looks a lot worse than Mariotas tbh. he was in serious pain on the sideline

 

i think he will be out 4-5 weeks. so much for developing our rookie QB. We all knew this was coming. Beane ignored the oline for 2 years and this is the result. 

 

You do realize the OL has been playing fine the last few weeks, right?

Should be fired immediately if he does. A total joke and laughingstock. 

 

What if Anderson isn't ready and Allen is out? What then? Logan Thomas? Pull Orton out of retirement?

I’d much rather watch Logan Thomas play QB at this point. Just trotting NP out there is an embarrassment . He should have been gone after week one.

The Bills might be the most inept organization in football right now, utter embarrassing how they have treated this process.  Most fans here said he wasn't ready to start, needed to develop, and WOULD GET HURT...and what do you know?  

He was hurt on a routine pass play in the pocket, by an arguably illegal hit.  Could have happened to a 15 year vet.

The way this defense is playing, the only shot we have in that Monday nighter is if Anderson plays. That place will be rocking off its hinges on a home Monday nighter. Can you imagine the thrill of winning that game on national TV against the Pats? With this Defense flying around and putting itself on the map. If Allen or Peterman play, we will be humiliated. If Anderson plays, we have a shot.

Mixed reports. 

 

He hyper extended his elbow. I don’t think this is going to be an ulnar collateral ligament, or a Tommy John issue, where there’s surgery and long-term problems, where he’s going to miss extended time. I think it’s just going to be a matter of soreness… I just didn’t see anything that would make me think his season is over, based on video.”

Two things:

 

1)  Clearly an illegal, late hit, leading with helmet to boot.

2)  I think its more likely a contusion than sprain.  Sprains occur when a joint is stretched beyond its normal limits.  Watch the replay.  Joint doesnt seem to be stretched/torqued, its damage due to forceful direct contact.  More likely contusion than sprain.

Still may take several weeks to heal.

"Based on the video, “Pro Football Doc” David Chao has now said Allen will be out at least month with a UCL strain and possible structural damage. Chao worked with NFL teams for 17 years and is a practicing orthopedic surgeon.

“The test is called a milking sign, and the immediate reaction to pain indicates there is damage to the UCL, which is also commonly called the Tommy John ligament for its frequent reconstruction in baseball pitchers,” said Chao.

“Throwing a football would certainly stress this ligament, and his reaction after the pass is another sign of the injury,” continued Chao.

Chao goes on to clarify that it’s unlikely Allen will need surgery, but the prognosis for return in the weeks and not days.

“I’m not ready to say Allen’s season is done or that he needs surgery. But he will be hard-pressed to play the next few weeks based on his reaction to the test on his elbow.”

That one at least lines up with what they've said a lot better. I mean week to week and not eliminating him from the next game is pretty far from 2wks to a month or way longer.

This is exactly what I would do if I was in charge.

 

-Shut Allen down for the rest of the year. Not IR but keep him inactive. Let him heal and learn in practices but keep him inactive on game days 

 

-Cut Peterman. 5 weeks to late but still cut him

 

-Sign Landry Jones to be the backup and get him up to speed as quick as possible. They have had him in for a visit or possibly two. Make it happen and get him ready Incase Anderson goes down. Possibly as the long term backup 

 

-start Anderson for the rest of the year

Shut him down.   Start Anderson for the rest of the season.   Pray he doesn't get hurt because Peterman should never take another snap.

 

Or do the intelligent thing and sign Colin Kapernick tomorrow.

 

"Intelligent" and "sign Colin Kapernick" shouldn't be together in the same sentence.

You do realize that the "mixed reports" are from the same guy?  

 

The first was his initial take and the second was after seeing the sideline tape

Starting Logan Thomas at QB might be preferable to Peterman at this point.

I'll agree to disagree here - it's not just knowing the playbook, though I'd say that's the majority of the reason for me. I also think we're giving Anderson too much credit...

 

And how exactly did Thad do coming off that week? With a different team and coaching staff around him? I've seen QBs play off of seven day preps on a completely new team as well, can't remember how many of those actually went well...

I was wrong about thad Lewis only having 7 days, he had a month, but was only a 3rd year pro bouncing around on practice squads. In the game he played here he went 19/32 for 216 yards with 2 passing touchdowns and 0 interceptions and added 7 carries for 17 yards and 1 rushing touchdown

 

the bills lost that game 27-24 to the bengals in ot. Those are solid stats from a 3rd year pro who was starting for a team that had traded for him a month earlier.

 

Derek Anderson is a 13 year vet, been to the pro bowl. He can get ready in what amounts to 10 to 14 days.

 

Not expecting to be blown away or impressed with his play, but I do expect to see actual qb play something we havent seen from peterman minus 1 pass.

Sorry got distracted 

 

the other report was FAKE NEWS.  

 

The site corrected their story to match the above post  

 

the fake story said he’d be out all season

Name a bigger circus than what the Bills already are if we sign Mr. Pigsocks.

If he were to go out and throw for 300 yards in his first couple of games no one would care.     The circus would be over.  

Kaepernick was brave enough to tell you how he feels about things.    If every NFL player did fans would hate half the league.

 

All that said, there's zero chance the Bills do that.

Name a better QB that's currently available.

 

I'd take Matt Moore or Ryan Mallet over Kapernick.  Why?  Because Kapernick is a distraction - why can't people see this?  If he was good, maybe I'd consider it, but he's not so not worth it.

It’s a tough spot. I mean the guy is currently suing the league. I don’t really know how an owner steps out of line and offers him something with a pending lawsuit. It’s just not going to happen so it’s kind of not even worth talking about at this point. The guy did kind of choose to make it about something bigger..And while that was his right, he also needs to realize that it is the owners rights to not be interested in the circus that surrounds him.

Wrong.  Reid is suing the league too and Carolina signed him.

With all due respect to David Chao, I would personally defer to doctors who have actually examined Allen and seen results of his tests.

He has a fine hobby of examining video of plays and of sideline examinations, but I really think he's taking it a bit too far.

That could be... I think he’s usually pretty spot on, but he’s basing it almost entirely on the sideline “milking test” where Allen experienced so much pain. 

 

Still surprised he didn’t go to locker room

^^^^This

 

The only source I saw in that article was him watching the video. The length of injury he's referencing just isn't anywhere close to what McDermott said, he didn't even eliminate him from starting Sunday.
