Artful Dodger

As bright as he is, I can't figure out why he continues to commit so many unforced errors. Perhaps it's just his supreme confidence because he knows when he's playing well, he's always going to be the best player on the field. Allen also had arm problems for much of the year. Early in the year, he was playing lights out and then he injured his elbow. Hopefully at some point in his career, Allen plays behind a quality offensive line. More time to throw the ball would help his already impressive stats and perhaps the hero ball would diminish.

Turn up to 11 on your speakers.

McDermott knew the Dolphins were getting a flag and didn't want the Bills to get one too. A 15 yard penalty against the other team is worth the possibility of getting crushed by 600 pounds worth of opposing linemen. I love the shot of Allen dusting himself off and walking back onto the field while the guys went at it on the sidelines behind him.

About midway through the fourth quarter, the Bills were stuck in first gear, and Allen got pissed off and decided to take over the game. He ran the ball fifty or sixty yards down the field, and that was the turning point.

The Bills seem most effective in the two minute offense when Allen is making most of the decisions. I remember something similar 35 years ago when the Bills noticed that Kelly could move the ball at will in the hurry up offense. Eventually they used the hurry up offense nearly all the time and Kelly called most of the plays. The Bills didn't go to those four Super Bowls because of their defense. Perhaps the Bills should give the Allen the reins for a series or two and see what happens when he calls his own plays.

Can he play safety?

Andre Reed has kept himself in pretty good shape, and he's only what, 59?

You will when the Bills are playing on the road in KC in January.

Dunno about the KC game, but I'm pretty sure the odds of losing this game after Cousins was stuffed was multiple thousands to one.

The thing that's most impressive about the Bills is that they don't just break your heart once. They find a way to do it two or three times in a single game.

An old toothless gypsy placed a curse on the Bills just before their first Superbowl. All the talent in the world isn't enough to overcome a gypsy curse.

I have already forgiven the two interceptions Allen threw against Green Bay.

It will be interesting to see how quickly he figures it all out. He's surrounded by some consummate professionals, including Devin Singletary who, as Josh Allen says, does everything right and gets the most of out of his talent. I believe Singletary worked out with Cook in Florida in the off season and has said he wants to provide him the same sort of mentoring for him that he got from Frank Gore. Cook has no excuse not to excel.

Hopefully they will bury him with some swizzle sticks that will bend but not break.

Yeah. They were going to call me Tiny Tim but fortunately that name was already taken.

The best screen names are when you just use the name that your parents gave you.

The punter is the player who holds for point after touchdowns.

This is the pattern with Allen. Every year, he looks back on the previous season, figures out what he can do better, and works with Jordan Palmer to improve it. Based on his performance so far this season, in the next off season he's going to struggle to find out stuff to fix.

And bright with plenty of situational awareness. He had an opportunity to score a TD, but he had the sense to go down on the 2 yard line this week. He's a smart player. Contrast this with McKenzie who failed to get out of bounds on the last play of the Miami game.

In Miami, it was 100 degrees in the shade. If they hadn't rationed his time, he might have gone onto the injured list with the eleven other starters.

Every time Joe Biden commits a gaffe, another angel gets its wings. God bless you, Jackie Walorski, wherever you are.

Very confident. The Dolphins are an improving team, but Dolphins don't do well in the cold. On a frozen windy December in Buffalo, the Bills should win handily which will negate today's game. None of the other leading contenders in the AFC look like world beaters, so the Bills still look good for the number one seed. But then, we're only three weeks into the season.

They did beat themselves. The weather didn't help. It was like the Bataan Death March out there. But Miami is also a rapidly improving team.

Everyone needs a hobby. Some people collect stamps, some people watch football games. Allen's hobby is running through and over linebackers and defensive backs.
