LyndonvilleBill Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Have a feeling we will have our most Holding penalties called in this game then we have had so far this season. Protect Josh at all costs. If You are getting beat, grab the guy. Do NOT let them get to to Josh! No matter what! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob71 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 As cautious and level headed as McBeane have been with injuries, I find it funny the few takes and comments Ive seen and read that Bills are being reckless starting Allen. I guess alot of the misinformation is due to the secrecy they operated with all week. Some in the media and some fans like to think they are all knowing, but most of their talking points and predictions are wild speculation and at best educated guesses. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s injured enough to not to start, he should be injured enough to not to be backup. jmo It could also be that they think Allen at 80% is better than Barkley at 100%.

If Allen is injured (and I think he is) he should be inactive. I don’t really understand what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I also hope we aren't pulling a RG3 on this. Ten years of Josh is more important than the next 3 or 4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen at 80% is also better than Keenum at 100%. Injury risk is a binary decision. He either is at higher risk, or he is not. If it is higher risk, you don't put him in to sub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Obviously there can’t be must risk to make this injury worse by common game events. The way McDermott is, no chance he’s out there without being super cautious. It actually is something I can’t stand about our game day roster management but whatever. The thing that is annoying is the way people speak about the fear of this thing being a catastrophic long term risk…..it’s football. Even when playing 100% healthy, in “brand new condition” you are risking your career on every snap. Literally any play, healthy or not could be it. Don’t worry about 5 years down the road because any play can be the last one. No future is certain. People play this game with wreck less abandon because that’s what you have to do. If the DR says he’s good, then let’s go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if there was video of a player getting hit in the leg - and a bunch of internet doctors start crying - "It's his knee! Looks like ACL! Could be out a year!" - when in fact after examination by the actual team doctors they determine it's just a deep thigh bruise. Would people be crying "Don't jeapordize his career!" if they knew what the real doctors knew - that there was zero long term risk related to the injury if the player plays Edited November 13, 2022 by stevewin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice Spencer Brown is back. His back up was the one that got beat on the injury. Or... Josh could have went the Jim Kelly route when he angrily called out his OLine, namely Ballard... That's not JA17's style. Going the more passive aggressive route with the team is better here, IMO. Maybe coming this close to getting their dear leader killed will get the team's mind right. Maybe this motivates the team? They ain't the "Bickering Bills" anymore... I don’t think the bills would hold Josh out of practice just to psyche Minnesota up. It is a disadvantage to not be getting the reps in at practice/preparing for the opponent. Especially after a bad offensive performance, I think they probably wanted to get as many reps as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If qbs didn’t play with injuries that are as minor as Josh’s probably is I don’t think they’d ever play I think some nfl reporters took that quote from the bills ‘we fear he has a sprained ucl’ after the jets game and ran with it. There’s no actual evidence that the injury is remotely serious Edited November 13, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, with Josh, I don't believe he needed the physical reps as much as the mental reps this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
