My God how many holding calls are going to be called? This is freaking unwatchable Mariotta is a total joke... It's like he was surprised to see the sideline... Lol

Totally dumb play!

Maybe he'll go easy at first... Lol

It's a long season... IF we lost to go to 6-3 there are plenty of games left. I could see 12-5 in that scenario, or even 11-6 if Allen misses a few weeks. Either way, we get into the tournament.

We need Allen's elbow 100% for the playoffs. It almost doesn't matter where we play or who we play. Yes, we WANT home playoffs games, and that bye is huge. But a close to 100% Bills team is going to beat anyone anywhere. If I play a 1:1 basketball game vs LeBron James to 20 points (using 2's and 3's, not the silly 1 point per basket rule some use) it aint going to matter where we play, I'm going to lose. I bet I'd score 4-6 points though!

A partial UCL tear will eventually heal on its own?

injuries We lost our all pro safety tandem, haven't had our top CB, and lost our playmaking beast of a LB in Milano. That taking 4 of the top defensive players off the field and replacing them with a bunch of rookies, who have played about as well as you could expect, maybe better. But that's a lot. Subtract 4 of the top players on any defense in the league and it's going to hurt.

That's interesting... Never thought about that.

I truly believe it's a lack of focus that accounts for sloppiness and a missing "edge" Same thing happened last year. Remember the Schopps of the world gleefully having the stat geeks on to talk about Allen's "regression"? He was good, but there were stretches where it got a bit ugly and seemed like the offense was broken. Then, the playoffs started and we never seemed to punt and Allen and the offense looked unstoppable. IMO, we're to the point where most regular season games are games to get through without injuries and a W so that we can get to the REAL games.

Allen not tweeting or saying anything worries me a bit, and IMO it's likely because the extent is just not known yet.

Good lord Dalton

I guess I had no no idea what Cousins is like but I wouldn't have guessed this persona

Every single play is a Lamar run Falcons had a decent shot based on their schedule but their QB throws for like 50 yards a game

Yeah that does give me hope. I was certain that yesterday would be his big turnaround but he was terrible and the Rams didn't play defense or even try to cover the WR that last drive. Bucs are bad and their HC is awful. Still... Hopefully they are at least 4th seed so they get Dallas or SF or someone like that round 1 They should have stayed with Winston. At least he made plays

Stupid Saints... I thought they might have a chance to do something useful and win that division, ending any chance of a Brady Super Bowl. Oh well, honestly that was a little greedy to hope for anyway. Gotta have at least once super high stress playoff game to get through

Dalton threw that right into Campbell's arms

did it heal up eventually (no pain and no loss of function/strength)?

Yup. Either say it or don't. This "I'm trying to be brave" crap from Lake Erie is just look at me type stuff that makes him look foolish. I won't be able to listen to him desperately trying to talk over other hosts on WGR in order to get air time the same way

I don't understand where all that doom and gloom came from based on these latest reports That's the type of thing that destroys their credibility going forward. I was like "oh oh" because it sounded like some people who might be in the know were privvy to something they shouldn't have been and therefore couldn't say anything (but sort of were anyway) Now they're all firmly in the internet troll camp

I know the team will be smart with Allen... we have to think long-term Hopefully Rap sheet is correct and it's something that will heal up over time with some rehab

Will the UCL heal up after several weeks and be back to 100% or is it the type of thing that will remain an issue until surgically repaired?

Josh's previous timeline with (maybe) the same injury I'm not expecting season-ending news.

Mostly his previous UCL sprain. My worry is more long-term, as that's 2 UCL's in 3 seasons. I hope the damage isn't worse. I have no idea if the UCL heals the same way an ankle sprain would

When it comes to elbow injuries, especially re-injuring that same UCL, my worry is Tommy John and his arm never being the same and not playing until 2024. So 4-6 weeks out would be amazing news. Perspective I suppose

My main concern is injuries. If we had our guys (Poyer, Hyde, White, Milano, Rousseau, maybe even Allen) at 100% or close to it I wouldn't be worried. But we lost the top S tandem in the NFL and a top 10 CB plus a playmaking LB and a promising young pass rusher. That is a lot to overcome, and now we're worried about Allen's elbow.
