Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 19 minutes ago, matter2003 said: How is it you find out players played with serious injuries after the season every year but these same players never appear on the weekly injury report for it? It's a good question. In some cases, the player may not know - he may know there is pain, but X-ray was negative and he has function (is able to bend fingers and wrists, but with pain). This may be a "don't ask, don't tell" situation where the player doesn't miss a snap of practice or game and the team attributes it to "normal post game soreness". Here are the injury report regulations, which I find about as clear as crystal mud: https://operations.nfl.com/media/2683/2017-nfl-injury-report-policy.pdf 1

Never missed a game, not sure if he missed practices. If the player isn't missing practice and is in no danger of missing a game, i don't think anything needs to be reported. 1

Torn wrist ligaments for a DE are probably pretty tough. Exactly. When a good (or great) player has a down year I always wonder if it’s because they’re significantly dinged up. This makes a lot of sense.

Bob Gibson took on 3 more batters after a line drive fractured his fibula. that;s defying the universal force of gravity as well as pain.
peterpan Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I love Hughes more than most. But we have to face the facts here and adjust our attitude. Hughes is held on so many plays and he has clearly been black balled by the refs. We need to stop complaing about it and accept that it's going to continue. For that reason, we need to replace Hughes. He is our premier pass rusher and he gets very little pressure. I know it's because he is being held, but the refs just don't call holding against Hughes. Therefore we need to move one. We need pressure from that position.

Of course, if he was JJ Watt, the NFL would award him a Purple Heart and the media would engage in word ***** with him. Well if he was JJ Watt he'd be an elite player with elite sack production and multiple defensive player of the year awards. I wish that were the case. 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 If a hurt wrist kept him from jumping offside every few plays this year then I hope he hurts it next year too!! 1

I understand his frustration for not getting calls. But unfortunately he's burned every referee bridge that ever existed. He's become a liability to the Bills. Other tackles know they can hold him all day long and no ref in this league will touch their flag. He's officially been blackballed. We need Ngakoue to replace Trent and we need a young edge to replace Jerry.
