Especially when we’re already down 3 WR who were routine gameday actives? We saw Keenum play with the 1’s in pre-season. The only time I want to see that again in a game is if (avert!) it’s needed no, I wouldn’t. Quote

SMFH. When does it end....is there an ignore button somewhere? Like all Bills fans (I hope, I'm thrilled with the win and the dominant performance, but I don't think there is anything wrong with maintaining an awareness of areas that could use improvement. I'm sure Brandon Beane has not stopped looking for areas of the roster that he might want to improve when he has the chance. After a career day, Josh Allen was heard to comment on the mistakes he made. Regarding Keenum, I don't think anything is likely to happen until the offseason, but a backup QB needs to demonstrate some kind of effectiveness when he's called upon. Backups are expected to do something when they play even when they don't get the practice reps accorded to the starter, but Keenum is having major accuracy issues. I do think the Bills will be looking hard at their options at backup QB next spring. 1 Quote
Scott7975 Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 There isnt really any sense creating what if's. The Bills are going to roll with who they have. They arent going to be trading for QBs or bringing in retired over the hill vets or anyone else. The Bills will be fine. Quote

"It's official. I'm done." The journeyman signal-caller says that's going to stay his final answer even if there's demand for a fresh arm on a roster ... claiming his body wouldn't be too happy if he took any more hits. "I don't know if my hip would be willing to and I'm comfortable what I'm doing right now." So, what's he doing now?? Fitzpatrick will still be near the game as a TV analyst for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video this season ... and he says he's going to give it all he's got in front of the camera. "There's still a lot of work and preparation that goes into talking about football," Ryan said. "It's more of the mental side of it than all the physical and recovery. I don't get hit anymore which is nice." I’ve seen other interviews before the season started when he was promoting TNF on Amazon and he echoed those statements. He’s done. Quote

Buffalo Super Fan Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Why on earth are we talking about the Buffalo Bills backup QB. There is no one available backup wise that replaces Josh Allen. Josh Allen gets hurt for the season we are finished for that season. Think St Bonaventure Bonnies 1970 final 4 team without Bob Lanier it would be a disaster for the 2022 Buffalo Bills without Josh Allen. So the back up QB for the Buffalo Bills doesn’t matter because your not replacing Josh Allen’s production in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Edited October 10, 2022 by Buffalo Super Fan Quote

Fitz could legitimately keep a season alive in the case of Allen missing a few games. No, I was not attempting to do that. Some people are able to compartmentalize and focus on what needs to get better while enjoying a win. Others don’t have that ability. Count me among those who do not have a problem with your topic. I agree with Meatloaf in the sense that yes, we blew Pittsburgh out of the building, but I also would've liked to have seen more out of Keenum. Granted, it was mop up duty AND McDermott had called off the dogs to the tune of pretty much the entire starting offense, but let's be honest, Keenum didn't do anything to inspire confidence. I'm much more willing to discount his performance because of the circumstances, but boy he underachieved. And as much as I love Fitzy, I simply do not believe he has anything left in the tank to be a legit QB2 anymore. Here's to JA staying super healthy and injury free the entire season (runs and knocks on some wood). Edited October 10, 2022 by smuvtalker 1 Quote
