HappyDays Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It has been theorized by many that Allen has been struggling with some kind of shoulder injury this season. Apparent confirmation here: FWIW CJ Caggiano is a reputable insider, I've followed him for a while. Every year he has schedule leaks that turn out to be correct, and he has given a couple injury updates that turned out to be correct as well. Take the info how you will, but if true it could possibly explain some of the recent mechanical issues Allen has had on some of his throws. 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I hope that’s the problem because I’m concerned Josh isn’t reading the field as well. Maybe he is reading the field well but knows he doesn’t have the juice with the shoulder to hit those deep shots consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I’m assuming we’re talking about his right shoulder…it seems to me that Josh is throwing the ball just fine; it’s his timing and choice of targets that seems off. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 They should've just listed him as "Probable" in the weekly injury reports, as that would at least take SOME of the heat off him. Joe Burrow got a free pass for being one of the worst QBs in the league the first 3 or 4 weeks (statistically), as did Lawrence for recent struggles. I don't buy the excuse "that'll just make people target him more!" either. They're already trying to do that, especially since they know they'll get opportunities with him running a lot. If the injury is anywhere as notable as that tweet makes it out to be, they're doing him a disservice by trying to hide it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Didn't we know this already? https://billswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/16/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-shoulder-new-york-giants-injury-nfl/ It's been pretty obvious he hasn't been right. The biggest worry is that his throwing shoulder keeps taking damage year over year as he was hurt last year as well. If he's not 100% they really should have done a better job figuring out a passing game that he can work with. getting the running game going the last 3 weeks has been huge, but that won't cut it down the stretch. I don't understand why they don't work int he faster guys in space more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I take all of this stuff with a large grain of salt. If Josh can't throw without hurting himself or making it worse, they wouldn't have him out there. His coach isn't Mike McDaniel, for crissake.

Airseven Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 So Allen has a shoulder/AC joint issue that doesn’t require surgery. But can’t disclose anything further due to competitive integrity. 🤡 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 6 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: Probable isnt a designation any more, only questionable and doubtful Well damn, I'm behind the times. Thanks for the correction. In that case, change it to "questionable," just something so that the world is aware he's dealing with something significant (allegedly). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was my same thought. Gotta keep the competitive advantage. They may know he's injured, that its a serious injury, what part of his body is injured, but they will never know what the medical words for the injury are!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows someone else that is up close in the organization and deals with daily operations there that apparently has access to a players health information and hipaa info but has no schedule info anymore when the schedule is released.

You'll have to take my word for it, CJ doesn't make stuff up. He is reporting something he was told by an inside source. FWIW Kyle Trimble of Banged Up Bills retweeted it so he also believes the report is reputable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are that luck will run out at some point. Luck/fortune doesn't have anything to do with his availability. Only reason he isn't missing time is he's a tough SOB. The injuries have been bad now all the way back to that Texans game years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
