eball Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sometimes I like to defend players from stupid comments(stupid IMO). Spikes,Cowart,Kyle,and Merriman are just a few examples of players who were not fat tub o' whatever and had achilles injuries. When you use your body for a living in a contact sport, you will have injuries. Even when training for the upcoming season. Some psters remind me of "The Wizard" sitting behind the curtain acting like Mr. know-it-all. Plus the following quote from the article seems to imply that he was working out. "The Eagles have announced that Peters suffered the injury during a running session on Tuesday, March 27, in Texas, " Don't take this **** personal guys. It's a game that we watch, that's it, no more no less. Just erks me when fans get personal and don't even know the person. Helps to have a little historical perspective, Dopey. When Jason Peters held out and then returned to the Bills, he was a fat, lazy, out of shape tub o' goo who hurt the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well, the guy we drafted with that pick is Eric Wood, who's had his share, including an ACL he'll be coming back from hopefully this next season. We haven't fared much better on that front... That's what happens when you're a fat, lazy, outa shape, tub o' goo that doesn't take care of your own body! Oops, sorry Senator, couldn't help myself. Helps to have a little historical perspective, Dopey. When Jason Peters held out and then returned to the Bills, he was a fat, lazy, out of shape tub o' goo who hurt the team. Oh, I remember. My point is no need to get personal. This GAME should'nt be your life. You're not getting paid by the Bills. It's a game. I was born and raised a Bills fan, but feel like a little perspective on "life" helps once in a while. don't like it, move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need therapy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I'm not going to shed a tear for the guy. He held out to get his money, he got paid and then we moved on. I am disappointed that his injury will likely cause a bidding war for Demetrius Bell now. I was hoping the longer Bell remained unsigned, the greater the chances he would make a counter offer to the Bills and a deal could be worked out. Remember, there is no "I" in team.

jkhmlf Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Normal Achilles tendons don't rupture. Like alot of other guys who rupture their tendons, it's chronic overuse injury. He' definitely did not tear his tendon because he was lazy, overweight or fat. He tore it because of chronic injury which unfortunately manifested in a acute, catastrophic tendon rupture. The guys at Rothman are extremely bright and who knows he might be back by mid season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't fared much better on that front... Wood? An ACL? Where did you get that? Try broken leg, then knee. As for Peters, my heart isn't exactly breaking over this news. Hope he didn't spend all his money on pizza. PTR Edited March 30, 2012 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Wow, that really sucks for them... EDIT: Whoa, just read this: RT @judybattista: RT @pdomo: Major blow for Eags losing Peters. Allowed 1 sack in 570 pass plays in '11. Was monster blocker for Shady McCoy Can that possibly be right? Bigger loss than I thought... Shady McCoy and Ron Mexico. Is that an offensive backfield, or characters in a 70's western? Or porn? Or 70's western porn? Edited March 30, 2012 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a bone spur on his heel that was rubbing on his achillies. There is a huge difference. These other men you mention had RUPTURED achillies tendons, i.e. the tendon literally tore apart and had to be repaired. That was NOT the case for Kyle Williams. They simply detached his achillies from his heel so that they could polish the bone spur down to smooth, and then re-attached it. There was no damage to the tendon itself.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 here's the article on pft: peters out for season? Bells agent has visions of flocks of 100 dollar bills sprouting Iggle wings and fluttering towards himself and his client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I dont want to see the guy injured or in pain, but I do take a good amount of enjoyment from this. Admittedly petty and immature enjoyment, but eff him and the Eagles. Plenty of guys want new deals, and plenty of guys get them because they act like professionals. Peters and his agent acted like a couple of 12 year olds. And then he shows up out of shape and admits to not playing hard because he's pouting. Glad to see that the more this story plays out, the more it is clear the Bills made the best move possible at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 So he'll be coming off an achilles tear at 31 years old...could be a career ender for him. Tough way to go in the off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I am worried that this may inflate D. Bell's price. It's a legit concern but another question is "to what degree?"
