I meant to start one last weekend and forgot. Good games so far. Broncos advance but then get bad news on Nix...

Buffalo had a player to get a flag during the OT. Even with Nix out I still can't pull for the Broncos.

I thought they got flag happy in OT, especially compared to non-OPI call against Denver when Buffalo was driving for the game winning TD. And I don't have any love for either team, but Josh Allen looked spastic on some plays and while he made some big throws, he also did some dumb stuff and missed some easy throws. Sooner or later, he's gonna have to get a SB or as good as he is, it's going to impact how his career is viewed (rightly or wrongly)... and that window only stays open so long for each franchise.

I think Ricky makes a good point here.

Agree with you on both accounts

Agree on Allen. That sloppy fumble before the half with 2 seconds left was inexcusable. He was running with the ball in his hands like a loaf of breads (as my dad would have said). Gave them 3 points that turned out critical in the end. He was not securing the ball very well for a seasoned QB.

Man Stroud is absolutely terrible. Houston needs a QB in the worst way. This is like the Browns. Great defense, awful offense

 

[PurlJam]

C.J. Stroud is Houston's weak link.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

You guys (and others) are way too hard on Stroud, IMO.

Well…..

Not gonna put that one on him. WR should have caught it. It was high but the guy should have caught it. But anyway you slice it, he has 6 turnovers in the playoffs.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Well…..

The Texans can lose 48-10 and I'll stand by what I said. I'm not saying he's playing elite football right now, but he's a top half QB in the league. And far, far from being terrible. But I get it, I see it all the time in game threads and elsewhere... there is no in-between anymore... you're either elite or you're trash. And it's always based off the last 5 minutes of plays, not the last 5 years, or months, or even weeks.

I don’t disagree. I was more amused with the timing. I read that & boom pick 6

 

[PurlJam]

Dude. We're way past the 5 minute mark.

 

[PurlJam]

If it makes it any better. I see Josh Allen in the same way. He's 0-7 in O.T. 0-3 in playoff O.T.s and has some really stupid turnovers.

It certainly doesn't make your argument any better since Allen is a top 5 NFL QB, playoff issues aside.

Not an argument. Basing it off reality. Personally I like Allen and Stroud, but they play football, it gets to the point where they can either perform at a Super Bowl level or not. To date, neither has proven they can.
