A few nice Micah Hyde shots to the midsection are in order Sunday. 

[Boca BIlls]

Quick someone poke his ribs!

Screw that, this is what we need this week:

Queue Milano for the first crossing route on Sunday...

Edelman is tough, and good.  I expect him to play, and play well.  He's a good outlet for Brady.  

 

The Bills win maybe four times out of ten in this situation (they've actually won 3 of the past 33 games, and they have a better team than in the recent past).  But it's going to be very difficult.

But you're saying there's a chance!

Of course he is!

[White Linen]

That TB12 stuff is real. 

[Clyde Smith]

Hyde will take those ribs out.

For you guys that played football, there is no worse injury. It hurts to breath, walk, bend, reach, and a cough is the worst.

Any contact is extremely painful

I've had it, and you're right -- it sucks! But I'll take it over, say, two torn achilles tendons.

Edelman is one hell of a player and competitor. A throwback to another era.

Sweep the rib.

It is quite possible that Edelman is too dumb to feel pain.

A player tends to protect the injury which can cause dropped passes. Its not something you can control. Been there...

I shutter every time I think about receiving a rocket pass from Josh Allen right to the rib cage. Ouch

There are degrees of severity, and not all rib injuries involve broken bones. Many consist of cartilage damage.  I have had several of the latter, but no broken bones.  Most recently was a couple weeks ago.  Yes, it hurt to cough or breathe or sneeze or blow my nose.  It really hurt to inhale through my nose as I sprayed with flonase.   This was the mildest one I've had, and now I can barely feel it.  I've also had one, from a softball game that hurt for a month or so.  It is impossible to know the severity of what Edelman had.  Whatever it was, hopefully, Taron Johnson or Micah Hyde can remind him how it feels.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Edelman has always loved sticking it to Buffalo. He's not going to miss this game. He taunts Bills fans every time.

[GoBills808]

PEDelman back quickly from injury?

 

Amazing!

I don't know how he could have a "rib injury" and then be playing a few days later unless the injury is a bruised rib, or maybe a hairline fracture to a rib.

 

In either case, he may be feeling better, and he may be shot up with pain killers enough to play on Sunday, but there is no way the bruise or hairline fracture or fundamental, underlying "injury" is healed.

 

Long story short: hit the guy as hard as you can and target his ribs.

I finished game playing with a broken arm.  When game ended adrenaline went away and my lower right arm went Z-shaped with clean breaks of both bones.  Wanted to play with a cast but not allowed.   Edelman will probably wear a flak jacket.  I wonder if he can find some way to make it a weapon like Gronk.

I don't like Edelman at all, so there is that.

 

Was not going for scientifically established and peer reviewed.

I guess... if you consider steroids and cheap shots as part of that generation. 

 

I honestly cant decide if I hate him or Brady more..

I can't stand the Pats either, I just like the way Edelman plays...hell, I don't even know him personally...there is that chance that I wouldn't like him!

[Doc]

Make sure to kick him in the ribs when he's down.

[Southern Bills Fan]

Couple of TB12 injections and he’s as good as new.

He won’t be wearing a red jersey Sunday. If Poyer or Hyde can line him up right a few times, we’ll be in a good spot. JE....not so much

[Augie]

Let us pray he plays with alligator arms leading to good things! Rib injuries are no fun. 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Oliver, Milano and Edmunds are going to be singing the give me my baby back jingle from Chili's all day...

Would love Edelman on this team.. but since he's on the Pats, off with his head!!! This is coming from a guy with him as a starting WR on my FF team

[billsfan_34]

Ribs heal fairly quickly but will be sore- lets smack him around.

[badassgixxer05]

a good liver kick should do the trick.

You would love him if he was a bill though right 

[PaattMaann]

A giant friend of mine picked me up in a bear hug and squeezed me when he was wasted on bourbon, I felt a pop in my chest. I think it was just a cartilage issue.  It was incredibly painful for two weeks, couldnt even get out of bed without losing my breath. Cannot imagine playing football with ANY type of rib injury. A couple good stern tackles and he will be less likely to enjoy his day. 

[Johnny Hammersticks]

I think Edelman’s injury is worse than they’re leading on.  He may be practicing on a limited basis (to give the illusion that he’s good for Sunday), but he isn’t and won’t be close to 100% for Sunday.

 

For those of us who have broken or fractured ribs or a sternum, it hurts to breath let alone walk around or turn your head.  Just my suspicion that will either be substantiated or disproven depending on how JE practices today and tomorrow.

 

BB wants us to gameplan for Edelman.
