    I'm curious as to what it is that people don't like about Kyle Allen?

     

    He's started 16 NFL games, approximately one full season.

    In that "season" he's thrown for about 4,000 yards with a completion percentage over 62%.

    He's thrown 26 TDs to 21 INTs (with a small handful of rushing TDs)

    That puts his career QB rating at 82.2, which is not bad and even seems fairly competent when you consider his starts have come for some very bad football teams. 

     

    Could the Bills really get a lot better there and is it worth committing limited resources to try?

     

     

    For real this is an answer in search of a question, KA isn't going to be anyone's franchise QB but out of the ones available to be JA's backup you can do a HECK of a lot worse than Kyle Allen.

    I can’t fault Torrence, or any rookie, for hitting a wall. The professional season is a marathon. Much longer than what these young men are used to enduring in college. 

     

    It's especially brutal if you're a rookie coming into a good team and expected to be there for the long haul into the postseason.

    We should have made the switch weeks ago. I call it the "Peterman Clause". McD takes so damn long to identify underperforming players.  They took forever to deactivate Von and hopefully they swap out Murray/Sherfield for Lenny/ Shorter. 

     

    I could see Lenny getting snaps during the postseason in lieu of Murray, don't see them bringing Shorter and giving him meaningful snaps.

    I don’t think that’s going to be possible vs this pats d.  I’d be ok trying to establish the run the first drive or 2…..but I think our success will come from the pass this game.  Building a lead early vs NE will be big.  Forcing them to pass so our DL can pin their ears back and make zappe uncomfortable.  


    has Bailey Zappe had a game against a McD defense? He tends to eat rookie/inexperienced QBs for breakfast.

    I agree.  That’s why I’m saying 17 has to ball out the next two weeks….and then he’ll be a real contender.  

     

    I think Trent Williams is the true MVP of this season.  I don’t think Tua should even be in the running based on Tyreek being the only reason Tua is having a great season.  That said, I wouldn’t mind him winning to hurt their cap sitch as you mentioned.  
     

    trent

    tyreek

    cmc

    allen

    lamar

     

    thats how I’d rank then this season.  
     

    lamar is on the better team, Josh is more valuable to his team.  
     

    yet the mvp isn’t about being the most valuable.  I don’t really know what it’s about tbh

     

    Agree on Trent Williams being a legit MVP candidate. When he's out that offense looks VERY different, and not in a good way.

    Agreed, but then the media would have to admit ***ALL*** QB's "need help."

     

    But the Chiefs have a great defense, a similarly unimpressive WR corps, a HOF TE, and still have Andy Reid calling plays. So what happened? Am I supposed to believe the dropoff from Juju Smith-Schuster to Rashee Rice is SO massive that they go from Super Bowl winners to this?

     

    Their RBs are still Isiah Pacheco & Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and the rest of their WR corps is still mostly the same as last year (Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, etc.).

     

    The biggest difference this season is Eric Bieniemy leaving (though he didn't call plays), and more turnovers. Chiefs had 23 turnovers in 17 games last year, but are already at 26 through 15 games this year. Mahomes simply isn't playing as well as normal, and the rest of the offense isn't helping either.

     

    I think it's a combination of they miss Bieniemy, their OL is playing worse, the installed plays just aren't 'as good' (yeah Andy Reid calls the plays, but an offensive staff installs the gameplan and designs the plays and that seems to have taken a few steps back this year), the lack of a solid WR that Mahomes can depend on (was Juju last year) and Father Time catching up to Kielce finally. All of that together and you can see that Mahomes just isn't trusting everything in front of him. The entire offense just seems to be playing with a lack of focus and discipline that maybe Bieniemy brought because he is (according to rumors) kind of a hard ass.

    They wasted a year and a half on him. He had no plan B against a lot of teams. Little or no run game, and very little under-center PA. He was turning Josh Allen into Sam Darnold. 

     

    On the surface watching the Dorsey offense it just didn't seem to have any continuity. There was little processing of in game tendencies by the other team to set up other plays, formations or options. Each play seemed to exist in a vacuum of well "if the defense presents this, this play should beat that coverage" which to an extent is true, but it completely ignores tendencies and what the other team is trying to do. This is what I so far took away from watching Brady call the game, he seemed to understand that the Jets were prone to doing X if formation Y was presented, and taking that into considering when calling future plays.

    That was a great block by the rookie


    It was, although for a second I was worried it was gonna get called back for a block in the back.

    Going with the 2 coordinator role? I know it's happened before....can't remember anytime it's ended well. 

     

    Ah yes, the ol' Judge/Patricia combo. I mean at least for the Steelers the two coaches are offensive position coaches and not a ST coach and a former DC.

    I suck with salary cap and contract stuff so I have no idea what he might have been worth on the open market when the contract was signed.

    Judging by the other extensions/re-signings that Bean has done, there's no real pattern of him wildly overpaying so I'd guess his contract was pretty close to what his market value would have been at the time.


    Knox is a good player, a very credible red zone threat and a decent blocker in an offense where he was never obviously the first read. His contract is honestly fine. 
     

    Think people just have really unrealistic expectations because they see players like Kelce, Kittle where they are a focal point of the offense.
