Like all roots of evolution it is about survival. Those who did not fully trust their circle died young. Now that we have evolved beyond that we humans struggle with the forces of blind loyalty vs considering the opposite viewpoint. And really, you only have one brain you can only ever see things from your viewpoint. you have to make an effort to get your brain to see things from someone else's point of view. an effort many don't have the time or willpower to make. and i agree with @mead107 it cuts all ways.

it is because people tend to have a very difficult time seeing things as others see them. they can only see something from their perspective. it is unfortunate, but quite human.

Nah. They are working. And they are given permission to protest.

But for the ones that do...protesting is fine, right?

If it is not offensive then it does nothing. It is a protest. It is not meant to be polite. getting a reaction of offense is exactly the point!

McDermott must kneel. He's all about "all for one and one for all". How can he demand the loyalty of his players if he does not show them he has their backs? Get ready whoever is offended by knees, you are gonna be offended. Hope you can survive.

Partisan politics at its finest. Complain about the other guy whilst being horribly ineffective. at least both sides are equally good at something...

In the end Trump will be judged by comparing covid 19 in USA to other western countries. Not difficult to compare, there are many good sources at this point. We shall see. The media was always garbage and so they remain. Who cares, if you believe everything you read there is no help for you. News, bibles, papers dropped from balloons, proselytizers, town criers, it's all garbage.

Watson is good. That's part of the reason it was close. Bills offense prone to mistakes, being cautious is a good option if not the best option. we saw those mistakes first hand, they were incredibly close to winning that game except for a few mistakes on the field by basically everyone.

Only to lose, in overtime. You are correct but it was damn close.

Even sifting through 20 pages to find a specific update is silly. No need to be sorry, I'm Canadian. if anything it should be me apologizing to you for disturbing your delicate sensibilities.

And then all I need to do is sift through 90 pages for new content? I'd call that buried.

So Josh has nothing more to learn from a vet because it's his third year? I disagree. It is irrelevant what year it is for him - he still has plenty to learn.

haha yeah it's a "simple question"...with no way of knowing the correct answer.

Screens are not easy plays to execute. Once they are able to reliably run them, we will see more.

this is the right answer. what a jerk!

Josh Allen is must watch TV.

Statistics are not good enough? Oh no! Stats win games whatever shall we do!?

Your first sentence says it all. He needs practice and the coaches are giving it to him even if it decreases their chance of winning. How else can you learn to play vs the elite strength and speed that playoffs bring? This was the most difficult challenge of this young guy's life and the coaches put the game in his hands. He had it won several times, made some mistakes, and overall gained the crucial practice you mentioned. I'm betting everything is going to look slower to Josh going forward and that he will learn to make better decisions and better judgements of the opposing defender's abilities.

Ya got me, I admit it.

Too late. We ready started talking about it.

Yes Allen needs to process faster. As you pointed out, McDermott is giving him the in game practise he needs. I am so glad mcd "gets it".

i think we mostly agree. yes slowing down and then speeding up helps. i have been learning to play drums lately, that's exactly how i do it. and i'm getting better! however, nothing can prepare you for actually being on stage and playing. it definitely helps to practice before you get there. but the best way to be great on stage is to play on stage, lots (i.e. practice the real thing). there are aspects that cannot be duplicated in practice. similarly, i'm sure that Allen is starting slow and gaining speed in scrimmage or drills or what have you. however nothing can truly mimic game situation and speed except a real game. you need real game practice. you need to throw the deep ball vs the blitz in a real game to get good at it. you may fail, but when you fail you get to evaluate yourself and see what you did wrong, go back to practice try to correct, then come back to a real game and give it a go again. i think throwing motion can be taught to change, it just takes practice. Allen has already shown he can achieve this. he has a ways to go, which imo is quite exciting because if he can put it all together he's gonna be fantastic.

no need for quotes on the brain training, it's real. I actually i think it is good brain training. he could have hit them, he should have hit them. and in the future i believe, he will hit them. but it is difficult to do if you do not practice it (and i mean practice in game).

I think daboll is fine. Allen hits one or more of those three long ball misses and the game is much different. Yes, Allen has had some trouble with those. But he needs to keep trying. Daboll needs to keep trying. They need to hit those and the best way to do that is practice in game. I don't see the game plans being 100% about winning right now. Allen still has brain training to do, and that can only be done in a game. He has shown he is a great learner, and being allowed to fail is part of that.
