Trubisky playing time against the Jaguars

[maryland-bills-fan]

I think that we can easily beat the Jag's even without Allen playing at all.  I can see several very good reasons to do that.

 

• There is a chance that Allen might get hurt by a freak play and we can avoid that chance if he is holding a clipboard
• Allen has been getting hit some and two weeks without contact will give him a chance to get completely healthy and freshen his legs.
• It will serve as a dress-rehearsal for Trubisky playing in a real game in the case that Allen does miss time in the rest of the season.
• Trubisky can polish his resume and audition for a starting spot for some other team next year

                           o   This would increase his value for giving us a FA-loss comp pick. 

                           o   This would increase his value if we resign him and then trade him for a draft pick or another player

                            o  This would help the Bills attract new, high-quality, veteran FA's, since the would see an opportunity to showcase themselves, ever if they didn't crack the

                                 Bill's starting lineup .         

 

How much playing time would you like to see Trubisky get this coming week?

All depends on the score.  If we're up by 5TD's in the 3Q, put him in as early as possible.

Assume, for this poll, that the Bills are dominating and are up around 17 points,,,  (or less if it is early in the game)

Not enough.  Game has to be WAY out of reach for the Jagoffs.  17 ain't enough to pull 17.

Is there any other answer than run the clock out in the 4th?

We should start Frank Reich!!

I think he will be kinda busy coaching the Colts

I understand your poll is based on the argument that the Bills are comfortably ahead at some point. So, I am not bashing it. I believe they should win and that they will. But I never like predicting blow outs. It is still the NFL and, remember, they played the Cardinals pretty even and it took a pick six by the Cardinals to pull ahead in that game going into the 4th quarter, before adding an insurance touchdown at the end.

 

Hopefully, your wishes come true and we see Trubisky! 

[Matt_In_NH]

We should make sure to win the game....no matter what people assume, those are legit NFL players in Jacksonville.  You start dropping the ball, missing tackles, giving up some big plays you can actually lose...it is possible.

[dpberr]

As we're now entering the later stages of the season, he should be playing at minimum, the entire 4th quarter of games where the Bills are up by 2+ scores.  It's more or less the starting pitcher + closer in baseball.

We will play down to them. Close game. Never a dull moment with these Bills.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.  That Miami game was a nail biter in first half.  

[BillsFanThru-N-Thru]

I vote for the 5-7 minutes at the end of the game.  Can't wait I'll be there!!  I live down in Florida so I'll be hitting all 3 games, one down, this one and then finally TB

all these games are tuff, he shouldn't take anyone lightly.  It great to be confident, but lets focus on getting the win with no injuries.

That's a pretty big assumption. Jacksonville almost beat Arizona. They are still an NFL team.

[dollars 2 donuts]

If I may quote the great Mahatma Gandhi, "I got a bad feeling about this."

 

I don't think we are going to be in for the type of game that many think it is going to be.  

 

Please let me be wrong.

Wise words

 

 

[Coach Tuesday]

These types of threads.... let the KC fans act like this.  We should be staying humble until we get that Lombardi.

Bet you said we would easily beat Miami too.

I remember when everyone (outside Buffalo) thought U of Alabama could beat the Bills in JA's rookie year. Remember the point spread going in to the Vikings game?
