I agree somewhat, but I believe there would be different points of coaching emphasis against Keenum rather than Allen. For instance, containing the edges and perhaps assigning a spy are not going to be points of emphasis against Keenum the way they would be against Allen. I would also think that squatting more on short and intermediate routes and worrying a little bit less about the deep routes would be a consideration. In short, I think the Vikings defense potentially employs very different defensive tactics depending upon whether it's Keenum or Allen under center for the Bills.

Friends, fellow fans, countrymen... Let Friday, November 11th, 2022 forever be remembered as the day that Sean McDermott rolled out the rarest of things: a FOURTH injury category. We've always had "day to day", "week to week", and "it's gonna be a while", but now, improbably.... The miraculous, fantastic, almost-too-ridiculous-to-be-real-but-somehow-it-is "hour to hour" designation!

On to Minnesota (get this game in the rear view mirror!)

Man.... With our defense struggling against the run lately, if we are without Rousseau, Edmunds, and Poyer on Sunday, against a team with Dalvin Cook at tailback... Things could get ugly fast. I agree with all but White. What is it about today's injury report that indicates to you anything whatsoever about Tre White? -
Speaking of Jackson Browne, his song "These Days" is one of my all time favorites. So beautiful. Have listened to it a million times.

I officially predict that Josh misses three games. I know, I know, I'm such a jerk. This team is very cautious with injuries, and we're talking about the throwing arm of the franchise QB here. I think the Bills feel like they can potentially win the next three games WITHOUT Allen. They brought in a guy like Case Keenum for a reason. If the Bills can go 2-1 without Allen over the next three games -- and I really feel like the Browns and Lions games, in particular, are winnable with Keenum under center -- they'll be in good shape.

With the year almost over, I'd have to say that the best concert I saw this year, hands down, was Billy Strings. Knocked my socks off. Eager to go see him again as soon as he comes through my town. What a show!

How many beers it would take to get with NFL QBs as women

Thread of the year. Close the voting now. There's no point. -
I think if you had just said "maybe there will be a silver lining to this injury", then people would have no problem with it. But instead you said "Allen injury a good thing?" and, well....let the GIFs and flaming commence.

May I ask why? I'm just curious as to your reasoning. Personally, I think that saying "day to day" is of the most strategic benefit. If he had said "week to week", it would telegraph that he's out for this Sunday. By saying "day to day", you can take it right up to Sunday morning without the opposition knowing who will be at quarterback. I have no idea whether Josh will play on Sunday or not, but I think saying "day to day" is the best, most logical gamesmanship possible given the situation. I wouldn't be surprised if Josh plays Sunday, and I wouldn't be surprised if he missed two games.

The divide in this thread between "we can afford to drop an NFC game" and "we can't afford to drop ANY game!" seems to come down to a split in what is a realistic target/expectation for the Bills: Some are looking mainly at winning the division, which will guarantee a playoff spot and keep the Bills out of the messy Wildcard race. In this case, it's true, a loss to an NFC opponent will matter less than losses to the Phins, Jets, or Pats, particularly considering the Bills are already 0-2 in the division. Some, however, are still looking mainly at getting the AFC #1 seed, in which case EVERY loss hurts, with the Chiefs and Phins and Jets right on the Bills' heels in terms of record. It all comes down to how many games Josh might realistically be expected to miss. Unless I missed something, the various reports out there right now are not definitive. Until McDermott himself confirms something, we don't know how severe Josh's injury is or how many games it might keep him out of. If it's like his rookie year and he could realistically miss four games, then people should maybe start adjusting their expectations toward winning the division rather than worrying about securing the #1 seed. If the injury ISN'T serious and Josh is going to miss 0-2 games, then the #1 seed is certainly still in play.

"This style of play"?! Josh got hurt standing right in the middle of the pocket, looking downfield. The same could have happened to Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, or *insert any other prototypical dropback QB you can think of here*. He didn't get hurt running. He didn't get hurt stiff-arming or hurdling a defender. He got hurt standing right in the damn pocket. Those of us who say that the "his style of play risks injury!" stuff is overblown often point out that most quarterback injuries happen IN THE POCKET, not when the QB is scrambling. Josh Allen has now had two career injuries to his throwing arm, and wouldn't you know it, both happened while he was standing in the pocket. If you want to blame poor play by the o-line or blame Beane for not upgrading that line, then have at it. But to claim that Josh's "style of play" has ANYTHING to do with this injury is laughable and demonstrably false.

The thing that I don't like about him is that he's not good at playing football. It's a no for me, dawg.
