PARKING Question - What's it like walking from Southwestern to the stadium this year?  Can you walk through the ECC and across to Hammer's lot or do you need to go around the construction?  On the latest stadium video it looks like the lot behind Hammers has been paved and lines painted... not sure if staff or anyone parks there or if it's all fenced off.

Gotta go around, unfortunately.

I think it's funny, far more creative than any other State Farm commercial with Mahomes in it.

I liked the ones with Mahomes and Reid from previous years, so it’s not Chiefs hater thing for me. I have more of a problem with Meghan Trainor’s performance. To each their own though.

A QB from the 90s and 00's that lasted a long, long time and won a ring starting for the Ravens when they had a murderers row of a defensive unit.

Bills can only make 8 such designations per season

You haven't watched much of Lamar passing have you?

Truthfully, no. Aside from national games and games against the Bills, it's mostly his highlights I've watched. That's when I noticed that most of the highlights were runs and throws to wide-open receivers. Again, this isn't to say there aren't some remarkable throws, just not (subjectively) more than any other QB's highlight reel. But I am persuaded by the stats you provided. (Thanks for pulling those together.) They represent objective evidence that he really is an elite passer. I'm ready to eat crow. 

 

I still would take Allen over Lamar every time, though.

Yes Lame Mar is better than Tua. My point is they both can't win when they need to. Mental failures and will never get one.

Josh, Tua, amd Lamar all have something in common.  They never reached a SB.

fwiw i agree with you. talent wise lamar has more than tua because he can run but tua is the better qb. he's not as healthy, however.

 

but lamar and tua are equal, both havne't got the job done when they need to and thus only so great.

 

it's like when people talk about the best qb's of all time. jim kelly would be higher if he had just 1 SB victory.

... let go of things like mark andrews?

 

but, lets be honest... you say he can win a title and be sb mvp.  ok, when he is just that we will revisit this discussion. because, i bet ya.... he won't.

He and Josh has the same number of SB appearances.

Again. I'm a Bills fan.

 

But the cognitive dissonance to say that when we seem to run into a brick wall against Mahomes ever.single.year. is wild.

They are in that same boat.  And when that boat stops, it lets Josh off while Lamar stays on it.  That boat is called the “SS Playoff choker”.  I think he will eventually get off that boat, just as I think both will get off the zero Lombardi boat….. but until then-  it’s a lonely boat ride that Lamar is on.  
 

Josh is an all time playoff performer.  Lamar is not.  

Josh hasnt won anything either.  You guys keep labeling Lamar as a choker when Josh hasn't gotten it done either

You have 50+ posts as a pestering guest in a pregame thread where nobody else has more than 32.

You can either learn to control yourself or it will be done for you.

Because winning a Super Bowl is a team sport and winning the Super Bowl without any semblance of a pass rush is close to impossible to do.  Our pass rush has sucked during the entirety of Josh Allen’s career.  Maybe he should play Edge too.  

 

Maybe you don’t understand what “choking” is.  Did Josh lose the game with 13 seconds left?  Or did he win the game with 13 seconds left?  
 

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/josh-allen-and-lamar-jackson-playoff-stats

 

other than last seasons season ending loss (when he had 2 turnovers) Lamar’s completion percentage in season ending losses reads:  48% (1 int 1 fumble lost) 52% (2 int- 1 FL) 58% (1 int) 54% (1 int 1 FL).

 

Sorry, but your homeritis has blinded you.  Can’t imagine how good the ravens would be if they had Josh Allen. You’d probably have 2 Lombardis in the last 5 season.  Hard to gauge the 2 seasons the ravens didn’t make the playoffs due to Lamar not being able to play.

Sorry for adding fuel to the fire- I honestly thought it was in the other thread.  I moved his quotes from this thread to the other with hopes he would continue our conversation there and didn’t realize he deliberately moved it back here

And this is all I'm saying.  If Lamar's  a choker because he hasn't won it all when they both have run u0 against the same team and had the exact same outcome then what are you really saying about your own QB.

I thought this was a message board.  I haven't called anyone names but I've neen called names.  I haven't said a bad thing about any member of the Bills but I've had names called at the Ravens and specifically Lamar.  I see you guys don't want to talk ball with anyone other then those that share your same opinion.  This will be my last post.  Good luck Sunday.

You're right, Josh hasn't won anything. Josh isn't the one who chokes though. Lamar is. He is turnover happy in the playoffs. Your roster is stacked. Our roster is mediocre. Dunno how you don't see the difference other than your bias.

I see the showers ending by nightfall, but will be cool and breezy for sure. 

 

Have to imagine we'll see that missing heat and mugginess for one or more of the September/October home games.

People will point to the huge windows he throws into downfield, but that’s also due to him (and Henry). 

Correct, and his passing numbers drastically went up when Henry joined him. The stacked boxes he sees has made the passing game wide open for him
