Dr. Trooth Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 It's up to 10. And, If you count Veek and Shouman being waived injured, then the real count is 12. And still 5 games to go. Not sure what the Bills ended up with last year, although I seem to think 15. Srange thing... 6 of those guys are LBs... plus Veek = 7. Three WRs and one DE... plus one TE (Shouman), who was the size of a WR. News hasn't been good on McGee either... talking nerve damage... that's stuff that ends careers. The Bills adding a 4th TE to the roster can't be great news for Shawn Nelson either.
akm0404 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I R getting fat too. It's winter though, just prepping for hibernation. Don't hate.
jr1 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 They're not making the playoffs so why postpone rehabs and surgeries
bowery4 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Who is Veek? Yeah it is preseason/season tryout put guys on IR, ok next year 18 games bigger rosters save them for that.
Meathead Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 it seems like this ir parade happens to the bills every season i thought the new two headed trainer was supposed to stop this from happening its not a playoff season and most of the guys going are scrubs so its not much of an issue for this season but i sure hope it doesnt go this way next year when the team is trying to fulfill my prediction of making the postseason
Pilsner Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Veek is Beeker's stand in when the mad scientist tries an extra dangerous experiment.
Mr_Blizzard Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 They're not making the playoffs so why postpone rehabs and surgeries True. Time-wise, there's only 30 days left before the Bills' season is over. If someone gets hurt now, and it's more than a 2 week injury, might as well put them on IR and bring other people in for a look-see. This is where it's good to have a quality pro-personnel guy who knows can identify decent practice-squaders and free agents. (And please save the Merriman comments)
Chandemonium Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I thought we had 20+ guys on IR by the end of last season. While 10 is a lot, it doesn't come close to last year.
eSJayDee Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Veek = Kawika Mitchell. & I too seem to recall the # last yr exceeding 20 all told.
Arkady Renko Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Veek = Kawika Mitchell. & I too seem to recall the # last yr exceeding 20 all told. Has he found a new team?
'64 Bills Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I sense Gailey is bringing in NEW TE's to see if they can help next season and is comfortable letting the kids play LB for the next 5 games as an audition for 2011. Why not? With 9 loses what have we got to lose? It's actually pretty smart!
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Has he found a new team? Don't think so. But, we did pick up Shawne Merriman to fill his role.
Coach Tuesday Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 The Bills' medical staff continues to operate like a horse hospital. Knee sprain: shoot. Turf toe: shoot. Groin pull: shoot. Etc.

T master Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Even with IR getting fat it's encouraging what Gailey & Nix are doing to replenish the talent that we are losing to IR . This year has not been a good one with regards to S . Nelson - 1st the suspension & now the migranes . I think Gailey could use him in his scheme because of his talent but i think if he doesn't get much on field time next year due to injury or the head aches he'll be gone . This team is making a bunch of the right moves - moves that ole DJ was clueless on . I believe next year will show even more promise especially if Buddy & Chan are able to do the job Ralph hired them to do with out him interfering too much .

silvermike Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 IR isn't the best indication of a team's health - it's often more a state-of-the-roster situation. A two-week injury for a marginal player might lead Chan to conclude that it's not worth going into a single game shorthanded, and replace him with a practice squadder. Six games of Antonio Coleman might be worth four of Keith Ellison, and so Keith goes on IR with a minor injury.
mikey98277 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 If you listen to Gailey talk, he states all the time that he is always looking for players to better the team, if someone is only maybe going to play 1 more game, then he wants to bring in anyone he can to see them play to see if they are worth a shot next year, there is no playoffs so no reason to worry about hurry up and play those you already know about coming off an injury.

This is a business after all people.
b stein 22 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Well at least now they have to start our rookies and give them a lot of snaps.
