steven50 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 McDermott said Allen and the rest of the starters will play for about a quarter and a half. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-vs-pittsburgh-steelers-preseason-preview-josh-allen-starters-stefon-diggs-kenny-pickett I really want other peoples opinions on the pros and cons of the starters playing that much. I am not saying I object but It kind of surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Based on our offense last year and Dorsey’s need for improvement I think it is a good idea. We have system and personnel changes we need to work on. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) First game that counts will be against a division rival, gotta knock the rust off at some point. Be nice if TJ Watt didn't play and hope the Pittsburgh's turf isn't one that's prone to injuries, Edited August 18, 2023 by twist_to_open 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabstblueribbon Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think its been getting a little chippy on the practice field. Let the big dogs get some exercise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th&long Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don’t really want Allen playing after the beat down he put on them last year. I am afraid they will want some pay back and take some cheap shots even tho it’s preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not any more worried about injuries tomorrow than I am when they practice, or play a pre-season, regular season or playoff game.

Buffalo Boy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It’s football. They have to get some live reps before the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I've been on record not a single starter should take a single snap in preseason. Zero reward. All risk. I wouldn't play any of them at all. Let the roster bottom feeders fight for their jobs. 9 minutes ago, Buffalo Boy said: It’s football. They have to get some live reps before the season. No they don't. Covid proved they did not. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I like the starters playing to get the rust out under semi-real game conditions. But I want the players, especially Allen, to play smart and avoid hits at the expense of a negative play. Throw away the ball, dont run, go down fast - anything to avoid a hard tackle or hit. There are players on the other team looking to make the roster and dont care if they bring the hurt on the opposition. Be cognizant of that and protect your body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I would play them the entire game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 This is a very forgiving board we have here.. If a key player goes down for the season, everybody will understand. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
