Is anyone still worried about the Bills?

So you think there is zero chance that the team that lost to 2-13 Jacksonville could lose to 7-8 Atlanta? If so, you either do not understand the concept or are being disingenuous.
They could lose a game or even both but they have been playing better lately.

Not sure 2 games is trend though. They were on a 3-5 skid before winning 2 in a row. And one was against cam
Newton.
Im not saying they are going to lose, but the idea that they are invincible and have no chance of losing is silly.

Are you familiar with the idea that something could be necessary but not sufficient? Saying you need a good arm to be an NFL QB is not the same as saying you ONLY need a good arm to be an NFL QB.

All the top NFL QBs right now have great arms. Brady, Rogers, Mahommes, Allen et al. Its almost an historically bad time to have a mediocre arm. I think you could but Hebert up there - maybe Stafford as well.

Last really good NFL QB with a below average arm - Drew Brees and before that maybe Petyon Manning. So there is hope. But its the exception - not the rule.

I think people with even weak arms and efficient can win Superbowls in Pats’ system. Chad Pennington would have won a SB with us. Or Alex Smith. Mistake free football.

Also it’s not clear not me that Mac Jones’ arm is that much weaker. Not clear to me he’s been asked to make deep throws that he’s underthrowing.

I mean it’s easy to take an abundance of success with a guy like Brady and assume that we won so much that a more mediocre guy would win with us. But let’s be real, Pennington his first year wasn’t beating the Rams at no point in his career is he he winning a shootout like SB 38, or make comebacks like in 49 or 51 (include the fact that one of those runs also had a the doubt 14 point comeback against Baltimore) and he wouldn’t have balled out against the Chiefs in 18.

So maybe he wins SB 39, but even then, that was a year Brady had some really good playoff game performances and they become entirely different beasts with Pennington.
 
They haven't shown anything else than the fact that they are going to be an one and out playoff team. They don't have that killer instinct; they let us hang around all game long and never bothered to put us away with a kill shot.

They didn't beat us. We beat ourselves. Easily one of the worst games this year.
No they beat us pretty comfortably. Let’s be real, we played them twice and the far more suspect game of the two was the one where we won barely hanging on in a game where a predominantly passing game couldn’t pass because of the weather.

Buffalo right now is the better team.

How is being within one score of winning a game in the 4th, in any sense, a "pretty comfortable" win?

Here are some 85 yard bombs from the biggest bust in NFL history.


Terry Bradshaw ****ing sucks so ****ing bad… What a ****ing clown… and also one of THE most over-rated QBs in history of the league, right up there with another good ol’ gunslinger Brett Favre.
 
I don’t think anyone on Earth had previously compared Josh Allen to RGIII because it’s so incredibly dumb but here we are.
 
We didn't take advantage of any of those things you listed, from boneheaded plays to bad decisions, so yeah, we beat ourselves.

We beat ourselves vs Miami, Dallas & Indy; Barfalo marched up & down the field the entire game, doing what they wanted whenever they wanted to do it… I have less confidence that we would’ve won had we reduced or even eliminated our mistakes on offense than I did after the three losses above.
 
Bills will choke when the time comes. Last week was their superbowl. The game where they proved everyone wrong about a couple weeks ago when everyone gave them **** about not stopping the run. Death, Taxes, and the Bills choking. 3 things you can count on.

Namath is the most overrated of all time and its not particularly close. Look up his stats. More INTs than TDs.

I agree they will choke, but Allen makes them a different animal. He's a top 5 QB in this league, hungry, has a chip on his shoulder, and hasn't figured out yet that Buffalo is probably one of the worst markets to spend your career in. Once they lose a few more time in the playoffs and he starts looking around the league at what he could have elsewhere, then they're done. Until that happens, that dude is unique in Bills history. They've never had a QB like him, ever.

So best case scenario hes like Donovan McNabb in his prime. Allen is excellent. But that organization is cursed.
 
Nah. Bro he has a big arm. HIs ability to scramble is icing on the cake. His claim to fame is that he has the biggest arm in NFL. And yeah having a big arm matters - he can make any throw in any situation for any depth.

I said this before about Mac Jones. The reason he fell is 100% about his arm and 0% about his scrambling. Jones is not a threat to take it to the house. But if there is an opening he can easily run for a first down. His running ability is just above bottom tier - but perfectly serviceable for an NFL QB. Defenses won't scheme for Mac Jones running - but like a Baker Mayfield he can run for a fist down.

If Jones had an arm like Lawrence, Rodgers, Allen - not only would he have gone #1 - he would have been known as a generational pick and projected to outplay many of the greats.
LOL thinking about Brady running the ball

Tom's really good at the sneak though
 
Can anyone tell me how in the world they took away that Matt Ryan TD?

I have no idea whatsoever.
