Dorsey may decide to pull out a trick play or 2 and shock the world. There's a thought. If it works its Genius. If it doesn't he's in the dog house. Players speak about having confidence in him. Prove it to us Keenum. We WANT to love you 🙏 m Edited November 11, 2022 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure Minny already has their scouting/adjustments prepared, in case Allen plays. At this point, not sure the uncertainty changes anything for them. Not sure Coach is thr type to go thru theatrics. His comments aren't always specific, but if Josh is practicing limited likely points to 50/50...see if Barkley called up tomorrow. FP=100% playing IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media also had like 5 min of access to see stretching. So who knows, but very likely Case playing, will know injury report later and tomorrow by 4pm if Barkley is called up.

In my eyes it's pretty clear Allen is not playing. He hasn't touched the field all week. Many seem to be holding on to false hope. Folks look at the evidence. We all know coach McD isn't going to tell us anything but vague statements. Keenum will have to not lose this game because he's not going to win it. The Bills defense is going to have to win it. It's possible but it just got harder with Poyer and Rosseau out. How do they stop Cook? Jefferson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this coaching staff's history and common sense, three straight DNPs almost certainly equates to a missed game.

Still think Case plays. Seriously? I don't understand you and @Logic and @BuffaloBaumer and your ilk. It's absolutely still possible that Josh sits, but it seems like in some of your minds you delusionally think you know the extent of Josh's injury when you obviously don't have a clue. If Josh is healthy and there's no risk of worsening the injury other than a freak incident like Huff's hit, you friggin play Josh Allen. And if it's nerve irritation and it's better now, that's probably the case. If it's a super extreme minor sprain... I'm no Doctor but I've sprained my ankle plenty and minor ones take a few days to feel 100%, not weeks. Josh has talked all about the stretching and work he does for his body in the offseason, maybe he's 100% already. Regardless of whatever the participation status today will be it's clear he was there participating to at least some degree with pads on. McDermott changed his designation to hour to hour instead of day to day. What about this sounds like Josh not trending towards playing? You guys just doing the Billsy thing of talking up to worst so as not to be let down? Honestly... my main reason for thinking Case might play at this point is McDermott setting Keenum up for a revenge game all week, not wanting to let him down and having an excuse with Allen’s injury.

It's absolutely still possible that Josh sits, but it seems like in some of your minds you delusionally think you know the extent of Josh's injury when you obviously don't have a clue. Likewise. None of us know a thing. I'm following obvious context clues, like several missed (or curtailed) practices in a row for Josh. Case Keenum getting first team reps all week. Based on everything I have seen, heard, and read, and based on the practice reports this week, I am GUESSING -- and I do feel that it's an educated guess based on the previously mentioned context clues -- that Josh sits. I don't know, Baumer doesn't know, and neither do you.

Aesop Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 3 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Bills lost to the Jets (20th in scoring, 8th in point allowed) with Josh Allen. Vikings are 8th in scoring and 12 in points allowed. Vikings have also had a cupcake schedule, outside of the Eagles in week 2. W1 vs Packers who allow 20.9 ppg (15th) W2 vs Eagles who allow 16.9 ppg (4th) W3 vs Lions who allow 29.3 ppg (32nd) W4 vs Saints who allow 25.2 ppg (29th) W5 vs Bears who allow 24 ppg (21st) W6 vs Dolphins who allow 24.9 ppg (26th) W8 vs Cardinals who allow 26.8 ppg (31st) W9 vs Commanders who allow 21.3 ppg (16th) They have faced one top ten defense and lost 24-7. Now they face the Bills, who even with all the injuries only allow 14.8 ppg, which is first in the NFL. If you are going to throw statistics around you should probably dig into the strength of schedule. It's kind of important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, there is no film on Keenum and the Bills unless you think seven attempts in mop up duty of two blowout wins is anything meaningful for them to glean any tendencies from. Not having game film with Keenum at QB for the Bills may complicate their preparation to some small degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
