I don't mind field goals but it sure feels like we have to settle on too many attempts. I'd like to convert one or two of those attempts into TDs down the stretch. Reduce the number of times we stall after crossing mid field. Those extra 4/8 pts are huge.

Josh is having some fun regarding it called the Border War (Wyo vs Colorado State). Mike Klis' twitter has some of ii, with much appreciation. We love us some Josh in Wyoming! https://twitter.com/MikeKlis?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author https://twitter.com/VicLombardi?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author https://www.denverpost.com/2019/11/20/josh-allen-wyoming-csu-football/

Elway followed Josh around a lot his junior year at UW. Denver was one of the teams that I didn't want Josh ending up at.

I guess I stand corrected. Perhaps it's the routes the Vikes use vs what the Bills use? Most likely, it's simply pure ignorance on my part

Red Zone or QB sneak with a yard or less to go. These should be the only designed runs called for Josh. His most exciting runs are when he's scrambling.

Oh I totally agree with you. My point, which I just stated in another response, is that a QBs stats would improve simply by improving the talent around him. Regarding your point about the supporting cast around Josh being exponentially better than it was last year, I'm not sure I agree. Perhaps because last year's cast was pretty weak. I love Brown but I'm not sure he's a #1 receiver, relative to other #1s in the league. He's certainly a very good #2. I think this O has a ton of potential. Overall, they are still below the NFL average in my opinion.

I prefer the eyeball test and based on that, I agree with you. But my point is a better line, better RB and better WRs would make a QB's stats improve even if the QB remained static.

Every single QB in the NFL has their bad games.

Many if not all of these stats are meaningless without considering the rest of the offense. I'm not suggesting Josh is better than the others because in fact he might be worse.

You a tweet critic? Seriously, we can't overlook Denver. I think they were leading at the start of the 4th in four of their losses.

Yesterday was the first time I heard they struggled with the uptempo. Not to say we shouldn't try it, but I assume they're working on that this week.

Josh was asked about Daboll being upstairs in his post game yesterday. He jokingly said there were a couple of times he stepped up for the snap and looked to Daboll on the sidelines and couldn't find him, then remembered he was up stairs. I don't think Daboll was talking to him.

With all do respect, don't say this

I agree but the question is why? Are the routes not opening as they should? Is he missing his receivers on their routes. Is his O line giving him additional time to improvise? Is he scrambling to buy himself more time to find an open receiver? There are both good and bad about this. One of Josh's strength's is his ability to scramble and buy himself more time to find a receiver. Let's not be critical of that. Obviously given this, he needs to do the smart thing with the ball and throw it away if he doesn't find a open receiver. I think he's gotten better and recognizing that. I think the Denver roster has good talent on it. Their weakness is Elway and the coaching staff.

the middle is strong. Edges need some help.

Denver was successful stopping the run, limiting the Vikes to just over 2yds per. They came averaging 4 1/2 yds per. Diggs tore up Davontae Harris, who was pulled the last two series. I'm not sure Brown is as good as Diggs, but Daboll needs to study that and see how Diggs was beating Harris. If it was just speed, we probably can't replicate that. I think our TEs could have a big game.

Typical Denver weather this time of year. Shouldn't benefit either team.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating Lamar and his success. I want to see every draft pick become that special player. Of course, and that is true for any rookie through about year three, and thus the 4yr rookie contract. Some need more than a year or two to adjust to the NFL. Others peter out after a couple of years. Lamar is having a great year. But on every one of his runs, I find myself waiting for that train to come out of nowhere and flatten the kid. I've seen that too often. How many licks can the kid take? Yet to be determined, right?

This doesn't say that, right? It says what he did doesn't result in any suspension.

I hope McDermott's actions match his words. We'll see if he walks the talk.

I think criminal assault charges are also appropriate.

This is the most significant difference with our receivers. We don't have anyone that goes and gets the 50/50 balls.

I'd love for no teams to show up. Doubt that happens, but...

Seattle's TE, fight for the 50/50 ball and one handed catch last night, for example.

I was thinking the other day that the offense plays not to lose for 3 quarters, then flips the switch and plays to win the 4th. The defense...just the exact opposite. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's my bias, but in all of the other games I watch each weekend, most teams seem to have WRs and TEs that make their QB look really good; the pass is anywhere near them and they go and get it, and come down with remarkable catches. You can count those made by Bill's receivers this year on one hand.
