vike daddy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Josh Allen is likely to be limited in the days leading up to Buffalo's Week 10 game against Minnesota, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. As of now, it's considered a situation to monitor rather than one that would keep him out of the contest versus the Vikings, per Rapoport, although Allen will undergo additional tests to be sure. The quarterback struggled mightily in Buffalo's 20-17 defeat in East Rutherford, N.J., going without a touchdown pass while throwing two interceptions against the Jets. Allen did score twice on the ground, but in the final moments of the Week 9 loss, he suffered the elbow injury that caused discomfort as he was attempting to lead the Bills to a comeback win. Allen said afterward he would be fine, and Buffalo didn't seem too concerned about the ailment. Monday's news increases the concern, but not by a massive amount -- at least not yet. https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-qb-josh-allen-expected-to-be-limited-this-week-due-to-elbow-injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season they had the best QB-WR connection, best tackle duo, Rashan Gary, Z Smith, Kenny Clark and a top 3 secondary. Totally stacked team Which is why I said their starters are pretty good...but their roster top-to-bottom isn't a top-15 roster as far as I'm concerned. It's been exposed when they do have injuries...kinda like what the Vikings have had, especially in 2020.

That was their first game against Hurts. The next time I expect will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think MN will be able to stop Allen and Diggs and co. They are just too good. Doesn’t mean we can’t win. However, we can’t go two full quarters without scoring. Only hope is to keep pace and score 30+ which we’ve only done once this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't allowed more than 26 in a game, despite playing some explosive offenses. They give up a lot of yards, and it's ugly, but it's been effective.

It’s also something he’s dealt with before. I believe he missed 4 games his rookie year for the same issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I want JJ to take this game personally. I want him to look at the other sideline and think “I replaced him. Time to show why.” Get that chip on his shoulder and leave no doubt about who is the better receiver. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably almost a projection since SF's roster is stronger than the Vikings when they're healthy...and they haven't been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally 3rd or 4th, behind the Eagles, Dallas, and sometimes SF. I only think the Eagles are truly better than the Vikings. SF is a bad match up for the Vikings, but I don't think they are a better team against the field. I'm not a believer in Dallas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
