I'm fine with resting Allen. Get that body and mind of his healed up for the next winning streak. Stronger arms, legs, elbows, and mindset.

I haven't seen it. Joe Marino on his YouTube Locked on Bills commented it was a horrible call. He's a very good source of reliable information.

Did you see the Bills play in the 2nd half vs the Packers And the Jets game? It's not like the Bills are thriving on all cylinders. They made Zach Wilson look like a seasoned QB and the Jets WRs made nice short catches. The Jets running back thrashed the Bills too. I'd dare to say the Kousins, Cook, Jefferson, and TJ are a much more daunting task. Add in no Allen and Bills injuries. That adds up to a difficult task for the Bills. Good thing is Bills play well at home, hoping some injuries guys return, and others step up because Allen is out. A better total team effort is needed because Keenum isn't going to win this game. Coaching and game planning will be crucial this game.

However, he is capable of making a play or two to win a game. That's what he did last week.

At home it's certainly a game the Bills can win. Should they win is a much harder question. Delvin Cook is a top RB who may just continue attacking the Bills suspect run D. Jefferson is a top 5 WR who the Bills have no one to stop him. The newly added Hockenson is dangerous as well. Cousins isn't elite but he's experienced. The Bills D had to rattle hom into mistakes. He is capable of sucking at a higher rate than lots of QBs. The Vikings Defense is pretty good. I believe they are around 10th in sacks and kind of play a bend but don't break defense. This will be no easy game for the Bills to win especially if Allen is out. A Bills win will require a rally of better team play on both sides of the ball. Winning in the trenches and playing a more conservative game. Almost like the Jets did to the Bills.

Allen didn't look right throwing the ball vs the Jets when healthy. Just saying...Sit him for a game or 2 and let him get healthy and clear his head and eyes. Casey can throw equally bad INTs too.

The Bills are F'd...

Not if it wins.

Time for me to put some money on the Dolphins and Bengals. No way am I laying money on +275 for Buffalo. Those odds suck. Not saying Buffalo won't win it just saying from a betting point of view those odds aren't good.

I voted four (4). The Bills have always been very conservative with getting guys back from injuries. Look at Tre for a nice example.

Great post! The gap between the two teams is very very wide. Not even close in my opinion. I love Allen but I'll take a Jim Kelly a 100s over before I take Allen. He was a winner, a leader, and a Buffalo Bill to the heart. Even still proves that to this day. When the game was on the line Kelly would be magical. Allen not so much. He was great in KC hitting Knox for the game winner. Great in the KC playoff game with his comeback. The Jets game? He is special no doubt. No knock on Allen. We were fortunate to have Kelly and now Allen. The comparasions though aren't really fair to either one. The variables in play are just too wide and broad. You pointed out some of them. With that said, I can't get out of my head the waiting for the Allen update.

I would say at this point the AFC is more wide open that I thought. The Bills and Chiefs are still probably one and two just because of the QBs they have. However, the gap seems to be closing with several other teams more than capable of beating them. Miami being in the forefront of the conversation followed by Cinci, Balt, and SD.

Four straight Super Bowl appearances isn't a difference maker? Really?

I hear what you are saying. I'm happy about being 6-2 with the number one seed. However, its starting to feel like the team isn't as good as I thought. Maybe an error on my part with believing the hype. It looks as though many teams are right there with the Bils. They can beat us on any given day. The Bills look beatable and are beatable. There are some unexpected disappointments this far. Mainly the poor receiving play which includes Knox who isn't being targeted. The run game and stopping the run has reared its ugly head. Allen is hurt hopefully not long term. Hyde is out for the season. Seeding is great but it doesn't mean you are the best team. See Tenn for a reference point. Right now, we don't look or feel like rhe best team. Hope by seasons end the Bills will be peaking.

Kinda of like when Philip Rivers in Jan 2019 played with a torn ACL? This is Josh Allen we are talking about. The guy is beyond a beast. Adrenaline can mask pain for an instance like this. I'm not buying what you are selling. No disrespect intended. Not my style. I will wait nervously for upcoming news.

I am expecting Allen to be out at least 3 games and perhaps out the rest of the season. At this point, I'd take the 3 games. Out for the regular season would be bad bad. Maybe he Will be ready playoff time if the Bills make it to the playoffs. The way this season has been going with injuries it's hard to be optimistic. Please football gods be on Allen's side.

That was pure adrenaline he was on. That throw means little to nothing.

Too early to say how this year's draft picks will be. However let's take a look at 2020 picks. 2nd round pick 54 - Epenesa 3rd round pick 86 - Moss 4th round pick 128 - Davis 5th round pick 167 - Fromm 6th round pick 188 - Bass 6th round pick 207 - Hodgins 7th round pick 239 - Jackson Some good and bad in that class of drafts. The good is Dane Jackson, Bass, and Davis. Bills definelty missed with AJ, Moss, and Fromm. I believe the Bills are very good at finding quality players late in the draft. Look at Bedford this year. They are just plain awful at drafting the RB position.

That 90s Kelly led team was elite on both sides of the ball with huge playmakers. One should never compare those teams with the current Bills team. It's not even close. You have several Hall of famers from that team. Four straight super Bowl appearances. Stop with the non sense. There was no panic because they were that good. They proved it year after year. This version of the Bills has proven they can't even get to an AFC Championship game. Maybe that's why there's concern.

I agree 100% with your post.

I get that and that's a fair post. However, I think it's safe to say we all would like to get things worked out with Allen as our QB. Imho, the worst thing that can happen to this team is to be without Allen for 3 or more games. To expect Keenam to play well and win games is very optimistic. Without Allen, teams can contrentrate on the few weapons the Bills have. I have little confidence they will find their run game. Keenam can't throw the ball downfield. He can't stretch a defense. Defenses will squat, sit, and jump the short passes. INTs will be there for the taking. I just don't see a serviceable offense with Keenam. Heck, the last 6 quarters with Allen were crap and now some expect Keenam, coaches, and scheme to step it up. Sure it's possible but what's the probability of successful sustained offense? The Bills will absolutely have to win their games on defense. They will have to force turnovers and come up big. Currently, they are having some clear issues stopping the run. Another Fraizer and McD common theme rears its ugly head. That defense is vulnerable to the run. Always has been and always will be. Add on teams are negating the Bills pass rush with short quick passes. The Jets did it very well. The Bills secondary without Hyde, Poyer, and Tre are not elite. Hyde's injury cannot be under estimated. Who knows when the Bills get back Tre being Tre. I think it will take some time before he hits his stride. Elam and Bedford are learning on the job. They look very promising but for now they are still rookies and will make mistakes. J Johnson doesn't belong on the field. He is just plain slow and not instinctive. With all those negatives the Bills still have a formidable defense. Rousseau and Von can create havoc. Espenesa and Boogie are dog poop. Hope both are off the team next year. Phillips and Settle need to plug the middle. Lastly, I want to address the Bills tackling. They were excellent tackling defenders in the first 4 or 5 games. The last few games have been very very bad. This team is 6-2 but it feels like a bad 6-2. Feels like a team on its heals struggling to find its identity on both sides of the ball. Allen under duress and making poor passing decisions, WR who aren't stepping it up besides someone named Diggs, a running game that disappears almost every game. Fast forward to today and teams in the division absolutely know they can beat the Bills. There is no doubt or psychological edge. There is no choking when its crunch time. Seemingly, the pressure is on the "Goliath" Bills team. Look to the ending of the Jets game. Allen and the Bills would absolutely get into field goal range 8 or 9 times out of 10. We know what hapoened. A colossal failure that seemingly brought back past bad Bills memories. You know you felt it every bit as I did. Lastly, I just hope and pray we aren't watching this season slowly fade away with another disappointing ending. 6-2 is great but the feeling that this team is unbeatable or elite has taken a big hit. Without Allen, this team is fools gold.

Come on sir! It's Casey Keenam we are talking about. He has a big enough sample size to know he's a career back up with big limitations. Weak arm and suspect vision. Go ahead and believe he's going to be effective with this running game and Oline. I will choose to take off my blinders and see reality. I know it's wildly unpopular. The likelihood of Keenam being good or serviceable is fair less likely than vice versa.

Perhaps. I've seen little to nothing that gives me signs of encouragement.

If the Bills win it won't be because of Keenan. It will be on the defense to play well and get turnovers. Also, the Bills run game will be forced into action.

Without Allen this team is an average 500 team at best. Thus far, Keenan looks abysmal.
