thenorthremembers Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) If your bored give it a watch/listen. First and foremost, Shady is hilarious. Secondly, he goes to bat for Allen quite a bit. Part that stood out was Edelman saying a former Bill who played with both Josh Allen and Daniel Jones said Jones was way more accurate than Allen. Have to imagine it was Beasley or Hodgins, but Breida or Davis Webb would also make sense. Edited February 2 by thenorthremembers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Man Edelman is awful, skipped around the video the bit about Josh to see what Shady said about him, spoiler we don't know Edelman didn't let him say what he was wanting to say and made it about what he wanted to talk about with Josh. So Shady is basically on the defensive the whole time as Edelman vomits the same old tired narrative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Shady is basically on the defensive the whole time as Edelman vomits the same old tired narrative. I think what he brought up was apt. Yes, its the same argument a lot of people make, he's too reckless/he cant beat Mahomes (both of which are true to an extent) but I also think Shady did a hell of a job of saying why those things are excusable to an extent. For those who aren't going to listen Shady essentially said Allen is like a modern-day Favre. He said his ceiling is so high that you will take the recklessness. I think they both agreed that no one else in the league can do what Josh does. But, Josh tends to get in his own way as well. One of the points Shady made that few people seem to really take to heart is that championships are harder than hell to win. Patriot fans seem to think they grow on trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Applicable Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) My money is on Davis Webb. Allen seems like he is able to essentially choose who his backups are, and those decisions are often based on personal friendships (Barkley, Kyle Allen). Webb was gone after only one year here and is probably bitter about how the QB room was constructed.

Shady tries to say something about Josh and Edelman ***** derails it into this tired debate we hear everywhere. Did he drop a fatman TD pass at some point? Agreed there. I was more interested in hearing why Shady didnt think Allen was a nerd, than having to hear another debate about whether he turns the ball over too much. 5 minutes ago, Low Positive said: How is his “recklessness” a reason that he “can’t beat Mahomes?” He doesn’t turn the ball over in the playoffs. Maybe Josh should take some more rusts in the playoffs. I think they are seen as separate issues. However, I think the margin for error is so small in the NFL that you could argue if Josh takes the check down instead of gunning for the endzone in the latest Chiefs game there may be some sort of correlation.

uticaclub Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Where on the doll did Beasley touch you? I didn't realize there was so much hate toward Cole.

Shaw66 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It's always worth it to listen to Shady. Man, he's smart, and he understands a lot, and he's funny. He was talking about great running backs. One of the things that I like about the Bills is that they have perhaps the greatest stable of running backs in the history of the NFL. I mean, the Bears have Gale Sayers and Payton, and they probably have had a few others. But the Bills had Gilchrist, Simpson, Cribbs, Thomas, and Shady. Fred Jackson playing for almost any other franchise would have been in their top five, all-time, but not in Buffalo. I never really understood how good Shady was until he came to Buffalo. The guy was a magician. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Greg Roman is a great run game designer. His other 3 seasons in Buffalo he was a below average RB statistically.

Matt_In_NH Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Go to 30:30. Edelman talking about "the interceptions" He says "these things are happening in the most important games he is playing where he's turning the ball over in the red area....and constantly happening".....this is the nonsense that these national media types love to spew even though it is not true. I think Allen had one red zone INT this year and none n the 4th quarter and 0 turnover in the playoffs. The overall topic is Allen needs to go further...ok great I agree but in the interest of this is a team game, has the problem against the Chiefs been Josh Allen??? Can anyone who actually knows the game and watched those games make that stupid argument? Then he goes "a Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes team does not make those mistakes in the playoffs" and Shady agrees!, UGG These guys all just listen to each other and don't actually know jack. Compare Josh's turnovers to Mahomes in the playoffs, that is not the problem. Edited February 2 by Matt_In_NH 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with No Name Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 These people do not have the time to watch 4 quarters of 15 games every week. they are looking stat sheets and making up their own narrative. i stopped watching and listening to sports commentary a long time ago when i figured out that i knew more about my favorite teams than them. the only guys worth watching are those who actually know how to break down plays and understand the nuance behind the stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One outstanding year.........rest of his time in Buffalo averaged 3.9 yards per carry. League average per carry was 4.2. His first year, which I assume you consider good, was a disaster that started with him refusing to report unless his recently signed and already fat contract was re-worked and extended. Then he had a bunch of injuries and per carry production a full yard less than the other 2 active RB's on the roster. He embarrassed himself in a critical loss to Philly where Chip Kelly comically showed everyone why he traded him(because of his undisciplined, side-line dash style of running). Season culminated in him finishing the year on IR. He got his act together after the nightclub brawl with off-duty cops and admitted he wasn't following the design of Roman's run game and came back and had his one excellent season but the following season his production dropped like a rock, proving that his good prior year was mostly the product of the system. When he got to Buffalo he was hitting the wall, not the same player he had been in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
