 98-99% if we start 4-0. -
If Singletary is hurt... trade for Gordon

We should just bring back Murphy assuming he is available. -

That hedge didn't work out unfortunately. -

I took that as one of my six regular picks. Was looking possible until Flacco just threw a pick at the goaline. I'll be 5 out of 6 on my individual wagers if I miss on this one. It was a good week to say the least. Just wish i was placing more than $5 wagers on everything listed below. I'll probably up everything to $20 wagers next week with the larger bank roll. Hits: Colts +3 Lions +1.5 Cowboys -5 49ers -1 Jags +8 Six team parlay $5 to win $230 Cowboys -5 49ers -1 Buffalo -2.5 Chiefs -7 (calling this one early chiefs up 28-10 in 4th quarter right now) Lions +1.5 Colts +4 (bought a point on the parlay) Misses: Broncos +2 (currently down a TD in 4th quarter) Six team teaser Saints +8.5
