Great thread

Peterman is so bad, you could substitute the TD:INT ratio with FirstDown:INT ratio and his rating would still come out 0.0

It's not all on Allen. Three good RB's--pound the ball. Use PA, use rollouts. Occasionally, let Allen's great arm stretch the field, take some chances. I personally won't mind a Bills loss if it's competitive. I just want to see this team actually play the game of football, unlike last Sunday.

Nice post. I think your wife has a good eye. One thought I had while reading: Josh Allen and Jack Eichel should have lunch together. I think they would find a lot of common ground to talk about. JA: "Why did they bring me here? JE: "I know, right?!"

Zay Jones caught three passes (and kept his pants on).

I feel bad for him too. If this were some little kids’ rec league, I’d agree with you—but this is actually regular season NFL stuff now. Other (i.e., “good”) teams don’t play these games with crappy players. They say thank you for giving it a shot—good luck (goodbye).

More like 2/98.

It’s true. He’s been incredibly fortunate to get the opportunities that have fallen in his lap to this point. And he’s botched them horribly. I hope he doesn’t get any more.

I agree. This team could look to Sandra Bullock for a lesson in toughness.

Fitz: 17-23, 335 yards, 3 TD

Peterman’s qb rating just dropped to 0.0.

Oh, dear

That’s why you do it on 2nd down. Element of surprise.

Great news: that incomplete pass on the failed 2 point conversion won’t count against AJ’s game stats.

Trade AJ and next year’s first rounder for Tyler Bray

Wow, I didn’t know AJ was getting that much. ?

I feel bad for Ray Ray. The guy is trying to make his case for the 53 and just not getting a chance.

Oh, dear

?

If there is something about NP that scares an NFL DC, anything at all that NP does better than JA, I’ll need someone to explain it to me. So then, there’s the argument that JA is likely to be rattled & exposed due to lack of experience. But I’d say NP has something to prove in this area as well. No advantage. You’re left with this idea that JA could get hurt behind this weak O line and that would stunt his development. That argument doesn’t hold water, especially as the talent discrepancy becomes more obvious. That’s a risk that is always going to be there and part of the game. Gotta play the kid. Better arm, better feet and better vision/poise.

Yes. Colbert and Kimmel especially are really good. I don't watch that often because I have to get up early, but when I do they make me laugh.

I think the new Sacha Baron Cohen project on Showtime, "Who Is America?" is pretty great.

Not even a little. You’re right about the national pride. The WC is still a huge deal to top players and millions of fans around the world. To me, this was a great tournament. I enjoyed it very much. Great performances and surprising results.

France vs. Belgium tomorrow at 2 pm ET. Probably the two best teams at this point. Promises to be a very good game.
