    Huge play that nobody is talking about

    I gave him zero credit for the tackle.  We are paying him to kick it out of the end zone every time especially in a dome like stadium.  The trilogy of horrible kicks was complete when Bojo crushed it out of the end zone after Josh took the sack.  Horrible kicks almost did lose this game. 

    I think they were asking him to hang it high and allow them to return the ball rather than knock it out of the EZ.  It worked earlier in the game too.

    wow, never mind then

    His dead cap is even more if they cut him for some reason.  He has been cap cheap. That ends next year and he will probably have at least 2 years of being cap expensive. It's all relative.  In 2027, Pat Mahomes cap hit will be 59.9M.  If Allen keep playing like he is people in Buffalo will lose their minds when they see his second contract.

    That awkward 21.5 mil QB that you can just tell is good but not good enough.

    His cap hit is 12th among QBs and it's only higher than 5 QBs past their rookie contract not signed to be backups. You could argue that he's better than at least 4 of them.

     

    Carr - 21.5M

    Alex Smith - 21.4M

    Jacoby Brissett - 21.375M

    Kirk Cousins - 20M

    Matt Ryan - 18.96M

    Carson Wentz - 18.66M

    Teddy Bridgewater - 14M

     

    My point isn't that Carr is good.  My point is that this is the range that even moderately effective QBs get paid on their second deal. Any QB has a smaller cap hit than, on their second or further contract, is a backup or was signed to be a backup (Mariota 9.1M, Fitzpatrick 8M, Taylor 7.5M, Foles 6.6M, etc.)

     

    Before you scream, I realize there are QBs who have signed extensions that have lower cap hits right now, Mahomes and Watson come to mind, but the extensions haven't kicked in yet so technically this is still the rookie deal. Both of their cap hits go up astronomically next year when the extensions begin.

     

    By the time Carr's deal ends in a couple years his cap hit will be 19.9M and it won't look out of line for an average NFL starter.  It's not really that out of line now given the dynamics.

    What did so many of the draft experts miss about Allen?

    I've been reading a lot of pre draft analysis this week and realized that Allen has already proven them wrong, regardless of what happens from here. Thigs like his ceiling is Ryan Mallet, the next Jake Locker or Kyle Boller, I'd rather have Tyrod as my starter for the next 4 years, He wont be ready to start for 3 or 4 years if ever, Rosen will have a far better career than Allen. All of these are already wrong.  The question it's raised for me is what did all these experts fail to notice about Josh Allen? The Bills took him because they saw those takes were wrong, what did they see? 

    The same thing that pro scouts miss on players all the time. It's really hard to measure and quantify internal desire to improve and persist through failure. If you could make an accurate test for that you'd be a billionaire. Tom Brady wouldn't have been a 6th round pick and Russ Wilson wouldn't have been a third and Ryan Leaf wouldn't have been #2 overall.

     

    This isn't just in sports either, there are plenty of people with good grades and high measurables who are terrible employees and plenty of people with less than great measurables who are much better and ultimately more successful.

    I grew up in Minnesota and never saw a turkey.  I live in Atlanta now and haven’t seen a turkey.

     

    The only turkey’s in the wild that I’ve ever seen were in Buffalo.  

    We had a flock of turkeys congregate in front of my kids' elementary school every day for a couple years. They mysteriously disappeared.

     

    I still see different turkeys all the time, deer, squirrels, opossum, foxes galore, bald eagles if you go to the dam nearby, the occasional pheasant.

     

    I'm pretty sure I could call a turkey to my backyard at this point and you could clip him and a pair of trophy bucks who come there every day too.

     

    Suburban Philly, apparent sportsman's paradise.
