We will beg for Josh Allen to be rushed back and wont win another game until he returns to the starting line-up You're right. His 80 yards of passing are going to be sorely missed. He's averaging 138 per game for the season. I think Mahomes and Brady both had more than that in the last 5 minutes of the game last Sunday night.

Ha ha I was thinking the same thing, I hope he'll have a good game against the Colts and be crowned the saviour. Follow it up with a bad game and so we go back into meltdown because that's what this board is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aspire to be the bottom 5th. They are actually playing serviceable currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a week as a Bill, Anderson should be able to pick up the playbook a lot quicker than a rookie who, to make things worse, didn't get to work with the first team as a penciled in starter would in TC. The play book with Allen at the helm cant be dumbed down any further- Dabolls offense is a joke and would suck in college too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BmarvB Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Winning 3 of the next 4 is not an unrealistic possibility. We have a better chance with a rusty vet than we do with pickoff Peterman. And as an extra bonus, Allen gets to step back and watch how an experienced pro handles things. The time off watching and learning should really help him 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I am not saying that Anderson is the answer but our defense has to have taken some of the pressure off in Anderson's mind. If something is not there he will be more likely to throw the pass away versus trying to extend a play only to be sacked, fumble, or throw an int. A vet's mentality versus a rookie trying to impress the HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going to be cautious with Allen. I would be shocked as long as Anderson looks even remotely decent if they don't stick with him until the Dolphins game December 2nd where Allen can come back and play the last 5 games of the season after resting 6 weeks. If the Bills go 1-2 in the next 3 games they slide to 3-6, still possible to make the playoffs but the team isn't rushing Aaron Rodgers back to try and salvage a season. If the Bills go 0-3 (which is very possible if they lose to the Colts) in the next 3 then the team is 2-7 and the season is cooked. If Allen was healthy and you are 2-7 then go for it let the rookie play. But there is no need to risk further injury by playing him a week or two early. I just don't see a reason to rush Allen back until at least week 12 against the Jags which would be after the bye week. If the Jags are playing great defense or Anderson is playing better than expected maybe sitting Allen until the Dolphins game might be the better idea.

By the trade deadline we'll know whether they consider this season to be a complete rebuilding year. If they trade Shady, then they're officially throwing in the towel and tooling up for next year's draft. If not, it means they think there's still a chance, however remote it may be, to have a winning season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, if Shady goes away , we are calling it a wash. But how do you do that with the defense playing so well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
