Allen playing!

Meanwhile, Tre’Davious White will most likely sit yet again.

This is fricken crazy.  Never seen anything like this.  Maybe he’s the backup or break glass in case of emergency?

 

Maybe he wasn't nearly as injured as the Bills were letting everyone assume.....

I'll eat...I didn't think he'd play. But I'm glad I was wrong. No way he's the back up. If he is healthy enough to be active, he is healthy enough to start. Go Bills

That’s kind of how I see it. Or they don’t think he’s a full go and he’s on a pitch count.

Will Elam’s status in doubt, I don’t take the elevation of roads to necessarily reflect White’s eligibility

I don’t think he’s playing.  He’ll be just like Allen.  He’s either playing, or he’s not.

 Maybe it was a big show to keep the media busy on will he or won’t he play, instead of asking questions about how poorly they played against the Jets.

Yeah imagine that. It’s almost as if a professional sports organization with access to the best medical information there is knows what to do rather than a bunch of dudes on their phones scrolling twitter and other outlets. I think I just saw Bill Cower at the airport as I type this on my iPhone.

So McDermott was just telling the truth, as I thought. No games from him, as others were suggesting.

None of that came from the Bills. McDermott said he was day to day. He was limited in practice on Friday. He is listed as questionable to play, not doubtful. The team seems to be completely honest and forthright in how they approached it.

 

Everyone else was just speculating.

Suck it Minny!

Imagine new era field when Allen steps out for the first drive of the game.  That place is going to go nuts

I don’t know. I don’t think he’s going to play more than a handful of snaps when he does play his 1st game. They don’t want a situation where he’s playing more than they plan.

Josh Allen (right elbow) is on track to play Sunday against the Vikings, per

@RapSheet

[machine gun kelly]

Hey, I’m happy he can be the emergency  backup meaning he’s capable of needed, but I really hope they rest him.  That injury can worsen and it wouldn’t kill them to let Case play vs. an opponent not really in the equation for the matchups as it pertains to the playoffs.  It’s more important he’s there for the Brownies next week.

 

what’s the harm in a rest week, and babying that elbow for 13 days.  I just don’t want the nightmare of it getting worse.  It’s an irrational fear as I know he’s tough as nails.

There is zero chance that a team who rests guys because they cut their fingernail too close is going to put Allen out there if he’s not close to healthy and at real risk for further injury.  
 

Im sorry.. there’s just no way.

The cheapest tickets on Ticketmaster were close to $300 last week and dropped to close to $100 this mornings. They're going back up, but if anyone is trying to go to the game tomorrow now's the time.

How do you know what the injury is and that it can worse?

 

The Bills have literally never said what the problem is. What if it’s just a nerve issue? A bruise on the nerve that just needed a couple days to heal. 
 

If he’s healthy, he plays. The Bills aren’t going to risk their franchise QB.

If he’s not healthy to start then he shouldn’t be playing at all. 
 

Why risk it? 

That tweet from rapoport seems like he doesn’t want to admit he was wrong about the severity of the injury initially.
