Mrbojanglezs Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Did Allen have any known concussions in college? All I knew about was the shoulder injury. 18 minutes ago, Josh_Allen said: Thanks 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. Edited September 30, 2019 by Josh_Allen
Golden*Wheels Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 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.
cd1 Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 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 1
BuffaloBaumer Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 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.

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.
LB3 Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Patriots fans really are scumbags. The header on their site is Josh getting knocked out. https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/forums/patsfans-com-patriots-fan-forum.10/ 1
ShakAttack Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 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

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

MAJBobby Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Just now, Josh_Allen said: I certainly want him to play, that's why I'm being a pain about the protocol stuff 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?
