Josh Allen is Playing football Saturday

[Kirby Jackson]

I am, and always have been, of the belief that you shouldn’t play your stars in preseason. I’d BARELY play any starters (if at all). Preseason is to be endured. Let’s hope that we get out healthy.

I'm not thrilled about this.  But, it would be exciting to see Allen and Kincaid looking like Mahomes and Kelce immediately 

[HappyDays]

Three things I'm looking for from Josh Allen in this game:

 

1) Stiff arm at least one LB

2) Hurdle at least one DB

3) Get in a defensive lineman's face after plowing through him head first for a 1 yard gain on 3rd and 9

 

Football is back!

[GunnerBill]

I will be slightly drunk by the time this game kicks off UK time.... think it is about 11.30pm. But I'm in the pub from 5 for Spurs - United and City - Newcastle. Will try and watch until the starters come out but I might have to leave you guys to it second half haha

[Virgil]

If TJ is lined up on Brown, run or spike the ball.

Your best players and star players shouldn't play in preseason. 

[NewEra]

I really wish we would’ve played Allen vs the colts or the bears.

 

2 abysmal pass rushes.  Instead, we’re playing against a pretty fierce pass rush.

Please wait until week 1 for that!!!

I am going to this game, it's always good for a laugh.

The only thing Steeler fans care about is Defense.  I get to hear about the Steel Curtain and all the once feared players. 

Yes yes, Jack Lambert was great.....

Found your wallet?

we can only hope Heyward and Watt don't play. Both are terrifying

McD says 1.5 quarters for Allen/Starters. Anybody believe him? If not, how long for Allen/starters?

 

I believe him only as far as the situation dictates. If Josh takes a big hit late 1st quarter or early 2nd, I don't think we'll see him the next series. 

 

And I don't worry about him simply playing football. What I worry about, is some bubble guy trying to make a statement.

No benefit to playing Allen in preseason

If you're in the pub for 5 hours and only slightly drunk then your process has room for improvement.

 

The intersection of futbol and football is something I look forward to every fall.  The college football bar I go to for Penn State games is also the city's soccer bar.  By kickoff for early afternoon games, there are still half a dozen dudes in their 50s who have been watching Scottish Premiership since 6AM.  The only thing keeping them upright is their anger toward women, disdain for the mild mannered Big 10 crowd, and the occasional visit to the "loo" to smell their keys.  I'm not saying you should go full Celtic fan Saturday night but back to back games can be done!

Also if things just go really well early for a series or two they might just pull them early, because they got a good rhythm going and don't really need to take the risk to see anymore.

You'd have to be drunk to enjoy the Scottish Premiership. It kicks off a week earlier north of the border and I tried to sit through Rangers - Kilmarnock a couple of Sundays ago. In the end I decided to go out and get some fresh air and the standard between hungover fat blokes at the local park was comparable with what I'd watched from Scotland. 

 

I consider 5 pints of Guinness only slightly drunk @Jauronimo - I'm a pro.

Dammit, just bubble wrap him

   Scared and stupid are two different things.

   Designed QB runs in the preseason is the epitome of stupid.

   Taking unnecessary hits is also stupid in a meaningless game.

What’s funny is we don’t even run that many designed QB runs in the regular season. People think we run Josh like crazy. Josh chooses to run. My guess is the Bills average like 1 QB designed run per game. Maybe 1.5.

I’ve always said sit Josh until the playoffs. Why risk him?

That’s about 8-12 too many, per season. Especially with Cook, Diggs and Kincaid, this year.

Lol, very true.  Steeler fans are a different breed of bravado as well.

 

The Steelers can be getting crushed (like LYs game), and the fans still talk trash..."6burgh, how many SBs did Buffalo lose?" list goes on.  I find it comical.

 

Have fun, go Bills! Crush those Steeler fans preseason dreams 😁

I don't even think Pittsburgh fans care about winning anymore. It's like let's go 1,2,3 and out so the defense can get on the field. Then some LB  for the Steelers make a good hit and you hear this low rumble in the stands, wow, did you see that....lol

To bad  its 21-0 Titans

I would only get upset if they started Josh with backups.
