He’s a horrible qb... he can run that’s it...
Horrible thrower, yes. Horrible QB, no. He’s dynamic.. non-traditional, but dynamic.
Just not sure it works against peer teams in high pressure games. He absolutely murders bad-average teams.

Lamar is good. People saying he’s trash are just hating.
However, is he the type of good you can win in the Playoffs with?
Remains to be seen.
Allen proved himself yesterday against an top tier defense, knowing he had to score on limited opportunities due to our defensive struggles. I can only imagine the anxiety of a close playoff game in which you see the clock bleeding while on the sidelines.
Lamar has a good defense and offense tailored to his skill set. He can shut everyone up if he starts carrying his team like Josh did.

Where are all the “Nobody wants to face the Ravens” folks?
Still early, of course, but big yikes.

He always does imo. When he played us with the Phins, I thought he always would give the game away. Since he left, lights out.
We dont match up well with the Titans if we dont boat race them. They are too physical for us to play their game.
I can’t make that determination based off what I’ve seen.
They have physical playmakers in Henry, Smith, Brown and Davis - but not the physical OL that Indy has.
I agree that game would be a shootout, but I think our defense is far more likely to get some stops/force turnovers than what we saw against the ball control, dominant OL Colts matchup.

For me he is the first guy I want to sign out of him feliciano and Milano. But probably the most expensive also.
100%. We have bookend tackles who are both above average at their position.
There are none scenarios where we should value a LB or OG over a RT who is under 30.
Id love to keep everyone, and maybe we do, but Williams is priority #1 for me.

One thing I worry about with the Bills is their level of physicality.
The Bills at the moment are — and I hate to say it — a bit of a finesse team. Can they go toe to toe with the Titans or Ravens and punch them in the mouth?
Ravens, I feel like we match up well with their running attack.. They rely on misdirection and speed. They don’t have an overwhelming OL like Indy. We’re a well coached and extremely athletic/fast defense.
Titans have a filthy RPO game, but not the OL of Indy.

Mort threw it out there on ESPN earlier today.
Nothing concrete, sounds more like “hey, this makes sense for both sides”, with a little bit of smoke to it.
Convo would start with, at least, Tua, and the ironic #3 pick, back to Houston for Watson.

I see fans of QB needy teams clamoring for Trey Lance now, simply because of Josh Allen.

Tennessee picked our defense apart last time we played. We focused so much on Henry, that Tannehill just nickel and dimes us at will.
Hesitant to make excuses based on yesterday’s performance, but we were also the walking wounded on defense last time we played the Titans.-

I think he's talking about a different Brown throw. The one along the sideline. The drop by Brown was over the middle. The sideline throw was thrown too high. Tough throw but Josh has been making a ton of them. Two yesterday to Davis even.
On a side note, Brown 4 targets and 0 catches. Disappointing after he looked pretty good last week in his first game back. But Luckily Davis is stepping up like he has most of the season so far.
Ah, gotcha.
Brown is going to be an interesting decision. When “right” he’s a top end #2, but after being injured most of the season, and then disappearing again in a Playoff game, I just don’t know about that $9 mil cap hit.
I generally hate the idea of trading offensive investment for defensive, but with how Davis looks as a rookie, and the fact we might be able to sign a guy like Stills for a fraction of the price... it might make sense to move on from him.
Of course, he could completely change my mind next week.

I feel the same way. Similar to the first Patriots game. Now Indy is legit (compared to the Pats, who are not), but I think we can tell, looking back, that we had to internally get over that hump.

I’m about to smack around some of these GM’s who keep trading with AFCE teams..
Miami holding Houston’s #3 pick.
Seattle bowing out in the WC Round, elevating the 1 (of 2) first round picks they sent the Jets for a ****** safety.
-
GB lost Bakhtiari, so let’s see how that OL looks moving forward.
I don’t think Tennessee has a great OL. It’s certainly not close to Indy’s... Teams have gotten to Tannehill, and he struggles when they do. Of course, Tannehill is mobile, which presents another set of issues to gameplan against.

Agreed, going into a playoff game it makes sense to use this more of an option than in the regular season. However they made it a staple for no reason. Passing the ball worked, they needed to stick with what got them here a little more. A few runs, yes I'm good with that but there were a few too many. Especially against a D that is fantastic vs the run and terrible vs the pass.
What I am about to say here is not Josh hate, I love what he has become, he has improved way more than I thought was possible but there is still room for improvement. Josh tensed up in the 4th quarter and we saw some "bad Josh". Earlier in the 4th he was throwing harder than normal, the ball that went through Brown's hands, the next to Beasley where there was good RAC opportunity but his bullet made him go to the ground to secure the catch. We saw this a lot more in his first two years. A lot of what has made him better this year is appropriate pace on the ball. He wants to make a play on every play so when the defense puts him in a position where he is getting wrapped up he fights through, gets out and guess what, another guy shows up. Sometimes you have to just take the sack. Go back to the second half vs the Rams, they did this to him consistently, pressure up the middle and then there was a guy in his escape lane on the edge. That is when bad things can happen. On that down and distance, a sack was not the end of the world, a turnover is. Having said all that, these types of plays happen way less frequently now and I think getting a win in a playoff game will help calm him down. He can now build off the success of winning a playoff game.
The fumble and missed check down throw to Knox were my only issues in the 4th.
I guess we can count the Beasley throw, but that’s a stretch, imo.
The Brown throw, disallowed, tomfoolery on that criticism. Brown full blown dropped that. Allen shouldn’t have to underhand throws to WR’s when they hit them in the hands and they don’t even need to move to catch it.

I’ll admit, I didn’t think it would be close.
I also thought we’d pull away after 24-10.
That Colts team is GOOD.
They have the recipe to beat us, but we out-executed them in the red zone:
-Elite OL and an accurate, quick release QB.
-Strong 4 man pass rush with disciplined zone coverage behind them.
-
I’m not going to get on the DL for this game.
Rivers played great... we can admit that, it’s allowed. His anticipation throws were pinpoint. That’s an elite OL and Rivers got rid of the ball in an average of about 2.2 seconds.
I never thought we’d be hitting Rivers much..
However, I didn’t think we’d get gashed in the run game, picked apart underneath, give up plays down the field AND struggle to get off the field on 3rd down.
That was a really poor defensive performance. Hopefully we can chalk it up to a bad matchup against a team that executed at a really high level.
I expect this defense to play much better moving forward.
Even if they do get it together, there is far too much $$$ being spent on a good, not great DL. Also, there are stud linebackers & cornerbacks that will be available towards the end of the 1st round.

I think this did two things: 1. Pressure off Allen; Bills won a playoff game: play a little more comfortable and 2. realize that they can beat good teams without having to play their A game. That said they played against the beat OLine they'd see until potentially the Superbowl and best Defense they'll see (including the Ravens). But the Colts did exactly what I was nervous teams would do against the Bills: control the clock with the run but I didn't think Rivers had the arm to beat the Bills so I thought the Colts would be the better matchup but they showed up. Hopefully the Bills avoid the Titans; I don't think they can stop Henry and Tannehill
There is a trade off though...Colts OL >>> Titans OL
Colts Defense >>> Titans Defense

That was close. He was bobbling the ball for awhile. Don’t blame refs on field for saying incomplete.
I do.... because it was complete.-

Do you know what has been the lowest point total Frank Reich's offense has had since Week 9 this year?
24 points.
What about it?
Tre blew a coverage.
You want to blame a co-ordinator for the GM's mistakes?
Nevermind....
I’ll chalk this up to a bad matchup, because the defense forced one punt...They’ve struggled at times, mainly early in the season - when extremely banged up, but I don’t know if it was ever this bad.
The 24 points argument is beyond misleading.. They bled the clock more than any team I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

There’s just no chance I can find it in myself to compliment anything Defense-related after today’s performance.

Probably both, but I feel they NEED Williams. They don't seem to trust Singletary in those power running situations (goal line and toward the end of the game). I think Williams could feel that role...give them some angry runs.
Not to fear, Daboll has rediscovered the QB sweep. -
As a man in my 30’s, this is probably the closest I’ve felt to being a kid on Christmas Eve.

Joe B tweeted his two assumptions:
One, that this is just insurance.
Two, that we are all in on passing and only activate 2 tight ends.
Those both make complete sense to me.
If he’s active, I’d take Duke as WR5 or WR6 over Roberts, depending on Beasley’s status.

Wild Card: early game Baltimore at Tenn 1:05 on ESPN

Honestly, it’s just semantics.
We both seem to think he has fatal weaknesses, I just don’t say he’s a bad QB because I think outside-the-box can work to some degree at the position.
