I'm a straight shooter. No idea what I could be twisting here. Also, "dumb things" that have nothing to do with this topic are irrelevant.

london_bills Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Allen appeared on Bills Pod Squad with Maddy Glab and Kim Pegula yesterday and commented on getting too hyped up before games and needing to calm himself down. "When I get amped up, I get so anxious and aggressive. I come out there and I just can't throw the ball right. So I literally have to try to calm myself down as much as possible because I'm so happy I get to play football." Many posters here have criticized me and others who have brought this up, said it was fake news, etc., so here you go. Concerns about Josh's readiness to handle a full stadium of amped-up fans are warranted and a very valid discussion point. Hopefully, he'll show that he's ready to overcome these concerns. It's one of the big changes he seems to have made, plays more cool to start the games. Speaking for myself, there was a time early on where I thought that's just who he was.

ganesh Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, RobbRiddick said: This isn't a huge deal. Other QBs have had this same thing, Favre and Elway come to mind. Maybe it's the strong armed guys that it affects more because they throw it so hard. I think that's why Allen likes to run early and get a little contact, just to knock the cobwebs off and get him into the game. The Steelers game will be a good barometer because it's game 1 and the crowd will be insane. Allen showed in the pre-season game that he has changed his mindset. He started very calmly taking what the defense gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: Stef said this when asked about being named a captain, and how he leads, that different players respond to different things. I believe he referenced that some guys need juice, others need “calmed down” like josh Cool thought. Man kinda sucks to be the guy in Josh's shoes. I'd guess 98% of the room hypes themselves like they're on PCP, which is a blast, and you gotta dodge most of that and reel it in. Talk about sacrifice! Keep the headphones on and the Elvis ready!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: At least people are admitting that he's talked about it. Most posters here like to pretend it's a non-issue. Here Allen is literally telling you that it's an issue, and people still want to shoot the messenger because they can't handle anything but blind positivity. I think you're creating a controversy so you can whine about it. Most posters here are aware of Allen talking about it. They're also aware that being initially too "amped up" was probably not a deciding factor in either home wins, or home losses back in 2019. I have not read anyone saying it's "fake news" The criticisms you have faced are for assuming 1) it's related to a full stadium at home and not just to "playing football" (which is what your Josh quote says - not that he's "amped up" by the home crowd, that he's "amped up" by getting to play football) 2) it will remain a problem after dramatically improving his abilities (and thus his confidence) as a QB 3) it affects the entire game 4) it's been a deciding factor in wins and losses 4 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I mean... he is a young man that is one of the best in the world at what he does and is living a childhood fantasy. He is playing around a bunch of others in the same boat in front of people that love and cheer for them. He plays around people he grew up admiring. Who the hell wouldn't be amped up? It will come with age. He is fine. There is also a balance to it. Too amped and you might get a little wild. Too calm and you might be flat.

Did he say ANYTHING about the crowd being a cause for his getting hyped before the game. ANYTHING? If not, your comment about the crowd remains unsubstantiated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I would expect by season 4 and with all the prime time games he has played, he has learned how to manage his pregame emotions at this point. Beane must think so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
