Vontae Davis: "He could at least have the decency to wait until halftime to retire!"

I'm interested to see just how much Samuel can bring to this offense. Will he be used all around the field? Will he be a focus of the offense or just a complimentary piece? I'm expecting big things from Kincaid and Shakir this year, but could it be Samuel in line for a breakout season? I'm looking forward to finding out!! Go Bills!!

I don't think Jackson is a bum....he is an elite runner and a dreadful passer. elite + dreadful would normally equal out to average, but I feel a greater weight should be given to passing ability when talking about QB's, so therefore I went with "below average". Either way, the overarching point of my post was the fact that the Media and Talking Heads always try to equate Jackson with Mahomes, Allen, and Burrow when that could not be further from the case. Furthermore, they always gloss over or minimize his blame for when his team loses, but they are not at all shy to take a huge dump all over Josh Allen for even a minor mistake.....even when the Bills actually win some of these guys will still take a shot at Allen. Everyone should be treated equally when it comes to praise, and criticism. That is just not the case when it comes to Allen and Jackson. If I wanted to be cynical, I would call it the Bill Polian effect...he lost his job for criticizing Jackson, so now pundits of all races are afraid to criticize him for fear that the same would happen to them....that's not right either. I really hope that isn't the reason for this double standard in coverage.

Not judging him off of one game, this is a pattern. He crapped the bed in the playoffs vs. the Chiefs last year, and vs. the Bills in the playoffs a few years ago. He pads his stats vs. bad teams, then is exposed when he plays against good teams....it happens almost every time.

If he hadn't missed a wide open Zay Flowers one play earlier, the throw to Likely(which was also a highly inaccurate throw, by the way) would not have been necessary.....which is exactly my point....he's not a good QB. Edit: I don't hate Jackson, I hate how he is treated with kid gloves by the Media.

I could replace Lamar Jackson with Tua in the title of the thread, and my comments would still be accurate.

Can't read Defenses. One read, then run it on nearly every play. Most of the completions he did have were the result of great catches by his receivers of terrible throws. Overthrows, throws into coverage, missing wide open receivers....I could go on and on. He is nowhere near the level of Mahomes, Josh Allen or Joe Burrow, yet he is a 2 time MVP??? Give me a break. I know some will disagree with me, but please tell me what you saw out there today(minus running the ball as many times as a RB in a game) that tells you he is on the same level as the top QB's in the league??

Humble brag that you are in Madrid.😀

I injured my oblique about a week ago and it took about 4 days before is stopped bothering me. I'm sure Solomon injured his in a more stressful way like a tackling drill or weightlifting, whereas I injured mine while lying on my back in my bed with my hands above my head and yawning hard......middle-aged problems!!🙁

I am a fan of the all-white uniforms on the road, but this is the perfect uniform combination for home games. Go Bills!!!

I hope we will be getting some practice reports, and maybe a Week 1 injury report soon......very quiet on this board regarding the game this week!!

I think you mean INT's.😃

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, but he is also on the "Most Underrated" list as well....what?? How can they vote him on both lists?? FWIW, all four panelists on Around the Horn extremely disagreed with Allen being on the Overrated list, as they should. What a Joke!

Did he slip on one of those "Slippery Rubber Mats"??

Why isn't it funny.......it's attached to the "Humerus" (Humorous)😛

When I tried to sign up through the e-mail you sent, it wouldn't let me sign up, but when I tried to sign up through the link you provided in this thread, it worked. Just letting you know....not sure why that happened.

Heard this song on TV and decided to look it up....a unique and talented performer for sure.

I'll go forward in time a little and mention Moulds and Peerless Price.

Stupid auto-correct on my phone! Anyway, I fixed it within minutes, but not fast enough to keep you from "Dunking on me" over it.😒

The dumb Steelers announcers were like what a good play by Fields!! No, it was a gimme INT that went through Hardy's hands.....a terrible throw.

This team would be lucky to win 3 games if Mitch was the starting QB. He's "That Mitch".

For those of us who took the over on question 1, and the under on question 2:

Hello pick 33!!

If USA women win in Volleyball and Basketball tomorrow, USA can win the Gold Medal count......lets go, ladies!!! Steph Curry doing Steph Curry things in the 4th quarter.....greatest shooter on the planet proves it once again!! France played admirably, but every time they hit a shot, Curry had an aswer......awesome performance!!!!!
