  1. He wasn't inaccurate, he was inconsistent due to mechanics not being refined/taught properly. Huge difference between the two that people don't make a distinction between usually. Luckily Beane and the scouts DID make that distinction.
  2. Watson pulling the Aaron Burr when talking to women: "I'm a trust fund baby, you can trust me!"
  3. It's the percentage of incompletions over 10 yards due to inaccurate passes.
  4. We are going to see Allen transform into Neo from the Matrix in front of our eyes when he finally believed he was "The One".
  5. Probably a sample size issue...pretty sure Wilson didn't throw a whole lot of those...also Jets were out of a lot of games so defenses likely playing backups or playoff soft coverages for a lot of the game likely helped as well.
  6. Allen ranked 4th last year directly behind Mahomes. Good chance if the ball isn't complete when Allen is throwing downfield, it's not on him.
  7. Maybe, maybe not. Players have to know they are going to have answer to their QB if they f**k up by not being prepared or ready to go. How many times did they look like they were "whatever" during the first half of the year last year like they just expected to show up and win?
  8. Does he not remember that game against Miami where we held their offense to like 150 yards passing most of the game and under 200 yards total with literally street UDFA's starting at CB for much of the game and both Hyde and Poyer out? The one we lost because half our starters were out injured or with heat stroke. If there is one position you should never worry about McD's ability to coach up it's the DB's. DB is the least of my worries. McD has consistently shown he can get street FA's to play well in his system time and again and has been down multiple starters and backups numerous times and their replacements played pretty well and the D was fine.
  9. Sometimes you have to handle it after it happens on the field. But you also have to know when that's called for and when it isn't.
  10. The last time I remember really seeing that is against TB where the ball got tipped and intercepted near the LOS by an onrushing defender. My biggest concern is that Rapp continue playing recklessly and injures teammates coming in like a heat seeking missile needlessly on tackles when the player is already going down like he did so many times last year.
  11. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people this year...he already has always had a knack for making big plays at big times...now he just needs to work on his consistency.
  12. Was anyone quittin', cause it was too hard hittin'?
  13. I think it means if you need to get in someone's ass because they aren't running the right route or being where they should be on a play after you've already talked about it multiple times, then that's what you need to do. It's holding someone accountable for what he needs to do on the field. I don't think I have ever seen Allen do that with anyone.
  14. Oh I was in no way talking about a pro athlete playing...I was simply responding to a person saying simple cuts were life threatening...they aren't in the vast majority of people unless there is something REALLY wrong with you. Nope, never got any of that. Honestly didn't cause any sides.
  15. I'm not sure where you got that from, but that isn't what being a CEO is about. It's more about the way you carry yourself and there is a different type of respect you command than when you are a normal employee. And about not being "one of the guys", but more of someone who is in charge.
  16. Essentially they do what many places do. They accept good because they are afraid to try for great. They know unless a miracle happens they aren't winning a championship with Tua. They might not ever even win a playoff game. He is currently propped up more than any other QB in the NFL and he still isn't able to get it done on a rookie deal. What's going to happen when he has to do the propping once they can't afford to surround him with all that talent due to him taking up huge cap dollars? In the games where teams have neutralized their scheme and disrupted timing which essentially forces Tua to beat them, he has been mostly average to abysmal. Not exactly what you want to see from a guy getting paid $53 mil a year. He should be making other teams pay in those situations but he can't because he simply is too physically limited to
  17. Haven't seen this mentioned on here. I used the search, so if it is please feel free to merge. Pegula apparently is upset that Allen has not embraced being in more of a CEO type role and instead is more of the "guy's guy" with teammates. Pegula wants Allen to be "above" teammates and the clear leader in that way as well similar to how some other QBs are...most notably like Brady probably. Pegula wants Allen to exhibit more of an "Executive Demeanor" and less of the "buddy buddy" way he is now with teammates... Assuming this is because it blurs the lines and allows others to think it's OK to get away with some things that otherwise they may not feel it would be OK to get away with? Or perhaps that they are a little more lax than they should be? Article eludes to that being part of the reason Diggs wanted out or had some issues? Either way sounds like we are likely going to be in for a new version of Allen this year if they are successful, and one where he may be holding others more accountable. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/7/27/24206901/terry-pegula-urging-qb-josh-allen-to-be-a-new-kind-of-leader-for-buffalo-bills-in-2024
  18. Who knows. Depends on how he would adjust to how the QB position was played today. There is literally no way of knowing and anyone who thinks there would be is simply lying. It's a different game today...might as well be a different sport.
  19. I'll be concerned if it's still happening at the mid point of the year.
  20. Man...it's not THAT serious. I was on Eliquis for a year, my Dad is on it for life due to DVTs. We have both had small cuts here and there and it was no big deal, maybe took a little longer than normal to stop but we weren't gushing blood for hours. The one issue with Elquis tho is that even tho it is far better than Warfarin in terms of side effects and ease of use is that if you do have a SERIOUS incident like a car crash or something they have no way of reversing it currently like they do with Warfarin.
  21. My Dad is as well and I have had a blood clot due to an impending hip surgery that rendered my immobile for multiple weeks prior... Basically they put you on Eliquis and you are good to go. Not sure how that would work playing football tho since you would bruise/bleed more easily.
  22. Most of those books are not actually written by the players, they are written by ghost writers or actual writers who publish it "as told to me by player X"
  23. Dick Jauron...how the heck did that incompetent dude get a team with no offense in Chicago to a 13-3 record.
  24. People are so clueless it's astounding. And I'm sure the poster has never played sports in his life, even as a kid.
  25. TV Contracts have changed the game. But those TV contracts have only grown because the NFL is a national addiction like crack cocaine was back in the 80s.
