    With that defense I can see how you would think that and the chiefs defense is pretty terrible, but it’s really hard to think that offense is going to be able to score more than the Chiefs 


    Well you know how wacky division games can get. It’s more wishful thinking than anything but really hoping the Broncos or Seahawks can pull off the upset.

  2. Wow someone really went and dug up a thread from 6 months ago that was clearly rejected back then?? Not even going to bother reading new responses. Bottom line is, we get zero cred points whopping on the Pats, therefore shouldnt brag on it. They are beneath us now. Does is NO GOOD if we dominate the Pats for the next 10 years and have no hardware to show for it. We can let our nuts hang after we win the chip. And even then we should just ignore the Pats. We had no comp for them til Brady left! Leave it alone!!

    If the Texans decide to cut him he would be the hottest free agent in the NFL, having a nice season and a good NFL pedigree. But I think Hughes won’t be cut he didn’t ask to be traded at the deadline. They probably would just put him on IR.


    He would have to actually be hurt. You can’t get away with IR’ing a guy for disciplinary reasons

    Josh and the offense has been struggling since before no practices and his injury. 


    Ok so you expected them to right the ship with an injury and limited practice time? And “struggling” has equated to a top NFL offense over this last stretch with the injury and lack of practices. So the whole point is….what does that tell you???

    Sorry maybe there is some truth to this but I don't buy the speculation explanation. Joe is a good listen at times, but he's a fan same as you and me.

     

    But maybe it's just me. I'm just tired of hearing how practice matters, and then a titans team who had no practice in the covvid season curb stomped us.

     

    At some point, explanations and excuses don't win super bowls.

     

    I'm just seeing a lot of struggles that don't look just practice related. The most concerning thing to me right now is the predictability of the offense.

    (Outside of Dane Jackson and injuries)


    No way you watched that whole pod and came away with this take. And no Joe isn’t just an average fan. He is an insider who is neck deep in football for a living. If you heard the pod you’d know this. Jordan Palmer doesn’t have conversations with average fans. He has a ton of interviews with coaches and players. The man knows what he’s talking about….you on the other hand…

    Hear me out...😁!

     

    If Bass makes the XP, we go up by 4. Detroit now has to score a TD rather than a FG, so they're likely much more aggressive on their last drive. Do they score? Not sure, but the way the D was playing at that point, it sure seemed like it was coming. If Detroit scores the TD—if there is any time left at that point—then the Bills need a FG just to tie, and then it goes into OT to who knows what...

     

    By missing the XP, Detroit plays it a little more safe and (for some reason) is satisfied with playing for the FG and OT, leaving us with juuuuuust enough time to break the tie.

     

    Not saying Bass did that on purpose, of course, but the end result...?

     

    😜


    This very subject was discussed on the Locked On Bills podcast. The video below will play right when this very situation is being discussed. He agreed with the OP.

    They did actually do some major clean up work with Mahomes's footwork in his rookie year before they gave him the job. Remember early last year when he had a bad patch (not dissimilar to Josh this year) he had reverted to some old habits footwork wise. Not saying he'd have sucked if he started day 1 or anything but there was a reason Reid wanted to sit him. 


    Ok but we can assume had he started his rookie season while being coached up he likely would have at least matched Josh’s rookie season he got coached up. Especially considering he’d have 50 TD passes the next season, his first as a starter.

     

    Look, Josh just being on the list is a huge accomplishment but the start to his career is not better than Mahomes…and not even considering the accolades. Pure stat wise. Allen overcame an up and down rookie year in an amazing way to be on this list. I’d just like to celebrate the actual accomplishment and not the exaggerated version.

    Btw since you asked

    Dan Marino 171

    Josh Allen 161

    Cam Newton 160

    Patrick Mahomes 159


    Wrong. Mahomes has 179 TDs with 7 games left in his 5th season as a starter. Everyone on that list except Mahomes became starters their rookie season. It’s a BS comparison…let’s be real.

    This is 100% true even if those excuses are reasonable.

     

    We simply need to do better and now that December is going to be upon there is absolutely and positively no room for bull####.

     

    One reason I have hope after today falls in line with some of what is eluded to here. Today's game Josh went to McKenzie. He knows McKenzie and played with him longer than any other WR on the team. He had no other choice today than to force it to him and it showed several times. Why he didn't go to Diggs early, I don't know. Why he didn't go to Davis was clear. Davis was blanketed most every route by defenders (I suspect he's been figured out). McKenzie was creating just enough space today to make things work and Josh knew he could trust himself to throw the routes he knows McKenzie is running.


    You discussing the offense shows you should watch the pod. We’ve had the #2 productive offense over the last 3 games so far. The defense is the issue and you simply can’t expect the Bills to be dominant with all that he makes clear. We are a resilient bunch who has dominated games or been in them til the last drive. All while dealing with major things to overcome. So many Bills fans are behaving like spoiled Pats fans who feel they should dominate every week despite the reality of the circumstances.

    In the end it’s all excuses.  31 other NFL teams don’t care about our injuries or lack of practice 


    There is a difference between excuses and legitimate reasons for things. Nobody is saying what other NFL teams care about. It’s rational explanations for why we look how we do and why most gloom and doom posters are overreacting.

    Nothing misleading about it : it’s exactly what it says it is. Without the player’s first year it’s not the same record. There’s no cherry picking going on. Why didn’t Mahomes win the job year one? He wasn’t exactly backing up Manning or Favre. Not knocking him , but it’s not the same thing. 


    100% the coaches decision. Mahomes didn’t magically become who he is sitting behind Alex Smith, getting no game experience nor first team reps. If he was thrown in game 1 he’d have that record. That’s why it’s hard for me to feel good appreciating it. You and everyone else can feel however you want about the specific record but to me, actual games started is what this type of record should be measured by.

  12. Joe Marino posts a ton of content but his postgame pod for the Bills Lions Thanksgiving game deserves it’s own thread.
     

    So many members of the Mafia are upset, confused, and discouraged right now. The way he breaks down exactly what’s going on is masterful and he hits the nail on the head on point after point. 
     

    One of his firsts points is simply the fact that Josh has had only a few practices for these last 3 games starting with just one limited practice before the Vikings game. How the lack of practice sessions have stunted the ability to get Hines installed in the offense properly. How, despite how none of us are in love with the way the Bills offense or Josh is playing right now, we still rank #2 in the league in average points and yards per game over these last 3 ugly games.

     

    He touches on so much more including a lot dealing with the defense and most key players individually. I love his perspective and feel most Bills fans would appreciate this content.

    Being that Allen started from his second game and Mahomes got to sit for a year you’re comparing apples to oranges here as Mahomes had by far superior talent from the get go to play with. Unless you’re the only person on this planet that thinks Charles Clay and Kelvin Benjamin are on the same planet as Hill and Kelce 


    Everyone in the record books had different levels of teammate talent. My point is that FIRST X AMOUNT OF GAMES STARTED is the better measuring stick for a record like this. Or else you can say things like Zach Wilson ranked waaaay higher than Aaron Rodgers on most TDs in first 2 seasons. Allen has plenty of legit records but to me this isn’t one. Just my imo.

  14. How many did Mahomes have in his first 5 years as a starter 🤔 I’m a huge Josh fan but don’t like stats that are misleading. Josh will end up with the record but if it was changed to first 5 seasons as a full time starter, without looking, I’m sure it’s Mahomes by a landslide
