Just wanted to confirm you know nothing and are talking out yer ass. Thank you.

Could you tell us why since you've watched him so much this year?

The actual reading starts about 1:00 in

Bret Easton Ellis went to college in New England

Geez, why don't you just say Beetlejuice three times?

Did you know that when Ben's family emigrated here, their full name was originally Johnsonville?

Yeah, but it's an actual dachshund...

Go big or go at home?

Yeah, that's why I am seriously having doubts about whether that tweet is legit or not. If it is, whoever leaked that deserves a Josh Allen knee to the "stomach"

Dude. It just happened in a game this month that you were actively watching.

It's more an issue of whether a player is considered "defenseless", i.e. a WR in the process of making a catch, a QB in the pocket looking downfield, a guy getting tagged on a peel back block toward teh LOS on a pick return, etc. Ballcarriers with clear sightlines that have plenty of time to protect themselves are typically not going to get that call.

At which point it becomes subjective, not objective.

If Mahomes is running he is no longer a defenseless player and he is no longer afforded any extra protection like he would have in the pocket.

Do you really want the league to start calling a 15 yrd penalty every time there's helmet contact on a ballcarrier?

At that point it doesn't matter because he is in bounds and a runner, not a defenseless player.

He had surgery and is likely out for the season.

Thank gawd ball games don't go longer than 4 hours...

Mad respect for a man that sticks to his principles!

I don't disagree with that at all; the guy is turning it over like a hotel waffle machine. I just wonder if it will hurt slightly less this week than it might down the road.

They tend to get the ball out so fast that our pass rush might end up being irrelevant.

I think this really isn't far from the truth. I am convinced he beat the absolute hell out of himself over the first couple weeks playing like a wildman, and was essentially a walking bruise for the following month. I also wouldn't be remotely surprised if he concussed himself in the Ravens game in run support, possibly more than once, and didn't tell anybody.

I'm going to disagree with this. Allen has clearly worked on it and I think he's gotten very good it hitting those swings accurately and on time. He's holding 'backers with his eyes and waiting til the last second to commit and then hitting backs in stride with a perfect combination of velocity ( so the D can't recover) and touch (so Cook or Johnson have an easy catch) and accuracy (so they have the opportunity to get upfield fast and make hay). I don't know if there's anybody in the league throwing better to the flats than he is right now.
