To me, analytics in football is most useful for team building. How to allocate salary cap and stuff like that. On the field, it's tough... Baseball is perfect of analytics because it is basically a bunch of one-on-one matchups. Far fewer variables.

I think that conference is fine for them, generally. I'm saying that the actual talent on THIS TEAM, was FCS level. They were really bad and it made it hard on Allen.

A lot of these guys (Mike Schopp) don't even watch football. They look at numbers. In real life, I'm a numbers guy. To me, it's clear that football has too many variables to warrant the current worship of analytics.

In my opinion, the stats that made everyone hate him, were a result of his abysmal supporting cast at Wyoming. Most small, untalented schools, play other untalented schools, so stats are still relevant. Wyoming was playing out of their class. They had no talent, especially on offense (minus Allen of course). The interior oline was among the worst I have seen. Plus he played in a pro-style offense, so his stats suffered from that as well. Modern college offense lends itself to better stats, especially completion percentage. Another factor of playing at Wyoming... The stats guys hated Allen. The eyeball guys loved him. I'm with the later. If Allen played with better talent he would have went #1.

Really entertaining to see all the hype now. What he has showed so far with the Bills was clear as day on his college tape, at the combine, and at the Senior bowl. Kid is an IMMENSE talent with a reasonable chance to be special. He was surrounded by horrid talent at Wyoming. We got lucky, if Allen goes to a better school he goes #1 overall.

Didn’t you crush Allen pre-draft?

Darnold look really good to my eye. That accuracy on the move is scary. Has great footwork as well. i think this is an epic QB class. Allen and Darnold will be battling for years to come.

Generally you don’t improve ball tracking, you either have that ability or you don’t.

It's a silly point because on 4th down an incompletion is as bad as a pick. Of course any pick could be returned for a TD, but you live with those chances when you commit to going for it on 4th down.

I think he was trying to make a play and get it to someone, but it got tipped up in the air. An incompletion in that scenario is the same as a turnover.

Anyone know when season ticket holders get the code for free GamePass? It sucks that we don't get it right away. I want to start going through the games but I really don't want to buy it if I get it for free.

But it was 4th down... Did you want him to throw it away? I have no problem with him trying to make a play there.

Wow, Carolina really wants to win this one... CJ Anderson, Samuel, Moore all playing in the 4th...

Go Nate! Light it up!

Just for that, I hope you sit on those extra long balls of yours!

I agree! Posters should shift their outrage to the real culprit here, the OP!

There is news. Astrobot tweeted that Beane's not done! Connect the dots... Time to order your Mack jersey

That’s the spirit!

We won't be favored for any of the first 4, but I doubt we lose them all.

Dabol should be used to this, he wasn't exactly coaching brainiacs last year...

Was he kicked out for practicing with the wrong team?

Kelvin is a monster on the field All he needs is an accurate QB who can place the ball up high or on the back shoulder. I think he's a top 5 redzone target. Only question I have is health, otherwise he's poised for a big year IMO.

I was actually impressed wit the coverage. They were knowledgeable about our team, which is rare with the National guys

And he singled out Adolphus as a camp standout... nice job Joe B

It’s crazy. Many people actually draw conclusions based on all the written reports- I think that is nuts. It’s great to have the content, but I wait to see it with my own eyes in the preseason games before forming a strong opinion.
