58.8% at 6.7 YPA. For those keeping track. 4th game Allen just looked rattled the entire game. Big bounce back against the Titans. Other than the horrible Interception he was really good. Weird game against Miami but Allen showing he's pretty clutch late in the game. Eagles game was UGLY. Josh needs to protect the football better. He seems to fumble once or twice every week. Passing he looked okay, though I wonder if we trade for or acquire a WR before the deadline. Not a fan of Daboll's play calling along with the strange decision to go for it on 4th and 10 in FG range. Allen looked good against Washington, other than the deep miss to Foster and the obligatory fumble. Browns game is just further evidence Allen can't hit the deep ball. He's going to need to start hitting those. On the plus side he is very accurate on his throws pretty much everywhere else. No INTs in 5 games is another big plus. He REALLY needs to stop fumbling. Miami 2nd game against this year and 2nd game last year against Miami are his 2 best games as a pro statistically. I was rooting for us to just keep passing to get him to 300 yards to shut some of the idiots up, but oh well. Other than 2 frightening passes from Allen against Denverthat was intercepted and 1 that should've been--Allen was excellent against Denver, including a couple beautiful TDs. And WHAT A GREAT national debut for Allen!!! No, he didn't pass for 300+ yards and 5 TDs, but that's because he didn't need to. Allen's just clearly improving as a passer as the season progresses. Even though the Ravens game was just UGLY offensively, seems to me it was a much bigger playcalling problem than an Allen problem. Allen was off. Clearly. But that was a great defense. I think the Ravens have a better defense than the Patriots. Next time will be different. Steelers game... I think I hate our coaching coaching philosophy... but a W is a W. Patriots game was obviously a mixed bag. Allen had some really awful throws, including the potential game winner to Knox he missed. However, he protected the football and was really the main reason the Bills were even in the game. 2 TDs and no turnovers. Throw away game against the Jets... onto the playoffs!!! GO BILLS!!!

At least the chiefs are also getting shut out right now.

Was hoping for the best, but honestly, how could anyone just not expect this at this point? Right now it just looks like the stage is too big for Allen. He looks awful.

He has an injury? I thought this was a healthy scratch.

Coffee and brandy for me. Game starts at 7 AM here, afterall.

A lot of people enjoy the kind of trolling that illuminates the gullibility of the powerful and their willingness to respond. One of the best is Congressman Steve Smith, a Tea Party Republican representing Georgia’s 15th District, which doesn’t exist. For nearly three years Smith has spewed over-the-top conservative blather on Twitter, luring Senator Claire McCaskill, Christiane Amanpour and Rosie O’Donnell into arguments. Surprisingly, the guy behind the GOP-mocking prank, Jeffrey Marty, isn’t a liberal but a Donald Trump supporter angry at the Republican elite, furious at Hillary Clinton and unhappy with Black Lives Matter. A 40-year-old dad and lawyer who lives outside Tampa, he says he has become addicted to the attention. “I was totally ruined when I started this. My ex-wife and I had just separated. She decided to start a new, more exciting life without me,” he says. Then his best friend, who he used to do pranks with as a kid, killed himself. Now he’s got an illness that’s keeping him home. Marty says his trolling has been empowering. “Let’s say I wrote a letter to the New York Times saying I didn’t like your article about Trump. They throw it in the shredder. On Twitter I communicate directly with the writers. It’s a breakdown of all the institutions,” he says. “I really do think this stuff matters in the election. I have 1.5 million views of my tweets every 28 days. It’s a much bigger audience than I would have gotten if I called people up and said, ‘Did you ever consider Trump for President?'” ... “It’s not about the target. If they get blocked, they say, ‘That’s cool,’ and move on to the next person,” she says. Trolls don’t hate people as much as they love the game of hating people.

It was 2nd and 4

Good one. Real clever. No one in the history of a message board has ever thought to say that

Created in 2006 Clearly took some number of years to explode. Place where ANYONE has a voice. Argument for it of course is that all voices are heard, not just the select few among the media who have historically progressed from pen to typewriter to computer to smartphone. Argument against it is also that all voices are heard, not just the select few among the media who have historically progressed from pen to typewriter to computer to smartphone. Yes, I fall in the latter group, but I'm curious the general sentiment. Twitter has more than tripled in active users since 2012, a Presidential election year. I read tweets as I lurk on here. Most are opinions. Some are referred to as "source material" but often imply or mean something a shade or completely different than what the original poster believed it meant. So... twitter... Empowering? Dividing? Neither? Both?

This post should be reserved for a separate thread: Is a large minority of our country seriously stupid? Smoked? Do you think we smoked the Bengals last Sunday?

4th Quarter. Down by 3. 3 minutes left in the game. Pressure in the situation. Pressure from the DL: 2 plays later, because of ANOTHER scramble by Allen on a drive where he would account for all but the final yard, Gore punches it in for a 1 yard game winning TD.

That was AWESOME!!! I've never attended one of those higher profile tailgates, but been to enough home games to know how special it is. Honestly a big part of the reason I tend to fly 6,000 miles to see my family in Rochester during my Fall Public School recess is to get to a Bills game. Unfortunately, this year that lines up with a road game against the Titans and our bye week. PS: I love Stevie Johnson. I think he coulda been really good with the right QB, OC, and mindset. Gotta love his continued embrace of Buffalo.

Assuming this has been posted, but if not:

This is great! Thanks for posting!

How many more deep shots per game do you think he'll take? He's already taken at least 2 or 3 in every game. And he's missed every one. When he starts connecting, completion percentage and YPA will go up, not down. His completion percentage might fluctuate. In fact it almost definitely will. But you seem pretty resigned to it fluctuating on a steady trend down, which I think is interesting.

False: Biden pushed out a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his son Trump has falsely claimed that Biden in 2015 pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor, because he was investigating Ukraine’s largest private gas company, Burisma, which had added Biden’s son, Hunter, to its board in 2014. There are two big problems with this claim: One, Shokin was not investigating Burisma or Hunter Biden, and two, Shokin’s ouster was considered a diplomatic victory. Biden was among the many Western officials who pressed for the removal of Shokin because he actually was not investigating the corruption endemic to the country. Indeed, he was not investigating Burisma at the time. In September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt publicly criticized Shokin’s office for thwarting a British money-laundering probe into Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. “Shokin was not investigating. He didn’t want to investigate Burisma,” Daria Kaleniuk, of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, told The Washington Post in July. “And Shokin was fired not because he wanted to do that investigation, but quite to the contrary, because he failed that investigation.” In a 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged about his role in Shokin’s removal, saying he had withheld $1 billion in loan guarantees as leverage to force action. But Biden was carrying out a policy developed at the State Department and coordinated with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The Ukrainian prosecutor was regarded as a failure, and “Joe Biden’s efforts to oust Shokin were universally praised,” said Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist heavily involved in Eastern European market reforms. Getting rid of Shokin was considered the linchpin of reform efforts, but U.S. officials had a list of changes the government needed to make before it could obtain another loan guarantee. In December 2015, Biden traveled to Kiev and decried the “cancer of corruption” in the country in a speech to the parliament. “The Office of the General Prosecutor desperately needs reform,” he noted. Shokin was removed from office three months later, and Biden announced April 15 that the loan guarantee would go forward; the agreement between the United States and Ukraine was signed June 3. One can certainly raise questions about Hunter Biden’s judgment in joining Burisma’s board at a time his father had a high-profile role in working with Ukraine’s government. But by continuing to claim that Biden “did” something for his son, Trump persists in spreading a false narrative about a diplomatic maneuver hailed at the time as a step toward reducing corruption in Ukraine.

Why would I vote for Joe if he's not on the ticket? You already know, as I've told you a number of times, I'm not hitching my wagon to Joe. Writing in a candidate to vote for is moronic. You must really like me.

Funny that you think that's a good look. If a bunch of people around Trump working for and with Trump very closely--so closely they see or transcribe phone conversations--think he's doing something extremely concerning, it's more likely he's doing something extremely concerning than your bizzaro conspiracy theories over here. But yeah, let's keep calling for the execution of patriotic whistleblowers. Just wanted to check in. You guys are still in the rabbit hole.

Answer what? Did you ask me a question? Sorry, I was distracted by the snowballing pile of feces you guys are creating over here. It's actually kind of fascinating.

Why don't you expect him to maintain the completion percentage? Just curious. Pretty incredible point right here.

Gawd you people are sad. I understand though. Denial is the first step. You'll reach acceptance, I just hope it's earlier than January 2021--if not earlier--when we have a Democratic President.

So how much farther down the nutty rabbit hole will you guys go before you start clawing your way out? I can't even laugh at this point because it's just how pathetic it is the way you guys are hangin in the Trench with your spray tan President while grenades and live ammunition are going off all around you. Unbelievable. Don't worry @Deranged Rhino, if Trump is impeached out of office you get out of the bet on a technicality since none of the Democratic candidates had the actual chance to run against him

Weird. I thought everyone was complaining about how invisible he's been

Do you really not get it????? This isn't about Joe Biden. This is about Trump and what's looking more and more like treason. This seems to be all of your arguments in favor of anything Trump did wrong. "Well if Trump should be in jail, so should ______________" Who the F cares who's in that blank??????? You're seriously maintaining that as your argument????? Someone here mentioned bunker mentality earlier and you guys clearly have it. Open your eyes. The guy you voted into office is a crook, and if your only argument is that the other side is full of crooks, too, it doesn't make your defense of your boy any stronger.

This is a 5 page transcript that people can read. It's not the 400 page monster that the Mueller report was that even people who were interested in didn't read. It's pretty clear what happens in the conversation. The new Ukranian President is trying to kiss as much butt as possible to maintain his foreign aide. He even mentions he stayed in Trump Tower in NY. Speaker #1: "Hey buddy, can I get that money you owe me?" Speaker #2: "I need you to do me a favor, though..." In what world does Speaker number 1 NOT view his reception of that money as dependent upon what comes in the ellipses of Speaker #2? Honestly, these twitter interpretations are ridiculous. It's right there. And it's obviously a horrible look for the President. And if there's more stuff like this, which there reportedly is, it's treason and exactly what the founders of our country created the impeachment process for. To paraphrase Brian Shatz today, I'm confused, you think this is good for Trump?
