jkeerie Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Someone posted on this site that Josh showed evidence of stress and anxiety in the Houston game. I had noted his eyes and redness of his face, especially after the hit on the sideline. I thought it might be concussion related, but the poster suggested Josh could benefit from a sports psychologist. Hmmmmm.... 1
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I think this is great. Mental health is directly tied to emotional and physical health. 6

The team and Josh Allen can benefit from this. Would not hurt Allen's career to have his own personal one, alot of it is between the ears for him. 1 1

It looked like it was aimed at all staff coaches and players, so I think your correct in your thinking. Olympic athletes have used these sorts of services for many years if i’m not mistaken, it’s a good move on the Bills behalf imo. Go Bills!!! Edited January 13, 2020 by Don Otreply 1
