OutOfBubbleGum Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Everyone is taking about firing McDermott, Dorsey and the special teams coach but what about the strength and conditioning coaches? These injuries are killing the Bills. It's not like all are unpredictable. Is it time for a new approach to the new longer schedule of the NFL? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorquemada Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 thats a fair question, i've never seen so many critical injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBFL Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Apparently they have one of, if not the, best facilities for that kind of stuff… Injuries happen, especially when you have a team built of older, veteran players.

Your Brown Eye Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I'm firing the equipment guys first. Maybe they are incorrectly fitting the player's shoes with incorrectly sized cleats. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyBoys Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 no you can only build up a small ball defense so much We have smaller players doing the bulk of the tackling Frankly I'm surprised we haven't had more injuries Linebackers are lightweights and safeties and corners expected to tackle a ton in this scheme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We are the oldest team in the NFL. None of the injured players on D are young. I think the injuries are more of a reflection of the age on our team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of the injuries are the muscle/tendon type that you can, to some extent, prevent with proper warmups, stretching, and recovery. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams have a mini-bye now with all the Thursday night games. Isn’t as big of an issue as you would believe.

RousseauRage Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 It's football. People get injured. Our defense has been fine even with the injuries. Look around the league, we've been fortunate with injuries. I think there's been like 15 QBs out of games with injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this franchise really needs to clean house from top to bottom entering a crucial offseason that may very well dictate whether or not a 'second window' opens in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaninSarasota Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) does anyone not realize football is a super violent game played by men who are getting bigger, stronger, and faster every freaking year? anyone not notice the injury list getting longer around the ENTIRE NFL every single week? the NFL is a war of attrition. Moreover, the Bills organization has been lauded for their facilities and staff.

These injuries are killing the Bills. It's not like all are unpredictable. Is it time for a new approach to the new longer schedule of the NFL? I've wondered about this a lot, not just in recent years but in general. McD's first few seasons, we had relatively little in the way of season-ending injuries -- particularly to key players. I thought he must have brought in some S&C guru's that helped to provide that, but now the last couple years our injury report is miles long and key players are dropping like flies. Are we maybe investing too heavily in aging players? Paying guys lots of money after age 30 and putting them in key roles might be a factor here, at least as far as nagging injuries are concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramza86 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yup. Seriously I want everyone fired...except maybe the staff that kept Hamlin alive, probably the only memebers of staff that have done anything productive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 No, we had a string of like 3-4 seasons where we had guys minimally injured and we were considered one of the best strength staffs. This is what happens when players get older. Hyde, Poyer, Miller are all older. I love Milano but he is extremely undersized at LB so he is going to get dinged from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krf139 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Sal Cappacio and wgr talking heads love to toot their horns during seasons with limited injuries.

Easy enough to do, get rid of old players and have a plan to improve that doesn't involve relying on aging vets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
