Romo opined that Allen manipulated the defender by staring at the RB. Look we’re all Bills fans and know our QB history. Yes, a true assessment cannot take place until after Allen’s first season. There’s nothing wrong with discussing the ups ( and there will be downs) of Allen’s progression through his opening year at the helm. This is a fan message board after all, prone to the inevitable hot takes etc that come with it. If you prefer a more long term and balanced approach, watch the season and then chime in when January rolls around.

What I like most about Romo is his coach-like demeanor before plays occur , instead of merely commenting afterward. He assesses the situation, looks at the defense and tells you what a team should do or what he would do. It’s a more informative, strategy based viewing experience. An analyst like Simms is dull as dishwater compared to Romo.

Milano showed more of what he was last season in games such as vs OAK. The D as a whole can take a bow after this one. With all the stuff you hear about a trap game and taking a team lightly, I’m not buying it. MIN has plenty of talent up and down their roster and had 55 minutes to wake up and get their head out of their posterior.

The Bills certainly looked a mess in their first 2.5 games, but Frazier called the D yesterday fwiw.

Far too early for this. Besides, some liked him, some didn’t. He looked improved today, maybe last week was nerves. It was good to see him settle down and deliver some strikes ( several of which were dropped.)

Reiff singled up on Hughes all day....no mas

True... is Romo available ?

This could hurt

Worst thing about it is they probably should have another TD. Have to keep the foot on the gas, clean up the procedure penalties and use up clock with efficient drives. Excellent half of football overall.

It was a good, clean football hit. No way to stop the momentum, and he hit him in the field of play.

Allen looks good, 275 yards passing or more and no turnovers. Bills defense actually shows up , keeps score within 10 points. Bills OL remembers how to run block.

I voted for ( slightly) underrated. Murphy followed a legend, which immediately diminishes him to many. His milquetoast talk show also works against him here. He’s actually pretty good ( not great) as a play by play guy, and has an appealing voice. I’d also concur that many announcers voices are just grating, making for a tough listen.

Lol... let’s hope Lewis doesn’t listen to “ don’t look back”

That would be Castillo. Good description.

They’re good, but the chicken strips from Bojangles are hard to beat. As Ferris Beuller said “ if you have the means, I highly recommend it”.

Does anyone think Allen was picked just because he can throw it 70 yards? If so, they are sorely mistaken as no GM would do this.

Cool, always seemed like a good guy. The Bills got maybe 8 good games out of him. Iirc he had a place in Whitefish , MT. That’s only about a 2.5 hr drive away from where you are in Missoula, so there you have it.

What they tolerate and / or chastise isn’t capricious at all. Rather, it’s reflective of how their audience responds or how they believe it will respond. The audience has largely responded to criminal behavior with indifference and a shrug. That’s not exactly what happened with the um, “ gesture” you’re referring to. The scorn of the fans may seem capricious, but the league is just reacting to it. Or the lack thereof.

Coaches wouldn’t be responsible for assembling the roster. They would be responsible for scheme.

It’s waaaay to early to know that. Check back after say, Thanksgiving. We’ll have a better idea.

Hey, I don’t have any agenda that doesn’t include wanting Allen to be a franchise QB. Yes, even the lowly Browns have more to work with on offense than the Bills. Denying that Mayfield threw several pinpoint passes ( yes WRs caught them) serves no purpose, though. A senior Bowl is interesting, but it’s not a team where anyone has practiced together for long. I wouldn’t get too excited or concerned about a performance in that game. We have only a small sample size to go on here, but that’s how it is. I like a lot of what Allen brings to the table ( though I liked Mayfield better overall and still do) but there are concerns. The early conclusion is that in addition to reading defenses ( should improve with experience) Allen must develop touch on medium range to short passes and improve ball placement to allow YAC. If he cannot get better at this, he will fail. I’m as invested as the next Bills fan in Allen being a star. It would be crazy to say it isn’t still very much a question. The talent level on the Browns is closer to the Bills than say, what Mahomes has with KC. That joke was in very poor taste.

Wouldn’t change my outlook on the world. There is only one right way and that’s up to each individual. Are there bad people out there? Of course. Do some of them happen to be cops ? Sure, as with any profession. A few anecdotes about a bad cop don’t mean much except to confirm the obvious. Bad folks can be found anywhere. I don’t know what your social status is, but it doesn’t matter. You could be pulled over just as easily as the next person. The situation could go horribly wrong for you if you didn’t handle it properly. That has nothing to do with your race, but a lot to do with your cultural background and how you were raised. It’s just a fact. Money and social status have a lot to do with how things go for us in life. Far more than race. I don’t feel bad about it, that’s just the way of the world. It will not change. Much of what happens to us is dictated by how we interact with others. That includes law enforcement if and when we come into contact with them. More so than volunteering in the worst neighborhood ,my recommendation would be to ride along with a Cop assigned to that beat and see what they deal with every day. Put yourself in that situation, and see how you might respond if you thought someone had a weapon and simply ordered them to put their hands where you can see them. Monday morning quarterbacking that scenario is just so easy, isn’t it?

Again, what are these vile acts committed by McCoy, and how was he punished for them. Chimp memes don’t mean a thing. What happened in Philly ?

Don’t worry, I’ll wait for the reply..... ( crickets) .......

Whew. That’s a lot right there, but I contend that your notion of “ crooked cops” who investigate themselves and “ skate” is grossly exaggerated. Many of these things end up in court with a jury trial. That’s our system, and it’s still the best one in the world. You are firmly bought in to a false narrative. I certainly won’t change your mind with regards to this. It’s also a far cry to equate wanting employees to stand at attention for the playing of the anthem ( harmless) to the morally dicey business practices you cite. No one in their right mind thinks this issue would bankrupt the NFL. As for the legal stuff, next time you are pulled over because you are speeding ask why the other car didn’t get pulled over. Heck, try to sell that to a judge. I’d advise you, it isn’t a winning argument. One who looks for “ racism “ everywhere to justify their own missteps will certainly find it.
