You get weird sometimes...absolutely no comparison...

Am of the opinion you don't like Dallas because they're not your ideal of a modern team.

Nice airmail throw to the wide open TE there by Lock on the goal line. Wow - only thought Allen was allowed to do that?? Cost them an easy 7 points. Unfortunately then on 4th and 1/2 yd you don’t have the best short yardage runner in the NFL to run it in (for the uneducated, That’s Josh Allen) And try a gimmick shuffle pass.

Terrible miss by Lock.

Stupid play call by the OC.

I call it like I see it.

You and the mothers of some of the stars players.

That said ....finals are a coin flip. I'd take the stars at this point.

steelers beat the giants by 10, hot take from that is the steelers are back

bills beat the jets by 10, hot take is allen is still flawed despite 369 yards



can't make this stuff up

The Bills could win the super bowl by 30 and the asshats would still complain about Allen’s one missed throw. Too many people are embarrassed that they shat all over him as a prospect and he’s proving them wrong

I just think they're lucky and not deserving We can do an avatar bet ... Tampa will easily walk all over them im thinking 4-1

Tampa should win this series. On paper. But I think you underestimate how well Dallas plays playoff hockey. Series should go at least six games. And, if Khoudobin holds up, they could very well take the series in six games.

"Stamkos was on the ice with about half of the team in Monday’s optional practice. The two-minute, 54-second clip of practice showed Stamkos warming up and participating in a couple of drills"

We dodged a bullet by him not picking us. Fine player back in the day, not so much anymore.

I think Belicheck would make a hell of a hedge fund manager.

Has there been anyone else to release multiple players at the peak for them to go on and stink up the joint elsewhere ?

Sure, and the only thing that has changed from game 12 of Allen to game 29 is the supporting cast.

The Bills will win the AFC East and a home wild card game.

If Allen takes care of the football they very well may play an AFC Championship game.

I have seen a large enough sample size to know that Allen will be a starter in this league and provide serviceable QB play but his mechanics and accuracy will keep him from being a top 5-10 QB.

How different is it from people bashing dahlin. I've seen dahlin live probably 40 times including his first goal in Arizona.

I'm a bit concerned that he has scored just 13 goals in 2 years.

It would be ridiculous to say I've seen enough and hes NEVER going to be an elite nhl goal scorer. 5-10 defenseman in scoring. (Points and/or goals)

Especially after Allen played some really good football.
Exciting football

Lock looks like a clown tonight.
Boring football as well

They are down Von Miller, Aj Bouye, and Courtland Sutton and are tied.
