Knock the rust off and iron out any lingering communication issues in the 1st quarter against the Rams if need be. Sure, injuries can happen anytime, but that does not mean playing them isn’t risking a lot. Last thing a team with Super Bowl aspirations needs is a significant injury or heaven forbid losing a key player for the season before it starts. I'd rather they knock the rust off against the Broncos than Aaron Donald. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 13 hours ago, Big Turk said: Which is kinda crazy since he took the Vikings to the playoffs and had a pretty good season there. There's something to be said for the notion that Pat Shurmur knows something about how to get the most out of a QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2022/08/why-the-bills-are-playing-josh-allen-vs-broncos-on-saturday-in-2nd-preseason-game.html Quote Allen has mentioned several times how important it is for him to get used to hearing Dorsey’s voice in his helmet during the game. “Josh will be hearing a new voice in his ear as well,” McDermott said. “That’s certainly one of the (reasons he’s playing). And it’s probably, I don’t know how big it is, but it’s one of them. ... I think there’s a lot that we want to put into practice in a game that we’ve been practicing.” McDermott said that Allen and most of the starters will play a healthy amount. He didn’t specify whether that will mean multiple series or when he’ll pull them out of the game. Personally I think they want to get Allen and the offense some reps against a defense other than the Bills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I like how they handled it last year waiting until the third preseason game. The Steelers just had a good game plan and Daboll was too stubborn to go to the run earlier. I guess with a new OC they feel they need more than that. Just don’t get hurt please.

Superbowl bill Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 This preseason game vs the broncos reminded me all week of our BILLS player that got hit on the kickoff. Kevin Everett #87. I thought about his sacrifice to our team. The best part of the story I remember is hear Mr. Wilson had be a contributing to to research for spine injuries and they somehow saved this young man's life and future. Truly a proud BILLS moments in a hard time for us alll. I wonder did he ever walk again. I hope so and best wishes to him and family. GOBILLS!

TFBillsfan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) I would expect the offensive starters will be focused on the run game and a lot of quick passes. I would also expect to see the 2nd tier WR’s sprinkled in to see how they perform with Josh. Great opportunity for OJ Howard with Knox most likely not playing.
