He had weeks to prepare coming off a bye, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder takes up to a month, sometimes years to manifest. Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may start within one month of a traumatic event, but sometimes symptoms may not appear until years after the event. Edwards was NEVER the same after getting stretched out. I agree. Something happened that made it appear he didn't want to play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards was NEVER the same after getting stretched out. There are at least two...no three examples of Allen coming back fighting after an injury. His first start in college he broke his collar bone and was out for the year then when he came back he played so well that the no offer Wyoming QB was being talked about as a 1st round draft pick. In his last year at UW he had a shoulder sprain lasting two games then came back for the bowl game and had a great performance. Then last year he got injured for a while and started to light things up towards the end of the year. There is no record of Allen coming back from injury shell shocked there is plenty of history of him coming back motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been covered here 50 times. Go watch the first half of the MNF game against the Browns. After tossing all those INTs he pledged to Dick Jauron that he would never to attempt a pass beyond 10 yards again. And he never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) WHHHHHHYYYYYY does there need to be TWO threads comparing Allen to Trent Edwards? Someone please make this week stop. Trent was NOT good BEFORE the AZ game and was not good after. The fall off is a myth his most staunch supporters hid behind rather than admit they were wrong about him. He scored 1 TD per game in the over exaggerated 4-0 start against the bottom feeders of the NFL that year...MVP candidate hahahaha what a joke.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 16 hours ago, Say When... said: I went to that game, rode my motorcycle from LA to Phoenix, it was like 130 degrees (thats high desert between them cities!). i remember walking into the stadium with pride, tons of Bills fans all around, got to our seats and it was like the second play? wham! TE down and we get pummeled. if any of you have been to that stadium, there's a city walk like setup right across the street, bars, restaurants and shops and they were open all night, so adding insult to injury I got absolutely hammered; shots were in the mix and i'm a beer only guy. I tried to hook my buddy up with this chick (they eventually got together) while dragging her around trying to find him a bouncer intervened, I punched him out, got thrown out of the bar (3 guys literally threw me, my head scraped on the pavement; i deserved it tho) and woke up on the hotel floor with my shirt pulled over my head. my buddy said he needed the hotel staff to help get me to the room. the last of my misery? i had to ride home, hungover as heck, 7 hours in 130 degrees, in the desert and i didnt have a windshield yet (i was too young and cool for that back then). when i came to my senses a couple of days later i contacted the bar to apologize and pay for my tab that i never closed, they just charged me $75 as they couldn't find it. F that game, seriously, F it. anyway - I'm confident JA is not TE in any regard, dumb decisions, yes, but he's fearless and that's already 1000x NOT TE, he'll get it turned around, he's got too many people pulling for him. This is epic. It’s right up there with the shark-fishing SEALS in the IBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reader Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I admit I haven't read the previous pages but this is so bizarre. If I had to pick an unsuccessful Bill's QB to compare Josh Allen to, Trentative Edwards would be my last choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Friggin knew this would come up. Josh is not Trent and will rebound just fine do to his desire to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Josh has the skill set to be the leader of this team . I just hope this hit doesn’t scare the game out of him like it did to Trent. Great idea Chico. I always start new threads when there are already 12 other serviceable ones for my rehashed ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the thread about Brady's post game comment for more details. Playing like he has been, this was inevitable. He has to learn there is a time and place for how he runs, and a time and a place for a throwaway/slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If Trent Edwards and Tom Brady switched places I think TE would have 6 SB rings and be headed to Canton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 On 10/1/2019 at 10:06 AM, njbuff said: Allen had a bad game for sure against NE, but his coaches didn’t help him either as the constant empty backfield was maddening. That made it so easy for BB to blitz the heck out of a young QB, with little resistance. Yes, the empty backfield was a recipe BB feasted on. Whoever called for that is not a very good cook - or coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
