Every answer Jerry gave was about himself and the criticisms of him. Those were not the questions. That was an all-timer press conference.



It's a damn tough read to make in that situation. You're running a condensed formation, which makes your blitz reads tougher. Spags dials up a fantastic play and you've got not just the extra guy running free, but a second rusher. I get the point that Solak is trying to make, but I don't know that the near side edge is as clear of a read as he thinks it is while Allen's still looking at it.

I both think it's the right answer and am not going to kill anyone for missing it as long as you find something that gives you a chance. He got off a pretty damn good throw considering and it was a 1st Down if he catches it. I'll take that every time.

Yeah. A very fast thing happened there. Allen's entire nature is to gunsling. He reverted to instinctive nature. It's who he is. Brady and Brees flayed teams with stuff like that Shakir route, so in that situation I see them hitting that throw. These are humans with human brains and human patterns and tendencies. Some of them can break those constraints under pressure like that, but those are freaks of nature. It's easy and fun to nitpick but at the end of the day, we should also remember that the QB is who he is.

Speaking of retired QBs, in that situation Phil Rivers completes the Kincaid throw and makes several other 15/10 difficulty throws all for the purpose of throwing the worst game-losing INT anyone has ever seen.

HE'S STILL GOING. HE'S TALKING ABOUT CHAN GAILEY AND BARRY SWITZER

You know what this is, Jojo? It's another five (with luck, four) years of nothingness guaranteed. I think Jack (I have decided to refer to Dak as Jack now) is severely limited, obviously, and as long as they are stuck with him, there's no hope. But Wally Walleye will also not fire a f***ing coach in fewer than five years. So it's just huge hunks of history chucked into the toilet. What an embarrassment.

I didn't watch the Dallases closely this season or last season, but I was always left thinking that there's no way that they were using their offensive tools in the most bestest ways. Like they decided to figure out Jak's limitations and surprise teams by playing to them as much as possible. I didn't watch enough to have different ideas, but that was the vibe.

Cap, for your sake I am sorry, but Little Stevie over there does not seem to have any course correction in him even after Jerry goes.

His big story was about how smart he is because he shocked local writers when he bought the team by driving a 5 year old Bronco on his own property? Incredibly weird.

 

[Jtown]

He put out like a five minute video last night breaking it down too and it's bewildering.

getting cooked right now.

Sometimes Allen is gonna go Full Grossman. It's his nature. I don't think this is complex or controversial. He is gonna go for The Thing in big moments. Always has. Sometimes it poops into his ass and he's ridiculed for a week, sometimes he's a massive hero.

Brees and Brady make that Shakir throw, though. I have 0 doubt. And normally it's a good idea to do what those guys would have done.

Brett Favre. Allen is a clone. Big athlete with big arm and the belief that "only he can save us."
Managing a game is beneath him.

Elway was kind of that guy early in his career out of necessity, found it it's more fun to hand off to Terrell Davis, watch your defense roll, and be able to get out of bed the next morning and admire your fancy new ring.

I'm not. I lived in Texas. Cowboy fans are insufferable front runners.

Has any Dickerson info actually come out? Is he getting an MRI or anything?

Tell me you didn't watch a single Buffalo game this year without actually saying it. This is what he did the vast majority of the season. They swung the entire offense to build around the running game and not making mistakes. That was the big storyline. They made this change to beat specifically Kansas City.

Who does Taylor Swift root for? Will she root against "the team she grew up cheering for?"

She started as a country singer: "Stand by Your Man . . . "

And Favre ran the WCO. Didn't keep him from making those throws into triple coverage.

Josh Allen had a Turnover Worthy Play rate of ~2.5% this year. He did exactly what you say you want him to do.

I do not understand why you have to have opinions on things you know absolutely nothing about. Or why you don't think to check before insisting.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We are aware that Allen didn’t turn the ball over or really come close to doing so after the first drive, right? He didn’t put the ball in harms way.

We’re aware that Allen isn’t remotely the reason that they lost to the Chiefs last night nor the reason they lost to them the other years, right?

Allen couldn’t do anything more.

Put the ball exactly where he needed on fourth down. Tough catch, no doubt about it, but the Quarterback made a tough throw, the receiver didn't make a tough catch.

I'm absolutely sick on his behalf.

We're running headfirst into the Bulls/Patriots problem in that the Chiefs' presence distorts reality to the point that it strangles reasonable discussion. Some of those teams like the Trailblazers, Suns, Colts, Seahawks, Eagles, etc were not overhyped at all. Most years, they're good enough to win. They just ran into buzzsaws.

Please note: I said not one nice word here about the Utah Jazz, Karl Malone, or John Stockton. Never have. Never will.

It's brutal to have two back to back in the same league like this. It just makes everything less fun.

That's 2.5 too high duh

Bingo. Frustrating

Can't we ever be one of these teams?

We'll always have the Rams/Bengals Super Bowl, lol.

Feel like the Bills & Ravens are basically becoming this era’s Colts & Steelers of the 2000’s. It’s similar narrative around them & their QB’s as it was to those teams because they always had to get through the Pats to make it out of the AFC.

This is the way

Can you imagine if Wentz came in, had a once in a lifetime game and won it? ugh, what a travesty that would be. .

It was incidentally the first season where I thought "This is it, this is the usage of Allen that breaks through. I wonder if it can last?"

It cannot. But it's also irrelevant to the game itself. More to my own personal tastes, really.

He fumbled i think at least once when he jumped over the line and he was very lucky to recover. That being written he is nothing like Favre.
