Problem is the Bills can't afford to lose another game before the Patriots game. Patriots game is a toss up. That kind of makes the Panthers a must win. Had the Bills pulled out a victory today they could afford to still lose two more and make the playoffs. As it is, they can only afford to lose one. 

You don’t think Trubisky could win that game for you? I mean the Panthers O is awful but their D can be scary good at times.

Bills QB Josh Allen will have MRI on left foot and ankle Monday after his courageous performance in the OT loss to the Bucs. The Bills are hopeful but expect Mitchell Trubisky to get some reps in practice as they have vital 4-game run to finish season, starting w Panthers.

I was so impressed by Allen almost willing the Bills to victory. He seemed to ignite the D to play better as well.. the injury definitely slowed him in the game.. way way to many QB Draws and way to many hard hits on him this game. If I’m the owner I am thinking “why is my star QB being abused like a pinyata?”

Probably precaution

[In Summary]

Having Allen run to cover for a barely there running game will shorten his career. Pegula needs to be clear about priorities in the off-season.

Disagree with that.  I know he did a lot of running today and then got dinged up, but there is no real correlation b/w running more and getting hurt more. 

 

He could get just as injured in the backfield throwing the ball or being sacked, or being stepped on by his own lineman, or God knows what else.

 

Josh's ability to run is one of the best things we do.  If you choose to leave that tool in the tool box, you make us much less effective team.

 

We almost pulled off that comeback tonight precisely because Josh was THROWING and RUNNING like a maniac!

Yea there was one called qb after the injury where I was scratching my head…I’m sure he was telling coaches he was fine he’s a tough sob

[Nelius]

Didn't they call at least one designed run for him after the injury too? Yikes. Hope it's not serious. Get well soon, Josh.

This is why I pray Allen makes it through the year without serious injuries, and we fix the oline and get a running back. I don’t mind Allen running to extend plays or a short first down, but he can’t be our running back #1 

I'm convinced they draft a RB high and go OL. 

[Awwufelloff]

Walking boot almost always means hes going to miss a few weeks, we can kiss this season goodbye.

Precisely. Example number 1 should be Cam Newton. 

[Hapless Bills Fan]

If he was referring to Josh’s running, I guess….but I’m not sure Josh is any safer from harm in the pocket behind this OL, frankly

Yes, they did.  Morse said Allen was still calling for QB runs after the injury, even though he was in a lot of pain

 

FWIW, David Chao (the “ProFootballDoc” injury analysis guy) says he doesn’t expect Allen to miss time

If he was on crutches in addition to that walking boot I would be worried right now I’m not

Cam Newton lost years off his career and is completely broken from the punishment he took over his career.

 

Josh is on the same trajectory 

No. I get the size/running comparison, but Josh aced his wonderlic, Cam just put his ‘mark’ on it..

Thanks Hap. Cautiously optimistic.

He could but our backs are up against the wall at this point. It's a must win until we can get past the next two games 2-0. Exit the Patriots game with only 6 losses and then we have some breathing room with two games left.

It seems to me that what’s “sunk” Cam is his shoulder is all messed up and he can’t throw any more.

Not sure what a better Wonderlic has to do with that?  

Josh is already playing with a steel plate and a bunch of bolts in his right shoulder

 

Which actually, come to think of it, has me wondering how they give him an MRI.  Hmmmm.

 

I won’t lie to ya though: I went looking for ProFootballDoc and BangedUpBills take because my heart was in my throat, and I still kind of have a sick feeling in my stomach over it.

 

But again, given what our line is like, I’m not entirely sure Josh is safer trying to throw from the pocket

[Chandler#81]

Josh runs smartly. Cam runs recklessly, believing he is invincible. 
It’s that Big muscle ‘tween the ears.
