Einstein Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) With 4:55 remaining in the 3rd quarter, Josh Allen stumbled forward and while on the ground, was hit in the back of the head by a very large and very heavy Quinnen Williams. The video of the hit is in the tweet below. Circumstantial evidence: 1) In the video, you can see Quinnen Williams land on Allens head area. Once Quinnen rolls away, Allen raises his head for a moment, and then lowers his head back down to the turf (perhaps trying to compose himself) before getting back up. 2) The very next play, Allen threw an interception into double coverage. 3) Prior to this hit, Allen was 21 of 25, 1 TD, 1 INT (84% passing) 4) After this hit, Allen went 8 of 16, 0 TD, 2 INT, 1 Lost Fumble (50% passing) Or it could also simply be coincidence. That is also possible. The video: Mods/@Simon - If this post is better suited within another thread, please feel free to merge. I just thought it was an interesting topic.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Interesting theory. Just searching for any reason to excuse away ab utterly awful 2nd half. I’ve got to imagine it’s much more likely we’re just grasping at straws to ease the pain. 1 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Was he concussed or trying to force the ball to Diggs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That is the most logical explanation. There is quite a stark contrast pre and post hit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Doubt it. What we saw from him was his status quo. It wasn't inaccuracy or erratic behavior that caused his problems. It was well considered (from his perspective) poor decisions. You can explain each of his turnovers away through his pattern of decision making going back to college. 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBF81 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 There was another play after which he looked at the camera and it appeared that he was a little dazed. I have no idea where it was, I'm guessing in the 1st half, but I thought then that he may have had a mild concussion. Either way, if he's not careful, play like he exhibited on Sunday's going to cost the team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan in Owego Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Not trying for excuses but I did comment sometime after the game his eyes looked glassy, like he was somewhere else. Could be possible that he got his bell rung, I just thought at the time he was on some kind of sugar high. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good mate… I’m still in a bit of shock too 👍… Whatever the reason… they better turn it around like now… these next two games are absolutely must wins .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 When he first hit, I feared it but he bounced back quickly so I knew he was fine. I’m sure we have all hit our head and was dazed for a split second…that’s what it looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I thought at one point, not sure when , that he may have been hit in the head and fully expected him to go into the tent. He didn’t so I guess not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Honestly, pretty solid circumstantial evidence. That was the equivalent of a rabbit punch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I think he must have been concussed when he attempted a butt fumble in the 4th quarter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieEm Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 11 minutes ago, Einstein said: Agreed. That is the most logical explanation. There is quite a stark contrast pre and post hit though. Not enough evidence but it certainly would be a valid reason for the play deteriorating by stats tracked. So it cannot be dismissed as not possible. It also would be a valid reason to bench Josh for a few plays to have the Bills staff check him out to be sure there. That's we here the players themselves need to be front center when they get dinged a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 There was also the play when Josh took off up the middle and #11 on the Jest made a shoestring tackle. Josh face-planted hard. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
