BADOLBILZ Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Dan LeBetard show anyone? They are surmising that Sammy didn't like Percy because he's taking targets away from him and Percy is upset, etc Ok It's a sore hip not a fat lip. I know this because all NFL players are mentally tough.
The Poojer Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 i took the 'don't know where he was' more to indicate he doesn't know what he is feeling, retirement or frustration from injury, not necessarily in a we don't know where he is 'physically' He also said he didnt know where he was Didnt you find that a bit odd?
Nihilarian Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I really questioned signing this player for 6 mill per as he really hasn't done anything ever as a WR mostly because he has never had a 1000 yard season receiving or more then 6 TD's. But then after watching him play with Buffalo I changed my mind thinking he would be worth the money if he can stay healthy. It must be so difficult as a pro player to be let down by your body year after year. I sure hope this isn't what the future holds for Sammy Watkins. Starting to look that way though. @TBNSports Hip, health & hanging it up: WNY native Wohlabaugh has been in Harvin’s cleats. @TBNbucky: http://buckyandsully.buffalonews.com/2015/10/22/hip-health-and-hanging-it-up-wohlabaugh-has-been-in-harvins-cleats/ Good article, I can relate.
NoSaint Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 i took the 'don't know where he was' more to indicate he doesn't know what he is feeling, retirement or frustration from injury, not necessarily in a we don't know where he is 'physically' Or even physically how he's healing. But not geographically that he is literally a missing person as far as the team is aware
3rdand12 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 i took the 'don't know where he was' more to indicate he doesn't know what he is feeling, retirement or frustration from injury, not necessarily in a we don't know where he is 'physically' seemed clear enough to me. But is this a story being inflated now that the " not travelling " is the statement. If he was sitting again, maybe not so much? Once people start to poke around they always find something to spout for their efforts. cant write nothin' when you were asked to find out what is the story now can ya? Probably thinking about retiring for longer than this week if his pain is so significant. such crap. who cares. Next
Mr. WEO Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 A bad hip injury killed BO Jackson's career. Injuries are nothing to sneeze at or mock. Bo Jackon dislocated his hip during a game. He subsequently devloped avascular necrosis of his femoral head, requiring hip replacement. Harvin has a "hip injury"...

Gray Beard Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I wonder if Harvin is thinking that this team is not as good as he once thought, so he is limiting the likelihood of injury since this team is imploding with injuries, people grumbling about the defensive scheme, quarterback questions, etc. Maybe it's too soon for so much doubt, but when playing hurt the uncertainty could get amplified.

NoSaint Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 That doesn't sound promising. I guess..... In a nutshell, It sounds like: DW: hey how are you feeling Ph: not good man. I'm worried about my future if I push it. Part of me feels like I should walk away while I can still walk. DW: well, we will all be overseas this week, why don't you take some time with friends and family and think about it- try to get healed up... We can talk next week and hopefully the rehab and time to clear your head has you feeling better, but I understand your concerns. Which isn't terrible, but who knows how well reasoned it actually was.
YoloinOhio Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 @tiffblackmon: Spoke with Bills receiver Robert Woods- told me he communicated with Harvin last Sunday. Said he's been offering support.

Which isn't terrible, but who knows how well reasoned it actually was. It could mean a lot of things, but that is - by far - the most Pollyanna way to assume the situation is transpiring. It could be: - Just about Harvin getting healthy (as you assume) - Harvin dealing with some personal matters unrelated to football that are interfering with his playing - Harvin taking a powder because he's unhappy with the team/his use/etc. (and it wouldn't be the first time that happened, or the second) - Harvin deciding whether or not his body has had enough of football It really could be any one or multiple ones of those. I suspect that it isn't primarily #1 mainly because there hasn't been any mention of medical evaluations or treatments. The other issue is his track record. He's never put his team ahead of himself and despite many posters thinking his 2 whole months of keeping his mouth shut and suiting up while with the Jets meant he'd changed, some of us weren't convinced. I hoped he could make it through 1 season without the same issues raising their heads because he has so much on the line financially, but here we are in a situation that looks very familiar.
May Day 10 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 The bills tipping their hand like this makes me think that it is not good. Either that or the organization is a giant bozo. If they were on the same page the bills would say he is hurt, stayed home to try to rehab. We will see after the bye week where he stands.
Fadingpain Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 The bills tipping their hand like this makes me think that it is not good. Either that or the organization is a giant bozo. If they were on the same page the bills would say he is hurt, stayed home to try to rehab. We will see after the bye week where he stands. I agree with this take. Either way, this guy won't be associated with the team a heck of a lot longer anyway.
BarleyNY Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 One thing to keep in mind: If Harvin retires due to injury issues then the Bills can't recoup any signing bonus money, but if he were to retire for personal reasons they could.
