Just saw a clip of the Music City Miracle (again).

How the frank was that not ruled a forward pass?

Garbage, but that should have been Flutie's game to win or lose. Unfortunately we had a meddling owner named Terry Pegula... err... Ralph Wilson

He’s played 3 seasons. This 5/9 thing doesn’t hold up for you or Fitz.

Year 2 was better than year 1. Year three has been a giant leap from year 2.

I already posted what his last 16 games has been.

4,024 passing yards, 29 passing TD’s, and 10 rushing TD’s with 7 or 8 picks (forgot which one)

It’s now been at least 16 games he’s been an above average starter with the last 9 being......elite

- sbroads24


Year 1 and year 2 were not even average stats. He was tyrod Taylor level

Or more accurately Allen has 5 tremendous games, 3 good games and 1 below average games, but make up Sh&t as much as you want

Umm what?

Chiefs game - Allen sucked
Titans game - he really sucks
Jets game - he was bad
Patriots game - he was bad.

Stop being bias.

Neither of these things are remotely true.

Worst part of the clip was seeing Johnson on the sidelines with that ridiculous headband.

True Wedgie Story:

We went to the last Bills’ homegame with Johnson. Pulled into the parking lot just past 8 am.

By about 11 am, wandered into the “gift shop” that guy has in his living room. Rob Johnson jerseys for $10! And I’m liquored up! I’ll take one!

About 30 minutes later, stumble upon a stand selling t-shirts that proclaim “Rob sucks the big Johnson!” Yeah, gotta have one of those, which I pull over my new Rob Johnson jersey.

We go to the game, and an older security guard politely says, “Hey fellas, there are kids here, do you mind taking those t-shirts off?”

“Yeah, you are right, no problem, sir.” I whip off the t-shirt to reveal my Johnson jersey.

Guy just looks at me, shakes his head and walks off. I still piss myself thinking about it.

Jets game he was 31 of 40 310yrds, moved the ball up and down the field, had a TD called back, and 2 other drives stopped by penalties. Patriots game he threw 18 times and completed 11 passes, they ran the ball. KC and Tennessee he was of his game. He's been pretty good this year.

I dont care if it's Miller, Montour or Risto who they move. Borgen will be 24 when the season starts so it's getting to the now-or-never phase to see if he should be protected in the expansion. Moving one of the 3 above allows him to transition to the NHL as a 6/7 D while not counting on him to be anything good. Id like to see what he's got, especially because he adds a different physical dynamic to the defense
- jcragcrumple


I have a hard time seeing a realistic scenario where he is protected.

Yeah, except overpaying good players is fine. Okposo was fine before his brain turned to mush; that's just bad luck. When you pay Girgensons what Girgensons AND Larsson should cost(and keep the wrong one on top of it), it's a terrible, indefensible move.

Yeah I dont see it either. Dahlin is a lock, Ralph loves Risto and I think Joker makes 3

Seattle chooses Borgen over Girgensons, Miller, Eakin, Tokarski and Lazar

I feel like a lot of ppl here have counted out Asplund
It’s nice to see him scoring this year,
but we haven’t really seen him do that in the NHL
So his ceiling is probably as a bottom6 player

He could be competing for the hole left by Larsson signing elsewhere

- jdfitz77

never know, he was buried for 9 minutes a night when he got the chance plus pk time

Chiefs game- Mahomes had a bottom half game career wise. It was the 7th fewest yards he's had in a game, including a game he only threw 11 passes in, he had 19 games with more TDs. Let's not pretend like Mahomes was amazing. The weather was dogpoop and the best QB in the league had a bad, for him, game. How well do you think Allen is going to do?

Titans game- 263 2 2 not great, but far from "really sucks"

Jets game- 69.77% 307 yards 61 on the ground, 2 sure thing TDs called back on stupid bullpoop like Davis being off the line by a few inches or a dumbass TE tripping over his own feet. Now you're at close to 400 yards and 2 TDs, but even without them that's a good game.

Patriots game- Was not good. Only threw 18 passes, wasn't needed.

You're the one who's being biased.

The Chiefs ran the ball almost 50 times. The Bills entire game plan was to defend the pass. Mahomes went 21/26 and had a 128.4 QBR. Mahomes handled the weather conditions much better than Allen did.

However, using Mahomes as the litmus test for QB play isn’t fair to anyone. He’ll be the best to ever do it by the time he’s retired.

The rest of the post makes sense.

Would be hard pressed to find many players, even the elite ones, that were overpaid on Tampa and St.Louis the last two years.

That’s what makes the Stanley Cup the hardest trophy to win in sports.

Need to have multiple great players, need them to all produce higher then the rate they are paid, need to have good luck, need to stay healthy.

All it takes is a hot goaltender to Frank your season, or injuries at the wrong time.

Tampa has been the best team in the NHL for years and finally did it in a pandemic.

Pretty much how I see it too, adding a couple forwards as possibilities.

so wrong in every level Proof that one can't have an intelligent conversation with the unintelligent. Check any NFL ranking stat or any of the things Allen is doing that hasn't been done in the Superbowl era. I should expect this dribble from someone who sh*ts on Dahlin all hockey season. complain about the best player on the team to draw attention to oneself. What are you, a 14 year old?

He's playing some good football, every QB has games like KC and Tennessee. "The Experience" is doing his job. Know if they can clean a few things up like the run game which will only make Allen more dangerous and the defense keeps improving, makes for a very dangerous team.
