Honestly, yes. Allen was raw and he clearly wasn't as good in year 1 or year 2 as he is now, but he was never "terrible." For reasons that there's no need to relitigate, Allen attracts a lot of unnecessary hyperbole. If you watched Allen during his first year and especially during his second year, you saw a QB who had immense talent but was still learning the game and adjusting to the NFL. There was no guarantee that he would get there -- many development-type guys never fully blossom because the NFL is hard -- but describing him as "terrible" or "awful" or "stupid" or whatever is too harsh and way too personal. I'd don't mind admitting that it rubs me the wrong way.

Colts have a bad secondary. Bills have an all-world QB, all-world receiving corps, and generally elite passing offense. This sounds like a recipe for the Bills being able to pick their own score.

Good practice for when he's asked to hoist the Lombardi trophy.

Remember when top candidates either declined the Bills' invitation to interview or just used us as leverage for whatever job they really wanted? How nice to see the Jets in that role.

The Jets would be foolish not to take a QB. I know right now many are thinking trade-down, but QBs usually rise up the board and my guess is that on draft day the Jets stay at #2 and take Fields or Wilson. It's easy for me to say, but I'm firmly of the opinion that Miami should also draft a QB and it isn't close. Tua deserves to be cut a little slack because he's a rookie coming off major surgery with no offseason, but that doesn't change the fact that he simply doesn't have an NFL-caliber arm. It's not that he isn't Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes -- most guys aren't. It's that he has a Chad Pennington arm with Trent Edwards decision making. That's not going to change. The Dolphins won't have another top-5 pick for a long time. A good front office would acknowledge that they made a mistake with Tua and take this golden opportunity to make a course correction. Of course, I'd strongly prefer that they stick with Tua and enjoy the taste of perpetual 8-8 seasons.

Same. At the start of the season, I would have been happy with a division title and winning a playoff game. This team is significantly better than I thought they would be, so expectations go up. We're at least the second-best team in the AFC and not really any weaker than the Chiefs -- no reason why we shouldn't be playing for a super bowl berth.

Won't matter. The Bills have been making good defenses look silly over the last several weeks, and I fully expect that to continue next week. There's not a team in the league that can stop our passing attack. Kansas City can score enough to keep up with this -- they're the only team that matches up. Dime, nickel, zone, man, whatever. Doesn't matter.

I'm not sure that McDermott will get COY, but you can't give it to Flores after yesterday. Sheesh.

You have to admire the fact that Doug Marrone convinced not one but two NFL franchises to pay him millions of dollars. He's a good role model for all the incompetents out there hoping to luck their way into success.

That punt today was so ridiculous. Like "magic powers" ridiculous.

I'm so happy that this guy proved my worries to be silly.

Diggs league rankings are looking pretty good with Streveler sucking it up.

The Steelers aren't a mortal lock to beat anybody. I think Cleveland has an excellent shot at that game.

Indy is no slouch, but they're the team that I most want in the WC besides Miami. Very glad with how this weekend is playing out so far.

Guys, I'm starting to think that Jacksonville isn't very good.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of seeing threads arguing about whether Allen is better than our HOF all-time great legend QB as opposed to all the stupid threads wondering if he'll ever throw for 300 yards in a game.

Different era, different players, different skillsets. Allen is already at least the second best QB in the history of our franchise. I'm happy to leave it at that for now. That said, I'm now of the opinion that this team is better and definitely more fun to watch than the 1992 and 1993 Bills. I'm not sure if they're better (relative to how the game has changed) than the 1990 and 1991 Bills, but this team has to be in the conversation for best Bills team ever. Beane has something special going here.

McKenzie Davis Williams Bass Norman Obviously Allen deserves one but it's week 17 and I'm going all-unheralded this time. Also Bojorquez. Guy has hardly gotten to play this year but damn that punt was sick.

By @Tampa, you mean this February, right?

I live in eastern South Dakota. Depending on the specifics of scheduling, I may need to make the trip to KC for Allen vs. Mahomes.

Jets score an easy TD. About to go up 17.

This is a war crime.

Jags have it dialed in now and seem really focused on pulling out a clutch loss.

And Glennon gives it right back.

Trubisky throws a moronic INT in the endzone.
