Billsman623 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Our sources that have led us here have informed us it's a career ending neck injury and the player is former Louisville Cardinal and current @BuffaloBills center Eric Wood. Our heart goes out to him, his family and former and current teammates. @GoCards #L1C4 #BillsMafia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not die, but risk paralyzation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 New thread coming for Eric. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 this is very sad. great leader and very good player. as far as impacting us next year this is not season altering. Groy will step in and be a very capable starter. I'm glad Wood got to play in a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafter Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Solid person. Great teammate that locked down a position that was in flux for years before he arrived. I hope it's just limited to football and his life is unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnCoke11 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hopefully Something Eric can live a normal life with just can’t take the hits anymore. Thoughts are with him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Awful for Eric and his family. Secondary concern is that the Bills have depth at the position and from that perspective doesn't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Heart goes out to Eric Wood and his family. The guy has been a warrior for the Bills for a long time. Hopefully he and his family can have a long and healthy life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Ya know what though...he has some coin, doesn't have to knock heads and put himself at risk anymore...and apparently (hopefully) can simply walk away from the game and start the next phase of his life with a beautiful family. In a way...good for him. Edited January 26, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) "It was undeniably a memorable run for the Bills, but ultimately inconsistencies on offense stalled out the season. Nobody knows better than Buffalo’s center, Eric Wood, who played in 100-percent of the team’s offensive snaps this season." Just remembered reading this on BB.com and thinking "Wow, what a jinx." Hope he and his family are doing as best as they can. Edited January 26, 2018 by JohnBonhamRocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if he has a long career as a football analyst if he wants that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
