    What does “giving himself up” mean?

     

    That the rules no longer apply and you no longer have to even take 2 seconds to take a knee on a kickoff anymore. Absolute garbage. Rules are rules. 

     

    Edit: I'm fine with the end result, whatever, it is what it is - but don't selectively enforce the rules because its a playoff game.

    I watched about 40% of this game, what exactly am I missing in people blaming allne?

     

    Because it's the hot narrative here. Always. 

     

    Defense gashed? Nope. Kicker missing a 34 yarder? Nope. In position to tie, another missed FG? Nope. 

     

    Defense allowed 0. Special teams were immaculate. Entire loss is on #17. Duh. 

     

    Not an Allen defender or supporter, but it's ridiculous in here.

    I don't think you understand how numbers work. His 30 out of 32 ranking includes his 4th quarters. That means his first three quarters have been so bad it brings his overall rating to 30 of 32. Got it? 

     

    Based on your own logic, if 30 out of 32 sucks, then top 10 guys should be yearly studs.

     

    2017 - Keenum - 2nd; Alex Smith - 8th;

    2018 - Trubisky - 3rd; Winston - 8th

     

    Those guys sure are world beaters right now (apologies to Alex Smith and his robotic leg). 

     

    Goff went to a Super Bowl and is currently 25th, he must suck too.  Carson Wentz was 26th in his rookie season (which Josh just barely got out of in terms of games played), he must be trash. 

     

    While I'll agree that Josh has his problems and there's plenty of work to do - you can't rest solely on one stat.  One season and one stat does not determine whether a QB will be successful or not; especially considering Allen was always considered to be a project.  I don't recall anyone ever saying "this kid is a year 1 starter, pro-ready".  Instead, I recall hearing, "has all the physical tools, is super raw, needs to sit and learn (which he never got the opportunity to do) and he could, potentially be a top guy." 

     

    18 starts in, we're 5-2, we lost one game where we got our asses kicked as a whole, and now the multi-year project QB is now an immediate bust.

  4. What I don't understand is WHY the favoritism is so blatant. I feel like if you asked most NFL fans who their least favorite team is, the predominant answer would be the Patriots. The NFL would likely gain fans and ratings if the Pats came back down to earth and were beatable. 

     

    <Pause> Look another blocked punt! 

     

    I get the Kraft/Goodell thing, etc. But it just seems like bad business when the favoritism is this obvious.

    I know the game is in Cleveland, but by the time we play them, they could very well be 3-5 and their fans losing interest. Let's just say that there is NOWHERE NEAR the same love for the Browns here in this area as there would be for the Bills in WNY. It's pathetic on Sundays and today with hardly any Browns attire or anything.

     

    So you're saying we should take over First Energy Stadium...I like it!! 

  6. Haven't had a chance to see Mahomes play much, but watched all of this game. I know Indy had a great game plan, but without Hill and Watkins, I thought he looked extremely human. Everyone has bad games, but still not the omnipotent God of quarterbacking that I expected to see.

    One shot they showed, looked like he was putting pressure on the side of it with a cloth under, made me think he was putting pressure to stop bleeding, that made me think cut??

     

    Yep. I'm thinking of the same shot. I viewed it more as if he jammed the thumb and was putting pressure on it and pulling the thumb outwards to 'unjam' it, which a lot of people do as an immediate reaction. Definitely could have been a cut though... 

     

    Oh well, no injury news is good news!!
