Allen playing!


Process

I know Allen starting isn't 100% certain yet, but assuming he does, Imo this was the most over blown injury in bills history 

If he starts, we'll know he wasn't really "injured" at all.

 

More of a "dinged up" type situation.

 

If it actually is an injury, and he starts, someone should be fired.

Flew 2500 miles and bought the most expensive Bills tickets of my life for this. Talked myself into being fine with Case but this now feels like a gd holiday. Tomorrow is going to be insane.

I’m coming in for the game from Windsor Ontario. I felt the same and bought into the Case Diggs revenge game for a win. Super pumped now and hopefully everyone can  just stay healthy as I spent quite a bit for the Thanksgiving game as well. 

Let’s Go!!

That’s kind of how I see it. Or they don’t think he’s a full go and he’s on a pitch count.

I don't see how a "pitch count" makes any sense at all with White and his injury.

 

I know people in the press keep repeating this.

 

Either he can play without risk of any injury, etc., and is strong enough to play, or he isn't.

He could get injured any play 

 

This team is safe with injuries if they felt real season ending danger I don’t think they would let him play

Yes but for the board idiots that think he should play at any cost.

 

What would be the worst case scenario for tomorrow

 

We lose

We fall a game behind someone in our conference

We would stilll be 6 and 3

and.......Josh Allen heals.   Does anybody really think we are going to lose home games with a healthy Allen against the jets and fins?

Hey, I’m happy he can be the emergency  backup meaning he’s capable of needed, but I really hope they rest him.  That injury can worsen and it wouldn’t kill them to let Case play vs. an opponent not really in the equation for the matchups as it pertains to the playoffs.  It’s more important he’s there for the Brownies next week.

 

what’s the harm in a rest week, and babying that elbow for 13 days.  I just don’t want the nightmare of it getting worse.  It’s an irrational fear as I know he’s tough as nails. 

Every word you write here is correct, which is why I don't think he's playing.

Perhaps he has already healed?

I have info second hand, from an MD.

 

JA17 has a UCL sprain. It needs 4 weeks to  heal. If you rush it, you risk career ending injury.

 

Start Case Keenum tomorrow.

"An MD" who personally examined JA17 or otherwise discussed his status with someone with direct knowledge?

A random spattering of comments from Twitter:

 

Can’t beat Tua

 

Very poor idea

 

Welp: there goes the Thanksgiving Game #Lions

 

This is not an accurate headline. We don't know if Allen will start or be the backup.

 

He wasn't even wearing a brace on Friday. The media speculation well exceeded what the Bills actually disclosed.

 

This is a very bad decision.

 

Big mistake.

 

He fitting to throw for 73 yards

 

Incoming Tommy John Surgery bc #BILLS careless and Reckless behavior!! This called for Rest, multiple weeks. UCL Tears don't just magically heal. Everyone who knows anything medically from Dr Chao etc. Rest. Yet #Bills are determined to jeopardize their franchise Qb

I just can't believe Josh is going to start and play the game.

 

The only that makes sense to me is if his "injury" was a hell of a lot more minor than we all thought it was.

 

 

It was always, always, always a possibility that he just tweaked the nerve. The hindsight where he was massaging his forearm and flexing his fingers, rather than on his knees in pain like last time, before flicking one 70 yards in the air, makes that even more likely. 

 

There was just mass hysteria and shoddy reporting.

That’s the most likely scenario…the guy hurt his elbow and then threw an absolute rocket on the next pass is all we know for a fact.
 

everything else was nfl reporters tweeting in a way like ‘bills fear josh Allen may have a serious elbow injury’

This is getting ridiculous - We appear to have a super conservative team when it comes to the handling of injuries - If Josh plays, he's viewed as essentially 100% with no risk of injury or "injury" getting worse.  NONE of us are privy to the actual results of MRIs, etc. and NONE of us have spoken with the actual team physician(s), and even if someone has, HIPPA likely prevents any discussion of what the physicians know about his health status.  There has been speculation all week and we as Bills fans had every reason to be SUPER worried, but the actual data points are what they are and if we see no activation of Barkley, and Josh starting, that fills in all of the blanks for us, by and large.
