ILBillsfan Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 some ford or a pulling Morse/Felaciano w a hard hit to the chest the first time Watt comes in to test out that man's level of play

Better than after the fact whining... plant the seed in the refs head, can’t hurt, all part of a good overall game plan strategy imo, leave no potential advantage unaddressed. Get in your opponents head. This is war without actually, well, killing anyone... its Win or go home time. Just sayin, Go Bills!!! 1

Anything further than a buttery soft brace should not be allowed. The stretchy, fabric knee braces that some people use, perfectly fine. Reinforced plastic brace, absolutely not. This isn’t the bionic league. Sorry dude, youre badly misinformed. Watch any college or NFL game. Most OL are wearing very sturdy knee braces. Its a good idea. You want to see MORE knee injuries?? the stretchy fabric knee braces are for girls gymnastics.
NoSaint Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Reports are Watt will wear a brace to limit his arm motion. As we saw, Gronkowski misused his brace as a weapon and assaulted Tre' White vs Steelers, we all saw Watt's brother punch Josh (not the ball - Josh) hard Is there a pathway for the Bills to raise a concern with the league and with the officials that they be on the watch for and prevent misuse of the brace as a weapon? Because a different player on a different team did something in a different season you are worried? and trying to punch out the ball is good defense. 1 1
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I’ve got to think braces are regulated by the NFL and these braces are not as heavy duty as they look.
vanhalen26 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I just hope he’s not being foolish like kevin Durant was - and is truly healthy enough to play. Don’t get me wrong - I want a big massive win by the Bills - but it would be a shame for any player to rush back from a major injury and make it exponentially worse like Durant did.

I think that’s exactly what he is doing. I told my buddies before KD played that I was sure it was an Achilles. Chronic, nagging “Lower calf strain”? Just way too risky. same with watt. Really dumb idea to be rushing back from a torn pec. If he rests, he has so many more months to truly get back to 100%.
NobesBLO13 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Watt is no Vontaze Burfict, probably a non concern.
nedboy7 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I think he will be picking up the pieces of his brace by the second quarter. 1
Bookie Man Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Haha I loved when Kyle Williams asked Harrison Phillips if he really was going to be wearing his arm brace. And Harry said yeah why. Kyle goes "Oh I thought you were tougher than that." ? 1

She said he was always the guy at the keg; the “keg master.” She thinks he’s hilarious. She loved watching him play. I’m much less concerned about the fact that my wife may have slept with Gronk than I am about the need for a Bills player to rip JJ Watts pec back out of its normal spot on the first play tomorrow. This is probably my favorite post of 2020. 2 1
Freddie's Dead Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) You have to swat Watt's arm down and punch him in the chest all day long. Work that pec muscle hard. Forget the brace. Edited January 4, 2020 by Freddie's Dead

I completely agree with most of what you say. That girls gymnastics stuff is dangerous as crap. I cringe everytime I see my daughter flying through the air over a balance beam.
1ManRaid Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Success said: I genuinely dislike it when Gronk gets remembered like this fun frat boy baller. Total thug, who could have really hurt Tre w/ that move. And all because he was so frustrated w/ a jersey pull, up by 3 scores w/ 5 minutes to go in a game. Never forget. I don't care how goofy he is now on TV. Considering he got away with offensive pass interference on every other play so NE could maintain their "elite" offense, he had no room to complain about no-calls. On top of constantly clubbing people with his still-totally-needed cast/brace/whatever, of course. 1 hour ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: I’ve got to think braces are regulated by the NFL and these braces are not as heavy duty as they look. Just don't forget the exception for New England TEs.

Watt always wears a huge arm brace to begin with...maybe Gronk got roid rage and decided to try and murder White but Watt would NEVER do such a thing, he is pure class.... also he is squeaky clean of roids so no rage to worry about except for his normal farm man 200% nonstop motor on every play. Also TJ Watt is not a dirty player at all, just a clever sexy beast... Edited January 4, 2020 by Sherlock Holmes

I am merely saying refs need to pay closer attention and enforce if a player uses the brace in wrongful manner. The first part I think you missed my point- oh well- Go Bills ? You don't think Gronk's attack with his arm brace was a total anomaly? I've never seen that before. 1
