I said Interception before that one so I basically caught it, welcome guys

Allen: Misses two open guys, then throws an INT!

Thereby gaining five yards over an incomplete pass ...

 

[TommyD4207]

Josh Allen picked off! Huge play by the Bucs on 4th down. You love to SEE IT!!! Hahaha

I mean he should have knocked it down, but yeah.

How sweet it is.

Josh Allen is hearing Drake Mays’s footsteps.

Patriots at the top of the AFC. Bills reverting back to sucking.

World is right again

I personally think Love is overrated

I think he occasionally gets overrated. His first year starting full time he had a lot of hype but didn't live up to it year 2. He occasionally had sort elite looking streaks that make you believe maybe he has taken the next step, but falls back down to earth.

He played some of the best ball of his career for a short time this year and also had some inflated stat plays which made people overrate him a little. Now i think most people agree he is back where he belongs.

He is that QB just on the edge of the top 10 who occasionally gets hot, like all QBs that are there do. But he isn't special or even top of that 2nd tier. He in many ways is one of the worst things that can happen to a team. He's a good QB you can carry for 15 years and be a winner more than not. But unless you get very lucky in the draft and put an absolute dynamite cast around him (which will be hard always picks in the high teens and low 20s) you are probably stuck.

Frankly i think GB should do the gutsy thing and trade him for absolutely every high pick they can (which will be a lot as he will save a coach and GM their job for a few years).

Get something like 3 first round picks along with a few 2nds and 3rds go QB hunting again but with more talent. But rarely do teams do that.

I'm here for the mirth!

 

[TommyD4207]

This interior of the line is like 2005 Patriots level of bad, for Buffalo.

 

[TommyD4207]

3rd an 1 fullback dive for 13 on a goalline defense.

 

[Thelonious]

McCarthy is truly awful.

 

[VJCPatriot]

The Bucs are just running over the Bills. This is very satisfying to watch.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

lol 3rd & 1 everybody knew Tampa was gonna run and you allow them to run for 10+

 

[Thelonious]

Yep. I can't help but root for TB. It's schoolyard football at the highest level.

 

[TommyD4207]

Tampa's OC is getting way too cute with these orbit-motion passes and handoffs. They're not working. Stop doing it.

 

[BobDigital]

Josh Allen throwing picks is fun as we want Maye to be the best in this division. But the goal isn't Josh Allen. The Goal is Mahomes. For all the crap that can be said about him he has 3 rings and is the face is the league. If you to look for a guy for Drake to over take, that should be the goal IMO. Can't do it all at once... But if he can somehow someway get a ring this year, that be a hell of a statement.

This is what the late, great NFL.COM writer and podcaster Chris Wesseling described as "QB purgatory".

A GM would have to have his head examined if they gave up three first round picks for Love. He’s just too inconsistent.

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

I keep talking about how Josh Allen chokes when the lights are the brightest. He's got too much gunslinger in him, like Brett Favre. And he could win a Super Bowl, but everything around him would have to be perfect, like how Lebron has teams carry him to rings.

 

[Thelonious]

Green Bay looks....weak.
