Kevin1778 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Josh Allen has not played a game in 4 weeks. He has yet to listed as Full in a single practice, meaning he has been Limited or has not practiced at all in a month. Any coach who starts a franchise quarterback without being listed as Full in a single practice, coming off an injury like his, should be fired. Start Barkley if he is afraid to start Peterman. But do not risk the future of the Buffalo Bills so a 2-7 team can possibly win a game. If Allen plays and is injured, Fire McDermott on the airplane tarmac, just like the Raiders did to Kiffen. The fact McDermott hasn't already rule him out makes one wonder if he should be anything more than a defensive coordinator. This young player needs a full week of FULL practice before he should ever get back on the field against a real defense.

GimmeSomeProcess Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) If yes healthy he absolutely needs to play, if we’re that nervous about injury sit him the rest of the year then Edited November 10, 2018 by GimmeSomeProcess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be blending the worry of his injury with him maybe not having enough game prep. If he's healthy maybe not getting the full practices in the week make the game harder for him but that doesn't really have anything to do with his injury.

Because he is the franchise quarterback, not some linebacker. 1 minute ago, Warcodered said: You seem to be blending the worry of his injury with him maybe not having enough game prep.

Either way he doesn't need to play until after the bye when he has had some full practices. This is a 2-7 team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel101 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He has been throwing a 100 passes a day all week. That is twice the amount he would throw in a game. Let him play at this point he needs the reps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays it comes down to: is he ready to go with limited practice time and two more days of rest - or are they playing him hurt because they're idiots.

Patrick Duffy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 As much as I'd like to see Allen play somemore and hopefully progress, I would rather they wait til after the bye also and let him finish out the year and hopefully improve enough for us to be hopeful next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Allen is healthy I don't think limited game prep stops him from starting with our list of back-ups. I don't want them to get him a worse injury either but if he's healthy he plays, every rep counts. Edited November 10, 2018 by Warcodered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his elbow is good enough to throw then he is good enough to get hit. The reason he was benched was because he couldn’t throw because of the injury. And he needs as many as he can get because he is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want a guy who was your top 10 pick, who hasn't been hit in a month, who is coming off an injury to his throwing arm, to start a game for a 2-7 team when they have a bye next week? Insanity.
