  1. He's not drastically outperforming Josh's rookie year. Josh had a better QBR (49.8 to 45.9) which isn't a perfect statistical indicator with how well a QB is playing but better than passer rating. Allen threw more interceptions but took way less sacks (2.33 a game vs. 4.18 a game) with probably a worse offensive line (Dawkins, Ducasse, Bodine, Miller, Mimms - yuck). Williams seems to hold the ball forever and will shy away from harder throws not wanting to risk an interception. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Caleb's offensive passing weapons were pry better (Moore, Allen, Odunze, Kmet) compared to Josh's stellar cast of Benjamin, Foster, Z. Jones, Clay. The problem with Caleb was he didn't meet the unusually high expectations put on a rookie QB. Maybe something a 23 year old wasn't ready to handle. He was the rare number one pick considered to be a generational talent that many picked to go to the playoffs because of all the offensive fire power they had. Usually the roster is awful for the first pick in the draft. I guess Luck would be the best comparison weapons wise of someone thrown into a similar spot. He had a much better rookie year and made the playoffs though. I put a lot of the problems on coaching but Williams has to share at least some of the blame. I do think Williams will be much better next year with a better o-line and coaching. If not, then I'm panicking as a Bears fan. I think if I had to do a redraft though I'd go Daniels, Maye, and Williams in that order.
  2. He wants to keep his job. Yup. Not a great leader imo though.
  3. Freezing rain game against Giants in '07 was the coldest I've ever been and there isn't another one particularly close. I remember taking my wet clothes off and driving home in just my boxers hoping a cop wouldn't pull us over. Lol. The only other one that stood out was that playoff game against the Raiders in the last Super Bowl run. Brutally cold but the alcohol consumed before hand helped.
  4. Right there with you. You'll always be able to say I was at the most boring game in NFL history at least. Better than some random 17-7 game or something like that.
  5. Make it a 20 game season with one game per week per team scattered throughout the weekend, contract teams to 28 (get rid of that Canadian team and the Wizards), hard salary cap, keep two conferences but no divisions, six teams with best record in each conference make playoffs, top two teams get a bye, best of three series, and Finals series is a best of five at a neutral location. You'll make up the revenue lost from the number of games with the TV contracts. Your welcome.
  6. The hate is easy to get as you expect a better return on investment for a player Beane traded up for at the back third of the first round of the draft. Ironically, if we picked Benford in the first and Elam in the fifth we'd be saying Elam was a good depth pick at the position. We got a pretty good glimpse on Sunday of why he's been a healthy inactive on some gamedays this year. You just can't trust him not to make a back breaking penalty despite being the most athletic CB on the team.
  7. You'd have to think with the raw talent Williams has that Ben Johnson would take the head coaching job there.
  8. He's always been pampered. Needs to grow up.
  9. OMG. I love Bears fans. LOL.
  10. Makes me want to re-watch the 6-3 Bills Browns classic.
  11. Here comes the hook and ladder.
  12. We're watching football at its highest level. Glorious to see.
  13. LOL. What are they doing?
  14. Should've been the over/under.
  15. It would be hilarious if Seattle loses this game.
  16. I'm not a college football guy but is him standing in the pocket forever part of his scouting report? I feel like I'm watching a taller Zach Wilson.
  17. When you schedule seven stand alone games in one week you're going to get some duds.
  18. I think this game might hurt Geno's MVP odds.
  19. This was the ultimate. Sixteen 1:00 with a Toronto home game.
  20. Shakir is a lot easier to replace than a bonafide #1 outside WR. Seeing Brian Thomas Jr. flourishing right now on a BAD Jags team is frustrating. Beane could've had the most important skill position locked down for at least the next five years. I don't think it would've taken that much future draft capital to move from 28th to the 18th to 22nd range to acquire him.
  21. Cherish not having fifteen 1:00 games while it lasts.
  22. Because Josh always seems to be the bridesmaid and never the bride. Plus, it would be cool to have a Bills player win it for the first time since Thurman won it in 1991.
  23. He doesn't want to give away his tricks before the playoffs.
  24. Here's the latest odds. Josh still the favorite. Vegas usually has insider information so who knows. Josh needs a strong game Sunday and obviously a victory.
