Josh Allen called plays from the sideline during at least part of the time the Bills were on offense on Saturday.  Peyton Manning was known for calling his own plays for a good part of his career.  I wonder if this little experiment could lead the Bills to follow the precedent of Manning, who was essentially an assistant offensive coordinator for the Colts in addition to his role as a Hall of Fame caliber QB.

I would not say nothing. Something is more than nothing. I would say they do this so JA can call his own 2-minute drills if anything. and that is something. 


he already can audible and make play calls for himself. 
 

id chalk it up as 75% giving the guys a little entertainment in the dog days of august.
 

Calling plays in a 2 min drill will be way different than in the 3rd quarter from the sideline.

  I'm sure it was so Allen had a part in the game.  No doubt he would have preferred to be playing in the game even though he knows the injury risk is not worth it for a meaningless game.  Yet the competitor and football player in him would rather play than sit out.

Good way to keep continuity in the O scheme.  He’s going to keep getting coordinators promoted ( another reason the HC should be the offensive guru), this way at least Allen will have a sense of what the scheme is to keep it all rolling.
