Penix Pulls

I found this funny but not humorous

For a second the first two threads on the wall were "Penix pulls out" followed by "Steel raised"

I would say if he belongs in this conversation he would have tp join Brady/Manning with several.

Couldn't agree more about the stats.

I'm playing the long game, 20 years and 5,000 posts of trolling 😂

I can never satisfy my craving for defensive ends. I even added some high motor! 😂

Can he get to 40? I mean that’s not even that abnormal at this point.

Funny you say that because it will be his 7th year next season and it was Brady's 7th year when they went undefeated in the regular season.

Ya, Henry is about as close as we can get to that type nowadays.

Nobody is a give it and go type back anymore, but some guys would still do just fine. Among the bruisers he's the most likely to be in that category. Tackling that much condensed muscle would hurt regardless of the era.

Curious what you have seen in the last 6 that doesn't tell you it can't go on for another 10? He has played in every conference championship since 2018 starting as a 2nd year player. We haven't seen that before. We sort of saw it with one other player. Plenty of threads you don't need to be compelled to go into them all Josh is way above Rivers. Big Ben, Peyton, and Brees comparisons are more accurate in the scheme of this conversation.

If you started watching football in the 90's or earlier you got to witness the entirety of Brady with some decent context to boot. It felt like Brady was inevitable . If he had the ball late it wasn't if he would score but when. Leads didn't matter. He practically erased other HOF level QB's of that generation. Sure Ben, Peyton, and Drew eventually got one, which is good lesson for us because it really felt unlikely for a period of time. I think most of us feel like that level of domination just isn't possible again. Like what we saw was a once in lifetime thing. Bruce Smiths sack record, Barry Sanders doing Barry things. You just don't think you will see some things again because until that point all those years taught you they shouldn't happen in the first place. So when we see a guy like Mahomes have this type of success we sort of think, ok, ya, he's good but do it again. Then the next year you say the same thing. Then the next and the next and eventually you forget that you have been saying do it again for half a decade. Maybe what we are seeing is in fact another version of what all of us hoped we would never see again. Which as history has taught us, does not mean we will not get one or perhaps more, but it does mean it will be a very difficult path. Brady played in an era where stats were just not as easy to pile up as Mahomes so when you look at the data keep that in context. After 6 years in the league...... Mahomes = 4 AFC Championships, 2 Super Bowls, 1 pending Brady = 3 AFC championships, 3 Super Bowls The stats after 6 seasons aren't really close. I included Allen's most recent 5 years and extrapolated it into 6 years for comparisons sake. We sit here every offseason trying to solve why we didn't get to the Super Bowl like it's a physics question. Nobody would think that way during the Brady era. You knew out of the gate you weren't the favorite. You never were going to be the favorite and it would take something special to overcome it. We don't think that way because we keep saying ya, sure, do it again. Over and over it goes.

He did a pretty good job with this. Free and a great blend of video. Worth the watch.

I was going for realism. I also decided on a trade to round it out with some more depth. I think I nailed it to be honest.

So lets say the league wanted the Bills in the Super Bowl. On our last drive Allen fumbled. We recovered and went onto to miss the field goal. What if we didn't recover the fumble? Are you saying when the league wants a team to win it would never get close enough where at the end something like I described could determine the outcome?

So excited the worst thread of the year was bumped

Agree, I have not seen any reason to believe we somehow roll over the Bengals. Even now, I would rather play KC or really anybody else. It's a team we have yet to beat, bad match up for us and KC.

I think a lot of fans are actually the opposite of you which is why this is harder than 13 seconds. I think most of us came out of 13 seconds with a lot of hope. Sure, we lost in horrific fashion but Allen emerged as a truly elite player. The Bills were the talk of the town in many respect. We expected to be the Super Bowl champs the next year. I mean really expected it. So it was a little bit easier to dust yourself off and see the bright side. With this loss I don't know where we go from here. We have earned the reputation for not closing in the postseason which is especially bad because it makes you question the validity of the 17 games you watch to get to that point. So next year if we field a top 5 defense how many think it will actually carry over? I will be hesitant to say the least. Then as you point out we had so much opportunity this year. Next year we likely have to contend with Stroud, possibly even Herbert, Burrow will be back, KC likely spends on some resources for Mahomes. So yes, for me this one is much harder mostly because it's harder to find the positive. It will come, just not yet.

It's funny. So many wide right memes and jokes from colleagues. I'm just thinking, the kick didn't even matter. Literally a 0% chance the Chiefs don't get into FG range if he makes it. They were averaging almost 10 yards a play.

These guys are together. I also think they would struggle in the divisional round.

Burrow, Jefferson, Chase, Marshall, Edwards-Helaire. The top two WR are all pros, 3rd WR was a 2nd round pick. RB was a 1st round pick. QB is an all pro. It’s a better offense than most NFL teams have. He ran into the most talented offense in college football the last 20+ years. You can take from that what you wish. He was part of a bad talent, bad team with Carolina. Then he had Allen for half a season. He has done about what you would expect with talent he has been given. I don’t think he has done far better or far worse for that matter. I’m sure he wasn’t turning down jobs for being an OC before he joined the Bills. So largely unwanted prior to this stint with Buffalo. Safe and not overly inspiring. Disappointing we didn’t at least kick the tires a bit but not surprising.
