Have you seen Thurm's posts? If not, you'll find several in this thread. If I have a lengthy post every once in awhile at this point--and lengthy is a relative term, but I don't believe I have too many all that often--it's going to be to say something about the team, not to try to win a ridiculous rhetorical argument the way some (@Thurman#1) here spend most of their time doing. I'm not guiltless in never arguing a point for awhile with someone, but when it's clearly pointless because the other poster just uses constant logical fallacies or is just generally a stubborn, unlikeable (on the Internet) ass... I think I've done well enough lately to learn to stop.

Love your posts in general. @Thurman#1 is really just the King of the Ad Hominem attack. It's been several years at this point already that I've pretty much stopped initiating conversation with him. For whatever reason he always feels the need to chime in and give me his War and Peace responses to things that I say, probably knowing that I won't take the time (I don't have it... I'm not retired like he must be) to respond to every individual point that he makes and every accusation he points at me that's incorrect. He likes to create hyperbolic if not utterly false narratives and he hides them within ridiculous, long-winded posts that lack context. For example: He's right that I said that Tyrod Taylor was "near-Elite" at one point. It was during his best year in 2015. I never said it after that point. I also said I was wrong about him multiple times after. Thurm apparently believes that being wrong about something means you can never be right about anything else. It's okay, though. I'm a High School teacher. I can deal with narcissistic people quite well. I've learned Thurm is here for the strict purpose of essentially saying that everyone is wrong in some way about everything while never actually stating his own opinions/positions about absolutely anything. He's the ultimate Devil's Advocate. And that's fine by me... there should be one in every conversation

Oy... I really get under your skin, don't I?

Deal seems pretty inevitable

I kinda think this happens.

Miller plays in the line for a 4/3 defense. He really only ha LB in his title so he can wear the number 40. Miller comes back and we release Shaq Lawson and put him on the practice squad, obviously

This is a massive Beane win. What a find.

Regarding Bernard? You know they play different positions, right?

The guy is an absolute revelation

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
