Seeing as how we have a big game coming up against the Rams on Thursday, it would be nice if we could put this one away early and get the starters out of the game early to prevent injuries.  Having all the starters healthy and rested for next week is more important than running up the score on a struggling Bills team.  Having said that, let's hope the Vikings don't go into this game taking the Bills too lightly.  Any given Sunday, as they say...

Josh Allen, professional QB experience to date:

Preseason:

  • Week 1, vs Panthers: played 2nd half. 9/19 for 116 yards, 1 TD. 1 sack (-6). 29 yards on 3 carries
  • Week 2, @ Browns: played 2Q and early 3Q. 9/13 for 60 yards, 1 TD. 1 sack (-6). 18 yards on 3 carries
  • Week 3 vs Bengals, started and played 1st half. 6/12 for 34 yards. 0/0. 5 sacks (-39). 3 yards on 1 carry

Regular season:

  • Week 1, @ Ravens: entered game trailing 40-0 with 11 min left in 3Q. 6/15 for 74 yards. 0/0. 3 sacks (-16). 26 yards on 4 carries. 
  • Week 2, vs Chargers: started. 18/33 for 245 yards. 1 TD, 2 INTs. 5 sacks (-36). 32 yards on 8 carries. Last minute drive trailing 31-13 produced 72 yards and a TD. 

So Allen’s only experience on the road was late in a blowout in Baltimore, plus a preseason game in Cleveland. He’s never played in the kind of noise he’ll have to deal with at US Bank. 

His starting experience consists of a preseason game in which he put up negative net yards (lost more in sacks than gained in passes) and last week vs the Chargers where he had 137 net passing yards with 2 INTs while the game was in doubt. His completion percentage right now is an even 50%. 

Allen will need to have by far the best game of his short career if the Bills are going to make a game of it.
