You really feel like he's going to pass the physical?
- Lunaion


Trying to be optimistic I guess?

Resting was the agreed upon treatment for his injury.

He's rested and also spotted skating and shooting.
Last year was an odd exit, offseason rehab rumors...

Wouldn't bet the house on eichel passing the physical 🤔

I think Daboll's biggest problem is that he runs 2 different, but very predictable offenses: one with Allen under C and the other shot gun. They generally aren't effective under C, but they don't run well out of the shot gun.

There is a lot of season left.

Teams are still working out the cobwebs.

The Bills defence has had two strong outings which is good to see.

The thing is though.. Brady does know what he has to do to win.

If he has to hand it off 25-30 times he will. If he has to throw it 40 times he will.

Other greats have been a little more stubborn

But yea I still think he’s been the most fortunate athlete of all time

Well coached teams loaded with talent.

Even this last year he had one of the best o-lines in football, had Evans/Godwin/Brown/Gronk, Fournette/Jones, and a defence that ranked 1st against the run in DVOA and 5th against the pass.

Even with all of that, if the Saints pull Brees at the half in the divisional round they win that game with Winston.

If the D can keep being stout and the young Dline keeps getting better and allows this offense to really get on track. Watch Out this will be a very scary team to have to play

Yeah, never said that.

I literally did say he's a "good player".

But you know what, today reminded me why I don't want to post here anymore.

Can't say anything and be wrong without a bunch of dudes piling on. Can't say anything and be right without being ignored. Can't even have a normal conversation with any of you guys.

Ya'll are sad.

As concerning as Allen’s play has been,
the defense looks really good
And i have confidence that Allen & the offense will look much better

Right now he has -

Top 3 TE of all time

Top 10 WR of all time

Future HOF WR

Pro bowl caliber WR

Top 5 O line

Top 5 defense

It’s insane his supporting cast

I feel like Lamar will be debated his entire career.

What I do know is, he is an elite athlete and went to an organization that adapted and modified an offence to his talents that puts points on the board.

Score more points than the other team and nobody cares how it’s done.

Unless one of them win a SB

And as we have discussed on this page, it comes down to the team as a whole.

Peyton Manning’s legacy was in question until he won a Super Bowl leading the 26th ranked offence according to DVOA to a SB win while being in a QB competition with Brock Osweiler for a majority of the year in which he wasn’t injured. Ironically enough both QB’s beat Brady that year and Tom had 36 TD’s 7 INT’s and a 117 passer rating that year.

Football is weird sometimes.

Bills keep playing defence the way they are and try to be less predictable on offence and they’ll have a shot just like 6 other teams in the AFC this year

I think it is safe to say that the Bills are the deepest and most complete team in the AFC.

We are going to cruise to another division title and the #1 seed.

I don't see a second loss until possibly the Tampa game.

Then we will get our revenge on Brady & the Bucs in the Super Bowl.

See you on Delaware Avenue in February!

This team is looking a lot more like the 2019 team rather than the 2020 team right now. That should be more than good enough to win the division, but I highly doubt they go into both Kansas City and Tennessee in back-to-back primetime games and take them both.

Yeah that's a tall task. They need to get the O in rhythm.

Tennessee took a step back too. Quite a game yesterday against Russ, but week 1 they were a tire fire. Still wasn't great yesterday either.

I'm not saying their a well-oiled machine but they're still a good football team, beatable, but good. Going on the road against Kansas City and them back-to-back is going to be very tough.

Titans defence is quite bad.

Tannehill looks ordinary when you slow down Henry.

If you can’t slow down Henry and they get the play action game going Tannehill then looks like a top 10 QB in the league

what's forgotten in the pats 20 yr. domination is that their first super bowl was won mainly with a very strong defense (as well as major help from the infamous "tuck rule)

that's the key... a very large large north-south runner with speed and agility like henry is set up for success behind that huge, often dominant, offensive line that gets plenty of help from big wr's
