“I’m doing the same thing I do every week” | QB Case Keenum prepared to step in for the Bills if needed
‘”I’ve been in all situations,” Keenum said. “Played a lot without any practice, know how to do that, step into the middle of the game. I’ve practiced some and then played, I’ve practiced very little and played. I’ve literally been in any situation you could probably think of throughout the week.”‘
Analysis: What Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s week of recovery could look like
‘“Sometimes, (the diagnosis is) identical,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of second opinions on players and we say the exact same thing as the team does. Often times, it’s not a different diagnosis, but what an appropriate treatment plan should be. That’s where you get your different opinions.”’
Position grades: Bills lost turnover battle for fourth time vs. Jets
‘Quarterback (2.0): Josh Allen probably was guilty of getting too greedy against two-deep looks the Jets were giving him in the second half. On the forced, double-pump pickoff in the third quarter, he could have checked down to James Cook for minimal gain. On a second-and-14 play on the second to last drive, he had Dawson Knox and Devin Singletary wide open underneath but forced one over the middle, probably for Stefon Diggs. That’s unless it was for Khalil Shakir, and the rookie throttled down his route in a hole in the zone. In the second quarter, Allen went deep to a double-covered Diggs with Isaiah McKenzie open underneath. The deep shot to Nyheim Hines was the right decision vs. a three-man rush. Allen might have put a little more air under it, although a safety was on that side. The first INT was his second in two weeks in the red zone. Allen threw just two red-zone INTs the previous four years. Allen’s designed runs (six for 57 yards) helped the Bills keep a semblance of balance. Against elite run defenses, the Bills need some of Allen’s designed runs.’

Alan Pergament: CBS’ Eagle, Davis didn’t dance around issues surrounding ‘discombobulated’ Bills

Jim Kubiak: Even as he took pounding, Bills QB Josh Allen keeps looking deep instead of underneath against Jets
‘Allen’s frustration in not having success down the field led to him needlessly taking more punishment than was necessary. He went to the turf too many times, took too many hits, and as a consequence toward the end of this game, like a prize fighter who had taken a beating for 14 rounds, he was too worn to muster a late rally.’
Report: Josh Allen’s elbow injury ‘short-term,’ Bills QB expected to play through the pain
‘“It is a UCL sprain, I believe is the proper term, which is a tiny tear. Some sort of an injury to his UCL (in his elbow),” Rapoport said. “If you watch it in slow motion, it’s a lot worse.”’

Examining potential situations for Josh Allen’s elbow injury
‘”In order to get the throwing mechanics to work, first you need muscles and tendons that attach the muscles to the bones in order to be intact, in order to have the throwing mechanic work,” said Dr. Jason Matuszak, Chief of Sports Medicine at Excelsior Orthopedics. “Those are something called the flexor pronator muscles on that part of the elbow, and that’ll be the first area that they want to evaluate for, to make sure that the muscles and tendons are intact and that the motion is still working.”‘
Ian Rapoport: ‘We do not know if Josh Allen is going to be on the field this week’

After Jets loss, Bills’ schedule looks different
‘It starts Sunday when Buffalo hosts the Vikings, who have won five straight and, at 7-1, have the NFL’s second-best record. And, oh by the way, Las Vegas, in the early line, still favors the Bills by 8½ points … presumably based on their performance previous to the past six periods.’
