Allen cannot be allowed to take that kind of punishment?

I can; it's easier for a QB to develop when there's no pressure on him. When your team is already down 40+ points and there's only a half left to play when you take the field there is no pressure on you.

Part of the problem is that the wide receivers and tight ends just aren't hungry enough; the training staff should starve them and only give them a portion of food in exchange for a caught ball.

Exactly. Trick them into playing their backups in the second half and chain the lockerroom door shut so that their starters can't get back onto the field when the Bills start playing like an NFL team.

Relax; this is all just the Bills' ploy to lull the Ravens into a false sense of confidence.

Based on what he did to Tre'Davious White, I'm guessing he's going to work for the WWE.

Draft defensive players in the high rounds and run an option offense next season with two good running QB/RBs drafted in the lower rounds. Daboll said you have to be able to run even when they expect you to so the Bills offense can just do that 80% of the time and having two QBs in the backfield all of the time should keep opposing defenses guessing. Hold them to a low score and keep hammering the rock at them until they can't tackle anymore.

Thank you! Not relevant, but funny.

Rex agrees with you: it's all about the bas[e].

Here's to hoping that trend continues!

The league didn't strip them of their Superbowl trophy, though. Tonya Harding was stripped of her national championship medal.

Schwartz's D was great against all of the NFC North teams. Minnesota is an NFC North team, New England is not. Yeah, the Patriots videotaped all of the Rams' practices, decoded their visual defensive calls (because the QB of the offense got a radio but the QB of the defense didn't back then) and then used that knowledge to change the offensive play invisibly, over the radio, once they knew what the Rams would do defensively. Is that about right?

The technology exists to detect what happened on a play to a far greater degree of accuracy than any group of human referees can ever hope to achieve. If the NFL put sensors on the ball, the players and embedded in the field most calls could be made automatically by a bank of redundant, dispassionate computers that independently funnel all that collected data into a decision tree based on the NFL rule book and the decision that the majority of the computers agree on would be the call. The referees would just exist as a backup in the case of technical problems and a sanity check on the computed call. Each computer's software could be implemented differently so that hacking enough of them to influence the majority decision would be a lot harder to pull off.

There's a simple reason for that: there are too many teams for the number of talented players available to play on them. Most football programs lose money but the colleges keep pursuing it regardless.

What's the average track record of USC quarterbacks taken in the first round? I'm leery of Darnold personally; he's been surrounded with top-flight talent at USC and they may make him look better than he actually is. I'd rather the Bills draft a QB who hasn't had the greatest supporting cast and made them look better than they actually are.
