  1. The 2022 team was easily the best roster of the Josh Allen era. That team had an elite QB, pass rusher, WR, and Safeties. 2025 should have a much better OL that team, but I don’t see them being elite anywhere else other than QB.
  2. This didn’t pop up years after the fact. She reported it to the police immediately.
  3. So there’s exactly one team who should realistically expect to make the Super Bowl?
  4. It’s always the ones you most suspect.
  5. If Josh pulled an Andrew Luck tomorrow and stepped away from the game, I’d still vote for him to get in were I a voter. I don’t think he would get enough votes to get in, but it’s certainly possible.
  6. Was there ever a year under Kelly when the Bills were arguably the best team in the AFC but didn’t make the Super Bowl or at least the AFCCG?
  7. There’s really no reason to have a strong opinion on Coleman at this point. He looked like a nice player the first half of the season, then he stunk when he returned from injury. It’s impossible to say for certain what that means for the rest of his career in terms of overall success. There are a few things you can glean from his season, though. He’s clearly capable of making big plays, but unless he figures out how to create separation, he’s not going to be the guy you can count on when you need a play the way you could with Diggs or even Beasley. When you only get 4 targets a game and still have a catch rate of 50%, you’re much more of a complementary piece than a featured receiver.
  8. I’ve talked to a back surgeon in a social setting who said that he would never have back surgery. He said there are just too many ways that it can go horribly wrong for no apparent reason.
  9. Philly has a top 5 WR group. They’ve got a top 5 OL. They’ve got a top 5 RB. Hurts is a top 10, but likely not top 5, QB.
  10. The Eagles were the best team last year. It’s silly to even argue otherwise.
  11. So you’re putting your life’s savings on guys who are a combined 0-5 against Mahomes when the season is on the line? Josh is 7-6 in elimination games. Lamar is 3-5. Mahomes is 17-4, but you’re rolling with Lamar? Nobody thinks Lamar gives his team a better chance of winning the Super Bowl than Mahomes.
  12. So if you had to put your life savings on one QB to put together a game winning drive in a critical moment, you’re picking Lamar?
  13. So Mahomes isn’t as good because he doesn’t pad his stats during garbage time? He’s won 17 straight one-score games. When it matters most, he’s the best by a comfortable margin.
  14. Why is the Browns QB wearing a Chiefs/Mahomes uniform?
  15. Defaulting would likely be something along the lines of holding out in order to get an extension after year 3.
  16. Can we take a moment to appreciate what an absolute poop-show of a list of starting QBs that was? 2018 ushered in the era of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, (and to a lesser extent Mayfield).
  17. Morse, the Center, is #60. This ball was snapped on the right hash of the 26 yard line. Josh takes a full 5 step drop and then 3 false steps and actually drifts left into the pass rush before being hit as he threw. That’s Diggs running wide open right in front of Allen. We’re to conclude that Josh didn’t have a pocket and Dion Dawkins is 100% at fault for this play resulting in an incompletion. Who are you going to believe, Einstein or your lying eyes?
  18. So your position is that Allen couldn’t have thrown the quick crosser to a wide open Diggs because he needed to throw it deep to Shakir, but he couldn’t throw it deep to Shakir because he didn’t have the protection. Basically all the team needs to do is get a guy open short and a guy open deep and give Allen 5 seconds to throw, and the play will be successful. Buffalo should figure out how to do that and then just spam that play over and over.
  19. That’s ridiculous on its face. Josh knew the protection. To his right, he had two blockers protecting the LDE. To his left, he had Dawkins on an island against Chris Jones. If there’s going to be any pressure, it’s going to be from his left. Fortunately for him, he’s got 2 blockers against a non-premier pass rusher to his right, so he knows that he can move to his right in the extremely likely event that Dawkins doesn’t completely stone Chris Jones. It’s not like Dawkins got picked up and thrown into him the way Smoot manhandled Caliendo in the AFFCG. He got pushed back, but there was plenty of time and room for Josh to use the pocket. Hell, there was enough time that Diggs had already crossed from one side of the field all the way to the other. A QB, especially one as mobile as Josh, has to be able to avoid one rusher, particularly when that rusher is engaged with a blocker. The Defensive Tackles weren’t rushing, and the LDE was absolutely no threat. There was exactly one spot on the field that would have put Josh in harm’s way, and he nailed his feet to that spot. In the end, there were 2 open receivers and a large, clean pocket. The rest was up to Josh. He didn’t take the quick crosser to Diggs, and he didn’t slide out of Dawkins’s way to give himself a clean look at Shakir. That wasn’t Dion’s fault or Brady’s fault, or anyone else’s fault. The play was there to be had, and Josh missed it.
  20. Totally disagree. It was a late opening window, and Josh needed to either hit Diggs flashing wide open across the middle or slide into the pocket to buy another half second for Shakir to break into the opening in the back of the end zone. When you’ve got a huge pocket and 2 open WRs and don’t get the ball anywhere near either of them, that’s on the QB. Look again at how much room he has if he slides to his right. Look at how open Diggs was, and we know that Shakir broke open a split second later. If a QB needs all that AND for his LT to completely stone a HOF pass rusher, then there’s no chance of success. It was poor pocket awareness on Allen’s part. That is a play he simply has to make with the season on the line.
  21. Nobody is saying he should have slid the protection. They’re saying he should have slid right into the massive pocket. It was a 2 man rush with a double team on the right edge, two DTs playing contain, and then Dawkins blocking Chris Jones on the left edge. All you can ask of any LT matched up against Chris Jones is to lose slowly, and Dawkins did that. Josh had time and room to slide into the pocket, but he didn’t. He locked onto Shakir and stood directly in the way of where Jones was pushing Dawkins, ie. the worst possible place to be. Josh had a clean pocket and two open receivers. He doesn’t make many bad plays, but he did that time.
  22. Brady would have slid in the pocket.
