I like it—simple yet effective at addressing glaring needs early

So...his idiocy allowed him to run for YPA barely dreamed of even by running backs let alone QB’s and has avoided major hits in the process, but he’s so much safer behind our current line in the pocket...got it. Also, he did just fine in terms of smarts and production, especially for a rookie who’s started less than 10 games, when contained by Patricia’s D in said pocket. How revolutionary that he can hurt you both ways! But you stay on the Rosen attitudinal express, by all means.

I won’t re-hash what others have already pointed out to you with better eloquence than I could offer up. I’m just curious what exactly it will take seeing from Allen before you change your avatar handle as having been a painfully obvious error? Bonus question would be, what does Rosen have to keep showing you in order for you to objectively keep your handle as is? Finally, how long of a sample size do you anticipate needing as to any of the above?

Agreed. The knee jerk hot stove reaction to fire everyone, that was running rampant on the boards by mid-season, clearly hasn’t been aging quite as well. I was just as guilty of that as anyone else, where it concerned Culley and Daboll. Allen is making undeniable leaps and bounds (no pun intended) advances to his game week over week, and we would be foolish to tinker with whatever is working for him right now. Obviously we have to build up the talent pool around him, but I’m coming around as to his coaching/mentoring resources in place already.

Sorry didn’t see you posted that already; glad you liked it too!

^^^^^^Nailed it.

Thanks for the thread/posting. As if I needed yet another reason to like the direction we are going with Josh Allen!

^^^^^This. Classic. Is.

As a fellow Home Alone fan, seeing Macaulay do this spot for a commercial was actually pretty funny/kinda cool I thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKYABI-dGEA

He already tried to last week--I have this on good authority, lol:

Happier, better days for the both of them...but still escalated the awkwardness really fast:

The best part about this vid from 2016, is the viewer comments section below it--check it out:

Before the last game against the Pats, we did a Tom Brady centered meme thread--here's round 2, but this time it might be fun to focus more on Belichick? But still feel free to add anything Brady as well

Just another hill for our boys to climb in trying to get a W this week with a stacked deck against them. Have to admit that ever since the whole Hughes incident a couple weeks ago, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on a call that costs us the game before the end of this year as a "solidarity payback" from the zebra brotherhood. <sigh>.

Bellychick has always prided himself on being able to scheme away for the entirety of a game, at least one of the main attack patterns of the opposing offenses (be it a specific playmaker, or style of play such as run-heavy or pass-heavy). I can't wait to see what he dials up for this game and how Allen will respond. Now that Hoodie has seen what Patricia did, will he try to emulate that and rely on TB12 being better than Stafford to pull out the W? IMHO the Pats D is no better than the Lions in terms of shut down personnel, so there should be opportunities for Allen to make them pay, whichever way they decide to play him. Can't wait for this game to start!!!

Hap, kudos for pulling in a MASH reference...love that show, timeless.

I appreciate where you're coming from and the overall sentiments in your post. Normally would agree 110% in fact. However, you can't help but question the timing/motivation of this announcement/voluntary pullback by JG, given Blitz's inclusion of this: ...is facing another indefinite suspension for violating terms of his reinstatement under the substance abuse policy, per source. That said, I truly hope from a human standpoint, that this becomes a turning point in this young man's life and he can pull it together. Because he has to want it, for himself, and not go through the motions of something that won't stick if he was forced into it in the first place. Good luck to him.

“Several weeks” Chris Brown? Really? Understatement of the year right there.

My attitude/outlook have both markedly improved since Josh’s return, as I have been pleasantly surprised by just how fast he appears to be owning leadership of this team and not finding the stage/bright lights too much for him. For the rest of the team, admittedly the bar was dropped so low at the beginning of the year and then through historically awful offensive ineptitude, that we could only go back up, and that’s what’s happening now. Our D held firm, our O is catching up with contributions from the unlikeliest of sources, and the future looks much much brighter IMO. We have an opportunity to go into NE this weekend and drive a stake through the heart of the undead Hoodie and his minions, capping our comeback from laughingstock to relevant. What’s not to love about the possibilities? Go Bills!!!

I really can't take that bet, unless you give me over/under on the amount of buffet hot dogs consumed by waiter R. Ryan between the kitchen and their table. However, maybe McD and Brown could also get their pictures taken with Santa as part of a special holiday 'brunch with the coach' episode?

The statements made in this article are aging quite well thus far... “Just listening to him talk – and I’ve been out of the game for a long time – I wanted to suit up. He can get you going. But the thing too is he’s so smart about the game of football, he’s going to know the buttons to push.’’ https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/raiders/2018/01/09/jon-gruden-oakland-raiders-coach-mark-davis/1018005001/

Ouch. No pun intended.

Why is it that the OL is always the group receiving presents? Wouldn't they want to give JA and the rest of the QB's in that room something nice, as a gesture for all the "lookout, here they come!" blocks given up this year? Maybe a little something to take the edge off of endangering his life and limb every time they set foot outside the tunnel on game day?

Will they also spring for some genuine astroturf in the backyard? Wonder how many road rash type burns/twisted ankles the actors suffered during the outside shots playing catch or whatever out there...classic TV magic!

I would seriously put some money down to see that--who can make this happen?
