Sure would be nice to have a QB that could use his legs like Allen.

Assuming Buffalo is going to win but wanted to point out that Cody Barton is sitting in the middle of the best defense in the league this year.

Like, dude had issues but was never remotely close to as bad as some people seemed to think.

Also, Buffalo should have gotten the flag on that scuffle, not Denver. That was weird.


Still rooting for Buffalo, though. Only real NY team.

Barton was and is a very limited player and was a big part of the problem here and in Washington - he's a replacement level guy, which for the top of professional sports is never really bad, but not really good to his peers either

Buffalo can forever burn, although they should unfortunately take this one

Looks to me like his foot touched out of bounds before he had complete control over the ball. Not sure about enough to overturn the call on the field but I don’t think it was a TD there.

Limited I agree (very, though?), but our defense was significantly worse the year he left, WAS's defense is better this year but still pretty bad--started the year basically as bad as they finished last year but have improved to be just outside of the bottom 10, and he's literally starting LB on the best defense in the league right now (unfortunately, had to go on the road against the best team in the AFC in the Wild Card round, so they're going home shortly).

Saying he was a 'big part' of the problem seems like a continuation of the exaggerations I mentioned about how bad he is. He was a limited LB asked to do way too much on a very bad defensive scheme. He was a part of the problems, yes, but not a 'big' part or even a uniquely important part.


As for Buffalo burning... not sure about that. Nico Collins is coming off like an ass in this game, though.

CAN
This game was sealed when Sean Payton started yelling at his receiver on the sidelines.
Can anyone say "toxic workplace?"
