To be clear I was referring to taking "check downs" as the first option not as a later option. Brady understood this. What was being argued for IMO was the Kurt Cousins check down approach. You know the one where on 4th & 8 at the end of a playoff game you throw a 3 yard completion. I didn't but now I do. My bad.

And this type of thinking brought us 18 years of football purgatory.

I was a little surprised that Allen got the award over Wilson. But in that game Wilson did throw a bad pick 6 while also going against a historically bad defense.

Just like Watson in 2020 who had almost 5000 yards passing on a 4 - 12 Texans team. Garbage time stats further enhanced by throwing against prevent defenses for a quarter per game can really boost the yardage & TD numbers.

I read somewhere that Allen said he dinged his "funny bone" on that play which can hurt like hell for a few minutes but have zero longer term effects.

My view of McD is in the process of changing. He does seem to be coaching differently, his 4th down gambles come to mind, while still maintaining what he's always been good at - building a solid culture. I also think McD may be benefiting from a shift in the NFL as it moves from total offensive domination to a more balanced defensive/offensive split. Just look at the return of the RB to prominence and the diminished importance of having a stud WR.

I think some of these announcers are doing just that.

Wow, Aikman & Buck are morons to say teams will be knocking down Winston's door to sign him. Sure 500 yards and 4 TD's is impressive but he also had THREE picks including TWO pick sixes. So unless they clone Levi Wallace and make every team start him at CB Winston is still the same QB that hasn't been good anywhere else he played. Funny how picks are a big deal for some QB's and not for others.

So this has been the week of the pick 6's. Now watch Jamison go down and et a garbage TD and go over 500 yards!

Karma. Am I the only one that thinks Payton sucks at managing his TO's and challenges?

Agree. By the time he secured the ball one foot was of the turf. This should be reversed...................

So the refs miss an obvious off side by the Browns on 4th down and before that miss an obvious face mask on the Browns against the Denver RB during a long run. Judas priest these are critical missed calls. The NFL needs to fix this. Instead the billionaire boys club and their lick spittle commissioner stare at a globe wondering if there's any money to be made playing a game in Kirghistan.

I agree. If people want to hear a color commentator that hates Allen check out the goofball Aikman on MNF.

For me that 97 yard drive to put the game basically out of reach was amazing given the weather. And that pass to Knox that got the Bills out of their own end zone was sublime. Allen also had another great pass to Knox in the 2nd half. Given the conditions those two passes were jaw dropping. This is a Super Bowl caliber team.

They are afraid of his running so they focus on trying to"contain" him. NFC teams just don't see this type of QB play and they tend to overcompensate.
