I’m trying to understand. You’re the one who said he’s not necessarily squandering the opportunity with his play… so I don’t understand why you keep bringing up his play? I just want it to make sense.

You already said he wasn’t necessarily squandering the Captain with his play. These are your exact words “It's an opportunity that he is so far squandering... and not necessarily by his play.” So you bringing up individual or team results this time around seems irrelevant to me. That leaves what he’s providing in the locker room/to his teammates. Not speaking to the media is an isolated incident for him, but definitely a bad look. What else? Something, something Two Dogs *****

If you’re not penalizing him for his play, it sounds like you’re in the locker room regularly to glean some insight? This seems like a really cool opportunity for you to let us in on the inner workings of the team. What exactly is Gabe Davis failing to provide for his teammates in the locker room?

It’s all narrative driven. Hard to get people to move off their spot. Teams were “Tanking for Tua” the year he came out and the year Josh Allen came out he was considered “a parody of a QB prospect”

I mean that’s fine, dismiss the TDs. Here we sit and Josh has played in 11 games, Mahomes and Hurts are in the midst of their 10th. They’re the front runners for MVP. Josh Allen 29 TD and 15 TO in 11 games which is good for 1.93 TD for every 1 turnover. Jalen Hurts 23 TD and 12 TO in 9.75 games which is good for 1.91 TD for every 1 turnover. Patrick Mahomes 19 TD and 11 TO in 9.75 games which is good for 1.71 TD for every 1 turnover. Josh left the field with a lead and less than 2 minutes on the clock in two different games this year and didn’t see the ball again. They lost those games. That’s the difference in the narrative and it’s not even his fault.

He didn’t. He hurt it before that, he got hit/pushed on a throw and came up wincing while shaking it out. Hard to tell as it happened, but they showed a replay that was more clear.

Depends on who you ask. If you ask Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, they’ll say it’s an ankle injury that’s been lingering for a few weeks per the injury report. If you ask folks on this message board, they’ll say it’s bustitis.

We didn’t get Douglas for a 3rd. That wasn’t the deal. If you’re worried about his “spotty play” then be worried about Young not being active for 24 games lol

Jimmy G has made a career off of being the guy who was drafted to be the heir to Brady. He’s a fine game manager/ball distributor. He’s nothing more than that - he won because he’s been surrounded by two very good coaches up to this point. Players in NE loved McD because he wasn’t Belichick. Nobody in Denver liked him because he was a total ####### (articles everywhere) and it sounds like he wasn’t revered in LV. "After trading away the young nucleus of our offense including Jay Cutler, Josh said to the entire team 'Fellas don't worry about the QB situation, I can turn a HS QB into an All Pro,'" Polumbus wrote on Twitter.

Yeah, that’s it. I’m sure every GM sits in their office going “I better pretend like I’m working.” and then plays speed dial roulette with an agent. Don’t pollute the board with stupid *****.

I propose a “Josh Allen Cam” on the sideline to track how many asses he pats and words he yells. I mean what the ***** people, just because the camera cuts to him for 15 seconds and he’s looking at an iPad or staring ahead doesn’t mean *****. You do realize how much time there is on the sidelines? But let’s just hone in on 15 seconds with no context.

Maybe, maybe not. That’s the point, the book isn’t written yet. For whatever reason you’re comfortable speaking in absolutes.

Holy Hyperbole Batman. He’s cheap, young and talented. There’s clearly an issue and some sort of disconnect, but I’m not sure trading him helps this team.

Let’s see these tiers…

I don’t understand the fascination with trading away players. Depth is OK. He’s on a rookie deal, let it play out. He’s had highs and lows, but the desire to cut bait so quickly is a little out there.

But, but, but when the camera cuts to Josh randomly on the sideline for 3-4 seconds he's sitting there expressionless. That means he is not a leader!

Yeah, because that’s how it works. We should trade Josh and nab Chad Kelly from the Argonauts while we’re at it.

It took Marty S 10 seasons to win 4 playoff games. 10 SEASONS! He didn’t string together two playoff wins until his 10th season. Andy Reid only did it three times in 14 seasons in Philadelphia and it took him 6 before he did it in Kansas City. So your guys are Andy Reid (Mahomes era) and Bill Belichick (who McDermott stomped in their one playoff matchup)… McVay or Shanahan (please don’t forget his role in the Falcons Super Bowl implosion) ? I have a hard time including Zac Taylor. Not touching John Harbaugh, Mike Tomlin or Matt LaFleur because I’m not convinced they’re able to elevate like you’re asking for. Who else? That’s what, 4 guys who have (objectively) been able to do it do it better than Sean? The likelihood of finding them is slim, that’s why those guys usually stick in once place for a long time. The only guy who may become available is Belichick and he’d want to control the entire show… which isn’t going too well right now. Reid and Shanahan will be there as long as they’d like and McVay will go from the Rams sideline to the booth. What first year coaching candidates are out there that can go and elevate this team? What about retreads? Who is out there that has shown the ability to get a team over the top?

I’m more concerned about how he injured his shoulder yesterday… trying to make a throw when he’d typically scramble.

Diggs was actually open there after Josh scrambled. He wasn’t Miami Dolphins open, but he was open, Josh just overthrew him.

You nailed it - you're the great liberator of realistic thought.

He has like a .650 W% how can you make an argument that he doesn’t put players in the best positions to succeed? I mean seriously, step back for a second and think. “Oh, it’s only Josh Allen.” Yeah, Josh is really ***** good.. but we were declared as trying to outsmart math by drafting him because of how raw and unlikely he was to succeed, and yes McDermott was a HUGE part of developing him. Ok? As we slightly transition away from your comment of “the Bills don’t put players in a position to succeed in the McD era” this game is a nice point of reference. You know, the game where the team that is setting NFL offensive records was held to 20 points and lost by 48? If some talking head wants to declare us as winning the September Super Bowl, that’s fine? I’m sure it’s the same talking head that’s been anointing the Dolphins as the division winners for 2 years now.. the same Dolphins team that is 1-3 against Buffalo dating back to last year and 0-3 since their September Super Bowl. But, but, but JGMcD2, the Dolphins played the Bills close in all of those games last year and ALMOST won with Skylar Thompson. Yeah, they also had a full offseason to make adjustments and close the gap and then lost by 28.

Do me a favor, next time when you’re thinking of making a post, unplug the keyboard beforehand. Thanks in advance.

You’re quickly becoming the most infuriating read on the board… it’s a shame you probably enjoy hearing that

I mean, yes, but since Diggs got to Buffalo the Bills are 6-1 against New England (including the playoffs). He’s caught 43 of 63 targets for 629 yards and 6 TDs. Roughly 6 catches for 90 yards and a TD per game?
