hondo in seattle Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 The analytics comment was interesting 1
Solomon Grundy Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 “Not paying me for what I’ve done, but paying me for what I’m going to do”. Awesome response 2

No doubt an offensive approach that intentionally ignores the run for essentially entire halves of professional football games is not being designed by old school football traditionalists. Kudos to McDermott for allowing Daboll et al (I forget the analytics person's name) to be so progressive. Maybe this year they can temper SOME of that progressive/aggressive approach to keep opposing defenses guessing more. 1
BuffaloBill Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 I can’t remember a season where the Mafia had so much reason to be optimistic. Yes, I was around in the Kelly years and that was fun but this team seems poised to be even better. That’s saying a lot. 2

Growing up in the 70’s-80’s and this, to me as well, has a different feeling. During the Kelly years there were times where I’d get very frustrated with Jim’s last go-ahead drives and he’d throw a pick over the middle. Perhaps it was just because I was young. I do not have those feelings with this team…only the excitement of what the game is going to look like. 2

DD4Bills Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Nice interview...but what's the point of having a "socially distanced" setup if you end it with a handshake?? I think this team's ability to play away games in loud hostile stadiums will be key...the 17K in KC definitely impacted things. JA says that is a big focus; I hope he's right.

It is very difficult to compare eras because so much is different now (read: internet). In the 90s I lived in Buffalo and the team was great, but it was all local news and hype (along with ESPN). Josh Allen truly seems poised for greatness even Jim Kelly never experienced. When you may have the best QB on the planet (sorry, Pat and Aaron) it makes sense to be optimistic.

But seriously, it's mostly aerosolized droplets getting inhaled that cause the issue, from what I understand. Plus, hopefully, they put sanitizer on after shaking hands. But I get it. It sure looks weird. 1

Aren't all of Allen's stats better away then home for his first two years?

But his breakout 3rd year happened in empty stadiums until the playoffs, and the team's struggles in KC were partly due to crowd noise. Dealing with that is a point of emphasis this year, so I'll trust they will be well-prepared for it. 1

Sounds like TBD one is right one for here. I interpreted her comment as wanting to watch it from a safe distance, but not actually breaking the table herself. Although the way she said it is open to interpretation.
