Read the article I shared...Allen is also the smartest person in most rooms. Those former Bills coaching staffs would have destroyed him just like they did Losman.

They developed Allen into the player he is today and Losman probably should be talked about in the same breath as Allen, and definitely as a cautionary tale.

Respectfully you don't know what you're talking about, and I didn't either until I read this article a few years back...JP Losman should have been elite, coaching broke him: https://theathletic.com/2537042/2021/04/23/ex-bills-qb-j-p-losman-didnt-let-his-disappointing-nfl-career-define-him-instead-he-found-his-calling-at-clemson/ " To some, Losman’s story is that of a first-round disappointment. The Bills drafted him No. 22 in the 2004 NFL Draft after Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger were already off the board. “J.P. had the arm talent to rank with those guys and maybe even a little better arm talent than some of them,” former Bills offensive coordinator Tom Clements said. “He was probably the most athletic of that group, too … I don’t know how others had him ranked, but we felt strongly he was within that group of players.” Yet seemingly from the start, Losman’s career was defined by adversity. He broke his leg in his first NFL training camp when he collided with Troy Vincent. That limited him to three games as a rookie. The next year, he was benched after five games, only for the coaching staff to turn back to him later in the year. By Year 3, he was on his second head coach. He had three offensive coordinators in five seasons. The 2006 season, Losman’s third, was the only chance he got to start 16 games. He threw 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and had the 11th-best quarterback rating in the league. But the Bills drafted Trent Edwards in the third round the following year. Losman’s early-season injury in 2007 led the Bills to bench him in favor of Edwards. By midseason, ESPN reported that players weren’t pleased that Losman, a team captain, was on the bench, and they thought owner Ralph Wilson Jr. wanted Losman benched so that he couldn’t hit his performance bonuses. “J.P. never had a fair chance,” former Bills vice president of player personnel John Guy said. “I’ll never forget his first day of practice and they were blitzing him every which way. I remember saying, ‘This isn’t the way to break in a quarterback.’” " ... Matt Hasselbeck thought he knew what to expect when the Seahawks brought Losman in for a workout in 2010. Then 35, Hasselbeck had seen plenty of former first-round picks in the second acts of their careers. Because he didn’t know Losman, he perceived him through bits and pieces of what he had read and heard online. “It was like, ‘Oh, that’s the guy that is tremendously talented, has the best arm you’ve ever seen, can run, has all the tools, but what’s his attitude like?’” Hasselbeck recalled. “That kind of stuff. That was sort of the vibe you got about him.” After the workout, John Schneider and Pete Carroll said Losman’s workout was one of the most impressive quarterback workouts they’d ever seen. Hasselbeck wondered what his intangibles were like. Everyone knew he had the talent. Almost immediately after Losman signed, Hasselbeck regretted ever questioning his attitude or intangibles. “I don’t even know if I could put a finger on just how much value he brought to our team,” Hasselbeck said. “I was 35 years old and whatever year that was for me playing. I’m older than my position coach, and my position coach is a very good coach. But I’m feeling like, wow, I’m really learning some valuable things from this third-string guy who I initially thought based on what I read on the internet, ‘This guy doesn’t have any intangibles that he’s bringing to the table.’ I couldn’t have been more wrong. He was incredible.” ... That wasn’t the only time Hasselbeck thought Losman would be a coach. He shared that opinion around the building and with friends in the league. The more he was around Losman, the more he realized whatever perception he had before the arrival in Seattle was way off base. “I think he’s been misunderstood,” Hasselbeck said. “He might just be smarter than everybody else. Sometimes when you’re smarter than the other people in the room it doesn’t work. If you have better ideas than the person in charge, and I don’t know who coached him prior, but it can feel threatening or like insubordination.”

Wow, you must have special powers of insight into knowing how things went down based on having no actual information...super powers Anyway, that's off topic, my comment was on how Allen would have been ruined by those coaching staffs, in the same way they ruined JP Losman. Losman would have been a top level qb if he played today, I'm sure of that.

Losman was arguably in a similar sphere as Allen physically and mentally...he was ruined by poor coaching, but don't let that get in the way of your narrative. The culture on those teams sucked, and they would have never developed Allen into what he is today.

He's been doing this forever...I read an article on smelling salts and nfl games years ago, let me see if I can find it. I think this was the article I had read: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/enterpriseSalts/ezekiel-elliott-clay-matthews-just-the-nfl-smelling-salt-users

I'd love to understand if it's a function of Allen not realizing the importance of gaining 10 more yards when you get to the 45 vs almost anywhere else on the field...the odds of a 48 yard fg vs a 58 yard fg going in is significant...like he needs to play some poker I think with someone like Phil Helmute to help explain pot odds I think. Maybe it's Dorsey too, but going for a big play when you're backed up makes sense...going for one when you're on the edge of field goal range doesn't...between the 45 and the 30, the goal in my mind is get to the 30 with as little risk as possible...then open the offense back up once you're in safe field goal range. That is the message I took from that video... it's not that the shotgun run plays are bad so much, it's that you have plays that work so much better for you to get from the 45 to the 30...that is when they should be running under center, do a playaction to force the defense to sprint backwards and then throw the check down short to get to the 30...imo

Starting field position is incredibly predictive of scoring points, so the defensive injuries are incredibly important context to understand why the offense might be struggling to score points.

Interesting, because I'm taking something different away from that video...Josh Allen needs to play with better situational awareness and when they get within 10 yards of field goal range he needs to start taking check downs and higher percentage plays to get into field goal range...I don't know it's the coordinators fault there if he's calling pass plays with open short options that Allen is passing up to go for chunk plays when situational football says you should focus on getting into field goal range first and then hopefully get to take a shot if your first down play gets you 8 yards instead of the expected 4 yards...get under center at that point and do a play action if you want to take a shot or run because you're averaging almost 5 yards a carry when running under center...that last part is on Dorsey I guess, but Allen not hitting short options, which is the Bills version of a run game that's on Allen imo

Madden 2005-2007 was amazing...it all started going to crap when they royally screwed up the transition to ps3 and Xbox 360. That said, even those versions weren't that great actual simulations...they were fun though

It predicts it, just doesn't guarantee it

My only defense is maybe they wanted to huddle up for 90 seconds plus to discuss it and they were going to take a time out anyway, and this gave them more time than a time out would, and a chance to keep a free time out.

I think on that 4th and 1, it was likely an RPO and Allen misread the defenders call a banjo coverage at the last second... think he was expecting a man coverage, which I would think throwing was the right read...I haven't seen what the line was doing on that play, if they were run blocking for a QB draw, but my guess a qb run was the second or third read on that play.

There's some packages in R that lets you do the scraping yourself (think it's still called nflscrapr, but there might be a newer version... not sure if they have something for python though.

Kyle Allen would be running the scout team offense in practice and I would imagine going to against the ones all the time anyway...

Utah Cougars, lol

They did a tour this summer, but I'm pretty sure I saw Punch Brother videos on YouTube with Watchhouse (formerly mandolin orange) and I'm pretty sure them with Sierra Hull also... but maybe that wasn't from this year. I'd never really listened to Nickle Creek before, but had listened to other stuff of theirs separately for sure...it was really good! I saw Sierra Ferrell open for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats in Raleigh a few weeks ago...I was literally third row center in the pit, she's so amazing! Nathaniel Rateliff was great too, but I've been wanting to see Sierra Ferrell for a few years now and that was amazing.

Admirable reason! Yeah, I saw them three nights in a row in Raleigh basically, had two nights off and then saw Phish in Wilmington for two nights...was 5 shows in 7 or 8 days and then I saw Nickle Creek in Raleigh the night after I got back from Wilmington...I think it ended up being six shows in nine nights (nice), where I didn't have to drive more than 20-30 minutes for four of them and the other was a quick vacation to Wilmington, which is one of my favorite cities on a Tuesday and Wednesday so airbnbs were cheaper a bit...I’ve never had it line up so nicely before for such big acts, but I was absolutely sore af for a bit after that! Lol, took a week off work, when I got back, people asked what I did for my time off, I was like saw 5 concerts and I'm going to another one tonight (I worked just that Friday and then was off for the weekend) Retiring and going around seeing live music though, that would be epic!

So good! I saw him three nights in a row back in July when he played three nights in a row just outside of Raleigh at a venue 20 minutes from my house...freaking have been to hundreds of concerts in my life, that was up there in terms of some of the most amazing live music I've seen, but also just the convenience was insane. They played that song I linked at one or the shows, and it's even better with Alex on the fiddle (that Red Rocks version was from a month or so before he joined the band)

Have they started getting plays in later in the play clock from what you have seen, after the 15 second helmet cutoff?

Was there any footage of them talking before the game?

It's more that he just says stuff that sounds kinda informed, but it's really just hot takes with no actual factual basis most of the time. Have you listened to truly informed football people giving their nuanced takes based on watching the all22 and their in depth knowledge of the team and nfl football at a scheme and strategic level or is this based on the broadcast or things other people are saying or calling in on their phones. Don't listen to skip Bayless either, I'm not at all suggesting you do! And you fan however you want, I'm just suggesting this is likely a very complex and nuanced subject and there are a lot of answers claiming it is very simple... that's a red flag

Any new word on this yet? Just reading the Anthony Richardson news and how his x-rays were negative also. All I'm saying is they better not trust allen if he says he's fine, he better be getting an MRI to be safe.

To be fair, I think he's more talking about how this would have looked against the chiefs in the playoffs if they played like this. I think he's missing the point that you're not likely beating the chiefs if you score 14 points
