Lets see how this Texans game works out

It counts as 6 just the same, but it's more stressful for a defense to be threatened vertically. When we start seeing Super Bowl champions led by QB's who run scramble a lot I will change my mind.

I'm sure having to care for the run game at QB stretches the defense in uncomfortable ways but in my opinion the main power of a QB is to stretch the defense vertically by throwing the ball. I just don't view rushing touchdowns at QB in the same way as passing touchdowns. Which is fine if you want to debate that, I just don't see Allens value in the running game literally being double this year which his running TD's would indicate nor do I see the value of those TD's near on the level of passing TD's which most people on this forum now prescribe to. I also feel the offense has failed us in 3 of our 4 postseason losses. We can say the 2019 team didn't have talent or Allen hasn't had the tools or that the defense failed us which it most certainly did, but nobody uses qualifiers as time progresses. It's only a luxury afforded to die hard fans like yourself. Some die hard in Cuba is talking about how Marino really is the greatest of all time and Shula just never surrounded him with the right players. Meanwhile it's not even a conversation outside that group. Same thing with Josh. Nobody is debating who the best QB in December and January is that doesn't belong to this forum. It's not even being asked.

It’s a growing trend to compare Allen’s rushing TD’s to others passing TD’s and while I understand a TD is a TD it’s not that way with how defenses respect the position. I hope he defines his legacy starting Sunday.

Yes, I’m high because I think a sub 70 rating in todays NFL is not good.

His QB rating in the Houston game and Bengals game was under 70. The offense did nothing in the AFC championship vs KC and his rating was under 80. He did not help Buffalo in those losses. If we want to say he wasn't the reason that's fine. The whole team sucked in all of these games including him and the offense. Outside of these games he has been really good in the playoffs.

I agree with this, but I think he was being authentic. He's dry and sarcastic and somewhat abnormal to most and I think him mocking the cold is his version of dismissing it. Sort of like Eminem in the last scene in 8 mile he thinks calling it out vs not calling out sort of eliminates it's power. His way of doing that is to be sarcastic and somewhat silly in doing so. Now is this the right move? Who knows. His teams lost because they weren't good enough more than they weren't ready. I mean they damn near upset us with Skyler Thompson last year. So I'm hesitant to say his players didn't care. We clearly had the better team last year and KC clearly had the better team this year.

I'm in San Diego, but if this is the OP I can be there in the morning

Ya, I think this team really embraced "us vs the world" but way more so than we might have seen before. I think this year they saw how Bills fans can be when its bad. No fair weather, but it's a fish tank type of market. When times are good they're treated like kings and when they're aren't it can be pretty bad. It's how it actually is. Perhaps the McD thing only solidified that feeling. It was interesting to see how Dawkins shrugged of the Brady comments. He shrugged them off so hard he didn't even know what she was talking about at first. "Brady? Brady who?"

Would you prefer a former professional or knowledgeable person review game film and provide some insights on players we wouldn't have with normal statistics? I think anyone would agree right away it won't be perfect. At the very least it's directionally correct. So who cares if it's not perfect? I guess I don't understand what the uproar on this is.

I bet he can touch his nose with his tongue

Nothing like celebrating these wild card wins. When our claim to fame is no longer wild card champions this thread could have some legs. Great chance Sunday to start that narrative.

Diggs can show her around town. I hear he's who you want to watch over your lady for you.

9-7 and a playoff birth or one win better than Rex Ryan, however you want to frame it

My man, he has made it as far as McD has since 2016 and he doesn't have Josh Allen. Please don't compare aging Ben to Josh. McD has one divisional win in his career. Tomlin has 2 AFC championships, 3 division wins, and a Super Bowl.

Ben missed all of 2019 and was 38 and 39 in 2020 and 2021 and a shell of himself. So you want to review the 2016-2020? He lost to Tom Brady in a AFC Championship game. I don't know what your point is here.

You expect McDermott to beat Tomlin if he had Rudolph and Tomlin had Allen?

I'm perfectly fine saving a swing to Cook, jump pass, or drop back in that situation until a big moment. I would think it would be open.

I have been hard on Diggs this season, but where I just felt my manhood go, it's clear I don't think we can lose him
