If there is a 5% chance of an injury (which is a super-conservative estimate) it’s 5% more than they need to take. That’s the point. Ha ha, Merry Christmas ya filthy animal Kirby, save your angst for this Saturday when your QB *is* actually playing injured in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not an argument against anything - it’s a factor (not the only factor) that realistically goes into any decision of whether a healthy player plays in a regular season game.

sullim4 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'd be fine with this if it was anybody but Greggggo, Marrone (obviously), or Belichick on the other sideline. I think the risk of injury against any of these three guys is too great... so I would sit the starters if it were me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse may not if he’s dinged up but he’s practicing today If they feel the need to risk Allen’s health, then yes I agree they should do their best to protect him. i just think it’s stupid to have him not wear a baseball cap all day Sunday.

BeastMaster Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Guys on offense need to play. Guys on defense need the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I read it as McDermott and co. want these guys to get as much experience as possible. The more film study, preparation, and playing time the young guys get now the better they will be in the long run. I can see both sides, I am just along for the ride and don't have to answer for the decisions made at OBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If they only throw 3 passes the first 29 minutes as they did last week I’m cool with that, as long as Gore & Yeldon carry the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if GOD FORBID Allen gets hurt Even if Allen comes in for couple of handoffs I still would NOT take that chance , I hate and do NOT trust the Jets ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 You literally can get hurt in practice as easy as in a game Injuries are a generally random occurrence and the Bills do need the work We aren't a dynasty, we don't have #1 locked up, we aren't defending champs.. we are the Buffalo Bills... A young team that still needs to grow. ? the players should be playing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Love this, breaking the mold again, and with a reason. The Bills are good but need to get better to have a chance to win some playoff games, clearly. They won't get better by not playing, so play 'em. I don't think they will play all game, but it is a good move I think, and one that will be looked back upon as such. Go Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why you don’t have an answer. Any difference that there might be is all perception. an injury is an injury. The result is the player can’t play regardless if it happens last week, this week, or next week. Still the same outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
