I think this is a valid point. I would agree with you here.

One thing that cannot be overlooked. We've seen other QBs get away with "poor decisions"...throwing across their bodies, throwing into coverage...and getting away with it. Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are among that group. Their receivers make plays and bail them out. Instead of getting castigated, their throws end up on highlight reels. Now before anyone touts that Mahomes and Jackson are better than Josh at this point...I'm not saying he's in their company. My point is...he doesn't have the receivers to allow him to get away with bad decisions. I think he needs to put that realization at the top of his lesson plan.

You know he has one! He befriended McVay all last season, calling him after games and chatting. (McVay talked about this in interviews.) McVay was flattered. Hah! Belichek was getting intel, figuring they may be an opponent in the Super Bowl.

Excellent write up as always, Shaw! Totally agree, especially about Zay. I used to be a Zay advocate, but no more. Too many things happen when Josh is throwing in his direction...and just for the reasons you state. He's not competitive. (He reminds me a bit like Lee Evans in that respect.) I'm disappointed after yesterday's game, but not disheartened. On the other hand, I'm totally disillusioned and disgusted with the NFL in general...particularly in the officiating and Riveron's reviews. There is no consistency from game to game...except that certain teams and players seem to be favored sons.

Yep. Heard that. Tasker said he was the only one left in the room after the others bolted to be commentators on the networks.

I don't buy any of Jones' excuses. Look at his posture after the hit. He stood with his arms flexed over Allen momentarily, like a prize fighter who knew he just ko'd his opponent.

You're right...that's why I think they should have stuck with the run. I'm also thinking of the previous series when they were at the Eagles 1 yard line...4 straight pass plays...all incomplete.

You are right. In the end the Packers couldn't run (or were unwilling to run) and couldn't stop the run (Pettine's defense. Where have we seen that before.) Being able to run the football is especially important when you're inside the 10. Look at the Browns on Sunday. You have Chubb, and you try four pass plays?

Big ones would be nice.

Yep. Two former Bills defensive coordinators.

So nice to have big receivers. Especially when they can catch.

Anybody got him in Fantasy?

Packers D just disappeared on that last TD.

Did love all the sacks though.

Looks like this is turning into a game!

Except Pettine's D isn't good at stopping the run.

Absolutely! The ceiling is very high on Josh.

Thanks for saying this. I always thought Sharpe was on the right team (Broncos) since he physically resembles a horse.

Wendy Nix on NFL Live picked the Bills in her "all in" hat segment in today's show. You pick the team you are "all in" on this week. Del Rio picked the Bengals to get their first win. One guy picked the Vikings because of their run game. Ryan picked the Panthers. Then Wendy grabbed the Bills helmet. She believes in them, although not necessarily predicting a win.

I also think they are carrying so many as potential trade bait later in the season. Linemen are always going down and teams get needy. These guys are 3rd string for the Bills but could be seen as 2nd string or starters on other teams if the need arises.

Another well written, spot on piece of journalism! When I think of Josh Allen, I think of the theme song to the TV show years ago "The Facts of Life." "You take the good. You take the bad. You take them both and then you have the facts of "Josh." He's a work in progress and we are getting to see that progress week after week, Tums in hand, exhilarated one moment, nauseated the next. Sort of like being on a roller coaster. Weeeeeee!

He also wears suspenders under his jersey.

That Ernie Shakespeare sure could write!

Fuller looked like Tre on that one.

Keenum has such incredible ball skills.
