That Samuel injury is pretty bad for them. They're going to be giving snaps to some really marginal players now.

Let’s trade them Skyy, and Toney. Burt can sell person of Hispanic heritage on having 3 WR with multiple SB rings for their stable.

I think this is the year Allen's reckless playing style starts landing him on the sidelines for a couple of games.

That type of thing takes a toll on guys physically. Could this be the year it bites him a little bit? I think so. |

If they're smart, they get really heavy into ground and pound inside the 10 yard line. Allen just never has had the ball placement to operate well in the gold zone. I don't believe he truly got a ton better in that regard - Dabol just worked around it. Ball placement has always been a weakness for him and it surfaces most in short areas where you have higher risk and lower reward. Now put that in an enclosed space like G2G scenarios and your windows are all the smaller and the arm strength doesn't play up anymore. They need to stop playing like I do in Madden when I'm trying to build up a young QBs stats. Just hand the damn ball off and finish your drives. You have a solid RB. Take the mileage of your QB (and stop asking him to do something he's not good at with the short area throws) and use the expendable legs/back of your RB. |

You're talking about fans who sincerely believe Josh Allen is equal to or better than Mahomes.

Allen isn't as crafty or decisive or instinctive as Mahomes, but he also is a physical sledgehammer who can bulldoze straight ahead for 3-5 yards. Kincaid, like Kelce, is not a physically dominant, move-your-ass-out-of-the-way in-line blocker, but he is effective enough to work in that action, where if he gets a solid piece of a guy it's enough to give Allen space or let Cook get to the opposite side or, if the blocker ignores him, slide to the flat as a pass option. But hopefully he continues to try to use Allen down there like he used Drew Brees. That won't work and will minimize his effectiveness. |

I think that's basically what they started doing after they fired their first OC last season. Allen rushed for 15 TDs in 2023, up 8 rushing TDs from the previous season, 6 more than in 2021. Yeah, after checking out PFR, Allen was averaging about 8 rushing TDs/season, then last season he nearly doubled that number. They're letting Josh off the leash and letting him run whenever he feels like it. |

"Oh not OUR guy. Our guy can take as many hits from LBs as we need him to. OUR guy will be just fine, even if every single QB who came before him that played like that ended up ground to a fine powder by the time they were 29..." Okay Buffalo - keep on keepin' on. Working okay for you in the regular season. We'll see how it turns out... |

Agreed. I like Shakir, but Rice is pretty clearly better. Worthy is better than Coleman. There's really not much ambiguity here.
