Malfatron Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 4 minutes ago, lancerman said: It’s not a dumb rule. A team shouldn’t get the benefit of an extra timeout because their player got hurt. Even if it’s incidental it’s the opposite of a delay of game. There has to be something to offset the damage it does to the offense trying to run out the clock. Resetting and winding the play clock and game clock is an appropriate compromise. Stop the play clock/game clock, and remove the player, and restart the game/play clock. its like a pause. thats too common sense for the nfl to do that though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of reminds me of those threads back in 2014 when people were wondering if Brady was done. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong question. Am I supposed to believe a Belichick team is going to be the first to field a SB contending rookie? Possible, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it. I know nobody else in the AFC looks particularly impressive but come January I am betting an offense can play well enough vs NE that Mac is forced into uncomfortable territory, and struggles. I hear you, but coming into this game they were averaging 35 PPG over the 6-0 streak... this offense can put up points. I wouldn't read too much into tonight. Josh Allen just played his *** off and threw for 145 yards. Obviously they're treating Mac with kid gloves when they can but he's been more than capable when called upon to carry the offense. We'll see what happens in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl4life07 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) How do you lose a game like this? The Bills are at home, have the better roster, the opposing QB is a rookie who isnt equipped to play in weather conditions like the one in Buffalo thus him only throwing the ball 3 times AND you hold the opponent to 14pts like Buffalo did? Buffalo supposed to have an MVP candidate at QB. Allen got paid to win games like these. The only thing I think of is just like last season when the Pats beat the Ravens in the pour rain, this game suit the Pats in terms of running the ball a ton. The Bills cant run so they had to throw. Again this is why the Bills drafted Allen and paid him all this money. He has a big arm to throw in these conditions and he shouldve look like an MVP candidate and the Bills coming into this game literally as the AFC favs to get to the Superbowl. You have to find a way to win this game and the Bills once again came up short. I have to say the Pats winning this game shows that yes you can say they are the best team in the AFC. Now I still want to see what they do against the Colts and they play the Bills again but right now I have no argument. The Bills keep stumbling, the Ravens are legit frauds at the top due to injuries and Lamar playing bad, the Titans dont have Henry and both their top receivers so they are starting to crash, the Chiefs are on a win streak but the only legit team they beat as of late was a Cowboys team that wasnt even at half way full strength as and even in their win streak the offense still looks off. Dont get me started about the up and down Chargers and Bengals. So the Pats are right where they need to be and thats at the top of AFC playing great football. I dont think they will get to the Superbowl with Mac Jones right now bc I cant think of a rookie QB taking his team to the Superbowl but the Pats will be a team that will scare alot of teams in the playoffs especially if the road to the Superbowl has to go through New England.

bigbadbuff Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Allen was a solo act tonight. I still cannot believe he dropped the ball in a bucket to Diggs in the end zone and he dropped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Rider Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 So the whole idea of loading the box and forcing a rookie QB beat you is going to be pretty hard to pull off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it was very well-coached, but one of the best ever, are you kidding me? Yeah and they also scored literally 1 touchdown, on a completely busted play, and repeatedly failed to convert big opportunities on offense. Meanwhile the defense held Josh Allen & co. to 10 points, all from a muffed punt and BS personal foul. I know the conditions were brutal but give credit where it is due. Offense didn't win this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They almost went 1 and done after that 15-1 season due to his play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
