Ahh. Allen averaged 10 per game. Zach averaged 8 per game.

Allen averages 2.9 throws of 20+ yards per game last season. Wilson averaged 2.5 throws of 20+ yards per game last season.

Zach is a better player than he gets credit for (watch how people react to this post). I wrote earlier in the offseason that i’d take Zach Wilson as Allen’s backup right now, and I stand by it. He has athleticism. He has arm talent. And he was surrounded by absolute trash in NJ. Does he have some issues? Sure does. But some of them can be fixed. And if we fix them, he becomes a perfect Allen backup with that athleticism and arm talent. Tell me this doesn’t remind me you of 2018 Josh Allen:

I find it hard, perhaps even distasteful, to consider any logic that at its core involves Josh Allen, or his leadership, to be any part of a problem or contributor factor to this teams lack of ability to win the big game. Our defense was decimated by injuries, Dion Dawkins was pushed into Allen’s lap by Chris Jones, our kicker missed a short for the NFL field goal, and the highly paid wide receiver dropped a long pass. Allen led an offense that accumulated more yards than the opponent, 6 more first downs than the opponent, and dominated time of possession by nearly 15 minutes. In another year, the defense allowed the Chiefs to score in 13 seconds. In yet another year, two pass rushers collided together, ruining a clear sack, allowing Deshaun Watson to throw the first down dagger. if Terry wants to see Josh Allen display his leadership, he should look no further than the amount of punishment and injuries he has played through for his teammates. Allen has played through head shots (which I believe were concussions), bruises he acquired from being out defacto RB, and very painful/limiting UCL injuries. He has repeatedly stood up for his teammates as well. For example, he had Diggs back, even when Diggs ran out of the stadium after playoff losses rather than face reporters questions. He does not have to be Tom Brady, yelling at everyone. He is Josh Allen. edit: I am tired of defending Josh Allen, because he shouldn’t need defending. If anyone should be above reproach, it’s him.

From 6 to Midnight. Goodness gracious.

I do not believe you are being honest. I believe you noticed that I wrote training-camp instead of mini-camp and thus saw an opportunity to correct me and you seized it. You then decided to double down and quibble over the term “blow up”, implying that you felt it was less of a blow up, and more of a … actually i’m not even sure what you wanted to label a situation where a high profile player was either kicked out of mini-camp for a day or told to leave after a heated conversation with the head coach that was serious enough to make the head coach publicly announce to reporters that he is very worried. When your silly actions were pointed out to you, your ego kicked into overdrive and you were quick to point out that you often ignore me, which had nothing to do with what we are talking about, but was a way for you to get (what you perceive) a dig in. I had you pegged, and how this conversation would go, from the moment you first responded. It was fun watching it play out. Human psychology is very predictable. You may have the last word.

What a silly game you’re playing. Diggs is seen on the sideline with his arms in the air yelling at Josh Allen at the end of a playoff game > He leaves the stadium before the coaches and other teammates even get into the locker room > Nexr time we see him, he is in a meeting with Head Coach > this meeting becomes heated enough that he left or was told to leave a mandatory team camp > Head Coach publicly tells reporters that he is “very worried” > Diggs agent said “there are things being worked out” If you want to downplay it and label it as something other than a blow up, feel free. I choose to live with my head out of the sand.

Belichick - if he is open and forthright in the book.

Love this idea.

Apologies - mini-camp blow up.

Anyone arguing the opposite after the training camp blow-up last year was just being obstinate.

Milano looking healthy.

… Tom Brady won yet another Super Bowl. Yep. As was my other example I posted. PS: Perfect answer by Beane regarding the “underrated” comment from the executive:

You can not list a single example where a great purposefully passed up a Touchdown with a minute and change to go in a playoff game, for an underneath crosser pass. Not a single one. If the defense allows the Chiefs to drive 80 yards in less than 90 seconds for a game-winning touchdown, then you CORRECTLY blame the defense. It would 100% be a defensive failure. In what universe would the defense not be to blame in that scenario? None. Buchanan appears to have a short memory. He must have already forgotten Brady scoring a TD on 2nd down with 2 minutes to go in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks. or against the Chiefs in the playoffs, when Brady and the Patriots scored on first down and goal, and under a minute left, instead of bleeding the clock. hOw dArE hE nOt BlEeD tHe ClOcK

lol exactly

Horse penis. That was the right read by Josh and i’ll defend this hill forever. Allen had Shakir, wide open, in the endzone, for the go-head score. You take that EVERY TIME. If Allen isn’t hit by Chris Jones, it’s a Touchdown. Those who wanted him to hit Diggs underneath and then bleed the clock and then score are living in a fantasy land where bad snaps, fumbles, tipped passes, etc don’t happen. For example: What if Allen hits Diggs instead of Shakir and then on the next play we fumble the ball to KC. Was foregoing the TD still the right call? How about if Allen hits Diggs and then two plays later the ball is tipped at the line and KC intercepts it. Was it still smart to ignore the open guy in the endzone? Allen made the right read. He went for the jugular with a minute and change remaining, and with a guy wide open in the endzone and I hope he continue to make that same read every freaking time.

This is one of many reasons why I consider Allen and Mahomes as equals. Mahomes plays in an offense that is light years ahead of Allen's in terms of coaching and design. When your average TD is throwing the ball about 10 feet ... then you're in a QB friendly offense.

I think the folks you are writing to are upset by articles such as this: https://itep.org/amazon-avoids-more-than-5-billion-in-corporate-income-taxes-reports-6-percent-tax-rate-on-35-billion-of-us-income/

Yep (in the air).

I'll have to look it up again when I have more time, but I recall reading that Mahomes had more than a dozen TD's while throwing the ball less than 3 yards last season. That sounds like shovel-type passes to me. Allen had something like 3 or 4 of the same type. Edit: And Mahomes average TD pass was 3.9 yards per pass in the air last season.

Not OP's fault, but just seeing the thread title every-day pisses me off.
