Allen Injury a Good Thing?

I have a feeling you will have a different view if Case plays this week.

I'm going to the game this Sunday and I really have no interest in seeing Case Keenum play

[WhoTom]

If Case plays well, it could boost the lackluster sales of his jersey. Other than that, I can't see an upside.

No. Close Thread.

Maybe there is a bright side to JA17 getting injured. Never want anyone to get injured, but maybe this will force others, particularly the coaching staff, OL, and RB's to get the running game going for once.  The whole offence has totally relied on Josh for everything.  Now it's their turn tom step up and hopefully translate to a more balanced offense down the stretch.   

 

Get well soon JA.   

 

If you thought the run game would be tough when defenses were most worried about Allen's arm, it won't get much easier when they will be expecting a 50/50 or greater balance.

I think if you had just said "maybe there will be a silver lining to this injury", then people would have no problem with it.

But instead you said "Allen injury a good thing?" and, well....let the GIFs and flaming commence.

I agree.

 

I also loved having covid a few months back.

 

Good times!

I personally don’t believe it’s just a physical injury, something is wrong with him me at all right now. So a week off may be exactly what he needs.

I think the OP is asking if some good will come out of a possible injury.  It’s very possible some growth might come out of it.  Such as running the ball.  Josh might actually realize how dangerous each hit is finally. For one I don’t understand why we don’t have a better backup.  And maybe they need to learn to protect JA better or address the OL.

Case has been in the league a long time. He is capable of helping the Bills get a win this weekend vs Minnesota. The rest of the team will have to pick it up if Allen can't go. If Allen can go the rest of the team should still pick it up. Allen shouldn't have to be a one-man gang out there.

We can say everything about the effort all the team will have regard JA absence, everyone accountable etc etc… but fact is that Case, even if in the League long time, is not a top QB.

I absolutely get what you are saying. Plus, with how he has played recently— may be nice for him to watch from the sidelines for a different perspective. 

Maybe we can have a Cooper Rush and Dak like discussion.

Holy crap!! I remember him as a kid watching him on one of the 3 channels we got on our TV, is he still alive???

I think the phrase you are looking for is...silver lining?

[Straight Hucklebuck]

If it was an ankle, or shin bruise, or non-throwing shoulder then it wouldn't be as worrisome. 

 

But, this is injury #2 to throwing elbow. 

 

Josh's game revolves around the power in that right arm, so the worry is degrading that arm strength. 

 

 

In a sense I do agree Irv that the coaches most likely will run the ball more, and I am not complaining about Cook getting more touches, but the defense also knows that, so some of the possible benefit could be potentially masked.

Lol you had to expect all the downvotes, but you're right.

 

"A good thing", no. Could it potentially pay some dividends, I do think so. Gunna have to dial up Knox cook Davis and everyone on the line will need to step up

That's really only a thing you can say in retrospect after good things have already happened.
