Did Allen have any known concussions in college? All I knew about was the shoulder injury.

Yeah, he's not playing Sunday...

 

It depends he could practice by Wednesday or Thursday if he clears some steps and still be in the protocol as long as the neurologist signs off before Sunday.

It just strikes me that this coaching staff would go with the guy taking 1st team reps all week, Barkley.  Allen would have to be practicing Wed and Thurs with the guarantee he'd start, otherwise he's taking reps from Barkley.

As bad as he was yesterday....he's still got more than enough game for teams like the Titans. Jeez I hope he plays.

 

I kept expecting him to take off several times when had had a lot of time...even 2-3 and a slide would have been a big deal, as opposed to those sacks.

You know when the defense is off sides, they say the QB gets a "free play"?

 

Right now, if there is an offensive flag thrown during a play, the defense gets a free dirty hit!

 

Esp. if you play for the Cheats.

 

WTF

Our receivers are better suited for Barkley's game than Allen's. They get open and it seems the only throw Allen makes consistently is when he is on the run. 

 

Allen's long ball is beyond awful and his short ball is worse. He's a great leader and makes exciting plays but I'm not convinced he's a starter in this league.

no proof of that Many players have been cleared from the protocol in a week.

I guess what I am saying is he'd need to be cleared early in the week to get practice reps. All those steps seem like they would take a week at least.

I guess I'm basing my opinion on the game plan changes with Barkley at QB vs. Allen, maybe it doesn't.

Maybe I’m one of the few that feels this way but as much as I would rather have Allen out there competing I don’t think there’s much of a drop off with Barkley. He had us a yard away from the go ahead TD if not for a Gilmore tackle and then Gore getting stuffed on the next play followed by a pass off Zay Jones’ hands that Duke Williams would have grabbed (they had obvious chemistry in pre-season I’d call him up for the Titans too bad it won’t happen though ). This team will fight for him too. He doesn’t have the mobility but he is probably a little better at finding the open receivers. I’m reluctant to say that he would have less turnovers than Allen though cause he’s had those issues in his career too, but as long as our defense keeps us in it - and they will - there isn’t too much of a difference

he can take all the mental Reps all week. And not face an actual rep until walkthrough and he is fine to play. 
 

and we want him to play. He gives us the best chance to win sunday

I agree! Those penalties should not be offsetting!

I certainly want him to play, that's why I'm being a pain about the protocol stuff lol.

Well he wasn’t exactly escorted to the dressing room. 

I was thinking the same. It says the player will be walked to the locker room. Allen ran in there on his own. I’m probably grasping at straws here though LOL.

I think he is gonna be fine. As long as he isn’t experiencing conditions of the concussion by tomorrow he will likely be good to go Sunday. If he is still in stage 1 tomorrow (Bills don’t talk staged though so will be hard to tell) he will be cleared by Sunday. 
 

what worries me is how cautious they were with Morse we might not see Josh until after the bye. Then again Morse has multiple concussions in his history as well. 
 

I do think we need Josh against Tennessee though.

Just watching him go into the tent and then later when he jogged up the tunnel, he looked fully alert and with-it, and he didn't show any signs of motor impairment.  Unfortunately we've all seen players concussed in the NFL before, and they generally look a lot more messed up than Josh did.  So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's available on Sunday.  I mean, how could my armchair diagnosis based on no medical training be wrong?  ;)

Agreed. He looked alright. But these things are tricky. Hoping for the best. Prepared for the worst.
