    He isn't a top QB, but he is good enough to help the Bills win this weekend. If Allen isn't out there it will hurt but the Bills still have a good chance to win the game. 

    Hope you right fella

    Common sense and McD-speak says Allen sits… and Keenum starts…

     

    Big test for Dorsey… Case brings his own strengths and weaknesses… Up to Dorsey to adapt his play-calling to his player

    Instead i see Allen as a go.

    Colts with Manning maybe a little especially at home. But I dont think anyone feared Dungy as an opposing coach the way they would Belichick.  Packers were a good team but I don't think any team felt they were unbeatable.  Especially since Favre turned the ball over so much.  

    Do you think anyone fears being outcoached by McDermott and company? 

    I think they fear Allen being unstoppable at times, but know the Bills from time to time play down to their opponent.

    Interesting point the McD one… especially for the many times he’s called out for poor coaching.

    Case has been in the league a long time. He is capable of helping the Bills get a win this weekend vs Minnesota. The rest of the team will have to pick it up if Allen can't go. If Allen can go the rest of the team should still pick it up. Allen shouldn't have to be a one-man gang out there.

    We can say everything about the effort all the team will have regard JA absence, everyone accountable etc etc… but fact is that Case, even if in the League long time, is not a top QB.

    I think you are misinterpreting the situation. I think the Patriots with Brady were the anomaly. They were feared by everyone. The Chiefs with Mahomes for a brief period probably got close to them and of course the 85 Bears for that season  Otherwise I don't think any NFL team fears any other team. They all know that on any given Sunday they can all win or lose.

    Don’t tell me that the Colts, Packs and Seahawks, those years, weren’t feared. Manning and Favre (but also the Roger’s Packs till a couple of years ago) were at different level to everyone else beside the Pats.

    I’m sure after Jacksonville and Indy last year we were not taken seriously 
     

    Then we went scorched earth at halftime vs Tampa

     

    This team is 5x better then last year when healthy 

     


    Hot and Healthy for January - put it on a t - shirt - that’s what it takes in this league to win it all

    I agree.. but you know very well how much it counts playing at home during the postseason. 
     

    I’m sure that with the n.1 seed last year we would have advanced to the SB.

    If you can't stop the run, no team will fear the Bills

    This is true and not at same time. 
     

    Some of the teams i mentioned above didn’t have a strong running game, but they got that status anyway.

     

    But i also agree with you that without a good running game (good is enough, don’t need great), we could be in trouble deep in the season. 
     

     

  6. I’m wondering about a thing: 

     

    the Bills’s power perception on other teams.

     

    You know… there were/are teams that others fears when to play against before the snap, thinking there are very fews chances they win. 
     

    One team was New England Brady era, the Seahawks few years ago, the Manning Colts, the Packs Favre, KC Mahomes this past years when Hill was there and others in the past. 

     

    Do you think that the Bills are in this situation ? 
     

    I don’t feel the Bills got this status yet, even when all the so colled “expert analyst” and world of football say that we are the team to beat and superbowl favourite for Vegas. 
     

    Honestly i also don’t think we got this point yet, we are very close, just few pieces far in the roster, but not

    there yet. 
     

    Your thought ? 
     

     

  7. Good morning everyone.

     

    So now, after a good night of sleep, cool head maybe, what are your odds for:

     

    - win the Division

    - top seed AFC

    - reach the SB

    - win the SB

     

    And what were before the Jets game ? 
     

    I remain confident, very confident in this Team, even with its weak spots, so my odds were (b/f Jets game) and now are: 

     

    - from 90% to 80% bc Miami and Jets are not so weak

    - from 75% to 60% bc KC still here and most of all now we have a not waited loss in the column

    - from 55% to 45% bc we are not so much superior to think we are unbeatable 

    - from 50 to 50 bc if and when there, is always a coin toss 

     

    Listening your points.

    Should be more a lot more Jets fans than normal id think. Last few years tickets been like $5 and a bad bad team... recipe to fill your stadium up with rival fans

    Just 5$ to attend live at a professional sport game ? Jesus.. here in Italy people pay 5€ to attend not professional games like soccer and basketball where players on Monday  go to work on regular jobs.

     

    If you attend professional games you don’t pay less then 35/40€. 


     

     

  9. I think that sending some blitz during the game could create some trouble to their defense, not many, just some and if you see that it works, then increase the number of them. 
     

    Stay always pat with our front four pressure, even if successful, long term can become predictable and give others D coordinators chance to find solutions at that. 
     

     

  10. As we all know we are one of the teams that blitz less. 
     

    Don’t you think that vs the Jets we could change this and go for Wilson much more ? 
     

    Could it be a good strategy ? 
     

    Actually we are 7th in number of sacks (19) tied with the Chiefs and Commanders, Cowboys first with 29.

    I suggest posting of video showing us how you are currently throwing the football.  Then let all of us send our corrections/instructions. 

    That should be helpful.  O almeno divertente! 

    It could be the right thing to do. I’ll do that in this days.

    Well as someone who has played football and coached quarterbacks for a long time I will say there’s not one motion 

     

    Everybody’s different

     

    From your classic over the top like Jim Kelly

     

    To a three-quarter SideArm like Philip Rivers

     

    Me personally as a lefty, I’ve always had a three-quarter SideArm delivery… Yet great spiral and touch

     

    The biggest key is finding the correct  grip for your hand size on the ball… What feels the best between the laces

     

    Quick snappy motion …. The softer you toss the harder it is to throw a spiral… So if you put some juice behind it and Snap your wrist at the release it will greatly help 

     

    Not to mention all the foot work stuff that we could get into but that’s not important right now

     

    Find the grip and release that feels good to you

    I’ll try and let you know how will work

    You probabkt weren't watching a GOOD video; YouTube is full of helpful videos. Maybe you aren't meant to play football. 

    Videos are good but have people to teach me is way better. 
     

    Also of course i didn’t practice enough

    Salve, Bills Italiano …

     

    Mi chiamo Neo e io sono di Tampa, Florida.

     

    I’m going to Italy next summer.   I’ll show you my mad uncle Rico skills.

     

    Perfecto?   No, ma non male.

     

    PS … I’m learning to speak Italian using Duolingo.   I’m three weeks in.

     

    Ciao.  Ciao Ciao.   Arrivederci.    Un caffè con latte e una cornetto, per favore!  FANTASTICO.

    Ciao Neo ! 
     

    I’ve been in Tampa years ago, went to Clearwater also.. beaufiful places.

     

    I’ve been many times in Florida also. 
     

    If you come here next summer, let’s keep in touch in some way… maybe we could meet and spend a couple of days together.

    Go to the one minute mark. Pretty good explanation of how Josh throws the ball. Really, only one or two fingers are on the laces. If you put all 5 fingers on the laces you’ll helicopter it (like my daughter when she was 9 years old.)

    🤦🏽‍♂️😄

    Looks like you’re getting the advice you’ve requested.  Your thread title had me concerned you’d been kidnapped or something more sinister had occurred, happy to be breathing a sigh of relief for you. 😂😂

    all safe buddy

    Hold the ball back near the tip with your fingers spread across the laces. I recommend throwing overhand vs sidearm. As you release the ball, it ALL ABOUT the flick of your fingertips. Keep throwing until you find the right fingertip spin to dial in the spiral.

     

    I have faith in you.

     

    Next week, we’ll work on acuracy.😉👍

    Ohhh man, that’s a great explanation. 
     

    I need a teammate also: somebody available ?

    Italian Bills - Do you have any renderings of how you toss the ball, they may be helpful for the audience...

    Have you tried bringing the armchair out to the yard?

     

    (Sorry Italian Bills... I couldn't resist that one!) 

    Great idea ! I’ll try 🤣

    It's not your fault. You probably grew up playing the wrong kind of "football" over there. We probably can't kick a ball as well as you over here so you would have to teach us. My cousins had an exchange student from Spain and he wasn't good at soccer in his country but he came here and he was one of the best players in the area. I'm guessing we could come there and be the best American football players Italy has ever seen.

    Good point… but i’d love to learn it. 

  18. Hello everybody.
     

    As you know i’m from Italy and since more than 30 years i’m a Bills diehard fan also.
     

    I have an original football and i would love to learn how to throw it perfectly, with a perfect spiral.

     

    When sitting on my  armchair i’m able to throw it up very well but if i try to throw the football when i’m in my yard, i can’t have a good spiral. 
     

    Some advise ? 
     

    I watched some video but without good results. 
     

    It seem a stupid request i know, but thanks in advance for your help. 😇🏈🏈🏈
