Nice that Bills feel they can rest a player, or two. if that truly is the case. Means our team is deep enough. finally.

 

The game against the Giants has cool factor because the Coaching has to be flexible enough to adjust to injuries.

Romans BB's presser speaks to that. I am looking forward to watching how the Offense adjusts.

Dont forget we dont have our starting corner in leodis. Or A. Williams last week. And we did alright. Testament to coaching and players alike

Sit em two game sounds good. The boo babies will be screaming for em if we lose to the gints.

 

We saw what happened when CJ tried to play on that high ankle sprain and puttered through the season. Better to heal up and play 100%.

It is one injury after another with Watkins. He is almost reaching disappointment level.

 

Is this guy ever going to be healthy for an extended string of games?

 

I understand this is his 1st game out but he has been hobbled more than not.

 

He needs to become more consistent is all aspect of his game.

:rolleyes:

They really need to tell Sammy to work on being injury free.....because of course that is within his control

He does seem brittle. Whenever you see him in workout clothes he looks very ripped. He might be a case of one who works out too hard, becoming more susceptible to injury.

Thank you Dr. Gavin for that clinical opinion.

Maybe they should cut him on the first day of free agency.

Interesting how this board gives certain players a "pass".

 

Remember when Kolb got injured ? The entire board said...get rid of him. With Sammy...let him wait forever.

 

And then the EJ thing. The entire board said...he only has had 14 starts give him a chance. And with Manziel who has had..I dunno, maybe 3 or 4 starts, (not sure) is a 110% total and complete bust.

 

Sammy is definitely a disappointment and Manziel will be a good QB in this league. May take 3-4 years but he'll be a good one.

 

This board bases its decisions on popularity, and nothing else.

 

OK, I'm going back to sleep for another year.

Guys who are drafted early by the Bills are more special than their peers.

Let me get this straight. You just compared Sammy, a stud prospect drafted just last year and now missing his first game, to Kolb, a QB that had multiple concussions and other injuries who was in his 7th year and a year later retired because of said concussions. :doh:

 

That might be the worst comparison I've ever read on this site.

This may be one of the silliest posts I have ever read. Well done.

Most of it is.

 

Stevie Johnson was the all-time example of a Bills player who didn't do a good job of training and preparing his body for the game and was constantly nagged by soft tissue injuries.

 

Goodwin has also struggled with injuries that could likely be alleviated with diet and training designed around building more protective and flexible muscle rather than trying to be track lean so he can try to live out his track fantasies.

 

With Sammy, I think it's a combination of physical changes and a need for better understanding of the protective equipment he needs.

 

Sometimes you see guys overcome early problems with injury by getting smarter and understanding limitations.

 

For Goodwin.....not running parallel to the LOS and then cutting back toward the DL would be a start. :doh:

 

Eric Wood has overcome his problem with injuring his balsa-wood lower legs by not bending them or anchoring anymore.

 

He sucks now, but avail-ability is the most important kind.

 

And then sometimes injuries are just a result of stupidity/personality disorders like Stevie Johnson refusing to wear thigh pads and then gimping around for half a year after someone put a helmet to his thigh.

 

There are definitely issues with Sammy and he needs to be actively resolving them. Acting like getting 4-5 DIFFERENT injuries that limit you in practice in two seasons is just coincidence or bad luck is ignorance.
