Banged up Bills Website: All Injuries all the Time
SCBills replied to Old Coot's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, there is. Some of it is bad luck. Some of it is the players we target… Undersized linebackers and undersized DT’s. Puts heavy strain on the spine of our Defense where we teams will constantly attack. Undersized players get hurt more. Worn down = More injury exposure. We run an offense that is predicated on ball control, so we don’t have a build to jump ahead on teams fast. So teams can hang around and continue to attack the undersized spine of our Defense. We also extended an injury prone player in Bernard. Signed an injury prone player in Bosa. Have older players at DT and LB. Knew Hoecht was on a PED suspension. PED’s are notorious for leading to ligament/tendon injuries. Gave 8M per year to Samuel.. a guy who’s always been injured. Finesse WR-esque TE .. always hurt. You also make your own luck. -
Im pretty down on them but a team that has a playoff pedigree, led by Josh Allen, is not “cannon fodder” in this dumpster fire of a conference. Pretty sure I’m alone on this one, but I’ve said before… I’d trade him in the offseason. Really good player, but can’t stay healthy. I’m confident a new OC won’t only play him 30-40% of snaps, but he can’t even stay healthy with a crazy low workload for a player of his ability. Hes the one asset we have that could bring back anything of worth and I’d pull the trigger and re-orient this offense to a WR-centric passing attack. Knox, on a restructured contract & Hawes are completely fine for the next few years.

Agreed. It’s too bad they couldn’t beat Chicago last week as the only positive to a loss tomorrow would’ve been putting them 2 up on Baltimore with 5 to play. 1 up isn’t much to speak of when they still play twice. Knocking the Ravens into the WC group with us already with a tiebreaker over them and KC would’ve been a slight silver lining.

That feels like everyone in the AFC. Ravens/Bengals fans were doing the same thing before their game. Colts fans are dooming after losing to KC and the Daniel Jones injury. NE and Denver are the only AFC teams legitimately trash talking.

Texans have 5 losses and we’re the only team to go in there and run primarily five man protections. To that extent that Demeco Ryans felt the need to mention this in an interview this past week. All the routes run in the world don’t matter if Allen gets immediate pressure. Gonna have to make some sacrifices without our starting tackles against Watt and co. Anything less would be legitimate malpractice in protecting the only player on this team that truly matters in terms of making any type of run to, and into, the playoffs.

I still think he’s the best QB in the NFL, but I’m losing hope in this. Mainly because our FO never gives him enough to take over. It seems quite common now for us to have a chance to win, with the ball in his hands, and we just can’t. Chris Jones beats Dawkins in the playoffs and JA gets hit as he’s throwing to a wide open Shakir in the back of the end zone. Pass falls short. Bass misses the tying FG. Game over. Spags completely outsmarts us on a defensive playcall in the playoffs the following year. Free rusher. Allen falling backwards somehow gets it to a catchable place for Kincaid. He can’t make the catch. Defense gives up a first down. Clock runs out. Game over. Last week, 4th and 1. Dawkins false start. 4th and 6. We run the same concept Houston had a beat on all game. Same protection. Allen gets quick pressure. Incomplete pass. Game over. Unless we just demand Allen run through defenses for game winning TD’s he needs to rely on his OC, his OL and his playmakers. To which he’s constantly let down by one, two or all of the above when it matters.

There is zero reason for this to occur unless Joe Brady has some violent fetish in watching Josh Allen get beat up. We know we’re down two starting tackles. We know Pittsburgh has a strong DL. There are zero excuses to not have TE’s, a 6th OL, RB’s etc stay in to help protect. Going into the Texans game, it was reasonable to expect Brown & Dawkins, arguably the best Tackle duo in the league, to hold their own. They didn’t and Brady never adjusted. Because Brady can’t adjust. He panics when the bullets are live and can’t deviate from his gameplan. He’s a joke of an OC .. but he knows what’s coming this game. Has a full week plus to prepare for it. Zero excuses for Allen to get beat up like he did against Houston. I’m not saying our Offense will look good. It might be a slog. But it d**n well better not be due to JA getting hit 30 times.

Gabe Davis signed to the 53, Curtis Samuel placed on IR
SCBills replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Were they? Or were they trying to talk themselves into an injury prone player not being injury prone with us .. just like we tried to do with a non-separator who can’t catch contested balls not having that issue with us. -
Black Friday Game Thread (no Bills stuff please)
SCBills replied to ryguy101's topic in The Stadium Wall
Philly fans are so confused at how this Offense is so bad with all this talent because they’ve been bamboozled into thinking Jalen Hurts is anything but a completely mid QB. -

Every fan knew how Curtis Samuel would play out. Beane saw it differently. Hes now likely played his last snap as a Bill.- 153 replies

Brady sees this and wonders if 4 man protections are legal.

Black Friday Game Thread (no Bills stuff please)
SCBills replied to ryguy101's topic in The Stadium Wall
A standalone game on Black Friday is still weird. Especially with a heavy college football slate. Love having to use two separate apps with this game and UGA/GT on at the same time.
