     Let me ask you and @soflabillsfan1a question:

     

    In Tom Brady's first SB win, he had one 300 yard game during the regular season and one during the playoffs. In those two games, he averaged 53 attempts to reach 300 yds, threw for 2 TDs and 1 INT, and averaged 22.5 points per game. In fact, in the playoff game in which he threww for 300 yards, he didn't have a touchdown and the defense bailed him out in a 16-13 win.

     

    In the Super Bowl, he threw for 145 yds. Yet, when his team needed him, he pushed the ball downfield and put his team in position to kick the game winning field goal.

     

    What was more meaningful? The 300 yard games or the ability to carry his team when he needed to.

     

    I suppose we could use your simple analysis above and say if Brady threw for 300 yards in the Super Bowl, he wouldn't have had to come back with a game winning drive in the 4th quarter. 

     

    Allen led his team to wins in a number of games and didn't throw for 300 yards. Did you even read what I wrote before responding?

     

    Still haven't answered my question on Allen being a catalyst for the team.

     

    You are the cyber equivalent of a 3 year old throwing a tantrum in a store because his mommy didn't buy him the candy bar he wanted...

    You're citing 1 game.  I'm citing 28 years.  I guess I can cite games too. What about when Brady in 2017 had to throw for 466 yards to come back and beat the falcons?  What about when he threw for 328 and 4 TDs to beat the seahawks? What about the 354 yards and 3 TDs against the panthers in 2004?  Here's another fact.  In the last 28 years, in the games where a SB winning QB threw for over 300 yards, they were 76-18, win to lose ratio.

    And I pointed out that citing "27 out of the last 28 SB winning QB's have thrown for over 300 yards that season" without any further analyses or context is meaningless. Period.

     

    Also, having a QB that can push the ball downfield through the air when needed is a completely different discussion. A QB can do just that and still not pass for 300 yards in that game.

    Well that's your opinion and i disagree.

    Nope. I rarely have a bad day. I am just pointing out that citing something like almost every QB that has won a SB had at least one 300 yard game that season, with no further analyses or context,  has about as much meaning as saying every QB that has won a game played at night, did so after the sun went down.

    I cited the fact that 27 out of the last 28 SB winning QB's have thrown for over 300 yards that season. (That's a bit more important then what time a game is played) Then I gave my opinion.  In the context of a season, eventually you'll need a QB that can push the ball downfield through the air.  If you don't have that, you're much less likely to win a SB unless you have a top 3 of all time defense.

    I didn't think so. At least you recognize how ridiculous it would be to defend something like a QB who won a SB and threw for one 300 yard game during that season as meaning anything at all...

    You didn't break down anything in any meaningful way at all. Seriously - are you that delusional?

    Are you having a bad day?

    Let's say you have a QB that throws one 300 yard game.  That in statistical terms is a N (sample size) of one.  From a statistical perspective you cannot base any conclusion on an N of one.

     

    As I said above, I would be delighted if Josh throws for 300 yards Sunday.  But if they lose, then it means nothing other than a loss.

     

    Not making a conclusion.  Just pointing out that in the last 28 years, 27 SB winning Qb's have thrown for 300 yards during the season and only 1 hasn't.  

  6. Since the 1990 season, only 1 Super bowl winning QB has not thrown for 300 yards in the regular season or playoffs.  That was Trent Dilfer in 2000.  Stop saying 300 yard games don't mean anything.  The numbers say otherwise.  At some point in the season, you're going to need to be able to push the ball downfield through the air.  The guys like Trent and EJ couldn't do that.  That's why they're not in the league anymore.

    Dude was a beast yesterday..... Star was the complete opposite, per usual.

    Star was falling all over himself yesterday.

     

    He actually made a nice play to get to the Henry at the LOS only to bounce off of him, miss the tackle and fall on his ass. Guy is a complete waste.

    I saw that.  Star gets paid like a million dollars a tackle.  He must try not to blink every day just in case this is some dream he's living in. 

  8. I don't get what the Bills were looking at when they watched Ford's tape.  Anyone with any football knowledge could tell he was going to struggle mightily with speed rushers at this level.  I know it's early, but for me, the RT experiment is over.  Have to hope he turns into a stud guard.
