Someone put out a rumor that Allen has a torn meniscus and will be in a brace the rest of the year. Don't know how true, somehow got leaked from the orthopedic office.

He looked fine to me running the ball.

Many times (and I've had one repaired and have another one now in the other knee), a torn meniscus is about pain management. If he can deal with it, he should be fine (for the rest of the year at least).

It could also possibly be a sprained MCL. You could tell he had a knee brace on in the 2nd half though under his sock even though they tried to hide it.

Gotta keep him healthy.

Hopefully we can wrap up the division sooner than later and keep Allen out of harm's way.

With the way the D is starting to get it's Mojo back, all of the pieces are in place for a Championship run.

We simply cannot lose our QB.

Looking forward to seeing Milano back, he helps so much.

He was activated off IR, guess they have 21 days to activate him now. But they said he practiced today without the red no-contact jersey. Gotta be close, I would say if not this game Pittsburgh would be a good choice. Big Ben likes those quick hitters, Milano would help with his coverage skills.

I’ve said this before about Allen .... and any mobile QB.

At the end of the day, A QB can run for 100 yards + a game and it honestly doesn’t matter.

When it comes time to throw, a QB needs to be able to throw the ball down field

If Allen truly is hurt. We will see what he can do without all the extra stuff

Well we shall see, hopefully it doesn't affect his throwing motion to much. As long as Moss and Singletary can churn out some yards, should help if Allen is inhibited in running.

That's his biggest hurdle, hard to find good 3 down LB's, hopefully he stays healthy the rest of the year, only makes us better.

I think down the stretch the most important thing for Allen is not becoming too impatient and taking what the defence gives him.

He can’t get picked off throwing into double coverage trying to find Diggs like he did this past Sunday.

He’s going to have to get more and more comfortable going to his second and third reads as I’m sure anybody with half a brain knows to double Diggs in man coverage looks and roll coverage over to Diggs’ side with safety help in zone looks.

The performance the Bills defence had against Herbert though was very impressive. They made him look pretty mortal on Sunday and he’s been every bit as good as Allen has this year.

Bold prediction time: If the Bills don't play the Chiefs in the playoffs I'll say they win the Superbowl. Thats the only team I dont think they can beat

I hate Tennessee too. I think we are a bad matchup

I’d rather play Pitt or Baltimore than Tennessee

I want whatever you are on ..... the bills biggest games this year (against good Afc teams) he is 0-2 vs the chiefs and titans. He sucked both games.

Steelers is a good test coming up.

Weird that Seattle and LAR who are 8-3 and 7-4 respectively aren’t “big” games in which he was fantastic in both.

Also, he said the Bills, and you referred to that as “he” as in Allen.

You have a weird obsessive hatred man

Yes sir. And I think it's 50/50 we take the Chiefs down in the rematch.

This is gonna be our year. I can feel it!

Both the AFC and the NFC are wide open in my eyes.

A. F. C. Did you miss that? We won’t see the rams or hawks for another 5 years. They are in the NFC.

The chiefs and titans we will see again sooner or later and in the same conference.

First off it would be 4 years not 5, as they’re are 4 NFC divisions and we play one each year.

Second, I guess the 7-4 Dolphins game doesn’t count either? The team a game back from us

You remind me of this dude on Twitter who does stat work and claims not to hate Josh Allen yet brings him into every discussion possible

Seattle has the third worst pass D in HISTORY and was missing a starting CB, and DE, and their starting RB Chris Carson was out so I think there should be an asterisk next to that win in terms of top wins. It looks good on paper until you look at the details.
