Yup … but no one gives af that we entered the post-season mentally drained and with: -Allen, torn UCL -Phillips injured -Poyer injured -Davis injured -Von OUT -Jones OUT -Hyde OUT -Hamlin OUT All anyone remembers is that we didn’t even bother showing up in the Divisional Round and KC was able to beat a Bengals squad with a decimated OL to get to, yet another, Super Bowl. 6 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how many leagues people are in all at once, I feel like they do. That's all I'm saying. We can agree to disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So what is a calf strain? Is it analogous to a hamstring on the front of the leg? And do they linger like hammys? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only comment I've ever heard about the 2023 playoffs is "The Bills choked again." I don't wish injury on anyone, I don't celebrate it - but I also don't care if other teams are set back by it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Ugh. I hope he's all right. Burrow seems like a good guy. 1 hour ago, wjag said: So what is a calf strain? Is it analogous to a hamstring on the front of the leg? And do they linger like hammys? I think it's usually a couple of weeks during the season. For example, Dak Prescott missed 2 weeks with a strained calf. For OL or DL who have to anchor and push their weight and another guy's around, it can linger and impact them for longer I would expect for Burrow they take their time bringing him back.

You’re right. No gives af if a team was injured during an important game. Only results matter. The Bengals, as you noted, beat up on us with a decimated OL. Then the following week got beat by a team with a hobbled qb and decimated wr corp. But no one remembers that about KC. I guess that’s why players don’t use injuries as excuses. They get the job done with who’s available or they don’t. Us fans on the other hand… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t want the Bills to win their first Super Bowl in an empty pandemic stadium nor against a team whose QB goes down in the first quarter. That long-anticipated payoff needs to be righteous. But that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gladly took the win, 13-7, over Green Bay without Aaron Rodgers in 2021. This enabled them to get the #2 seed over us, and they got to host us in the infamous 13-seconds game.

I’m not sure their dynasty can withstand that kind of critique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Is it really his calf? They were calling Durant's injury a "calf injury" until it ended up being his achilles. Edited July 28, 2023 by Chicken Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
