    BR: "Josh Allen: Throwing velocity analysis"

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by RobbRiddick

    Not many people know this but 2 years ago Josh Allen's girlfriend was tragically killed in a car accident. Unable to live without her, Josh threw a football so hard and with such velocity that it left the earth's atmosphere and travelled continuously around the globe, causing time to travel backwards and bringing her back to life.

    I Bet $5,000 on Minnesota. Should I Be Worried?

    Living in Vegas, betting is kind of a way of life.

     

    About 10 years ago, I started betting against all 3 of "my" teams on a regular basis(Michigan basketball, Detroit Tigers, and Bills.)

     

    For me, it's a great way to alleviate stress. I don't feel compelled to do it with the Tigers anymore because they have no expectations and the same goes for the Bills. And it really wouldn't work in this kind of situation for the Bills because they're huge dogs. There is no money betting Minnesota ML and laying 17 means that my team could lose AND I'd lose the bet.

     

    It's perfect when my teams are favored in a relatively important game. I'll take the plus money against them and go cash a ticket if they piss me off.

     

    I'm "lucky" I'm cursed with such disappointing teams. They've lost a combined 10 STRAIGHT championship games. That's pretty damn hard to for three unrelated teams!

    I bet on the Pats in the last SB. For sort of the same reason. I was so dreading them winning another one that I wanted to get something out of it. 

     

    It was the best money I ever lost.

    Will tonight’s game delay Darnold’s HOF ceremony?

    I get that we're supposed to hope everyone fails except the Bills (especially AFC East teams) but don't you all think it would be cool if Mayfield, Rosen, Allen and Darnold all joined Mahomes and turned out to be great franchise QBs? Now that the likes of Brady, Brees, Rogers and Big Ben are on the edge of retirement I want to see some great new blood in the league and all the rivalries that come with that. 

     

    I loved Kelly's twice yearly duels with Marino - the fact that they were trying to outdo one another probably raised their games. Look forward to more of it with Allen and Darnold each season.

    Are Mcdermott and Beane the worst group to run the bills since pollian ?

    My take on some of the guys who have run it is:

     

    Donahoe - flashy guy but, as Paulie once said of Tommy, "he's a cowboy, he's got too much to prove". He got us Spikes and Milloy etc. but also drafted JP and McGahee. It was like he was always trying to show how smart he was.

     

    Marv - love him but from my memory (all the **** through the drought sort of fades together in the end) he was pitiful in the front office. Certainly no Coughlin. Marv drafted Donte Whitner when EVERYONE, even people like me whose knowledge of college football could be written on the back of a "How to inspire teammates - by Vontae Davis" pamphlet, were yelling for them to pick Haloti Ngata.

     

    Russ Brandon - erm, wasn't he responsible for drafting Maybin? 

    Book claims Brady feels "trapped" and wants out, Bellichick feels...

    I'm sure Kraft gets someone in his team to release these rumours, just so the Pats can do their usual pulling together and fighting against adversity act. It's annoying because it always works. 

     

    Until Belichick does a Buddy Ryan and punches Brady in the face I don't believe a word of it

    Retarded. Tom Brady is the best QB of a generation and would win a SB with any team, provided he had a coach that would implement the system Brady wants, of course he inst an RPO QB, would you WANT him to be?.

     

    He is a stone cold killer with blood in his veins, BB has nothing to do with that. Silliness. Both are great, but Brady has proven what he can do with less then perfect and with stars. He is so absurdly accurate and rarely makes the big mistake. His release is absurd and he is a physical freak to play the way he does at his age. I love how the one Cassell year means that BB can do it with anyone.

     

    BB is great and would ALSO be successful.

     

    TOGETHER they are UNSTOPPABLE. (almost)

    Their success is 50/50 as far as I'm concerned. They're both led by the need for perfection and the almost sociopathic need to dominate. 

     

    I have to say, as far as Belichick is concerned, on the one hand I hate him, but then I see him talking on episodes of A Football Life or 30 for 30 and I think he isn't so bad really. He seems to have a lot more personality when he's talking about former players or coaches that he admires, and his knowledge of the game is obviously second to none. 

     

    It wouldn't surprise me if he went into the media in some capacity when he retires, at least for a few years until he gets bored, and I think if he does he'll surprise some people and they'll actually start to quite like him.
