Chad could probably outrun Lamar for that free beer.

As I recall it was watching Allen work at the Senior Bowl with upper-level college talent, taking coaching and applying it immediately and with results, that convinced McBeane. Edit: "We're seeing Josh Allen become the player we all thought he was"

Burleson is going to be the last man standing in the "Josh isn't in the conversation" clique. This guy is just being obstinate for reasons I am unaware. First off, he starts with a moronic argument. Allen has to do everything better than everyone else just to be "in the conversation for MVP"? Does any one of those guys that are the "standards" do everything better than all of the other guys? Second go watch some game tape with those big goofy glasses on. Even just the Rams game: Go watch that bucket-ball to Diggs on the left side stutter route, or the right sideline vertical to Beasley. Were those as accurate as Wilson? Go watch the TD to Diggs with Donald bearing down, or the Gabe Davis crosser after pulling it down and resetting. Were those as poised as Rodgers? Go watch that Lee Smith TD with the sub-Marino recognition-to-ball-out time, or the 3rd and 25 to Diggs. Were those a delivery like Mahomes?

When Josh Allen punches his memory foam pillow, it forgets.

More than the "I want it more than anything," Allen's defining quote is "I need to get better at ________" because whatever it is that's filling in that blank is the thing that's going to get better, and soon.

It sounds awesome but it's really a cherry-picked stat. You credit him for touchdowns made running and throwing, but only the turnovers made throwing. Still, 3 (really 2) picks is a single game's worth for many QB's, even highly regarded ones. For those on the "clean up the fumbles" train, that's the other side of the extend-plays-and-truck-LBs coin, so you're gonna have an elevated level compared to QB's who can't/don't/won't. This is what the guy is and what he does. God help us down the road when he's a "wily ring veteran" and knows all the little tricks.

Pretty damn good buffalo wings

If Pegula does that the league will probably forfeit the game TO the Raiders. And then award the Pats****** a comp pick.

Baker? You don't like Dak much I take it. Kyler too high, borderline top-10.

Murray will probably do well enough long-term, but he got rekt by Patrician scheme yesterday. He was throwing the ball right to defenders, like he was seeing ghosts.

Chris Simms had a good take about the Rams' success at rushing was 100% scheme, and targeting the Bills' base 4-2-5 nickel - specifically isolating Taron Johnson. Which is why he led the team in tackles. Basically, hat-on-hat for the front-6 and scheme Johnson into first, making a decision as to run or pass, and second, have him (at best) as the guy who should be in the hole 1-v-1 on the back. Buffalo could use a top level EDGE on defense but a positionless, Isaiah Simmons/Kyle Dugger type defender in a 4-2-4 would make the Bills defense incredible, because that would counter this scheme.

This is a reasonable take, but I think the expectations (as of a month ago) of maxing out eventually - if development goes perfectly - of maybe a 4000 yds/30 TD season someday, has to be reset.

I want to give this post an award of some sort.

Well, the first thing I do here is consider what are opposing D's going to scheme to stop him. Set edges and just contain him in the pocket? Hahaha no, give him time to throw and he find the open guy. Pressure up the middle and force scrambles and off-platform throws? Hell no, his numbers are actually better there. Zone? No, too much velocity on the throws. DBs can't get there in time. Man? No, throws with touch and anticipation. Take away underneath? No, someone who throws 80 yards and has Diggs and Brown takes the top off. Play soft and deep? No, they'll just dink down the field with little digs and outs. I dunno man. #17 is The Problem, alright. Just not for the Bills.

"I was supposed to cover that guy, wasn't I"

Doing it with the arms and the legs? This Mahomes kid looks like a poor man's Josh Allen

Jared Allen to Tyler Kroft?

See what happens when a kicker tries to make in-game corrections after sneaking a couple just inside the right upright?

Wonder if any consideration will be given to non-STH who had purchased game tickets which were forcibly refunded.

Cringeworthy? To me cringeworthy is throwing it right to a defender. Like Darnold x2, Kyler Murray x3 yesterday. Like Matt Ryan xClutch or Mitch Trubisky xCareer. Hell, even Dak Prescott. Which Allen throws were you referencing, or is it some lesser standard being applied?

Ha ha! I see what they did there

what Allen has that the others didn’t is the biggest arm on an omnidirectional tank with shocking speed and elusiveness and apparently a mind that processes as fast as some top tier guys and a burning desire to win and a magnetic personality to be a leader of men. Most QBs are are lacking in at least a few of these traits, even the HoF guys. He really is what the draft pubs said about being a Frankenquarterback that looks like some lab creation like the Super Soldier Project, it’s like nothing I can recall from any era.

“Awwwww, poor ewe”

Really would have liked to see DK Lettcalf’s halfass cost the Seahawks, but then I appreciate a nice schadenfreude
