REPORT: Josh Allen is Dealing With An Elbow Injury

[One-If-By-Sea]

“Able to grip a football” means he’s starting? Lol

I agree. Seems NUTS!!!

 

[TinhWoodhead]

theres a guy named Allen Ranch (wrench)

@GreenCow

So what's the word -- is Allen playing today or not?

 

[Ross12]

I agree. Seems NUTS!!!

"Our pitcher seemed like needed Tommy John surgery, but a couple days later he was able to hold a baseball in his hand, so we decided to let him go out and pitch for us. Except this is football where the other guys are trying to smash you while you pitch."

"Our pitcher seemed like needed Tommy John's surgery, but a couple days later he was able to hold a baseball in his hand, so we decided to let him go out and pitch for us. Except this is football where the other guys are trying to smash you while you pitch."

And the ball is heavier. Lots of guys do continue to play if the ligament is not fully torn, but after some rest, see Sale and Ohtani who both eventually did Tommy John. I do not remember a QB with Tommy John surgery.

Damn, I like baseball but that's the kind of rule change that could save it's popularity! They've already discussed adding a pitch clock, why not just make it, "A linebacker is going to charge in from centerfield and BLOW YOU UP if you don't pitch before he gets there."

Or maybe that was just overblown clickbait

I used to have fun with my dad making up crazy rules like that to make sports more entertaining

Jake Delhomme and Rob Johnson

I have literally zero doubt that today’s Vikings/Bills game with Allen out is EXACTLY the kind of game Kirk Cousins chokes away.

Me neither. As I understand it, throwing mechanics and arm action are different. Way less stress on the UCL.

 

[upstater1]

Well, Allen's first pass was a definite interception that was unbelievably dropped.

No problem, neither team can stop the other so far. Vikings run defense is maybe the worse I've seen. If the Bills are running on you, you've got problems

Just listed two I remember

Really?

In the first 6 games of the season, Allen had 17 TD's against 4 INT's.
In the last 3 games of the season, Allen had 3 TD's against 6 INT's.

I am wondering if there is some cause and effect there with the injury.....

I’m not your dad, but I’m A dad. I introduced defense when my boys got better than me at bowling.

Didn't he get hurt on the second to last play last game?

He hurt his elbow at the towards the end of the game before the last one, that doesn't really make any sense...?

You can only really point to his stats in the Vikings game and link them to the elbow. The other games are not injury-related.

Or he could just suck sometimes. I mean TB12 has had 6 4INT games in his career.

This - I think it's just typical performance fluctuation. I'm sure the Bills will be okay when it matters.
