Was there a report on that?

 

looked like the play he was hurt it was the wind got knocked out of him -  looked like he got hit with a fist low when they were swinging at the ball on that play 

I didn't personally see a report, but someone here said McDermott said something about it.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

 

Last year their LT was out for the AFCCG. Their #2 WR Mecole Hardman came off IR right before the playoffs. Their #3 WR Toney was out for the AFCCG. Their #1 CB L’Jarius Sneed was questionable with a calf injury and then went out with a concussion in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes had a high ankle sprain, which is often a month long injury, even though get toughed it out. 

 

That's a good amount of injuries. The whole talk last year was if the Chiefs could overcome all that adversity.

It's our chance now to overcome it. And I think we can.

Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit. It's not that serious. Overall they have consistently been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL over the last 3 years. It's dumb and I'm being a baby about it. Go Bills.

Probably the news most expected on the injury front and sucks that Benford is already ruled out unless something weird happens again where he actually plays after all (I believe McD said Poyer wouldn't play in a game earlier this year but ended up being out there after all).

 

But Bernard straight up has that 'Dog in him'. Was so wrong about this guy but you get the sense he's playing no matter what on Sunday night.

that was my point from my first post in this topic....You have to make a roster move to get Haack on the gameday roster for sunday.  either someone gets cut or Martin goes to IR and is done for the year.   I do not think they can just cut martin and bring him back next week because he is injured.  I don't think you can make an injury settlement release in this scenario and resign him.

 

so that goes back to Davis and Diggs now both injured, one out and one in with a potential to aggravate it during the game Andy Isabella is 100% going to be called up and same for Klein since Bernard even if healthy enough to make the gameday active roster you won't know how long he will go before the injury is too much to play with or he just is not 100% and is a liability.

 

 

Do they really need Isabella? 

I'd rather go with one less WR and an extra DL this week. 

 

Good points about the Martin roster spot. Will be interesting to see how if all plays out. Maybe move Spector to IR and sign Klein to the active roster? Klein can play all the special teams Spector does.  That allows you to bring up Haack as a PS elevation only.

This is huge.  Douglas covers Kelce and who covers Rice?  If it comes down to needing our defense to need a big stop, we are going to be outmatched in certain positions.  I don't like this at all.  If we don't have Bernard and Johnson too, we are in trouble.  

 

There is definitely a certain “tone” to your posts leading up to this game.

 

I hope you are staying away from sharp objects.

If memory serves correct, Taron Johnson normally takes over Kelce-duty. 
 

(more like Kelce doody. Amirite)

My take from the Bernard video, he looks like a guy that can run straight but stopping fast and cutting...that's a whole different story.  Kinda' gimpy looking to me but trying not to show it.

Cam Lewis has played very well. Not a huge loss there. The loss is the depth. If Lewis gets hurt we’re thin.

 

I don't see it. I see a guy that gets picked on whenever he's in the game.

 

I loved the positivity in training camp, but man, I don't want cam anywhere near the field against Mahomes

Taron Johnson playing is huge.

 

Bernard has been excellent this season but I'm confident that Dodson and a combo of Klein/Williams can fill the LB roles just fine.

 

I'm confident the defense can play at a high level regardless of the injuries.

 

Game comes down to how the OLine plays vs. the Chiefs defensive front and if McDermott can limit his game management gaffes. We will find out soon enough.

Honestly this is good news. It means Bernard has a chance which is crazy considering the way it looked on the field. I already wasn't expecting any of the guys ruled out to play.

 

Hopefully Benford can be back next week and Davis for the SB.

 

 


Injuries never help.  But I think Johnson is the most important player on the list.  If we can get Johnson back it’s big.  If Barnard SOMEHOW is active, even better.

 

I feel comfortably with the depth on the rest of the players who are out

Dodson and Bernard hopefully starting with Williams/Klein ready. Rasul will return.  Dane & Taron playing. DQ back and Von on a slight uptick.  Add a little adrenaline and I like our chances.

Johnson is practicing he’s on pace to clear the protocol banning any surprises.  Today is a big indicator if Bernard will play

FUUUUUUUUU

 

Ok. Deep breaths.

 

Davis was a given and Rapp was expected.

 

Benford hurts. Dane Jackson is good, but that leaves us extremely thin.

 

Spector and Benford are just such surprised because they were supposed to be day to day pain management issues.

 

I am really hoping Bernard is back

Bernard practicing though it's just a walkthrough

 

 

AAHHHHHHH get him out there!

If any team has demonstrated an ability to stitch together better than average defense with third stringers, ace bandages and duct tape, it’s this one. 
 

If Josh has a clean game, we win.

Neal got zero snaps on defense the last game. 

We've seen him try and guard Kelce in the past... lot's of holding calls is about it

 

 

 

Because Rapp played.  Who played the role when Rapp wasn't here?  I'll give you a hint.

Why is Benford in walkthroughs if he is ruled OUT?

GO BILLS

This. Not having the other guys sucks, but if we have these 3 plus Dodson I will feel much better about the game.

With all these injuries I really think they need to IR Sam Martin and just stick with Haack. Really a waste of an elevation if Martin cant go 


I believe that they hope Martin can go in a week and get Fournette back.

If Bernard can somehow miraculously go, have to imagine he may need to be on a pitch count? If so, i'm torn on who tags in for him. Klein has the vet savvy but can't cover while Williams brings the atheticism but is likely to get picked on in his own right given lack of experience. That said, if we can get quality snaps from 43 on even half the snaps I'll take it as a win!

I'll be honest, I don't know. 

 

If I am to make a barely informed guess?

 

Word is that what Benford's injury is a torn meniscus. Some people are able to play on it, some aren't it depends on the swelling. Recovery is a few weeks if you need a laparoscopic surgery, but you need swelling to go down to be able to do it.

 

In comparison, if Bernard's sprain is a common lateral sprain there isn't a surgical option, just rest (elevate and ice) and pain management. That he's on the field practicing and stretching is a decent sign that it might have been a lower grade.

Our DL is going to have to step up.

 


I agree but I also see the Chiefs attacking short with the Bills LBer situation. Dump offs to backs, quick receiver and tight end passes. Somehow the Bills are going to have to make Mahomes hold the ball a tad longer. That will be a chore.
