OT: Stefon Diggs Not Present in Buffalo

[crawhammer]

you realize, by this time in his career Mark Sanchez went to more AFCCGs than Allen and Jackson combined?

I guess Rex Ryan wasn't the buffoon some Pats Fans like to remember. Rex also has a great take on the Patriots dynasty.

sure they have great numbers, look great on the field... yet both have crap out when it was all on the line

Allen has 1 bad playoff game out of 8. Heading into this postseason he had 14 TDs and 1 INT. He obliterated Belichick's defense before lighting up the Chiefs at Kansas City in the 2021 AFCCG... he couldn't have played any better. He's rushed for over 400 yards with an additional 3 non-passing TDs. He's hardly crapped out in the playoffs.

Allen's 27 and Lamar's 26... each will have many more postseason opportunities. If Allen continues to play as well as he has in the postseason then he will be competing in Super Bowls. Lamar looks like he's finally getting a requisite supporting cast so we'll find out if that pays off in the postseason... I'm betting yes.

I'm not sure what you consider as bad, but he was at least below average in 2019 vs Houston where he completed only 52% of his passes with no TDs, and although he ran for 92 yards he fumbled twice. He was also below average vs Cincy last year completing less than 60% of his passes with an interception. The Bills lost both games.

 

[Zuma]

I have to believe most players around the league look at Diggs as a total doofus. He got the Benjamin contract and his QB is a good one. He should shut his cake hole.

 

[Ross12]

So as long as they're exchanging "time" for an explosive play, it works. Margin for error is a lot bigger too.

This is a great way of explaining it in simple terms, nice job. Cool way of thinking about it.

1 bad playoff game out of 8? so his record is 7-1 then, in the playoffs?

Oh wait

See its **** like this that screams "Fantasy Football Taught Me Everything"

Time flies... 27 becomes 30 awfully quick... then 35... and you know, they said the same thing about Marino and Super Bowls...

Maybe it’s related to this. I mean, who knows?

I play fantasy football. I learned the game of football well before that.

You're wrong. Games are won on the scoreboard. You have to move the football to score. Yards leads to points and enough points leads to wins.

Josh Allen has 38 rushing TDs since entering the league, which is 12 more than the next QB. Overall he's 9th with a bunch of stud RBs in front of him. His running game is huge for the Bills.

Since 2018 Allen is second only to Mahomes with 176 combined passing and rushing TDs.

Allen is the second most valuable player in the NFL and unfortunately he'll be putting it in New England's face for the next decade. Say hello to shoe on other foot.

I think Allen runs too much.

 

[Triumph]

I think Allen runs too much.

Even with his size, Allen has been taking a beating.

Its a losing philosophy to let the Franchise be exposed to more physical abuse.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

This is a great way of explaining it in simple terms, nice job. Cool way of thinking about it.

Thanks. Thats how I think if the QB position. I think the barter system is a good example bc everything is a trade off with rewards & consequences, right?

You sacrifice and make trade offs with the defense, specifically pressure. You check it down for comp% or moving and sacrifice ypa or yards per target or we. You'll hold onto the ball longer and accept sacks or pressure for an explosive play.

The great ones can handle all the obstacles. Brady, Manning and AR to a slightly lesser degree. Than you'll have guys who are good or great in certain areas but will take a tremendous amount of sacks or live with check downs.

Definitely a game within a game. And a lot of mental gymnastics depending on which DC or defense you're facing.

 

[Vindicate]

It's a not a "must" but it's important and has real effects on a defense. Now you're starting to see more "complete" products that can do everything but the position has definitely been trending this way for a while.

I am astonished that defensive players today can keep a mental tally of everything they need to these days, from DB's having to play with incredible technique to not draw a flag, to schemes where decision making includes knowing when to drop back, keep an eye on the QB, read pre-snap, play disciplined so coverage doesn't break down on a drawn-out play, etc. - it's wild.

 

[crawhammer]

I'm not sure what you consider as bad, but he was at least below average in 2019 vs Houston where he completed only 52% of his passes with no TDs, and although he ran for 92 yards he fumbled twice.

Allen also caught a TD pass in that playoff game. He had some big plays with his run game, his passing numbers were mediocre but they got conservative after getting up 16-0. He only lost 1 fumble, no picks. Overall not what I would consider a bad game.

He was also below average vs Cincy last year completing less than 60% of his passes with an interception.

That was his one bad playoff game. Not sure what was going on there but he and the rest of the team were a complete no-show. Apparently Diggs is still pissed about it.

no, he was a buffoon... but your Anti-Patriot side is showing again there Buffalo Blue

Buffalo Blue? We were talking about Sanchez and the Jets. Rex got to two consecutive AFCCGs with Sanchez, which considering how bad of a quarterback he was, that's pretty impressive. They beat the Patriots (in a poorly coached game by BB) and then almost wiped out 0-24 deficit against Pittsburgh in the 2010 postseason. Look, Rex isn't a great head coach but he did pretty good with trash at quarterback... 4 seasons with Sanchez, 2 with Geno (who was even worse than Sanchez), and finally 2 with Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo.

Was Brady bad in Super Bowl 52? You don't win every game you play well in. After handing Belichick the worst playoff loss of his career, Allen was nearly perfect in the AFCCG. Allen gave the Buffalo defense the lead twice with under 2 minutes left in the game... the second time with only 13 seconds left. Fantasy football?? WTF are you talking about? Did you even watch these playoff games?... because it seems like no. One playoff game he played poorly, his last, and that's it.

Time flies... 27 becomes 30 awfully quick... then 35... and you know, they said the same thing about Marino and Super Bowls...

Marino is a rare exception, he's one of only a very few all time great quarterbacks without a ring. He also doesn't have to look very far for someone to blame... he was bad in the majority of his postseason games.

Brady played poorly in a lot more than one playoff game. His stats were average in at least half his super bowls for starters (see both SBs against the Rams and Giants and the first one against the Eagles). Then look at the games against the QBs in my signature. You continue to live in this fantasy world where you think everything Brady touches turns to gold.

Then on the most critical plays of the game it gets harder and the best separate themselves from the pack

LOL! Brady's 2-0 against your boy. Brady's the greatest postseason QB in the history of the NFL. Brady's the greatest Super Bowl QB in the history of the NFL (6 GWDs in 7 wins).

I can't see your signature, don't want to, but that doesn't matter, you keep on dissing the GOAT. His track record speaks for itself... 3 of 4 SB championships in first 4 seasons with the Patriots, then another SB championship in his first season with the Bucs. That's the definition of turning everything you touch to gold.

It matters when the discussion point is individual player performance.

See my PM to you. If he turned everything to gold, he would have performed better in the SBs I mentioned. But as always, you'll blame Belichick. 1 touchdown pass when an undefeated season is on the line is not "turning everything into gold."

My eyes literally rolled into the back of my head...

YES! Tell me all about it how great the individual players were in a super bowl loss and I'm all ears ... /S

But I'm sure it's all good, someone some place got their fantasy points

Oh, so he's had a better rate of good performances in the big stage than the guy in your avatar who has been below average in two out of the three Super Bowls he played in. Also Brady played well in the first Eagles Super Bowl.

This is your original comment...

Josh and Lamar... two of the greatest...

You're saying Allen sucked when it counted most. I'm correcting you because your comment is inaccurate. In the 2021 postseason Allen completed 77.4% of his passes with 9 TDs, 0 INTs, a 149.0 passer rating, and he scored 83 points in two games. Twice he gave his defense the lead with under 2 minutes in the AFCCG and twice they blew it in spectacular fashion. Allen's "crapped out" factor in this game was at 0%.
