Braedenstearns Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have no doubt that Spiller and Jackson will play, I don't think they will stay off even if they are hurting.

Clockwork Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm wondering about Aaron Williams and Gilmore as well. I can see this defense being vicious when healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Schefter just tweeted that Spiller will play. I recall Chris Brown or someone tweeting earlier that Williams isn't worried about missing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Marrone said McKelvin could have played yesterday so I expect he will. Spiller and Jackson should play too. I dont know what to think about Byrd anymore. I hope he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Fred said he was playing, so I think he will. I agree that McK should be in based on Marrone's comments. Byrd isn't going to play without at least a full week's practice, so he won't play even if he gets the vaginal warts removed from his heel.

Braedenstearns Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm wondering about Aaron Williams and Gilmore as well. I can see this defense being vicious when healthy Someone correct me if im wrong, Gilmore got injured 2nd preseason game? 6-8 weeks recovery. Theoretically He should be back this week or next week right? Side note. Shouldn't Goodwin be back the same time as Gilmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Here's what the injury report will look like: Spiller - Probable Jackson - Probable McKelvin - Probable Byrd - not playing Hell, Carrington will be ready to play before Byrd at this rate.

A Dog Named Kelso Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 If anyone with a broken bone is back before Byrd I think it is ridiculous not to question his injury. Maybe its just me but Gilmore coming back before Byrd seem a little silly no? And it kills me to here CJ say if 85% I'll be out there and Byrd says I need to be 100%. No one is 100% at this point.

3rdand12 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Fred is any ways. Tashard can be utilized . Will we see Frankie Summers again who was effective against the Ravens. Byrd is a lost cause for me by now. I have moved on and glad about it. A Willams has been resurrected by D, Hendersen. The old man Jimmy L. is doing alright and Searcy is really stepping up. Duke is in the mix now and Meeks may turn up later on. Go Bills secondary! If anyone with a broken bone is back before Byrd I think it is ridiculous not to question his injury.

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 It's been well over a month since the Gilmore injury now. Why so quiet on that front?

Braedenstearns Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Fred and tashard are more than capable to carry the load Its not about carrying the load. Whenever and wherever he is on the field ( on offense) he is a threat. We will need that Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I know multiple people who have had Plantar Fasciitis. It is painful, but you can come back from it with steady treatment and care. My wife runs marathons and triathlons. She had it, was diligent about treatment, and was running again in 3 weeks. She started running before she was pain-free, but there's a point where the Dr will tell the patient that they aren't at a risk for further damage, just need to deal with pain. Obviously, it depends on severity, but Byrd has been out for a while, and he clearly is waiting as long as he can. He basically doesn't give a **** about the team, and is milking it for all it is worth. He played on it last year when it was worse. I partially blame his agent, who is biased because he gets to share in Byrd's payday. He also probably told him he'd be the highest paid S in the NFL, and that would not happen in any galaxy. If someone wanted to pay Byrd, they would have traded for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Why is anyone shedding tears for Byrd at this point? I mean, the guy's shown NO desire to be in Buffalo. Shoulda franchised/traded him. might have been better to franchise Levitre and let Byrd walk. Sure would never pay Andy what he wanted but at least get him one year to help rookie qb.

jumbalaya Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Oh great. If CJ doesnt play that isn't going to be good. Freddy is more than capable. Heck 45 running backs have more TDs than CJ after 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 i was considering starting a thread on a similar not, but seems like this is a good place to opine... we have some young men on this team who are completely "selling out" for their teammates. freddy, cj, a. williams, and all the others that have come off the field injured and gone back in. these guys seem hellbent on being their with their brothers and i am impressed with their determination. this team seems to have it's fare share of "warriors". and as far as byrd is concerned, if he has any love for his teammates and he is truly not in any position to get on the field right now, seeing these men gut it out like this has got to be eating him up inside. and if it isn't, then he needs to find his way off this team asap!

Malazan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The long and short of it is that Byrd will not be playing for this team again. Parker found a loophole and the Bills are now in a tough spot. If they pursue against Byrd then it will be tougher to sign other players. If they let him ride the fake injury bench then he steals money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Byrd is only hurting himself as any future team will see him as apotential cancer/self absorbed supposed superstar and hurt his ability to sign with anyone other than the Raiders or Jets.

The Wiz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Why is anyone shedding tears for Byrd at this point? I mean, the guy's shown NO desire to be in Buffalo. Shoulda franchised/traded him. Didn't realize I was shedding a tear for him. I've said time and time again, just keep him active and don't IR him. I want him to at least participate in practices if we are going to be paying him through the season (no free ride/vacation). He's gone at the end of the year either way because they won't franchise him for ~9mil and I don't see him wanting a contract, or the bills offering him anything better, after his cry baby antics. And they did franchise him, hence his holdout/I'm not 100% BS. Edited September 30, 2013 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzu Bill Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I know multiple people who have had Plantar Fasciitis.

She started running before she was pain-free, but there's a point where the Dr will tell the patient that they aren't at a risk for further damage, just need to deal with pain. This post was right on. I never saw a doctor but based on WebMD I had plantar fasciitis for about 2 years and that was only because I chose to keep stress on my foot to play my sport. If I ever gave it a month or so rest (which Byrd definitely has) then I felt fine. Freddy is more than capable. Heck 45 running backs have more TDs than CJ after 4 games. Freddy is capable but it's always nice to have multiple options. Look what happens when EITHER Freddy or CJ take a full load - they get knocked out of the game before the 4th quarter. I don't like when people hate on Spiller (or Freddy for that matter) because the reality is that split carries is what we need right now from them. Not to mention they have different styles of running to (in theory) keep the defense having to change around their play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I say that 3 of the 4 will start the game Byrd will fly south for the winter. If Byrd doesn't return soon the FO should slip a note under his door. PLAY or go on season ending IR that nullifies his year of eligibility meaning he's still under contract for another year in Buffalo,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
