Locomark Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 FYI-----Jim Kelly threw for under 60% in 8 or his first 16 games and that's after 3 years of professional football in the USFL...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse Nuts Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 NoHuddleKelly12, you took the words right out of my keyboard. They got the right one in that Josh Allen guy. I don't care what his shortcomings on the field may or may not be, they got the right one this time. Of that, I am absolutely certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Wont let me upload the screenshot but it blew my mind that first time giving a ball away cost almost 6k and second time is 12k. How does that improve the brand? $150 ball to create a hardcore life long fan isnt worth it to the brand? That garbage makes me hate the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't launch the ball into the stands because Josh Allen throws 70mph and can literally kill someone 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took John Elway 10 years to hit the 60% barrier for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If he scores a game winning TD this year he has to try to throw the ball out of the stadium. It’s too perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If he runs it in tomorrow for the go ahead score late in the 4th, he will throw it out, if he is in the right end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 While I'm not sure it's the ONLY reason, one reason the NFL doesn't like balls being thrown into the stands is, each team only brings a limited number of balls. I'm not saying 2-3 balls are going to make a difference. But there are a finite number (as well as being a separate pool of kicking ball). If it became a real thing/trend---well, they could be buying back balls from the stands. Yes, they COULD just supply more balls for every game. Sheesh, with the money this game makes. But I think that's one reason why it's OK to give them (and even toss them, I think*) after the game. * I don't know what the rule is. But I've seen players gently toss (short distance) balls on occasion, after the game. Never heard about any fines for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention this, I recently stumbled across the NFL Operations site, gives a lot of back ground info, including that each team provides 24 balls per game.... https://operations.nfl.com/updates/the-game/preparing-the-footballs-for-nfl-games/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
