Really..??? WTF? This is the best the main-stream sports media has?

 

http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/21487/bills-handling-of-aaron-williams-lesean-mccoy-deserves-scrutiny

 

I've had mild doubts about the Bill's hadling of injuries.. but not so over the the top as this.

 

I think the Bills have bordered right on the line.

 

Thankfully the game is played on the field.. not in the network ratings (aka click bait).

I call into question Roadkill's ability to be a competent beat reporter for the Bills...maybe he'd like to revisit the "wasted" draft pick article he wrote regarding Darby and Karlos Williams?

The Aaron Williams return was questionable - the guy was half paralyzed for 15 minutes just two weeks before. He had a setback mid-game in TN and returned later. Now Rex is saying that it's concerning and places him on short-term IR. That does raise eyebrows.

 

It also tells me that Taylor isn't going to play this week. Rushing players back from injury too soon isn't a good idea.

I saw it and did not post it because I'm tired of Road Hack's Negatively slanted Bull :censored:

This neck problem has been going on for a couple years now.

 

I think the end might be near for him.

Im avoiding it all and just worrying about Sundays. The injuries this year are insane and it is always something in this town. Maybe if I dont follow it all as much it will fix itself lol

I hope not but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

Approx. 8 years ago, I was t-boned by a dwi and had neck pain for 2 months. The pain was constant and unbearable and nothing (including vicodin, which I had given up on) helped. The orthopedic surgeon told me that the pain might never go away but one day it just got a little better, and the pain was soon gone. I don't know how I would have survived had the pain remained. It was THAT bad. And I don't play professional football.

 

I was furious when they drafted Williams. As you surely recall, the picks after him were Dalton and Kaepernick. And make no mistake, he was totally awful at corner. Remember how terrible he was? But he was/is imo, a VERY good safety, and a big asset to this football team.

 

You know how much I care about the Bills, but I would not want this man to live his life in the pain that I experienced. I pray that it works out well.

Well, not sure what to say other than thank God it got better for you, Bill! I'm still not sure what the actual injury is for AW. Is it a disc or a stinger, or what? Regardless, he needs to look at his long term health. My son had a stinger his senior year of HS, and STILL has issues and goes to doctors 5 years later. That was high school ball. I want our best players out there, but I don't need any more Darryl Stingley stories. Get good doctors, and listen!

I think Bills FO will re assess how they handle injuries.

We have heard that McCoy was injured during preseason now too. Along with Taylor.

Watkins Harvin Goodwin.

Graham!!

There are more of course.

Geebus lets hope they err on the side of safety with Karlos. Cant rush these guys back. its just part of the game.

next

Not a Rodak fan, but you would have to be naive not to think someone is making bad desicions, whether it is the coaches, doctors, trainers, or players themselves.something is not right

 

You have the mccoy injury,he is out a couple weeks and they say he is fine to play. which turns into him being out almost a month because he came back too soon. Then aaron williams, has a neck injury that scared the heck out of everyone, he is out for 2 weeks, plays in a game, ends the game ok, and now he is on IR. Karlos Williams looks fine all game, and now he has a concussion that has kept him out multiple weeks with no timeline to return...a conncession that bad, and no one knew about it until well after the game was over.

 

Sure, some of this is just part of the game. But a lot of this putting players out there and then pulling them back isn't something I have seen on this team before

Not sure how his neck injury last year got brushed under the rug.

 

I thought he was going to get IR'd early in the season LAST year when he kept hurting his neck.

 

The play he suffered temporary paralysis on looked completely harmless.

 

Then he comes back two full weeks later and makes a routine tackle with his shoulder and hurts his neck again.

 

He is a gamer but his neck is f*cked.

I dont see how you reached the ultimate conclusion Badol.

But damn straight Bills better treat this with Kid Gloves.

Sucks because the kid has been pretty good for us, and team leader.

Safety first.

 

Duke, you better put your big boy pants on now. Here comes the S storm at you

Augie, thanks so much for the kind words and I DO thank God for the pain going away. I pray that your son fully recovers. As much as I want this team to win, the neck is not something to play with. Lower back pain feels great compared to neck pain and I wouldn't want AW to suffer like that.
