Murray will be among 17 quarterbacks at the College Football 25 Combine, together with Dwayne Haskins, and Drew Lock -- the two other quarterbacks to be selected in the first round of Dan Kadar's most recent mock draft.
Well, that was enjoyable, wasn't it? "Super Wild Card Weekend was a very similar experience to Wild Card Weekend ... however, it was SUPER! Everything is more fun when you add "Super" in front of it. Check out: Mario Bros., Nintendo man, and bowl. Sorry, I'm unable to College Football 25 Coins keep up this facade. It was all a ploy by College Football 25 to make more money, so congrats I'm guessing.
We definitely didn't have to see the Buccaneers blow out in the Eagles in a rout, or watch the Chiefs defeat the Steelers for three hours of broadcasting an ode towards Ben Roethlisberger -- but we did and it was the least entertaining part over the course of the week.
The more you have, the less. The four game weekend format was already perfect. The two NFC and two AFC symmetry was there and it was wonderful. Now we're pushing this whole thing into Monday, with an unbalanced three game Sunday. I'm aware that fighting the machine isn't a practical venture, but I hope that players get some benefit from the next CBA of having to put themselves on the line for an extra week of regular-season play, as well as an additional playoff game.
So, let's not waste anymore time pondering why this weekend went down instead take a look at what amazing things happened.
There were many major winners in the quarterback position this week, but none more in the league than Josh Allen. Beyond the astonishing stats it was far more about the statement Allen stated on his Saturday over anything else.
It's not a bad thing, generally, I don't like the idea of the term "statement sport." The term is used to describe buzzword sport phrases we come up with for narrative's sake, but don't really represent the reality of the players playing the game. They don't really care about "statements," they operate in order to win. They move on to win again, and repeat.
However, the impact of Bills vs. Patriots is massive. It's big during the regular season and huge in the playoffsnot even taking into consideration the wild card. This is a rivalry forged through a battle, and the first stoked with the anger of decades in the Bills playing second. A year ago we were talking about the shifting of power in the division as it moved to Buffalo, and that turned to the other side in 2021 when it became clear New England was far from dead.
At times, it appeared as if the Bills were heading back to wait for their turn. The Patriots surged by bringing in Mac Jones midseason as the Bills floundered, then Buffalo returned to form as New England regressed. The playoffs were an all-or-nothing affair. The door was closed the very first day.
Buffalo didn't just beat the Patriots but they also wiped them out and that was due to Allen's perfect game. This is why the Bills were so confident in extending him the last offseason with a huge contract. If you're able beat those Patriots at Cheap CFB 25 Coins home in the playoffs that's the perfect sign that things are changing.
The most impressive thing about Allen's game is the amount of different weapons he employed through the air. Allen completed 21 passes nine different receivers, displaying the variety of his passing game that's was missed so many times this year.
