Neither team wants their starting qb hurt We should all me outraged if Mismi let's Tua play in preseason and he gets injured. Guys been thru alot he should do an Andrew Luck for his future heslth.

ColoradoBills Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Having Josh take some snaps from under center and handing the ball off is ok in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations within walking distance? All sorts of options from there. If you want higher end dinner option (maybe Friday night): 1. Fogo de Chao: Brazilian steakhouse is amazing 2. Alot of standard steakhouses: Mccormick and Schmicks, Capital Grille, Eddy Vs, Ruth's Chris (all have seafood and steak - great food) Mid class options: 1. Tako : great tacos/higher end options, different style 2. Market Square has alot of good options (Primantis included- if you're looking for the Pittsburgh equivalent of Buffalo wings - sandwiches with fries and coleslaw piled on- or good option too soak up the alcohol) On the North Shore (near acrisure stadium): 1. Tons of bar food options: Southern Tier Brewery, Voodoo Brewery, The Foundry, Burgatory 2. Fancy option is Hyde Park Steakhouse 3. Alot of bars - if just want drinks, can't go wrong with any of them If you want to drive outside downtown: 1. Lawrenceville/Bloomfield area has a TON of great restaurants 2. Strip District has unique shopping/walkable area for Saturday - if you're looking to kill time. Great food / restaurants all along the Strip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season ends week 2 of preseason so be it? lol c’mon with this tough guy bs. No you don’t risk your all-world QB in the preseason.

Not really about injury prevention but it’s a good way to get a look at your backup QB. That’s how I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Foothills Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 5 hours ago, Gregg said: Understood. Injuries happen and if it happens in the regular season then nothing we can do. Those games are when teams are trying to win. No need to go all out in a meaningless preseason game. Counter argument: The Bills first team offense gets no live work and comes up flat in an opening day loss to the NY Jets and their excellent defense. Bills start 0-1. 4 hours ago, HOUSE said: I am going to this game, it's always good for a laugh. The only thing Steeler fans care about is Defense. I get to hear about the Steel Curtain and all the once feared players. Yes yes, Jack Lambert was great..... 4 hours ago, Virgil said: If TJ is lined up on Brown, run or spike the ball. TJ is gonna be coming... but the Bills know this. He will actually be game-planned for. 4 hours ago, NewEra said: I really wish we would’ve played Allen vs the colts or the bears. 2 abysmal pass rushes. Instead, we’re playing against a pretty fierce pass rush. I understand the apprehension of all those against Josh playing vs Steelers but a pro team, especially one of the stature of the Bills shouldn't be playing afraid. 4 hours ago, John from Riverside said: Dammit, just bubble wrap him 48 minutes ago, Steptide said: Knowing that McDermott and Tomlin have some kind of relationship and have known one another since college, I have a feeling we'll see some pretty vanilla defenses this weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if McD and Tomlin discussed it and just said, hey we'll go easy if you do. I could see where they might agree on things like scheme, blitzes, etc but neither man would promise to go easy from an intensity standpoint. No NFL Head Coach is wired that way and both of these guys are ridiculously competitive. 19 minutes ago, MasterStrategist said: All sorts of options from there.

Lol ok man. I’d personally not risk it in practice football world but hard to argue with your overall logic I guess But why are we traumatized? I can list more Bills QBs injured at camp than preseason. JP Losman and whoever that guy was that slip on a mat. Let’s just hope no one gets hurt. It’s how I approach every camp and preseason. I’m not going to blame the coaches if someone gets hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 9/11 when it is kicked off for real then play to win the game. That mindset is how you get hurt. If you play scared, you actually put yourself at risk. You have to be confident and all-in.
