bobobonators Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Why does nobody bring up him as injury prone? He has missed big chunks of seasons due to injuries over his career... Miami taking out future Bills opponent QBs... Eh. Im not sure id label him injury prone. I mean in his entire career hes only had one season where he played less than 12 games. Hes had a few seasons where hes gotten banged up and missed a few games. Ben is hard to take down and as a result he takes a lot of hits bc he extends the play. Also pitt's offense relies on the vertical deep passing game which takes time to develop which means youre likely to get hit. Unlike brady who passes 3yd slant routes all day that take 2 sec for brady to get rid of ball. i wish brady would get lit up like Ben does.

Miami taking out future Bills opponent QBs... I wouldn't call him injury prone-- that brings to mind guys like RJ. with his style of play and the hits that he takes, he's actually pretty durable. I think he's missed like 19 games in his 12 seasons. Wouldn't call that injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call missing at least 2 games a season injury prone. For him though, they are so good in the other 14 games that it gets overlooked.

H2o Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 This opens up the AFC even more. It's not inconceivable that they miss the playoffs now opening up a spot for someone else. I have to think this helps our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Did the Pats*** catch a break or what? Geez. Tough news for the Stillers; I'm no fan, obviously, but you've got to respect how Big Ben plays the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I wouldn't call him injury prone-- that brings to mind guys like RJ. with his style of play and the hits that he takes, he's actually pretty durable. I think he's missed like 19 games in his 12 seasons. Wouldn't call that injury prone. But yet Tyrod gets labeled as injury prone for missing 2 games from an illegal horsecollar tackle simply because he is a mobile QB...that's where I have an issue with the whole thing... Rodgers and Luck missed a bunch of games as well and they don't get the label either I would call missing at least 2 games a season injury prone. For him though, they are so good in the other 14 games that it gets overlooked. Except yesterday when they were awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 hopefully the steelers defense puts a hurting on the Pats next week Doubtful. They let Jay Ajayi run for 200 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The thing with labeling someone as injury prone is what types of injuries are they suffering and how aren't hey getting them? A guy like BR takes a pounding game in and game out and misses a few games a year. I wouldn't consider that injury prone. Someone like Goodwin gets tackled with a textbook tackle and he ends up on IR, that's injury prone. All players get banged up and hurt, usually missing some time, it's a tough violent sport and uts going to happen. But if the injury is from consistently taking huge hits or freak accidents like being rolled on or hit awkwardly, I wouldn't say they are injury prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I dont root for players to get hurt but damn, hes gonna be out 4 weeks, in which they play the Pats, Ravens, Cowboys, Browns. So that in fact does not help us. soooo.... Edited October 17, 2016 by Marty McFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It certainly could help us. If the Ravens take the lead in the AFC North, and the Steelers go 0-4 while he is out, and we go 2-2, it helps us in the Wild Card sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 As much as I hate him, there is a case to be made that he is the best QB in the game right now. Especially after how Rodgers has looked so far. So ya, this is a huge blow for them. Figures it had to happen right before they play NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I bet he misses the Pats game and that's it. I think they have a bye after next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Why does nobody bring up him as injury prone? He has missed big chunks of seasons due to injuries over his career... Miami taking out future Bills opponent QBs... He has had injury problems due in part to his style of play. He takes a lot of hits. Early in his career I remember that his passer rating after first contact with a defender was off the charts high - higher than his rating before contact in fact. His ability to extend plays by shaking off defenders raised him from being a good QB to an elite one. He did have an issue in that he often needed to extend plays because it took him a little longer to find his target. That's improved over the years, but he still holds the ball too long at times and the physical punishment may be starting to take its toll.

Fadingpain Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 So... the p*ts get to play us coming off a bye week. Figures. They were also coming off a Thursday night game before our last matchup, and it didn't seem to help them. That was with a different QB though!

I have to think this helps our chances. It didn't look like the AFCN was sending a WC team to the playoffs anyway, but now it seems certain. It's also now even more doubtful that the team winning the AFCN gets a bye. Thats all good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It's funny how other teams have torn this and torn that and they'll be back in 3 weeks. On the Bills if there's torn paper it's usually gone for season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 So if the Pats* win it doesn't count, right? I mean our win vs. them without mattress boy didn't count according to the NE fan base and media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
