DanInUticaTampa Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 this stuff is so mysterious. it isn't an injury, but an illness that is going to last all season? I can't tell if it is super serious or very lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 2 wasted years for him, it's too bad. You don't get too many chances in this business. It's (apparently) through no fault of his own, but the door is closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Damn. That really sucks for him, as well as the team. The guy has got to be so down right now. Good luck to him recovering from whatever it is. Sometimes teams just cannot wait for players to get back, even though it may only take a few weeks. They don't want to cut a player they have already decided they need for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duey Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Whatever he did or has, I think the Bills have to give details now that he's on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goynahan Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'm gonna go ahead and say it's not an std like some people have been saying, because chan would have never put him on the spot with the "it's something he should tell you guys" line if that was the case.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I wonder if it's a heart defect or major respiratory issue. The way it was described--Easley came off the practice field pointing to his chest--makes it seem that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, until we find out what the illness is, its all speculation. But it sure smells like a "message sending" move. Either way, bad for him -- but I just never saw anything that indicated he might have character or wisdom issues (which, of course, is all relative, especially when considering how the NFL judges character - there is normally a strong correlation to ability and value to the team). Anyhow, in the harsh cruel world of the NFL and football fandomhood, I like really liked Kamar Aiken over him. I hope he gets a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 You don't IR people to send a message. You have to have a valid reason otherwise the NFLPA would have a fit.

Phil Hansen Forever Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 When people describe unknown illnesses that are career ending as something that the person would be ashamed or embarassed about such as AIDS, STD's or the like. It makes you wonder. If it was AIDS, it would explain things because of the possible blood exposure on the field...just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) I'll ask this again, Why would they even keep him out of a game if it was an STD? Doesn't make sense. Exactly. It makes no sense, and thus is very likely not an STD. I do hope that we will know something for sure, if only to preserve the kid's reputation against more speculation. But more than anything I hope he gets well. Edited September 13, 2011 by RJ (not THAT RJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkhmlf Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 since its his chest and its acute, he may have had a blot clot in his lungs called a pulmonary embolus. or maybe he has something wrong with the conductivity of his heart. very unfortunate for him to lose a year.

Saint Doug Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 people need ot be concerned for the man.. an illness that puts you on IR is extremely serious and worrisome Not necessarily. He was apparently fine one day (an assumtpion) and then suddenly sick the next. To me, this does not sound like a chronic disease, but more like an acute injury. If he had a chronic disease, he would have likely experienced chronic symtpoms, like weight loss or fever, and eyebrows would have been raised weeks ago (again, another assumption he did show up sick to camp). An appendectomy or gallbladder removal wouldn't land him on the IR. And as it has been stated, it's a non-football injury. If this was as simple as rupturing an ACL in a pick-up basketball game, why is this being shrouded in mystery (hipaa aside)? Still, in the back of my mind I'm thinking his placement onto IR is a statement being made by the coaches. Slightly reminiscent of Crowell being placed on IR a few years back. I guess we'll wait for the official word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beggar13 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think I jinxed him when I was at the card shop Saturday afternoon in Dallas and bought his autographed rookie/jersey card for $7.50. The last card I bought before kick off weekend was McKelvin's, and he had that fumble against the Pats that cost us the game. I've gotta quit buying player cards before kick off weekend!!
