So Allen finished wit ha perfect 158.3 passing rating. I don't follow that level of detail much, so is that a somewhat common thing league wide? Like typically on any given Sunday does one QB in the league have a perfect rating? Or is it once a month it might happen, twice a year?? How rare/common is it? OK so just answered my own question, decided to look it up, thank you Google!! Since 2010 there have been 17 "perfect" games, 2 by Brady and Lamar, Allen is the first one to occur since Brady in Dec 2020 Brady, Peyton and Big Ben have all had 3 lifetime. Couple names you'd be a bit surprised to see on the list as not considered a great QB, Geno Smith, Alex Smith, Mariota, and Cousins

May depend on what the team thought of Rapps play?

Yeah but owners most often own the team till the day they die, and Krafts kid is taking a bigger role every year so he'll likely be owning the team longer than BB is coaching.

OK but other than SF, the Bills are playing the same teams, plus Chargers and Bengals who by the time they meet, may have figured things out

Think it creates a bigger problem there as having Higgins you end up splitting passes thrown to more. For all the people wanting to upgrade from Davis to someone like a Hopkins could make that issue worse with Diggs.

Agree another option, could go that way. They seem to like Kingsley

If BB were 20 years younger , I could se it. But even if true, not likely he'd be around long enough to enjoy the good years Williams may provide. Could see Kraft wanting that, but if Kraft told BB that, think he's try to win even harder. As others have said can't see BB accepting that as to him passing Shula in wins is more important. Plus think overall Pats have too much talent to lose enough to get the #1 overall. There's been many other just as talented college QB's who were total flops in the NFL so I wouldn't count on anything yet for Williams.

Speaking from experience I tore mind almost 30 years ago, 6 months after Marino tore his and recalled him talking about it in a press conference how when it happened he turned around as thought some one kicked him in the back of his ankle. That was exactly how I felt so based on Marino's comments I told the people I was with, I think I just tore my Achilles and they all thought I was crazy. 2 hours later at the ER confirmed it. So yes would agree you likely know it right away. A simple test is laying down with legs out and doctor places his hand against your foot and tell you to push or pull. When it's torn you can't.

Or Poona Ford?? They've been keeping him active the past two Sundays over Ford so could see it going that way too.

I started following the Bills in the mid 80's around the start of the Kelly era. Based on that time frame, I'd put this game in the top 5 along with Raiders AFC Championship game, the Houston comeback, and the near perfect NE game from 2 years ago.

Showing only 3 sacks against Miami, didn't Floyd have one earlier too?

I did see him walk back onto the field in uniform so seemed to be OK

Why The only bizarre part is that the Bills drafted a 6th rounder from a small school and can play as well as he has been. If Benford wasn't on the team Elam would be active and good chance starting over Jackson.

It worked for me!

Just saw this on Spotrec, I'm guessing the reaction will be no way he's worth these numbers. But I'll bet Spotrac is closer to where he ends up than posters here are. He's somewhat below the averages in most categories but his projected salary is also a little lower.

You can't afford this or you're getting someone not much better than what they have. I'm sure they tried to sign Hopkins, but the money was too high. So now you're down to mid tier guys. WR is probably one of the tougher positions for a player to come in and contribute right away as there's a learning curve on two sides, both for the QB to learn the WR and the WR to learn the QB. Add to that, believe I've read the Bills playbook is more involved than many teams. Even if they were to sign/trade for a player, that guy is going to have to jump over mid-season Shakir, Sherfield, and even Harty Miami has two great WR's but one is still on a rookie contract who was drafted #6 overall. The Bills actually kind of did that this year with Kincaid. There's a post about 2 or 3 above yours from Billsvet, while I don't totally agree with everything he said, the one statement is true here for the WR postion: Beane needs to replace some of these home-grown types that can be improved on with 1st contract players who aren't impacting their cap. That happens next year, but I'm not sure when you put Diggs, plus a very likely improved Kincaid, then add Knox and Cook out of backfield, the #2 WR will ever put up big stats in this offense.

If you look at the map, every team that has a one o'clock game chooses to show the late single game whenever possible. Philly, Tampa, New Orleans, Minn, Cinci, Nashville, and Indy are all showing the late single4:05 start time game. DC is going with the early game only because it's Baltimore. This happens every week in the "flagship" market as they call it. Next week CBS will have the doubleheader game, so teams/cities hosting the 1:00 game on CBS will elect to show the late 4:05 FOX game too. Panthers are playing early on Fox so that game will be one, but likely Indy, New Orleans, Tenn and NE will show the late Fox game. Last week Buffalo elected to show the late Fox game. This has been going on for a few years now.

If Brown is our biggest problem start packing for the SB!

Can't believe the Bears Broncoes game is being broadcast to such a large region. What did the people in states like New Mexico, Utah, Iowa, the Dakotas do to make someone mad? Would have thought they'd have shown Bills Fish game in more of those places.

In fairness each one was drafted by a different GM. Douglas only drafted Wilson and if you're going to start firing GM's for drafting bad QB's, there will be no one left to hire. Drafting QB's in any round results in more failures than successes. The 2018 was supposed to have been one of the best QB classes of all times, yet today believe only Allen and Jackson are still with the team the drafted him.

Can see the logic in keeping Wilson as the backup. There's not 32 legit starting QB's in the league, now Joe Willie wants a better backup! Can also see how the Jets were hoping that Wilson could learn from Rodgers and maybe could become an adequate QB so considering how few good backups are around, can't really fault the Jets for sticking with him. Curious too so he doesn't think it's even worth waiting a year for Rodgers to come back and lead them tot he SB in 2024??

Yeah, but at least BB won multiple SB's. Payton won one and had some losing seasons. Can argue Bountygate set them back multiple years, but who let that. Don't think there was as many top level teams in NFC over his years on top so that helped him some.

Think Bernard may have a good shot a defensive player of the week. Two sacks, Int and fumble recovery will be tough to top.

Think he's a head of both Ford and Kinsley in the rotation, maybe even Lawson, So likely will stay active, just not get as many snaps

But Staley was the greatest thing since sliced bread when he was hired!
