Zerovoltz Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Pretty good read. Take a look https://sports.yahoo.com/why-bills-believe-josh-allen-can-be-heir-to-the-franchises-most-famous-face-005503323.html 5 2 4
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Shockingly from Yahoo that was a good article. I especially was impressed with Allen renting out a house and inviting skill plays for some one on one and Allen also playing WR and CB, lets him see the QB play from a different perspective. I think that is a great idea during the off-season and certainly builds team chemistry . Not sure about this line though, "The Bills love his field vision and smarts" not so sure about that, especially after that last performance which I pray was a fluke. You cant doubt Allen's physical attributes and his willingness to be a leader and put the work in, the two usually lead to success as a QB. 2
BillnutinHouston Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Interesting article, but what's with the gratuitous reference to the old stadium?

Maybe because it’s an old stadium, I don’t think anyone could say it’s a bad stadium for game watching, in fact just the opposite. It is just that it lacks the amenities that have been in demand throughout the NFL for some number of years now. Me I wish they could transplant the stadium into downtown Buffalo as it is, but reality says otherwise. Nice article, up beat and did not avoid the issues of a young QB finding his way. Go Bills!!!

One of the great sports experiences is a summer evening game at Dodger Stadium. What surprises many people is that it is the third oldest stadium in MLB after Fenway and Wrigley. Because a place is "old" doesn't necessarily mean it's crappy.

Yeah, but the stadium in Orchard Park IS crappy, and most definitely needs to be replaced.

Saw a game out there a couple of months back, Dodgers stadium is very nice place to catch a game, as is New Era.

I hope it was a fluke too but it was much more like what we saw last year than the week prior, so perhaps the Panthers game will prove to be the fluke. But I really believe Josh will have moments where he gets a little too comfortable and then he will make mistake and youl see him bounce back in game. I would have loved to see (not really, in a virtual simulation world or something) Josh stay in the Lions game for the second half to see how he improved. I do think it would not have been the same as the first half. Also here is a thread from the author of the article: Edited August 28, 2019 by jletha

Steve O Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Just Joshin' said: Care to elaborate? What is missing from the game day experience? Well, I've been in 334/15/28&29 the past 4 (or is it 5?) years. 50 steps up to go to the bathroom, unless I want to go down and wait 10-15 minutes to get to a troth. Great seats, but a couple of issues: 1) step # 13 is 1/4 inch higher than the others. Measured it when I started noticing how many tripped over the same step. Can't tell you how many have tripped over this step over the years, but at least a couple a game. 2) no hand rails. This is the issue that kept me from renewing tickets this year. Arthritis was really kicking up in my ankle when I had to decide about tickets, and without the stability of a hand rail I would have to move very slowly up and down stairs or risk falling. Quite simply, I didn't feel safe. Edited August 28, 2019 by Steve O 1

Breaking a tradition by responding to a fresh troll. New Era stadium has some of the best sightlines in the NFL. Great place too see a game. The structual issue IMO is the narrow claustrophobic concourses. It is one of the hardest and most expensive problems to solve. That said stay home, or go to Jerrah's palace and drop $120.00 for a round table pizza in the suites. Edited August 28, 2019 by Best Player Available 1 1

The play calling was obvious amd unplanned. It was most definitely a fluke. 2

It’s a lot like The Ralph in that much of is below the ground around it. They both used the build it lower in the ground to build it more economically... less supporting superstructure.
Mr. WEO Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Jeez....Yahoo?? I don't have dial-up, can anyone with AOL or Earthlink get on that and cut/paste the salient points for me?
TigerJ Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Paylor was a guest on One Bills Live today. No big revelations - he mostly talked about stuff in his article and his twitter thread.
