Darnold
Allen

Outstanding set of QBs this season. I think Darnold might crash on Monday but that's by the by.

What I find interesting is the idea that 0 teams thought that Lamar wasn't worth 2 x first round picks.

The only reasonable explanation is that the owners to colluded to not offer him the fully guaranteed deal that he sought.

Just my opinion but Lamar Jackson would instantly completely transform 90% of the teams in the league to a contender. Similar to Josh Allen or pat mahomes overnight.

Oh absolutely. I agree, Jess.

We are in for some classic game next week. Bills Ravens. Wow. That's a great matchup. Josh Allen has thrown 40 or more tds 5 straight years? Incredible.   

Love how the Bills get everyone involved and that translates in practice and preparation. Once again, Lamar is going to be judged on playoff performance. Fascinating matchup.

Took seven years.

The seven year version of Josh against the rookie Nix. Let's see how Bo looks in six years. Everybody funny. Now you funny too.

You misunderstand. I'm not criticizing Nix at all. Just don't get the fawning over him based off the game at that point.

That's because nobody is fawning over one game. This seems to be an issue with Giants fans - rushing to judgement over a tiny sample. I'm not dogging you out, posters were doing it with CJ Stroud and Bryce Young this year.

It appears young players can't have teething problems in the first couple of years.

To circle back to Nix, also consider this:

Dominating Bills performance, 31-7, on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

Baltimore up next for the Bills in what should be a monumental matchup.

Peace!

Teething problems in the first couple of years? Absolutely fine.

Requiring six seasons of watching a player stink and paying him a boatload of money before finally admitting that he stinks? Not so much.

Terrible call on that fumble. What were they looking at?

Packers got screwed twice.   Fumble recovery and helmet hit .
Guess we know who NFL wants to win this one. The guy clearly had the ball on the ground after the fumble

Hold the ball like a loaf of bread, how much do you get paid?

Eight seconds in a clean pocket. What do you expect?
