Can I get a summary without having to watch the whole 30min video? 😆

 

What's the secret?

In essence, it’s the training regiments players employ to be their fittest in the offseason. It’s to a level that that exceeds the understood limit of human development where soft tissue injuries WILL happen to those ‘skill player’ types vs the big fellas up front. Every team is dealing with it. A tad too much science in the diet.

By far the Bills have had the fewest man games missed due to injuries in the NFL since McDermott has been here. Like by probably over a hundred games at this point over the second closest team.

 

Almost always they are in the top 5 teams with fewest man games lost every year.

 

It seems like we have a lot because we pay attention to them more than other teams, but the truth is, we are one of the least injured teams in the NFL, ours just seem to always hit the same position group at the same time.

The five starting o-linemen missed only one game last year.  And really not many offensive skill position injuries either…Cooper, Coleman and Kincaid missed a few games, but that’s it.  Almost unprecedented.

I was 7 when this guy retired. Apologies I didn't know about an obscure lineman with an unremarkable career. Take yourself to bed. 

So you don't know The Electric Company?  Butch Byrd and Cookie?  The KGun?  Joe Cribbs?  Lou Piccone?  Lou Saban?  Youth is wasted on the young, Grasshopper

I thought it would be easier to read the comments to get the answers. Silly me!🤪

My take still stands. Way too many fans that start podcasts centered around the Bills. This guy, not a fan. Didn't know he was a player, I also don't google every single podcast host of a bills show. I also don't think every single ex-nfl'er needs to do a podcast. But didnt mean to ruffle all your feathers over a former Bills lineman. Whoops

 

Dude — here’s a life tip, free of charge:  when you show your a$$ and get called out for it, the appropriate thing to do is NOT to double-down on your erroneous take.  There’s a really easy way to handle this that doesn’t make you look like a prick.

I don't have enough context to say we are among the fewest, but I have been arguing for a long time the injury concerns for the Bills are grossly overstated. I'm still hearing the "we just can't play them healthy (KC)", based on Benford. Yes, he matters, A LOT. But we aren't going to play them with 11 starters healthy on both sides of the ball and our offensive luck with injuries has been elite. Allen has never been hurt when guys like Burrow and Jackson have and ultimately wrecked those teams seasons. We could have far worse luck. 

Rapp is walking concussion waiting to happen. Benford was a walking concussion waiting to happen last year. Bernard and Milano have each developed a fairly clear history. Do you expect these guys to last a full year?  Maybe one or two will, but the history of these players is extensive at this point. This isn't "bad luck" it's bad planning if you don't have viable alternatives. Excuses need to go away. 

Damn it!  Hope you didn’t jinx it!

Sure, but everywhere I turn there's a different bills podcast with a different dumb buffalo themed name all with the same takes. And they all claim to know more than the next and then we get ourselves into the situation today where people think "circling the wagons" is breaking news...and its wrong. Just way too much material.

you are not wrong. There is generally a huge oversaturation in the podcast market. Not necessarily just Bills, but everywhere. A lot of junk out there that you have to sift through.

But unfortunately they have been key players in key moments....

Benford in the last two playoff games against the Chiefs

Rapp, our best Safety not playing the AFC Championship game

Bernard and Milano missing these playoff games

If these players were on the field, the results could have been different...

Aj Klein Starting in the divisional round two years ago was a godsend to the Chiefs

Yes, lets go back to 0 national coverage.  Only news source WGR.  Variety is great imo.  Follow the content you like and ignore the rest.  Stuff I like you may not and vice versa.

You clearly need one.  Manners too.
