I understand the 'low ceiling' argument to a point but I don't get the Mac Jones comparisons with Nix. Bo has a stronger arm, is more mobile and more accurate, and has an NFL body (which Mac is very sorely lacking). This guy has way more potential.

Looks like Denver is doing a lot of grappling on the OL, which is why Buffalo isn't coming close to him.

It is actually hilarious that every doink this season has missed except for KC's, which doinked and went in.

Mahomes magic.

Nix looks to be twice as quick in the pocket. I don't see a comparison. Mac invited sacks

Remember when Sean Payton was suspended for a season because his team was deliberately injuring players?

Weird that never gets mentioned while Nantz and Romo figuratively fondle his weiner all game.

Well, they are both playing against Buffalo in a wild card game in their rookie season.

Those three would have been on Hardo and that dumb TO @ 2:23 instead of letting the clock run to the two-minute warning.

I’m more worried about Hardo than Allen on that front. I could see him blinking in some key game management situations. Payton, by contrast, won’t.
I'm less worried about Allen than just about everybody else on the Bills, I don't him being the reason they lose this year.

The NFL had become a massively pass-heavy league, but it's starting to tilt back to rushing being super important.

Baltimore threw 21 times for 175 yards, and ran 50 times for 299 yards yesterday.

As of this moment, Buffalo has thrown 13 times for 94 yards, and run 26 times for 162 yards.

Even Houston ran more times (34) than they passed (33).

2 years ago KC: 651 pass attempts, 5,062 yds, 417 rushes, 1,970 yds
Last year KC: 635 pass attempts, 4,188 yds, 417 rushes, 1,784 yds
This year KC: 600 pass attempts, 3,780 yds, 450 rushes, 1,790 yds

Philly runs a ton. Detroit runs a ton.

Running the ball is back, and it's back big, baby.
