I heard he once punted one into the crowd. Everyone talks about the time the Schmidt hit the fan.

That's a lot of emotion coming from a guy named "Logic." Good thing you ditched the Spock avatar. ? But seriously, that was a great write-up. Like you, I've been reluctant to get burned on another false-hope QB, but Josh is really making a case for being the real thing.

"We know you grew cantaloupes, now we know you have 'em."

I think it means the perpetrator was wearing one of these:

Of course, everything is from a fan's point of view, but Shaw usually offers a balanced perspective on things. I don't always agree with his conclusions, but his reasoning is usually sound. For example, in addition to the good points, he recognized the bad throws and acknowledged that there were probably some open receivers that Josh missed and some audibles that he should have made. Did he overlook any negatives that you saw? (Besides the running play that I mentioned.)

If the Jags cut him and he's willing to sign a one-year "prove it" deal, then sure, I'd take him back. I doubt that happens, though.

Starting in college, I grew a beard every fall and shaved it off every spring. Now I keep it year round. It's itchy to start, but after it fills in, the itchiness goes away. Thanks to my Sicilian ancestry, that's about a week for me. For grooming, a little mineral oil after showering is good. I used to trim my beard short, but my wife said it was scratchy. I let it go bushier now - not quite Jerry Garcia - and she likes it better ... for several reasons. ?

"... and that's why I call the song Alice's Restaurant."

"You tell Fournette that if he comes to this house again, I will personally kick his ass."

Whether or not the Bills hire him, I'm glad his middle name is 'Timothy' and not 'Kevin."

Assuming they cut him, Andy will land somewhere as a starter. He won't come here to be a backup.

"Buffalo: where QBs go to die." I have to say, I like that phrase in this context much better than the way in which it was used in the past.

"One man's trash is another man's flash."

"Doug, you need to fire your OC."

This isn't Twitter. Some thoughts exceed 280 characters.

I agree, but in that situation, a RB up the gut for no gain is okay - they were already in FG range.

Nice objective assessment of Josh Allen. I agree that his arm is the future, but the fact that he can make plays with his legs, a la Aaron Rodgers, is great. However, I'd like to see less of that in situations where it's not necessary, like late in the 4th quarter, with a 7-point lead, in the red zone. No need to risk a QB running play - all they need to do is burn some clock, kick a FG, and put the game out of reach. Josh ran an option and got tackled in a way that even made the announcers wonder how he escaped injury. There's a time and place to run such a play; that was neither.

"Looks like Coach McD will be spending some extra time in confession this week."

An incomplete Hail Mary also counts against the QB's stats, just like a spike and a throw-away. You win some, you lose some.

In general, people who make embarrassing comments don't, in fact, know who they are. Dunning–Kruger effect.

The team that had possession of the ball when it was lost, just like a fumble that goes out of bounds.

I'd put it at the spot of the fumble.

He did say, "Other than that TD pass..."

I would gladly eat my words. Then I'd buy a lottery ticket.
