SEPT 30 SORE! You know the old saying: There is a difference between “injured” and “hurt.” So which is it for Bills quarterback Josh Allen?
Allen is trying to heal up from getting knocked around in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday … and here come Stefon Diggs’ Houston bunch in Week 5. So ….
“Josh is sore, but should be fine as we move forward here,” coach Sean McDermott said on Monday. “We’ll continue to take it one day at a time, but he should be fine.”
SEPT 29 ALLEN'S ASSET Josh Allen's greatest strength in leading his Bills to a 3-0 record entering the Sunday night showdown against the Ravens?
He's "childlike.'' But in a good way!
So said Bills ex running back Damien Harris, who on the Scoop City podcast said it is Allen's off-field personality that sets him apart.is what positions him for on-field success.
“Josh is literally the world’s biggest, strongest, fastest toddler,” Harris said. “He’s so playful. He loves to joke. He loves to have a good time. And when you’re a guy that’s that talented and that can win you games at the level of Josh Allen can, relax and be a little bit loose, that’s the way you’ve got to ride.”
SEPT 28 REELING The Miami Dolphins - through no fault of their own, but rather awful injury luck - are reeling.
It's also not the fault of the Buffalo Bills, against whom this awful Dolphins revolving door at QB was activated. But here we are in the competitive AFC East and Buffalo enters Sunday with a 3-0 record (and is to face the Ravens) ...
And 1-2 Miami will play on Monday night against the Titans but will do so without Tua Tagovailoa (who sustained that concussion earlier this year against the Bills) and they will also d it without his backup Skylar Thompson (rib injury).
Enter ... the Dolphins signing of Tyler "Snoop'' Huntley off the Ravens practice squad ... and yes, all of the sudden will start at quarterback for the team on Monday night.
Huntley spent time with the Cleveland Browns and has success with Baltimore in the past as a Lamar Jackson backup. Indeed, he once started a Ravens playoff game.
SEPT 28 WEIRD Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is part of his team's 3-0 start. Everybody can acknowledge that ... unless you're trying to "shock jock'' your way to a career.
Enter ex-Bills running back LeSean “Shady” McCoy.
"We keep talking about Justin Fields as if he's like carrying his team, a game-changer," McCoy said . "We talk about him more than we talk about Josh Allen carrying a team and then we really break down the team and really watch the tape and look at the stats.
“Any quarterback in America can do that.''
No, no, no. There is not an idiot in any fan base or any media group who thinks that what Justin is doing is anything like what Josh is doing.
Be better, Shady.
SEPT 24 THE PACE Can the New York Jets keep pace with the long-established best team in the AFC East?
The Buffalo Bills served up a dominant performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night, ripping through the Jags on the way to a 47-10 victory behind an explosive first-half aerial assault led by quarterback Josh Allen.
The Bills scored on each and every possession in the first half, with Allen throwing four touchdown passes and racking up 247 passing yards by halftime. He ended up with 263 yards in the air, but also notable as Buffalo has moved to 3-0: Allen is now responsible for nine TDs (two rushing) through three games.
Can the 2-1 Jets keep up? That figures to be a season-long question in the AFC East.
