Nihilarian Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I was kinda hoping they would rest him this week so he would have that extra week to rest. But then again I can understand the desire to have the best in there to win this one. That Titan defense is no joke #4 in points allowed. And that Henry is 6'3'' 247 lb RB is no joke either.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The stakes of this game, both for the team and the perception of Josh Allen, are HUGE. Bills Mafia could be in a tailspin 24 hours from now. Allen MUST play well, and the Bills must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 4 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: There is no confirmation that Allen or any of the 3 actually had a concussion. You can be placed in the protocol without being diagnosed. There aren’t any nfl teams shelving players after they are cleared. Yolo, I think this is a very good explanation. Look at the bottom of this post, last paragraph. I don't believe it's true that a player can be placed in the protocol without being diagnosed. It is correct that there aren't any NFL teams shelving cleared players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pawsitive you were a dawg ? 6 hours ago, MJS said: Yep. I'd do the same thing. I think both. Stage 5 the team doctors and independent ones have to clear him. So the independent doctor could clear him and then the team could choose to keep him in the protocol, I believe. I think it's the other way around, from what I've been reading. The team physician says "OK we think he's good" and then the independent neurologist has to examine and agree. So in theory, the team physician could feel the guy's good to go, but don't send him to the independent guy until they're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyFire Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) No fine for the hit. The NFL says it was a clean football play caused by Allen lowering his head and shoulders while acting as a runner. Hopefully he now knows to slide. During the Monday game I kept thinking of Allen every time Wilson (a very good runner) slid. QB's need to be smart.

BigDingus Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Glad he's ok, but still think it's a mistake to play him. As we all know, concussions are easier to reoccur after already having one, and does anyone think Allen's just going to start playing significantly different to be safer? We also have seen over 16 games that Allen plays the same, reacts the same, and makes the same decisions, good or bad, every time he's facing a certain scenario. He'll make the same awful plays you just saw him do the last time he faced that situation, and you'll see him punish a team running just like the last time the defense gave him that look. If we're in need of a 1st, especially if we're behind on the scoreboard (and definitely if Allen is the primary reason for that deficit), I expect him to run straight into those defenders trying to get the extra couple yards...EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. His health is important, and Barkley is a smart guy that has had even more time in this offense to learn the ins & outs. He's more than capable of winning this game, possibly more than Josh at this point, and should start in his stead. Giving Allen 2 extra weeks would be better to help him get a fresh start after that awful game anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will likely not soon forget it. Or maybe he will , and continue in a Cam Newton type damn-the-torpedoes mode. Regardless, if the Bills think it would be in any way beneficial to sit him and come back after the bye week then they will start Barkley tomorrow. If not, then why would they wait ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I think he played his way to the bench this week. Can anyone honestly say he gives the Bills the best chance to win after watching that game? He regressed completely.. almost got himself killed.. I'm not sure when NFL coaches decided benching your "potential" franchise QB when he plays like crap hinders their development, but I hate it. Sitting on the sideline after a game like that might just be what he needs to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had ONE bad pick in those first 3 games while averaging 250 pass yds a game and 65% comp rate and showing real signs of development. He then had one really bad game against an amazing defense putting up historical numbers...then pig slop like your post starts getting spewed onto the board. What are we supposed to do now?

He had 4 turnovers vs. the Jets. Without a top 5 defense, I don't think that's a win. He wasn't exactly "good" against the Bengals either. His lone "good" game came against the Giants where he was 19/30 250 1 TD.. Not saying I don't like Josh or see potential in him, but his career trajectory is reminiscent of EJ, whose avg QB rating was 10 points higher than Josh's at this point in their career.

Against arguably the best defense in the entire League. He was marching them down the field to win the game when they took him out. Kelly once threw 4 (or was it 5) INTs in the first half of a game and came back to win it. He ripped the reporters in his post game PC whom he asked, “Who here thought we would come back and win the game?” Lots of reporters sheepishly raised their hands, and Jim went around the room looking each in the face and pointed to each, saying, “” You’re a liar, and you’re a liar, and you’re a liar...” An epic presser.

I fully agree with this. I think we must and will make the playoffs this year to let the bread and butter of this team (Allen, Singletary, Edmunds, Oliver, ie; the young guys) get to experience the pressure of the postseason. However far we go is a bonus. Next season, if everything keeps progressing, the AFC East is surely ours and all NFL teams will be looking at the Bills as automatic loss on their schedules. Times they are a changing and we look set for a long run of being not just competitive, but dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
