NFL Films - Josh Allen throws up before every game but still calls it “the best job in the world”

Not uncommon at all.

 

Dick Vermeil used to puke before games.

[blacklabel]

Jim Kelly used to do that as well. Darryl Talley would say they couldn’t take the field until they heard Jim calling up the dinosaurs. And then Jim said as his career went on, he wouldn’t get as nervous and sometimes he’d have to fake it just to get the guys out of the locker room lol. 

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Kelly did too IIRC

[nedboy7]

I hope I dont have to during the game tomorrow. 

[LabattBlue]

I wonder if he puked after the game?

Not sure if Kelly was throwing up due to nervousness however.

Here’s the back story for Jim Kelly’s experiences with the same thing…

This is awesome. Never knew puking was a thing.

Is it concerning that 20% of the players on this list played for or currently play for the Bills? 

[TheFunPolice]

there's no way that's healthy...

 

Hopefully he eventually calms down as he gets more playing experience 

[BigDingus]

I've been puking watching recent games, and I still love the team, so hah, I win!

[ALLEN1QB]

I usually throw up after his games

[SirAndrew]

Nerves and anxiety are part of our existence. Many times those feelings are productive, but things like this always sound like a bit much to me. I’m not an expert, so I’m not sure where healthy nerves cross the line to something more, but I just wish Josh could chill. I’ve always been under the belief that calmness prevails in life and battle. 

 

[FilthyBeast]

I think part of this goes with Allen's maturity level as a young adult which just isn't there yet but hopefully will change over time.

[LyndonvilleBill]

I don't puke, but I sure gag sometimes reading posts during the GDT.🙄

[DallasBillsFan1]

This is interesting.  Josh does seem to get flustered when the pressure is on (heavy blitzes).  He may need a sports psychologist to help him think through the game in a different way.

I saw that movie too

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

 

 

[Big Turk]

Sounds like what Jim Kelly said in his book...did it prior to every game

[Bing Bong]

I did as well when I played (different sport)

 

In your head there's so many good or bad things that could happen in the next hour or so. Of course by the end of the game you're wondering what you possibly could have been so worried about.

 

I remember it never got any better with experience for me

teammate in HS basketball did it prior to each game too.

Kelly had throat cancer correct? I hope throwing up those acids all the time doesn't have some sort of link to that. Nerves are Def real though. 

[BillsFan4]

 

love that he threw in a classic “the office” quote 😂

 

though what he was describing isn’t superstition... 

[HOUSE]

I have a marketing idea

[hemma]

I wonder if he has contests with Davis Webb.

[TBBills]

I have puked also... unrelated  to playing in games though.

I don't think he can help it when he's asked that.

No we do that 

[JoshAllin]

Damn, that's gonna wreck his teeth

[Sharky7337]

Lately I have thrown up after every game watching them.

[DocLawless]

Bet he pukes a whole lot more before the games in which he hears Cody Ford is starting 

[YoloinOhio]

Not sure about all the “nerves” comments…?  he clearly says he’s not nervous and that it is to get rid of mucus.

He said he does it to clear the mucus (has he heard of blowing his nose?).  Not because of nerves.  Strange.  I know that he said before he won't eat before a game on game day unless it's a night game so he's basically throwing up stomach acid if anything.

He needs to increase his Sinatra pregame ritual. It's common for players to yak before a game.

[MJS]

I can count the number of times on one hand that I've puked, in my entire life. It's basically my least favorite thing in the world. I hate it. I can't imagine doing it on a weekly basis.

I'm sure he uses mouthwash after and gis teeth will be just fine.

[Just Jack]

Heck, Donovan McNabb would throw up during games...
