Mrbojanglezs Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If he is doing anything in shorts at tomorrow's practice then there is a chance he will play. If hes not even doing the light aerobic stuff yet on Wednesday than its very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DtownB2 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Kinda was expecting Josh Allen to come running out that tunnel to Stone Cold Steve Austin's walkout music... woulda been unreal. Ditto what most people have said.. if he doing light work in shorts/limited tomorrow i think there's a good chance he'll play. If not we have Barkley - who didn't look terrible against the best D in the league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep2Moulds46 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 He can be in the protocol up until Saturday and still play Sunday. The key, as others have mentioned before, is what stage is he? If he is at stage 2-3 he can participate in meetings, and some parts of practice. Stages 4 and 5 are essentially full go football activity. We'll know a lot tomorrow. If he's not at practice, chances are he's still in the rest stage which would be a bad sign. I will say....considering how different Allen/Barkley are, I do expect the Bills to play this out until the last possible moment to limit the Titans' preparation.

Happy Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Belichick has no problem with the hit...of course not. Maybe it's time to change the way you coach your defensive players, Bill. In the mean time Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 4 hours ago, NoHuddleKelly12 said: Not sure if already posted somewhere upthread, but I found this interesting from Peter King's column yesterday, discussing advances in concussion/head related trauma prevention that's coming to market soon--wish the Bills already had this! Excerpt below: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/09/30/nfl-power-rankings-week-4-fmia-peter-king/ "4. I think this is the most interesting thing I learned this week: There’s a doctor in Florida who is working to develop a topical cream for football players to use pre-game to reduce the effects of head trauma during the game, and also a nasal spray to be used after a concussive blow, to lessen the length of time for recovery from a concussion. The doctor, Jake VanLandingham of Florida State, is in the trial phase with these medications. These medications wouldn’t be solely for football either—the military, with its history of concussive incidents in combat, is interested as well. “It would be good for football, and good for the military,” VanLandingham said. “But it’d also be good for the U.S. health-care industry. We could save billions in health-care costs.” The savings could come, VanLandingham thinks, if the recovery time for a concussion went from 10 or 12 days to five, which is his forecast with the nasal spray after a concussion is suffered … and, if the brain had been pre-treated with the trans-dermal cream on the side of the neck before a concussive blow, the effect of the hit would be lessened because a neurological anti-inflammatory had been used. “It’s like a brain shield,” VanLandingham said of the pre-game trans-dermal cream. He expects a couple of college football programs to be using some of the medication by 2020. This is one of the most hopeful things I’ve heard about concussion treatment in years." Yeah...I am gonna stay as far away from that as I can for maybe 10 years. At least v.3.0. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. A couple HS or Pro football/soccer/lacrosse etc. players are directed to use the wonder cream/spray, and somebody permanently scrambles their eggs.Use the spray and cream, and follow the exact same timeline, because brain health is important.

He did have 2 documented concussions with the Bills but didn’t play the next game for variety of reasons. The first was week 3 of the preseason and the 2nd was in the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 2 hours ago, John from Riverside said: I went back and looked at something I picked up on during the game to reaffirm. Gore had excellent runs but he tired....and when he did they dint trot Yeldon out there....they ran Josh on designed runs....I FIRMLY believe that they dont do those runs if they had a fresh back that they felt could make plays......keeping Gore fresh....when Josh started throwing picks I firmly beleve Debol brings it back to the vest because our D was holding Brady and company in check. This is not a knock on Gore...he simply is not a 25 carry back any more AND Its Motor.....every time he touches the ball something good happens. If only we had a solution for RB depth a few weeks ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If I'm the Bills i allow Josh to get his head clear, sit this one out and watch Matt Barkley run the offense for a week. I think Matt has enough ability to manage the game and get it done. Tennessee's defense is tricky. They aren't New England but they disguise a lot on nearly every play. Let's see Josh come back in 2 weeks vs. Miami and really get it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I want Josh to play. Mostly because Im going to the game and we better not lay a stinker in Nashville against a crappy Titans team after I went through all this trouble But also because we have the Bye coming up right after this week. Let Josh play, and then take 2 weeks to rest. Same with Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 seriously. i know its not something we pay attention to on other teams but can anyone list any documented protocols that started on a sunday and ended in time for a player to take the field the following sunday? just doesn't seem like it happens anymore.

The oldest RB in the league played very well against the Pats....he was our only offense. The play where Allen got injured wasn't a running play. I was shocked at first with the news but understand it now. McCoy is one of the highest paid RB's in the league. He would have been a part time player with us and that's a lot of cash for that. They weren't going to cut McCoy if Singletary didn't show all that promise in camp. We've seen him and what he can do....he looks to be special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
