OT: Josh Allen will give the Bills their first Super Bowl
- Thread starter BSIT
- Start date
IF he stays healthy. I turbed it on for a few minutes. His coach should be fired for giving him the green light to run up 21 in the 4th and then not sliding at the end of the run.
What is crazy is he had zero D1 college offers so he went to a JC near his California home. He eventually received 2 D1 offers one from Eastern Michigan and other from Wyoming.
And didn't really do anything at Wyoming to indicate he could be this good. Guys with his lack of accuracy don't tend to improve on that in the NFL. Kudos to Buffalo for developing him.
On another note: the Rams better get a few things figured out. Three interceptions and seven sacks, Yikes! And it's not like their defense did a lot to stop the bleeding in the second half. That's not what you expect to see out of a Super Bowl champion.
Almost like Matt Stafford is the guy who we all thought he was in Detroit. Pretty good, but not great. Won't be able to carry a team for more than small stretches and holds on to the ball too long.
Defense was terrible on 3rd downs, Bills converted 9/10 attempts... that's an insanely lucky conversion rate.
I don't FULLY disagree....but he showed enough to go 7th in a QB flush draft. Can't teach the size, athleticism or big arm. Agree that most QBs as inaccurate as him stay that way because they just don't have it but Allen seems very teachable/coachable and professional in his improvement and approach to genuinely get better. Could find several QBs on rosters with similar intangibles....but couldn't find a group of guys that have the same drive. Teams that are successful have the ability to suss out which guys will work hard and treat professional football like a profession.
I still maintain that OBJ has the best raw physical skills of any WR in football and would be a sure fire HOF candidate....if he cared about football. Can't teach professionalism and a winning approach to football if somebody is not willing to learn.
Would not count out the Bengals if - and a big if - they've got that OL fixed during the off season
It will be interesting to see how their season plays out and if they implode only a year after putting chips all in for Super Bowl. Offensive line play was awful for them.
They were my pick last year beginning of the season, and they are my pick this year - so the smart money should not be on the Bills. 
After last year however, they better fix end-of-game play scenarios in all three phases.
Wole, I'm not sold on discount double check payday for the Packers, but they should be in the mix.
