lol what the actual hell.  

 

scheduling must have been like the Wild West before the division realignment in 2002.

Or it could be none of those things.

 

These guys train incredibly hard and I think it's catching up to him.  

Muscle injuries are different than joint injuries.  Of those 3 teams combined you listed only 1 player is out with a muscle strain(McLaurin). Bills have 6.

I don't think it matters what type of injury it is.

MacLaurin, Detrich Wise, Noah Brown and Javonte Jean-Baptist all had serious soft tissue muscle injuries for the Commanders.

 

The league as a whole has increased injuries, especially this year.

Can’t disagree. Wonder if the strained relationship played a part? Probably not but food for thought nonetheless. 

maybe, its like the dude kinda lost his mind.   his play calling was crazy.   early daboll was great

[ShakAttack]

In terms of injuries, I tend to think it’s the players we acquire moreso than the staff. I’ve noticed several ex-Bills that can’t seem to stay healthy on their new teams. And then you also have guys like Josh Allen - who seems to barely work out - yet has more consecutive starts than any active QB, along with our offensive linemen that rarely get injured (knock on wood).

 

so, yeah, it’s a combo of the types of players we bring in along with their own injury history and… luck. 
 

People always want concrete answers in life. Sometimes, it’s not that easy. But again, as far as the defense goes, I think there’s something there as far as bringing in guys that have a past history of getting hurt and/or undersized.

 

The most bizarre part of it all is that of all people, Joey Bosa is one of the last men standing.

Bosa is even playing with a club on his hand.

My buddy just called to say he has an extra ticket, so looks like I’ll be there. I’ll be interested in seeing some of the offensive scheme in person. 

[Dillenger4]

Big game for both teams. I bet all hands on deck as much as possible.

Anyone hear if Gabe is practicing?

[BuffaloBaumer]

Look at the bright side (no pun intended), the Bills will never be as bad as the Sabres...like, never. I think this is going to be a very forgettable year for Buffalo sports teams. Only Beane & Brady could find a way to completely neuter a talent like Allen.

Look with Palmer and Gabe good to go and Shakir and Kinkaid hurt…there’s no excuse. Colman was said by everyone to be better for for the slot. You have a crossroads with him now. You have the 2 reasons why he’s not in there hurt. Move him inside this week. This is the chance to see if he’s worth it. It’s been written for them, the Bills can’t screw it up. You need to see if they have something in this kid. He’s better inside? Let’s find out

Bills have to have the worst Sports Science staffs in professional sports(Sabres Too)

 

I realize the Bills have been bitten by the injury bug this season, but in reality they are recognized as having some of the best strength and wellness facilities in the league.  It's just bad luck.

You knew it was gonna happen.  They are pissed,need a win to keep up for home field throughout the playoffs, and we are ripe for the picking.

 

Mayfield is gonna play his arse off after last week's collapse.

Bigger for us because even if the Bucs lose, they're still in first place in their division.

 

Gabe was practicing and leading individual drills yesterday. Based on various media members, they're favoring him to play this week.

Is there a reason why we aren’t confident in the guys we’re getting back, along Josh playing his arse off after the embarrassment last week?

 

Genuine question.  I’m not trying to be condescending. 
 

It honestly feels like everyone is worried about what you point out yet nobody has confidence in our guy to do the same.  
 

Thats quite the depressing acknowledgment of where we’re at right now.

I have zero confidence this team even makes the playoffs.  They played like crap in most of their wins and lost to 2 totally crap teams at the time they played them.

 

We lose on Sunday and I think the wheels come off.  Im a fan,Im a die hard fan but I know what I'm seeing and its not good

Ticket prices a nose diving for this game.  Probably because of the weather and the product on the field.

Partly cloudy and 39 with a brisk 15-25 mph wind. I mean, it might be slightly chillier than normal, but that's not out of the "normal range" for November. The fact there is no precip is a big win.

 

Product on the field? People are so spoiled here the last 5+ years it's absurd.
