Fixxxer Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. I am frustrated like everyone else, we just need a season where we have some good luck. We were very lucky last year regarding injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We were very lucky last year regarding injuries. lucky on defense but had a few (both RBs,banged up Sammy, McKelvin for half the season, Dareus and Gilmore in Oakland). I saw this earlier for comparison @ChrisTrapasso: Perspective: In 2014: #Bills D starters missed total of 13 games due to injury. In 2015 thru Week 14: #Bills D starters have missed 29 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Weight training increases bone strength. Bills definitely seem to have a slightly higher injury rate than most teams. You mean except last year when almost nobody got hurt and our athletic staff won an award for best in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Throw in kiko and its even, eh? Or were all the missed games him?i don't know how he came up with that but I doubt he's including Kiko. However I don't think he's including the preseason injuries in 2015's numbers either (McKelvin) and just counting Darby as starter. Probably counted Bradham as starter for last year vs Kiko.

Mango Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 You cannot be serious right now? Can be, and am. The leading research for high level physiology globally are coming out of the GIS, AIS, and Switzerland. The most astringent body in the USA to practice sports medicine is US Ski and Snowboard. They have some of the best sports medicine professionals in the world, let alone the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 WHat would be more effective is biulding depth at the TE position We have a legit TE.....we need another I have high hopes for marquis grey who was injured in PS I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I have high hopes for marquis grey who was injured in PS I thinki think it was week 4 or 6? Pretty sure it was a home game either Giants or bengals Edited December 15, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ah hah, another conspiracy theory on the Bills training staff; do you happen to have any shred of linkage between the Bills' injuries and the quality of their trainers/conditioning staff. You (and many others on TBD) conveniently ignore the increase of injuries every year. Football is a game played by men who are bigger,stronger, and faster with each passing year.

Freddie's Dead Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If Pegula does anything this year, it's to hire real conditioning trainers, and not some retread weight lifting coaches. NFL needs to join the 21st century. Thank Mularkey for firing Rusty Jones. That's when the Bills started having the worst injury problems in the NFL. Maybe we can coax Rusty out of retirement.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia If Clay can't play Sunday, you'd have to wonder if the #Bills make a move to promote a practice squad TE, or, bring back Matthew Mulligan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be too late to bring in Chris Cooley for Sundays game?

NOVABillsFan Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) He wouldn't know what to do in the offense. Obviously there is no time. Even just to block and pass protect oh and of course Team Captain for the coin toss. Chris watches game film daily for the radio show he does in DC. Who better to know the Skins weaknesses!!!.

YoloinOhio Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The offense looked much different (not in a good way) without Clay last week. He's almost as important as McCoy and Sammy in all of the things he does and number of snaps he plays. Huge loss, especially with his backup Grey already out and we are down to Gragg and OLeary. Especially from a blocking perspective. At least they can game plan around not having him this week, which they weren't able to do last week.
