I love Josh but Dan Marino played in a Super Bowl. If he doesn't win one, I think a much better comp is Phillip Rivers.

Go back and watch the replay. Immediately after the snap the entire right side of the line is beat and Allen realizes he has to make the throw NOW. This sped up his process and he was never able to get his feet set for the throw. I don't care if this is a 10 yard pass or a 30 yard pass. He's a right handed quarterback having to throw to the left off of a moving platform (his base). Don't set your feet and turn your hips correctly and that is never going to be an easy pass. He just missed it. People are way over thinking this.

I'm saying he intended the pass for an open Shakiir but it was a bad throw. He's starting to roll to his left and never gets his feet set or his hips turned correctly. That is why his throw was about 2 or 3 feet wide of the mark. It was a bad throw. It was NOT a throw away or whatever it is that you are implying.

Forfeiting the play would be like throwing the ball away on 4th and goal. He literally made the right read and the right decision, he just rushed the throw and didn't get his feet set/hip turned properly and the throw went wide of the mark. It happens. It sucks, and yes, that's 100% on Allen, but to call it 'forfeiting' is a bit absurd.

I didn't say anything about relying on the announcers to evaluate a game is a great idea. I simply made a point that generally speaking, if there is a trend happening in a full game of live action football, such as a QB missing wide receivers 'all over the field', that's something that normally is talked about during the game. It wasn't. And they actually did, on the replay, discuss Hawes being open short underneath and Josh passing him up, just FYI. I'm just saying, people who are now acting like Josh is a bigger problem than the lack of talent we have at the WR spot are crazy. Sure he misses some receivers and sure he passes up on sure things a few times a game to go hunting. Sometimes it works and he's the hero . Sometimes it doesn't and he's absolutely culpable in playing a part in losing the game.

besides Allen passing up on open receivers short to look for open guys deeper on 2 or 3 plays, what are all the plays where Allen had open receivers 'all over'?? It's funny that the announcers, who are up in the booth with a birds eye view of the entire field and can see every play develop, didn't discuss Allen having receivers running open all over the field. They actually made mention on several occasions that Allen had no where to go with the ball because everyone was covered...

Exactly. He really is so dumb sometimes. Buffalo was most definitely in the game with a chance to win on the last play despite Josh Allen.

Again, the receiving group for the Patriots is not even in the same realm of talent as the receiving group for the Bengals. I would hope even the most die hard Patriot fans could at least remove the rose colored glasses for something obvious like this. I don't mean any disrespect either. I would hope you would agree both QB's have done more with less this year. Neither plays with a top 10 or even a top 20 group of pass catchers... The game this weekend is going to be a challenge for both teams but I'm optimistic Buffalo comes out on top this time. Benford is playing much better now than he was back in week 5. Hairston didn't even play week 5 and is back now and fully healthy. The abomination at safety that was Taylor Rapp is no longer on the field and MLB Bernard, who looked lost that game and most of this season, has been replaced by Shaq Thompson who has raised the level of defensive play across the board. Also, without your best run stuffer on the D. Line, Cook should have a lot more opportunities for big gains up the middle. There is a reason why Bills fans are confident (not cocky) going into this game and these are just a few. Go Bills!! Hoping for a good, competitive game. No new injuries for either team. And the refs to not decide this game either way. Good luck Sunday. Go Bills!!

Same. But he isn't throwing the ball to a trio consisting of Chase, Higgins, and Gesiski. Diggs, Boutte, and Hollins are, collectively, an above average trio of receiving weapons but they are no where in the realm of the Bengals receivers listed above. IF Buffalo took Diggs for granted in the first match up, I'm pretty hopeful they won't make the same mistake this Sunday. Go Bills!!

Of course they said that. That was the current narrative in the NFL at the time and the bills had won the division 5 years in a row. That said, again, it was obvious to anyone who closely watched the games that Buffalo was a very flawed team. Not sure the point you are trying to make but I'll leave you with this. You can throw the records out the window for Sunday. Both teams are evenly matched and this is one game I wouldn't bet on regardless of the odds. Go Bills!!

Unstoppable force? It took a last minute miracle push to beat the Ravens. The Jets are one of the if not THE WORST team in football. The Dolphins tied the game with 12 minutes to go in the 4th quarter and the Saints scored to make it 19-21 with 8:53 left in the 4th. I'm not sure what 'unstoppable force' you were talking about but it was clear to anyone who paid half attention to the 1st four games of the season that Buffalo was (and still is) a very flawed team. That said, I think both teams are pretty much evenly matched and I expect a dog fight on Sunday. Go Bills!!

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Buffalo can't have the same record as New England and win the division. They need to win out and have the Patriots drop 3 games.

Everyone.... quit crying like weak little babies. This Sunday we rise to the challenge!! We fight!! We WIN!!!!!!!

Someone please remind me, what injury is Palmer dealing with again?

correct. A bunch of them occurred late in the Baltimore comeback game and most of them are James Cooks run of 10 or more yards.
