26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) The coaches will recap yesterday's game against the Texans. I anticipate we'll get some news on Allen's elbow as well as the knee injury that Ducasse sustained. We'll see what they have to say about the upcoming opponents for week 7. Buffalo Bills Video Live The OP will be updated with live presser links as they become available. Quick Hits: Allen week to week with elbow injury It was an elbow injury that kept Josh Allen from finishing Sunday’s game against the Texans. On Monday, head coach Sean McDermott provided an update on Allen’s condition. “Josh Allen will be week to week,” said McDermott. “At this point I’ll leave it up to the docs. It’s a week to week situation.” When asked if Allen is a long shot to play on Sunday, Buffalo’s head coach said he’s leaving all options on the table including his rookie signal caller. Anderson working to get up to speed The other option in the event that Josh Allen can’t play Sunday at Indianapolis is newly acquired QB Derek Anderson. Despite being a 13-year veteran, there is a learning curve he still must travel having only been with the club for six days. “I think the newness, whether it’s the offense to some extent, the players he’d be working with,” said McDermott. “It’s just the familiarity and the trust you build over the course of reps. So that’s the challenge.” Edited October 15, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Read between the lines.... "We knew this year was going to be tougher than last year. We have a plan that we cannot say publicly. We will obviously rid ourselves of Peterman and Benjamin after the season. We are likely to trade 1 or 2 key pieces for personnel or draft picks (not sure when). Through FA and especially the draft we will address the WR and OL situations. Additionally, we'll add a top flight CB and DT. We are not thrilled with Dabol so far, but we understand he's working with some limited, and some inexperienced talent. We plan to fix that. There is no way we will fire Dabol, can you imagine how bad that would make us look? As long as we don't lose our fans or our jobs, we're secretly OK with losing these games. Higher draft picks means higher talent level moving forward. We've told the Pegula's our plan and they are on board. Next year is the year of the Bills. Just got to get through this year." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he ends up stuck with him for the next game it makes no sense to do that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his denial doesn’t stem from knowing Peterman sucks and not being able to say that publicly, which I agree with, btw. It stems from the triggered defense mechanism associated with knowing just how badly they’ve screwed the pooch on the QB situation and it being too late to do anything about it. It’s a natural psychological phenomenon. I’m simply pointing that out. If he is forced to start Peterman, it will be an act of cruelty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Peterman will get into another NFL game, ever, unless it is truly a catastrophic situation. If Allen isn't able to go Anderson will have a scaled down playbook and be asked to manage the game. Peterman is on this roster only until Allen is cleared to play. Nothing else even remotely makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I have to say, if it wasn't for this ongoing mess of a QB situation I'd be 100% on board with McD. He just comes across as a competent football coach and leader. He seems to be building the team the right way (though the execution with certain signings and draft picks, *cough* Allen *cough* Star, has been a little suspect), laying a foundation instead of just collecting talent. I really hope he's able to overcome his QB blind spot, because once that happens he'll be one of the top coaches in the NFL. He already is in most other areas.

McD has no obligation to tell us anything; or Indy for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
