I do too. But to me, it’s #1 or bust. I want that bye week. #2 to #7 is practically all the same.

I didn’t say he’s incapable, I said he’s not as elite in the cold. Most QB’s are not as elite in the cold. In today’s modern day spread offenses, it is advantageous for the defense to get cold/bad weather. Those are the facts.

I know because I have eyeballs. But even if I didn’t, the numbers would tell you as well. Here are Allen’s numbers by month (over his career). September to November: 64%, 93 QB rating, 7.4 ypa December: 58%, 89 QB rating, 6.9 ypa Last year, in 81 degree (not my number, that’s what the splits give us) or higher weather, Allen was 70% for 7 TD’s, 0 INT and a 132 QB rating. In under 40 degree weather, he was 62% for 5 TD’s, 2 INT, and a 94 QB rating. His play is not at as high of a level in the colder months as it is in the warmer months. .

Historic results have absolutely ZERO to do with the current team. What Jim Kelly and Marv Levy did in 1991 has nothing to do with what this team does in 2021. The offense we have right now is not conducive to the snow.

Which may be a negative as the rest of my pulse explains.

with every passing week, I get more and more upset that Beane did not make a move before the deadline to acquire offensive line talent.

It’s really not though. A GM’s job is to evaluate players and determine who will be good/better/best. That’s literally what they’re paid millions of dollars to do. Is it possible to never fail? Of course not. But it shouldn’t be tiresome to expect someone to do their job well.

The difference between a wild card and a division winner is 1 home game. And as many dome proponents point out, our offense isn’t exactly built to play in snow. So i’m not sure losing the home game would even matter (as much as I as a fan would want to be there). To me, it’s #1 seed or bust. #2-#7 is all the same.

Some would say that’s a great reason to question the Basham pick. This is how forums work. People pile on, so instead of having a conversation you have 10 straight posts of people criticizing the same exact thing. But if you had said something positive, like he is in great shape and was fast, you’d be getting likes and positive reactions. Aside from his weight, he really wasn’t a force at all. He played a little over 30% of the snaps and had 1 tackle (for a loss). Rarely saw him around the ball. I think there is a reason why he has been inactive most weeks.

I must be going to the wrong Indian restaurants.

This feels shortsighted to me. I’d rather the Pats beat the Titans. The Bills control their own destiny with two games remaining against the Patriots. Win those games and the Patriots have 6 losses (minimum). I don’t see the Bills losing 3 of their 5 non-Pat games remaining. Which is what it would take for the Patriots to win the division if we beat them both times.

I’m hoping they beat the Titans for us.

I really dislike any penalty (for any team) that has nothing to do with the outcome of a play. Dawkins tackling that guy mattered 0 to the play outcome.

Forget the forum font, I just wish they would put a little spacing between the “edited by” message and the last line of the users post. One line of CSS would fix it. Happy Birthday Mrs SDS.

The looked at the possibilities of what would happen if they let the Rams leave St. louis. Yet they’re still getting their hiney kicked in court.

Go Dolphins. 🤢🤮

I agree, but there have been opportunities that they flat out missed.

Position groups. If we are down to debating semantics then I suppose this conversation has run it’s course. .

I think i’d rather pay the guys who are guaranteed to be good because they already have been, on the most important position (outside of QB) in the NFL. And then draft players at less important positions.

Ok… Thats certainly an option but draft picks are not guaranteed to be good. You could (in theory) spend numerous picks on the line and then watch them fail as Allen runs away from pass rushers.

Ok… What way would you go about building it?

You can’t be serious. You seem to be flip-flopping timeframes a bit. Are we talking about who he is now, or are we talking about who he was when the Bills let him walk? When the Bills let him walk, he was 7th among all Guards in pass blocking. Right now, of course his pass blocking is not as good as his run blocking. His run blocking is the best of all players. His pass blocking couldn’t possibly be better. This year, through 9 games, he has allowed 1 sack. I agree that he is a better run blocker, but it would be disingenuous to say that he is a bad pass blocker. .

7th among all NFL G’s in pass blocking in 2018. With the Bills.

As much as I’d like to trust HokieSports.com - lol. Here are more stats, this time including his regular season stint with the Bills:

He was flashing that here. Thus the tweet I included in the post that you quoted. .
