Dorsey may decide to pull out a trick play or 2 and shock the world. There's a thought. If it works its Genius. If it doesn't he's in the dog house. Players speak about having confidence in him. Prove it to us Keenum. We WANT to love you 🙏 m Edited November 11, 2022 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure Minny already has their scouting/adjustments prepared, in case Allen plays. At this point, not sure the uncertainty changes anything for them. Not sure Coach is thr type to go thru theatrics. His comments aren't always specific, but if Josh is practicing limited likely points to 50/50...see if Barkley called up tomorrow. FP=100% playing IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media also had like 5 min of access to see stretching. So who knows, but very likely Case playing, will know injury report later and tomorrow by 4pm if Barkley is called up. I think Barkley gets called up no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes it's pretty clear Allen is not playing. He hasn't touched the field all week. Many seem to be holding on to false hope. Folks look at the evidence. We all know coach McD isn't going to tell us anything but vague statements. Keenum will have to not lose this game because he's not going to win it. The Bills defense is going to have to win it. It's possible but it just got harder with Poyer and Rosseau out. How do they stop Cook? Jefferson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this coaching staff's history and common sense, three straight DNPs almost certainly equates to a missed game. Do you really think it's logical to apply the same rule to Josh Allen as the rest of the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Case plays. Seriously? I don't understand you and @Logic and @BuffaloBaumer and your ilk. It's absolutely still possible that Josh sits, but it seems like in some of your minds you delusionally think you know the extent of Josh's injury when you obviously don't have a clue. If Josh is healthy and there's no risk of worsening the injury other than a freak incident like Huff's hit, you friggin play Josh Allen. And if it's nerve irritation and it's better now, that's probably the case. If it's a super extreme minor sprain... I'm no Doctor but I've sprained my ankle plenty and minor ones take a few days to feel 100%, not weeks. Josh has talked all about the stretching and work he does for his body in the offseason, maybe he's 100% already. Regardless of whatever the participation status today will be it's clear he was there participating to at least some degree with pads on. McDermott changed his designation to hour to hour instead of day to day. What about this sounds like Josh not trending towards playing? You guys just doing the Billsy thing of talking up to worst so as not to be let down? Honestly... my main reason for thinking Case might play at this point is McDermott setting Keenum up for a revenge game all week, not wanting to let him down and having an excuse with Allen’s injury.

You don't think the Vikings will be ready if Keenum plays? We should really mess with them and play Barkley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They act as if it's somehow the same injury he suffered his rookie year when all signs point to it being SIGNIFICANTLY less serious. It's honestly comical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
