Lurker

Two games they've been the beneficiary of bad FG kicking by the opponent. Better buy a lotto ticket...

Saw him at Artpark two summers ago. I've always been lukewarm to his stuff but he put on a great, tight show that made me reasses that. When I found out later that he was 74, it made it that much more impressive. Seems like band that might be better live than recorded...

Pretty Belickick-like. Hmmmm. Delicious...

Getting paid's a B word...

It's only believable if its on Pro Football Talk...

Well, THAT's the money quote I've been waiting for. I'm upgrading my forecast for Sunday...

Is the ball going to hit him in the head? Running around against air--and a ball--is like OTA-level practice, IMO...

Wednesday and Thursday are installation days. If Joe was cleared on a Wednesday, he didn't miss the installation practices. The BIG question we have is, did Josh...

It's not a crusade, it's an opinion. I'll gladly say I was wrong if that is indeed the case. But I wouldn't expect a flamethrower like you to get that...

Real snaps or Sears poncho snaps? The media get booted after warm ups, so what they 'see' is only of the optics the Bills want to show...

The timing's a little different timing on Flacco. If he got cleared the following Wednesday, it means he got to go through both days of game plan installation. We don't know for sure if that has been the case with Josh, however. Only that he tossed the ball and jumped around a lot...

No. All we know is that Josh did some throwing drills. We have no way of knowing what happened after the media were ushered out. I'm just basing my view on how things have gone down in the past with guys who didn't practice (i.e., go through game plan installation). The risk of the independent doc not clearing Josh is hard to judge. But McD's track record favors a conservative, risk-adverse approach to player usage and it just seems like the Titan's game is not a do-or-die instance where Josh has to start...

I think it's to make the Titan's prepare for both. My view is that it would be a real risk to have Josh prepare to start in both the Wednesday and Thursday practices if he still hadn't been removed from the protocol. If he suffered a setback after Thursday, you'd have to go with an under-prepared Barkley on Sunday. McD does not cotton under-preparation. I doubt very much that he'd risk having Josh or Barkley not be ready after the cluster F** against the Pats...

Doing throwing drills before practice is one thing. Running with the ones while they put in the game plan is another (we don't know if he did or didn't, but I'm betting he didn't) I can't recall a Bills QB that didn't practice during the week ever starting on Sunday (and that includes the Kelly era)...

I can't see McD starting Allen with only limited walk through preparation after a poor outing vs. the Pats. He's just too conservative about things like that. I could see McD challenging the team to rise to the occasion with Barkley starting. It seems like a very 'process' thing to do... Edit: I could even see McD sitting Josh for motivational reinforcement of how they want him to play. I guess we'll have to see what he says later today...

If Allen was in protocol for both the Wednesday and Thursday practices, I can't see how he's be given comparable snaps to Barkley. If he gets cleared later today or Friday, I could see him serving as Barkley's backup, however.

Well, that's that. No way Allen starts Sunday, although he might serve as the backup...

Reading anything more than 140 characters is a lost art. It's what makes TSW so entertaining...

Good to see the TSW reading comprehension record is still intact with this thread... Woods

Agreed. This is a huge game for the Bills and they need Motor to help make the offense click. They'll find a way to involve him in the game plan, even if it's only in a limited fashion...

Yep, you're right. I took my post down after I realized he was on the active 53, not the practice squad. Anyway....Chase will probably become a star for the Chargers now!!

Lewan's very good. I hope he's rusty against the Bills or it will make it that much harder of a game...

The problem was that Josh didn't yell back. Gesh, he needs to step up his sideline game as well...
