Any guesses on how they assess him based on their 350 page manual????😆

You mean the call that changed the entire complexion of the game????😆

Not enough injuries in the NFL?

I know it is a negative opinion, but nice to see the Defense struggle and the offense bail them out.....😜🤣 Had enough of 17-14 game philosophy we saw the last 3 years.

Not always running at top speed. The point is it should not be a judgement call as it is a penalty due to it being a dangerous play. Being in the box or out should have no bearing.

Horse Collar This is a type of tackle in football in which one player grabs another player’s shoulder pads or jersey from the back before pulling them down to the ground. Due to the increased risk of injury, this tackle results in a 15-yard personal foul in the NFL and NCAA. This penalty is also known as the “Roy Williams Rule” due to the defensive player’s history of injuring opponents through horse collar tackles. But if in the tackle box it is okay to injure????🤣😜

Yes you can.... But the point is it is a dangerous play.... No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, or grab the jersey at the name plate or above, and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket.

The point is it a penalty because it is a dangerous play. Please tell me the announcers made up that comment? Also thank you Mike Pereira for telling them that final PI call was correct, where again the announcers tried to convince fans it was the wrong call!!!

Yes & no..... This wasn't about the Bills per se, more so as to how we look at teams and that week three is generally the one where more info finally is available and can start separating the Good, Bad & Ugly. The Thursday Night game being the perfect example, as Jax was on the rise and Miami on the decline in most people's eyes. Using Josh Allen, he played well vs. the Jets, but Garoppolo too did week two. Josh owns the Fins, so this week will tell us much more about him. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02/gamelog/

Miami was terrible through the first 6-8 weeks last year and since then not too bad. NE & Buffalo were a tough first two opponents and Jax not a great team, but played very hard the first two weeks. Thus the reason for the post. After this week a lot of narratives may change , which includes Buffalo if they lay an egg (or have a convincing win).

Got me!!!!🤣

Agree it takes awhile, but week three is always when there are significant game changers. This week being a huge week for some teams. Another example is Dallas vs. Seattle, with Dallas lucky to be 1-1 & if either team wins convincingly there will be endless talk. Same with Balt/KC or NE/LV....

Which one's? I know you will say the out to Diggs where the lineman timed his leap well and made a very good play. We see this constantly and most batted passes are not intercepted. The narrative will always be with Allen that an incompletion verifies he is inaccurate. So hitting Diggs or Brown on 40+ yard bombs rate low because they were open and he hit them with perfect throws?😜 Anyone have video of Darnold's week 2 masterpiece that rated higher. Yes PFF is much smarter then us.

Yesterday's Miami win is a perfect example. Two hard played tough losses (vs. NE & Buffalo) and many thought they are a lousy team. They then soundly beat a Jax team that looked pretty good weeks 1 & 2. And now people are saying that Miami looks pretty solid. We see this every year with teams that start 2-0 or 0-2 or seem to exceed expectations and then week three can easily change the narrative. This week you have Buffalo vs. LA and if one team wins convincingly there will be a new story. We have the same thing going to happen with teams such as the Vikings, Eagles, Jets, Giants, Chicago, Arizona, Detroit...... Example is Arizona everyone's darlings. They should kick Detroit's butts, but maybe Detroit is not that bad. Chicago is 2-0, but I expect Atlanta to beat them..... Minnesota looks horrendous, but expect them to play Tennessee tough (and I think they'll win) Week 3 is often one of the most interesting to me, and Buffalo & the Josh Allen love will be right in the middle of it vs. the Rams.

I like Ryan too and what to take note of is how he prefaced talking heads who made there mind up on Allen and continue with the false narrative on his skills and inaccuracy. Nice to see Ryan say something positve after many weeks of him deriding Josh (or little confidence in him). Now let's see PPF do a 180 (or Mike Lombardi).....

Offense or Defense (though last year it seemed more O related), that still is a coaching issue.

This was a huge concern over & over again last year as many lamented the conservative nature of the coaching almost every third quarter last year. It was the continual "Play for a 17-13" win mentality that we questioned McD about. Hope this is a two game blip. But the Bills lose that game weekly....

I see Trubisky but no Dak.... So looks like other fan bases too may be upset.

Huh??? What do you think a curl pattern is? You curl and wait for the ball. It will never/seldom arrive in perfect time. Defender has the right to put his arm around & try and knock the ball away. He does not have the right to hit him before the ball arrives.

PI pretty clear cut imo. He ran through the receiver to get the ball.

Look you can go on and on. Very simply the Bills were a joke and their inability to throw for 300 was a national talking point brought up again & again in 2019 (& plenty of times in the first two weeks this year). The fact the Bills never once did it with McD as the coach was an issue and excuse me for being excited to see them doing it.

Haven't read this site too much. Plenty of people here love smashmouth football and have continually said that 300 yards wasn't needed and 17-13 games was what they are happy to see. Take a look at ant response to my comments about the Bills inability (until 2020) to put points on the board and inability to throw for 300 yards. Many on TBD will tell you that Josh throwing too much and 300 yard games are not necessarily a good thing.

Wrong, but keep dreaming about those good old days..... 😜 There will be a lot of games this year where the Offense will need 300+ yards to win. Lot's of points & TD passes through 2 weeks.

Yes more fun these last two weeks then the last 3 years.... But boy that defense is porous.....

Boy I already miss those 17-14 games.....😜 This is not real football.... 3 yards & a cloud of dust is what football is all about.....🤣
