Josh Allen should change his jersey number


BringBackFergy

Recommended Posts

I like 17.  But if he ever goes near 11, just pack up the moving vans.  That number has serious issues.  Even once glorious Bills beginnings (Norwood, Bledsoe) have wound up in ruins.  What was Beasely thinking changing TO 11?

 

-Norwood (started the curse)

-Rob Johnson

-Bledsoe

-Roscoe Parrish

-T.J. Graham

-Zay Jones (Bloody naked Jesus fighting could only come from a curse)

-Cole Beasley (still hanging in there, but he is the one current Bill that needs an immediate number change). Get that 10 back on Cole before you cause some real damage.

I've been interested in numerology for some time.  I've studied how numbers affect our lives and thought I'd research how numbers may affect our team (especially JoshAllen). It might explain some of the problems he's facing and whether he will regress in the next few years.  My analysis indicates that Josh should, in fact, change his number.

 

https://www.mastermindcontent.co.uk/symbolic-meaning-of-the-number-17/

 

Relevant excerpts:

 

In the ancient world, the symbolic meaning of the number 17 was highly spiritual and represented love and peace – or sin and evil. If you fail to make the right decisions, as seen in number 16, you will continue to encounter obstacles. 

 

Significantly, 17 reduces to eight in gematria. This system was initially used by the ancient Babylonians and in alchemical traditions who state the eight is to where “knowledge of the Great Secret is attained.” 

 

In Shi’ite mysticism, seventeen was the number of dead bought back to life, an idea the ancient Greeks also believed. Essentially, the myth refers to resurrection.

 

Also:

Seventeen is the only prime number which is the sum of four consecutive primes (2,3,5,7). Any other four consecutive primes summed would always produce an even number, thereby divisible by 2 and so not prime. The sequence of residues (mod n) of a googol and googolplex, for n = 1, 2, 3, ..., agree up until n = 17.

 

 

Take it for what's it's worth, but there's a sound case for changing the number on his jersey.

 

 

 

With respect to the last point about 17 = sum of 4 consecutive prime numbers, I think that suggests JA will make up for the 4 losses with 4 consecutive Lombardis....

See my post immediately after your statement.

Guess we better not move the team to Italy.

 

"Number 17 is associated with the 17th card of that Major Arcana of the Tarot which is The Star. Coming after two highly materialistic cards in the series of the Major Arcana, The Devil and The Tower, The Star is like an oasis of spirituality that rejuvenates and restores the weary traveler on the journey of life."

 

From my 2 seconds of research, I think 17 sounds grand.

You know how when you hear terrible music or someone with a stupid annoying voice, and someone says, 'that wanted to make me take ice picks to my ears'. Well, reading some of these threads makes me want to take ice picks to my eyes. Hurry up April, we need you!!!

But everything you said wasn't worth much... so how is that a "sound case" at all?

 

You may as well have just said "when I was 17 I broke my toe... therefore Josh Allen should change his number."

 

It's equally random & just as relevant as what you actually presented.

He's jerking your chain, Einstein.

 

It never fails...triggering the community here with one of Fergy's threads is like stealing candy from a baby.

 

It's so disappointing.

Has anyone ever used the number 0?  That would be unique. IMO

 

I think players should be assigned their Wonderlic score for their jersey number.  If that number is already taken, then the new player would take the next highest available number on the team.

 

Example:  (Real names have been changed to protect players' identities):

 

Lamar Jaxxon scores a 4 on his Wonderlic.   When he reports to his new team, the "Mavens," jersey number 4 has already been taken by another genius teammate.  So they see if 5 is available ... nope.  Onto 6, 7, 8, etc. and finally, number 10 is available.

 

This means two things:  

 

1.  The Mavens will never be confused with Mensa.

2.  Lamar will wear #10.

Lamar will have whatever number his Mom says he should have.

Hmmm, can't find #17 anywhere in this article.  I'll wait for one of you fellas to tell me different.

 

Do some research and open your minds.

So it means one thing except when it means the opposite. 

Is the number 17 unlucky?

17: Some Italians are superstitious about Friday the 17th because rearranging the Roman numeral XVII can create the word "VIXI"—translated from Latin to mean "my life is over."
