Okay... I know this is 2 years old and CoC for old threads states "This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one." but there is a very specific reason to revive it. I'm sick of lining up in Shotgun almost every single 3rd and 4th and short!!! When is McDermott going to realize that Josh is automatic on the QB Sneak?!?!

Sure would be nice if Davis and Knox made a couple contested catches that were very catchable... including a dropped TD by Knox. Josh still at almost 73% on the year even with that meat on the bone left by some WRs. ...and as for those who'd complain about the interception, I think this sums it up well:

With anyone else, I would have laughed at this obvious joke. I don't know if you actually have a sense of humor, though. Don't worry, I won't report a CoC violation. I think now that I I understand you're an old man (no offense to anyone around 60 or above), your posts over the years make complete sense. I don't think the phrase "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is true for all old dogs... but a lot of old dogs are pretty darn stuck in their ways. You must be one of those latter dogs. But keep going with your formula of just saying I'm wrong while giving nebulous half responses... at least it's entertaining some posters.

Holy crap dude... Did you seriously just bring in a QB who's last game was 40 years ago and who's had 2 sons who've already retired from the league to make your argument that my argument isn't valid? Are you this desperate? And while we're at it... are you even old enough to have watched Archie Manning? If not.... do you realize the ridiculous irony in you making this argument?

YAC alone isn't a well-targeted accuracy stat, but YAC combined with Completion % is pretty darn good. You're being pretty silly. As @GunnerBill said in a previous post, all QBs in history (maybe) not named Tom Brady and Drew Brees fall into this category.

How can he be listed as questionable already? That designation won't come out til tomorrow.

Wow... it's been awhile... gonna have to remind myself how I liked the furniture arranged here. But again... I brought up YAC even before your obsessive post. Josh Allen has the highest completion percentage in the NFL. Josh Allen receivers have the 3rd most total YAC. Josh Allen has the 10th most passing yards in the NFL. Now... what exactly are you complaining about?

How about accuracy combined with YAC? http://hosted.stats.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=231 Buffalo currently has 3rd highest YAC in the NFL. Doesn't seem like Allen’s ball placement so far is even remotely an issue in terms of allowing his receivers to keep running

You can hate me. I really don't care. I've gotten many nights of sleep on that sleep number bed I bought for that apartment. I could afford the bed because it was that free, beautiful 1 bedroom in your head. But dismissing facts because of the messenger might just show your own bias rather than mine.

This'll make a few of my favorite posters mad... but sure seems to ring true after week 2

Josh Allen is 8th in the NFL in terms of % of total yards coming from YAC.

Great post as always, Shaw. But Mahomes never STOPPED making stupid plays. He still does it. Just look at his game last year against Denver in Denver. But that just doesn't mean much. Mahomes will have more games where he makes stupid plays, just like Josh will. I think the real difference is that in 2021 after a Josh Allen like stretch (according to the national media) of about 7 games to start the season where he was pretty mediocre (15 TDs and 11 Turnovers), he figured out he had to play a different style of game and take what the defenses give him. That's what Josh has needed to do. Sunday it looks like that's what he did. It doesn't mean he can't still push the ball down the field and make mistakes, but it has to stop being all or nothing for Josh like it was in the 2nd half of week 1. I'm calling week 1 a mulligan. If our week 2 offense and QB is what we get for the rest of the year, it'll be the best season of Josh's young career.

Wow... should I buy furniture? Didn't even know I had all that free rental space in your head. As for your accusations, I assume you're referring to this thread: ...and thanks for bringing it up... only one game, but a lot of what I said there seems valid.

Highest completion percentage through 2 games of any QB in the NFL. 76.9%

Greg Cosell was on the Herd yesterday and was talking a bit about this in terms of Josh Allen. He actually referenced that 7 game stretch in 2021 when Mahomes wasn't Mahomes because he was clearly learning how to play against this new style of Defense. During that stretch Mahomes had 16 TDs and 11 turnovers. Allen just needs to learn. I think this game was eye-opening enough for him. You could see it in his post-game PC

I agree with absolutely everything you said here. What I disagree with is your statement that this was somehow on another level and this kind of game hasn't happened to other experienced great QBs. Allen sucked sucked sucked!!! You can simultaneously believe that and also believe it was a blip that won't become a trend.

Do you think this conversation wouldn't still be happening if somehow we eeked that game out with a Field Goal to win the game in Overtime?

No Brady wasn't playing a backup QB. But he was playing the cellar dwellers of the AFC East. Buffalo was 6-10 that year.

Kansas City went up by 27 points against the Broncos last year. Mahomes threw 3 interceptions in that game and the Broncos nearly came back to win it. Dan Orlowski in his One Bills Drive interview the other day was actually talking about how Mahomes had to go through a similar "grow up" phase because of games like the one Josh played on Sunday.

Neither was Josh. You understand that QBs are on offense, right?

Manning and the Broncos were up by 10 in the 2nd quarter in 2020 against Cleveland in a 3 Interception game for Manning. Fortunately they came back and won in OT by 3. Don't be stupid. You asked a question and I answered it. Now because you didn't expect the answer you have to throw in a logical fallacy to try to deflect. Be better.

Didn't have to look far. In a game we can all remember quite well, Brady and the Pats went up 21-0 against the Bills in the 2nd quarter and threw 4 interceptions.

Good question. You're putting this out there almost as a rhetorical question. Are you asking this because you know and none of them were?
