Apparently we were in different classes when it came time to discuss punctuation. Thanks for reaffirming my suspicions. right.

Accurate description of everyone in this cringey af thread

Pretty different situations.

he had a very nice game. Hopefully he's just a late bloomer.

Completely agree, OP. As someone who has been notoriously down on Allen I thought he actually had a good first half- he was faced with a ton of adversity outside of his control, and the turnovers that occurred weren't really due to the poor decision making we've seen from him in the past. They could have happened to any quarterback. In short, he didn't struggle because of any of his known weaknesses and that was excellent to see. His short to intermediate game was spot on, he made quick reads and found the open targets. His second half was just great. Seeing him get the opportunity to go down and win the game and then doing it made me feel like something I hadn't seen a Bills QB do in 25 years, even if I had. He absolutely looked the part.

It's widely known to be a suppository.

It's no different than Elway, Manning or a host of other forced trade situations - just a lot more bizarre and less intellectually coherent.

You think he would marry someone that scheduled a sunday during football season? Is there a bigger red flag?

He's baiting.

Slow down. You'll get it.

The Cardinals and Saints are both over the Cap somehow - not sure what the league does about that.

Bad for the Bills but outstanding for both of my fantasy teams. Big upgrade over Oakland and Carr.

The break even number is probably a lot higher than that, but I agree with the sentiment. They still have operational, tech, marketing, billing and support making up the rest. With 600k subscribers and around 400 editorial staffers per the article, they aren't turning a profit at a worst case revenue of $38.4M a year and probably around $32M in editorial staff salary. A lot of investment though.

Here's a guy that should think a little bit harder about the things floating around in his head before they escape his mouth.

I'm glad it's working for them, but I just can't see it being scalable under an old school industry business model. They may be able to catch boomers and gen-xers long enough to reap some revenue and maybe sell the company, but I just don't see how they're going to appeal to kids, gen z, and gen y when you have people creating great ad supported content out there. I had a sports illustrated subscription was I was 10. I don't see that happening with these guys.

I think Trubisky is a good QB with no one to throw the ball to.

Why wouldnt he want to play in chicago? Did you see their defense? With a player like him and their running game they could challenge the rams.

Seahawks have 9 million - too little cap if they need to sign anyone else Rams have 2 million - too little cap 49ers - 21 million cap I could see this Cardinals - 2 million OVER the cap. Not happening I think it could be: Bears - Makes the most sense: ready to win now and 0 receivers outside a past his prime Robinson Cowboys - It has Jerry Jones written all over it: Ready to win now Lions - Patricia could steal a move from the Belichick playbook Bills - Not really likely. Has proven hes the opposite of a process guy, but they had interest earlier and if the rest of the team is bought in, maybe they can handle one locker room cancer

I didn't know this but apparently they're teammates now. What the hell is Mayock thinking with Brown, Burfect, and Incognito on the same roster? Is there some sort of weird curse on this franchise that just makes their coaches/Ms/Owners do insane things one after the other?

Stay off the sauce sweetheart.

I'm hoping to see Allen and co completely embarrass the Jets and somewhere north of 270 yards passing, just to prove he's got it in him.

Absolutely could happen and that could be the reason or a host of other factors. All I'm doing is using the data that rarely shows deviation. I really, really , really hope it's one of those times, because he's our QB and if we cant win with him, we're unlikely to win for a very long time.

It's completely understandable for you to see that it's totally realistic for that to happen. i mean, after all, like you said, it's only 2-3 catches a game right? However, it just doesn't happen. The things that make a guy miss those 2-3 completions are extremely hard to fix once they're in the pros. When we drafted him, I hated the pick because of it and did a ton of research comparing college completion percentages to pro career numbers. For franchise-type guys or even guys like Dalton and Tannehill etc they remain shockingly close their college numbers on average and RARELY see a jump of more than 3%. Favre and Moon did, but their numbers were in the 40s, and there's a couple other outliers. Overwhelmingly, though, guys don't go from mid to low 50's in college to 60's in the pros. It doesn't mean he can't or won't be successful. It just means it's highly unlikely his percentage goes above 60.

Were we having a different conversation that I wasn't aware of?
