If say you don't get hurt until the body gets to 55%, it's a lot further you have to fall to get to 55% when you are starting at 90% than when you are starting at 75%. Injuries don't happen in a vacuum a lot of times, they happen slowly over the course of a season until the area becomes too weak to prevent the injury. The Bills are rightfully making sure each game the players are starting off as close to 100% as possible. they can't dictate that injuries won't happen, even with the most advance methods and diets and things, even though gurus come in with promises and heaven effluvia just happens when you put yourself into a violent collision sport don't tick off the football gods....

They know that. They are just trying to lessen the chances of them happening.

Gore played in every game. Good point. I forgot about that. Still wish I had seen more Singletary and less Gore though. 1

I feel like the D is just about set - hoping that they devote most of the offseason moves to O-line, WR & RB. Thanks! Waddle was signed on a one year deal and he's a free agent right now. He signed with the Bills for $1.5MM on a one year prove it kind of deal and never made it out of the preseason before tearing his quad.
