The Red King Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just curious if those in the know, know if Buffalo is changing anything about their conditioning program. Yes, every team has injuries, but Buffalo was absolutely crippled by them, both in number and the quality of player taken down. And it's been two seasons in a row now. To be clear, I'm asking seriously. I'm no doc, or that knowledgable about the specifics of the different injuries or how teams handle this kind of stuff. I know it's been bad luck, and I honestly don't know if there is anything we could change/improve to try and help cut down on them. I think this team can go all the way, and would hate to see a third straight season sniped by yet another epidemic of injuries. I hope we're not playing overseas this year. And I'm not thrilled we're at Detroit again. Hope their turf doesn't claim more victims. >.> 4 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’m no doctor but I suspect that there’s not much one can do about a broken leg, (Milano) but older guys bodies are older, and likely more prone to muscle ,tendon and acl /mcl injuries, with age comes less elasticity the human body is what it is. It’s not that these injuries can’t Happen to a 23 / 24 year old but I think you all get what I’m saying. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I know that they’ve touted their training and recovery facilities and program in the past. Those are supposed to be quite good. I think the main thing that they are doing now is getting younger. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Bills already do what they can. They have top notch facilities and equipment, they monitor reps, give rest days, are conservative with recovery times, etc. It mostly comes down to bad luck. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I know Bills are building a new stadium but I think they should build a new practice field so less impact on players while practicing meanwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda Triangle Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Jackson & Benford seem to be constantly hurt. Not sure relying on Benford moving forward is a smart idea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Unkind words from coaches to players are being monitored. Words hurt. * Gregg Williams is SOL, no matter what he claims. 🤨 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky7337 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Rumor has it they are being entombed in bubble wrap when not in the facilities, and have also employed the use of fortune tellers and psychics to help predict and eliminate all risk. Remember, don't get out of bed, there's risk everywhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the last couple of years has really raised concerns about our training programs and ataff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are just unfortunate injuries that happen and even players in the best conditioning program can get them. Those are just caused by stepping wrong on the field in the moment. Conditioning would be more about keeping guys in shape and not getting hamstring injuries and stuff like that.

BuffaninSarasota Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 You do realize football is a violent game, often played on subpar playing fields, and every year players are getting bigger, faster, and stronger (...which increases the chances of injuries?

He was actually healthier this year than I thought he was. Playing in 15 games. Idk, give him year 3 I guess but your right, usually it’s a trend and I bring that up all the time with guys like Milano, Epenesa, Jones, Phillips, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) 41 minutes ago, The Red King said: Please, please tell me you're kidding. 😆 confirmed another case of someones gut feeling/ excuses with no useful factual information. For instance, for 2022 when the Bills were supposedly had an epidemic of injuries (your words)...the Bills were actually had among the least games lost due to injury. https://twitter.com/ManGamesLostNFL/status/1613667261696319489/photo/1 Edited March 8 by Matt_In_NH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
