Allen throws some picks but he also makes some throws like THAT. To make those types of throws you gotta be willing to gamble with throwing a pick.

He single-handedly lost that Jets game. Agreed that gunslingers are going to do what they do, for better or worse. Every so often, that "it's just 1 loss" has a way of counting at the end of the season.

He single handedly wins them some games too.

Anybody here old enough to remember Chris Colinsworth the player?

 

I have a hard time believing that guy was good at football.

Remember that underthrown bomb. If Burrow hits that one it's a TD and the Bengals are running away with this one. Might be the break the Bills needed.

Of course. Live by the sword and die by the sword. He isn't Winston level, but..

Nearly yards in 8 seasons. 4 1000+ yard seasons. 3 Pro Bowls. And keep in mind, passing/receiving stats weren't near back then what they are these days.

His career was cut short at 29 due to a bad ankle.

We Panthers fans really can't be critical of someone else's elite QB right now. It's just a really tone-deaf look.

Nah. But it will be something when the Dolphins win the East, and the AFC North snaps up 3 wildcards and the Bills get to sit at home in the snow and cold. It's just speculation though. For fun.

Miami:

0-3 vs teams .500 and better
6-0 vs teams lower than .500

Yeah, Miami hasn't beat a good team yet and they have really cooled off offensively. They might have peaked too early. They looked like world beaters in September but you don't win anything that matters in September.

For most teams, other than the Panthers of course, the season is only half over and lots could happen.

You're right, they could lose out.

Absolutely. The AFC is top heavy. In the past 10 wins would just about guarantee a playoff spot. 10 wins this year may just get you left out instead. It could be an interesting race down the stretch.

They could. They could win out. Or something in between. Very insightful.
