Josh Allen AFC Offensive Player of the Week
Ralonzo replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Did you mean 4 series? -
Peckernose is quite touchy about the subject of the Bills. Man up and take the dress off, Nicky.

If you were my nephew you'd be getting socks for Christmas.

Troy is progressive and enlightened. He thinks women should be allowed to wear clothes! Aikman could be the absolute GOAT if he were to post "I don't know why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch" as his response.

Your comment complements the video nicely.

Yahoo QB Rankings after 5 Weeks, because why not
Ralonzo replied to Ralonzo's topic in The Stadium Wall
Since it's a Yahoo thread, here's Monday's blast: The Buffalo battle station is fully armed and operational BY JAY BUSBEE There's a strange, unconscious hold bias that sports fans have toward teams which are particularly good, or particularly bad. If you're of a certain age, there's a small part of you that will believe the Pittsburgh Steelers are the toughest team of all time, simply because they were exactly that for a period in the 1970s. The Dallas Cowboys exploited this strategy perfectly by putting together two mini-dynasties in the 1970s and 1990s, thus establishing themselves as a worldbeating team in the memories of two generations, the baby boomers and Gen X. Millennial football fans will be fearful of the New England Patriots for decades to come, long after Bill Belichick hangs up his hoodie. (Gen Z has the attention span of a hummingbird and the recall of a goldfish; the idea of "memory" isn't really on their radar.) Now, consider the Buffalo Bills. For most football fans over the age of 40, the Bills are synonymous with spectacular face-plants on the biggest of stages. Four straight Super Bowl losses — and then an utter meltdown with 13 seconds remaining in a more recent playoff game — will do that to your legacy. No one's going to believe you can close the deal until you actually close the deal. Time to let those old biases go. The Buffalo Bills are a damn good football team, more than capable of winning it all. We knew this coming into the season, and they proved it once again in the first 51 seconds of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. Before most fans had even found their seats, Josh Allen hit Gabe Davis for a cinematic 98-yard touchdown. The two connected again for a magnificent 62-yard, one-handed grab the next quarter. For about three quarters, Allen was on pace to beat the NFL record for passing yardage. (He ended with 424 yards and four touchdowns.) After five games, Buffalo ranks first in passing yards and total yards, and second only to Kansas City in points per game. The Bills lost a quirky one to Miami a couple weeks back, which doesn't help them in the divisional race but took that annoying "can they go undefeated?" trope off the table early. This is a team that's built to blow right past all assumptions. The question now is, can they capitalize on their promise? Yes, Allen was two years away from being born when Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and the rest of the Bills lost the last of those four Super Bowls. But Buffalo has more recent scar tissue, too, suffered last year by ending up on the losing side of one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. They'll hear about that plenty over the next week, as they're slated to face Kansas City again for the first time since that epic, where they lost when they gave Patrick Mahomes 13 whole seconds to work his mojo. Kansas City has ended Buffalo's last two seasons, and until Buffalo is able to get past Mahomes & Co., all these gaudy numbers won't mean anything. We're still a long way from the postseason, but Buffalo is working up some serious momentum. This might just be the year that the Bills at last become famous for something more than just ... you know. -

Yahoo QB Rankings after 5 Weeks, because why not

The book was plus arm, good decision maker, accurate, big-time production in a legit conference. Possibly a bit prickly personality-wise. -
It occurs to me I don't LAMP enough. SO, from the morning email blast: BY JAY HART Five weeks into the NFL season and quarterback play has been, well, all over the map. We've had good quarterbacks be good, good quarterbacks be bad and bad quarterbacks be good. We've had castoffs light it up, high-priced veterans stink it up and a quarterback controversy (not really, until Dak throws his next INT) emerge in Dallas. So what are we to do? Rank 'em, of course. (And then you email us and tell out how wrong we are. That's how it works). Let's have at it ... MVP candidates 1. Josh Allen: Only one thing left to bring to Buffalo. 2. Patrick Mahomes: Consistently amazing. 3. Jalen Hurts: So good, even Eagles fans like him. Elite-ish 4. Lamar Jackson: Playing his way into a monster payday. 5. Tua Tagovailoa: Most unfortunate injury in the league so far this year. 6. Justin Herbert: The Chargers will screw this up somehow. 7. Tom Brady: Playing through just a few distractions 8. Aaron Rodgers: It’s clear he misses Davante Adams … Really? 9. Geno Smith: Playing better than Russ. 10. Jared Goff: Playing better than Stafford. 11. Jimmy Garoppolo: Playing better than Trey. 12. Cooper Rush: Playing better than Dak. Underperforming 13. Kirk Cousins: He's been OK, but he does have the Vikings at 4-1. 14. Joe Burrow: He’ll right the ship in Cincy, right? 15. Kyler Murray: There may have been a reason for that study clause. 16. Matthew Stafford: Is he hurting, getting old, or just no time to throw? Good and bad 17. Trevor Lawrence: When he’s good, he’s good … but there’s too much bad. 18. Ryan Tannehill: Titans fans can’t wait for Malik Willis. 19. Derek Carr: … and other than last night, it’s clear Davante Adams misses Aaron Rodgers. 20. Russell Wilson: Is this what’s left of Russ? 21. Jacoby Brissett: Holding his own until Deshaun Watson returns. 22. Daniel Jones: Brian Daboll is making lemonade out of lemons. Kissing your cousin 23. Carson Wentz: Numbers aren’t terrible, just makes terrible decisions at the wrong times. 24. Davis Mills: Nope, not it in Houston. 25. Zach Wilson: Still a huge question mark. 26. Marcus Mariota: The only thing keeping Atlanta from going to Desmond Ridder is the Falcons’ tiny window of hope. 27. Jameis Winston: Same as he ever was. Bad 28. Matt Ryan: Got old real quick. 29. Mac Jones: What the hell happened? 30. Kenny Pickett: No clue yet, but gotta be better than Trubisky. Really Bad 31. Justin Fields: OK, he wasn’t gawd awful Sunday, but that’s a pretty low bar. 32. Baker Mayfield: Hurting his ankle may have saved him from being benched. Josh: You are correct, sir. Tua: Seems an ideal "Good & Bad" candidate this year. As in, good for one quarter and one nice throw against the Bills, and a bad headache ever since. Zach: Shouldn't that be "Kissing Your Mom"? Mac: We know.

No, just no. The Dolphins are the Tom Keating of the NFL, and that was before the karma of week 3 descended.
-
Cylons make full-field reads.
-
How come nobody mentions the non-calls on KC holds?
-
They can see the Raiders hold when they aren't, but the can't see the Chiefs hold when they are. This is a travesty.
-
Holding? On a field goal? On the defense? That replay is... uhhh... making it look even more corrupt than it sounds.
-
KC has the good drugs.
-
McDaniel the last few drives: "Jacobs has been completely unstoppable. Let's do something else."
-
Let's check the Chiefs forum to hear about how they're so hard done by.
-
Not only did they not call an enormous hold that allowed Kelce to score, they piled a PF on the Raiders on top of it. Whoever called "shut the game off now, the Chiefs are gonna get the next 50 calls" after the first half. Yeah.
-
4 make up calls and they're still not happy. They will never be happy.
-
What the hell did the ref just say there? Sounded like "Personal foul, we're not gonna call it, first down!"
-
That might set some sort of a record, throwing a flag 45 seconds after the end of the play.
-
And you don't convert 1st-and-25 checking it down.
-
Didn't you just know they'd call the first ticky-tack pick play against the Raiders though.

Deablo looks like John Shaft.
