I hate to be that guy but he’s proven he doesn’t have Superman genes

 

he had his leg stepped on in practice and didn’t play for a month 

Or by a horse.  Either one.

I mean compared to your average American guy then maybe he’s not what you’d class as fat, but for a professional athlete he undoubtably has a gut. Not saying it’s a bad thing, the majority of DT guys have guts, just that I don’t think doing different training to Joel Romero is the reason he doesn’t have the same 6 pack like Joel as Aaron Donald is also like a Greek God and did football not MMA training

I hear ya. Just meant for a dt he’s definitely not fat

Put him in bubblewrap until the playoffs.

I feel like he's back for the playoffs.  It seems like every player that gets a long term injury these days is coming back sooner than expected - medical advances are outpacing conventional wisdom on recovery times.

I'm afraid that him suddenly being dressed and him actually being effective are two completely different things.

Agree - although I guess you never know 🙏

 

Definitely been a couple guys who have come back "early" from torn biceps / triceps and ripped it off again first game as they rushed it too much to try and get back for post season - it's just not had enough time to actually reattach (Brandon Graham was one, can't remember the other)

If Ed tries to play again this year the odds of him tearing his bicep worse than last time and requiring surgery are really high, which would mean his offseason would be impacted and he'd likely show up to camp in much worse condition. Lots of ifs there but I'd bet actual money on that outcome.

Feel like guys regularly play with elbow braces to account for bicep or other injuries

I grow weary of seeing posts like this. The Playoffs are far from a sure thing.

 

The Division is pretty much out of reach. We're barely holding on to the 7th seed right now. We've gone 3-4 over the past 7 weeks - dropping to teams like the Falcons, Dolphins, and a backup QB led Texans. 

 

Meanwhile, over the next 6 games we have the Steelers with a winning record, the Bengals with Joe Burrow back, the Super Bowl Champion Eagles, and the Patriots in New England coming up. A much harder stretch of games than the 7 we just went 3-4 in.

 

The way that our Defense has been playing between a broken scheme and terrible roster makeup, a broken offense, how the team has been performing, and injuries worse than we've had all season - even squeezing out 3 wins in the 6 games is a huge ask. And even then, with the way other teams in the AFC have been performing - 10-7 is no guaranteed Wild Card spot.

 

I know fans are used to always getting in. But this isn't the same Bills we've had over the past 6 years. We can't be trusted to beat *anyone* right now.
