11/13/22 GAMEDAY Vikings at Bills Pregame Thread Week 10
UKBillFan replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m missing most of the game - might be good for my health (and everyone else’s!) that I’m not following it. Just hope for a Bills win, however it happens. -

If we’re not starting Josh then we should have activated Barkley. If we don’t have faith in Josh’s elbow from the start, what’s the answer if Keenum has to go off after a series or two? -

At what point does White actually suit up? ETA - Gives me even more confidence that Josh must be fine, considering how protective they’re being over White. -
That’s a fair point. The question is is today a blip for the season or him reverting to type.
-
I’d argue that’s like calling Josh putrid after a poor performance against the Jets (plus a quarter versus the Packers). One game doesn’t mark a season and Geno has been good up to now.
-
As long as we’re fully fit I’m confident in our pass defense.
-
If we make the SB I’d be happier facing the Bucs then, say, the 49ers. But a long way to go yet.

Jamie Gillan was the Giants player left behind but he knew he would be from the off as he had to sort out his passport whilst he was in the U.K.
-
Yes, I agree with you. I'm going to have nagging doubts because he didn't practice earlier in the week but, as said already, the coaching team don't tend to allow players to suit up unless they're very confident about their fitness.
-
I have to agree. If he's not fit to play every offensive series surely we should have activated Barkley? And if he's fit to play every offensive series, why wouldn't we play him? Part of me does think a week off may have been the better choice in the long run, but we're doing it so fingers crossed.
-
Part of me is hoping we're not rushing Josh back too soon but a fully fit player can be ruled out by just one play. We need him to return to pre-bye Josh; hopefully the playcalling will help in that regard.

On to Minnesota (get this game in the rear view mirror!)
UKBillFan replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Keenum starts it makes sense to activate Barkley, even if they plan to use Josh as Back Up. If they're starting Keenum then, logically, they may only want to use Josh for a handful of series at most. If something happens early on to Keenum, they're in a position where there'd be throwing Josh into a situation they had been looking to avoid. For me, if Barkely isn't activated, then they're 99% certain that Josh is fit enough to start. -

We're missing half a team, they're missing two players. I don't like this trade off. 😂 I think White could suit up. -
Why oh why are we not establishing a running game ?
UKBillFan replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
A running game opens up the field for passing as defense have to stop the run plays, and also takes pressure off Josh if he's having a bit of a slump. And we've seen before this season the run game work in the first half and we, for some reason, abandon it in the second. For contenders, it is always an option to keep defenses guessing. -
How much on Sunday will be an evaluation of Brandon Beane?
UKBillFan replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
The support for Dorsey will obviously be in correlation to how the offense looks. We started well but, since the bye, have become more reliant on big plays and avoiding the dink and dunk. I'm not sure why but it's been to the detriment of the offense. -

UKBillFan replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
If purely Josh is missing, and we look a mess on offense, then it will not reflect brilliantly on building that side of the ball. The defense looks like it will be missing a few key personnel so will be difficult to judge. -
Using Josh situationally while his elbow is <100%
UKBillFan replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Perhaps we should dress Josh as a running back? 😄
