Reading other fan's boards makes me feel better about this and other boards I follow. Puts so much in perspective.

Sounds like more false starts to me.

This made me go check again and it's down to 1.5 now. I have never seen swings like this. The swings would require very significant dollars being bet on both sides.

it is 6 points now

2.8

His current pass rating in this game is 10.4

I'm patiently waiting for the Jet's to leave Darnold back there again by himself

Hand full of jersey. Easy call really.

Sam's sitting on the sideline looking for that good looking brunette that gave him mono!

Not very smart putting Darnold back there by himself vs the Pats. Dumb dumb dumb

Ball game!

The CBS announcer mentioned that he thought Brown looked back too soon which slowed him down. But even at that, Josh over threw him.

If Josh stops growing and learning, or if he regresses, he will not be. Same as any kid I hire out of college. Do I think Josh or any kid I hire out of college will stop learning and growing or regress? No. If I did, I wouldn't have hired them. If Beane and McDermott thought Josh would quit learning and growing, I'm 100% sure they wouldn't have drafted him. In fact, I'm 100% sure they would not draft any kid that they didn't think would continue learning and develop into a better player. Given the offense around Josh last year and the brand new unit around Josh this year, I'm encouraged by the progress he's made. So, i'll play. If Josh takes the Bills to the Super Bowl next year and wins the MVP, I think he'll be the teams QB for the next 10 years.

Are "ifs" any different than blowing smoke up one's ass?

Belichick will put a ton of pressure on Darnold. He's the master of eating up young QBs.

This isn't just the Bills, it's every team in the NFL.

I'll let you count the number of long balls Josh threw in 2016.

Josh's 2016 vs 2017 stats at UW were significantly different due to the WRs and TEs on his team in 2016 that graduated. He completed many long balls his soph year. 2016: Allen helped lead Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and a spot in the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Wyoming hosted that championship game as the highest ranked team in the conference. The Cowboys went on to earn a berth in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. He was a key player in Wyoming’s win over two Top 25 ranked teams in 2016, as the Cowboys also earned votes in the national polls. The Cowboy offense ranked No. 2 in the MW and No. 25 in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 35.9 points per game. Wyoming led the conference and ranked 22nd nationally in first downs (312). As a team, UW averaged 15.27 yards per pass completion to rank No. 3 in the MW and No. 8 in the NCAA. The Cowboys converted 90.6 percent of their red-zone opportunities into points to rank No. 2 in the league and No. 14 in the country. As a sophomore, Allen ranked No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 6 nationally in passing yards per completion (15.33 yards). He also led the MW and was No. 16 in the country in points responsible for (218). Allen threw28 touchdown passes in 2016, placing him No. 1 in the conference and No. 20 in the NCAA.He was second in the MW and 32nd in the nation in passing yards (3,203). Allen was also No. 2 in conference and No. 40 in the nation in total offense (266.1 yards per game). His 3,203 passing yards in 2016 are the fifth best single-season total in Wyoming school history, and his 3,726 yards of total offense in a single season rank No. 3 in school history. His 36 touchdowns responsible for -- passing (28), rushing (7) and receiving (1) -- rank No. 2 in Wyoming history. Allen’s 28 passing TDs rank as the third best single season at Wyoming. He had five games of 300+ yards of total offense: 315 vs. Northern Illinois; 327 vs. Boise State; 327 vs. Utah State; 366 at UNLV; and 338 vs. San Diego State in the regular-season meeting between the two schools. His high passing game was a 334-yard effort at UNLV, his high rushing game was 74 yards vs. Air Force and his high total offense game was 366 at UNLV (334 passing and 32 rushing).

How's his long ball looking in practice all week? Is he over throwing receivers in practice? Oh, stats mattered a lot 6 months ago, until they didn't matter anymore

Yeah, I don't know either. Just a guess on my part, but I think Daboll pulled back on the reins on the gunslinger hero ball play. Especially after that NE game. He's gotten pretty dang conservative on his deep throws and the only guy that's going to reach it , if anyone does, is going to be his guy. Everyone see's he had the guy, including the opposing coaches and players. There is still some value in showing the opponent he can beat them with the long ball. He's going to have to connect on them sooner than later or else they quit respecting it.

It really doesn't matter who Josh looks like a year into his career. What matters is the trajectory Josh is on. Considering he had a crappy offense around him last year and a new cast around him this year, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well and how quickly he's growing. Success breeds success and too many fan are expecting too much too soon.

Oh that sucks. I'm sorry, I thought you were joking. Get you ass into see the Dr.

I think Allen and Darnold have the best chance of being around in 10yrs. But who knows?

You realize Brady is a game manager, right?
