JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Keenum's lively arm can keep defenses honest on early downs. But I can see Allen being of value in short yardage situations where throwing shouldn't do further damage but the threat of him doing Josh Allen things opens stuff up. Plus it makes defenses have to plan for 2 QBs. 2 5 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Food_Pyramid_Wrong Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Josh is always talking about improving himself, being a better version of himself, etc. You know, he could have spent some time in the offseason working on throwing left handed. Then we would not be in this mess. 1 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If he can play he starts and plays all the plays. If he can't then he sits. Pretty simple. You don't bring your injured franchise QB off the bench to run a QB sneak or end around. 4 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So now that Josh is injured as a thrower, we should definitely keep working on injuring him as a runner? 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't bring your injured franchise QB off the bench to run a QB sneak or end around. While I normally would back this logic, I will say the injury is a minor one to his throwing elbow. So don't think there is much chance of further injury to his specific injury if we used him in some 3rd and short, 4th and short, or goal line situations. Even though the most important thing is making a SB and winning it, we are still the #1 seed in the AFC only by a tie breaker, and we are only a half game up on our division while also being 0-2 in our division. So, this game is still important both in our quest for home field advantage as well as winning our division. And for that, I wouldn't be opposed to see Josh used creatively in a way that doesn't put his elbow injury at risk if we needed it this game.

Big Turk Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I am not sure why people assume he can't play with this injury. What he injured is not going to effect much of anything in terms of throwing the ball. The only way to reinjure it is if he gets hit exactly the same way again which is unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Not sure we could spare 3 roster spots for QBs! You'd need one for Keenum, one for Josh's limited usage, and a third for a backup to Keenum, in case he goes down himself, possibly even early in the game.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Allen has an understood and well documented injury. Its 2022, humans have all sorts of imaging devices at their disposal. When he is healthy to go, he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Why can’t we give Josh the Gronkowski elbow weapon? Or did they change those rules after the Pats used it just like the no substitution plays they banned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don't think the Bills would let him play if tests showed any significant injury. The focus on how badly he could be injured with no way to know his medical details, might possibly open up the deep routes if Minn believes his injury could make him not throw as much.

I agree 💯 Although I could see McD / Dorsey doing something awkward like that if Josh is feeling some discomfort. but if there is no pain or discomfort + tests show no damage, I think they’ll play Josh the whole game.

TheCockSportif Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If JA17 plays, and it's close, I find it impossible to believe that he won't be in it until the very end of the game. The drop off from #1 to #2 is significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
