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

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.

I made a thread on this topic yesterday but it seems to be gone. Anyway, absolutely ridiculous take by whatever NFL executive uttered such stupid words. If anything, Allen is underrated. He often does not get the credit he deserves.

And $22M in dead cup. And if he gets injured this year - say tears an ACL - they’re on the hook for 2025 too.

This tells me that you have not been in the company of professional coaches and executives. It is a common misconception and one that extends to the c-suite. People often assume: “X person made it to Y level, they must be brilliant”. That is often NOT the case. Much of it is luck, mixed with opportunity, mixed with timing, mixed with attitude, mixed with who you know, mixed with several other factors as well.

Where did you see that the source is secondary market? I was curious what the source of the data was.

What this shows is that the Bills are offering a lower priced ticket, but more than making up for it with extremely high parking/concession prices.

Takes a bit of a bite out of the “Bills have been too cheap for too long” crowd.

Don’t tell Big Turk, but NFL coaches, scouts and execs don’t consider Cook elite either.

I remember when we could just walk into training camp, no ticket required 🫤

this happens often! The idea of doing nothing sounds appealing when you’re working 50 hours per week. But it quickly becomes unappealing when the stark reality of 365 days per year of nothing smacks you in the face

We were definitely overrated in 2022.

Only $40M of that $100M was left to be paid and they reached a settlement on that.

Burrow is overrated. That has always been my hill.

Agreed. The media will media. It’s more frustrating that our own fan base doesn’t see it.

What the flip? - Allen has 19 game winning drives in 94 career games. - Mahomes has 16 game winning drives in 96 career games Allen has more game winning drives and throws than Mahomes, despite playing less games. Some of you say Allen gets too much respect. I say he doesn’t get enough.

But the problem is this: stating that someone has big lips is not inherently racist. You can certainly interpret it that way, but it remains an ambiguous statement. You might believe he is excusing the statement by saying that, to him, big lips means “liar.” However, this still does not make it inherently racist. The problem is the ambiguity here. An ambiguous statement needs interpretation to fit a particular classification. Others can interpret it differently. This ambiguity is why the Raiders did not immediately fire him. An inherently racist statement, without ambiguity, would be a racial slur, like the N-word, or stereotyping an ethnic group, such as saying “X people are cheap” or one of many other examples - but what Gruden said is not one of them. We also need to consider the overall context when determining whether something was said with racial intent. For instance, if there were more emails with ambiguous statements like the one mentioned, it would be easier to conclude that the person is making racist comments. This is because we do not generally assume someone would make repeated racially ambiguous comments without underlying intent. However, in this case, among 650,000 emails, there was only one email with an ambiguously racial statemnt? So we must ask ourselves - did Gruden wake up one day and decide “today is the day i’m going to make a racial comment in this email - but it won’t be anything clearly racist, like the homophobic emails I send often that I am direct with - this one i’ll make nice and ambiguous”. Or did he really mean that Smith is a liar? That is left up to you to decide.
