F**K!!!  Guess we should get ready to play without Milano again...

 

 

 

Of course not.  Why would we have a team of healthy guys all together?  We havent had one full game of a full healthy defense yet this season.

Hopefully a vet rest day for Poyer? He was not listed on the injury report yesterday.

Very frustrating luck for the Bills this season.  I hate to say it too but all the Poyer injuries this year are going to have an effect on his worth next season, fairly or not.

If there's anything I know about this defense it's this: not having Matt Milano is bad news. It's always painfully obvious how much he is needed.

This kind of clarifies that he was out there and working with his position group, but not out practicing.

Hopefully vet rest.

I miss the days of hoping our team was good enough to beat teams...instead of hoping our 2nd and 3rd string guys are good enough collectively to beat teams.

I gotta say that Milano disappearance is very troubling.  Considering he played okay and had a full week of rest, for him to show up on injury report 2 days as DNP leads to two thoughts:

 

1).  He hurt himself during the mini-bye, or

 

2). He has a serious enough injury that a week's rest hasn't helped.

 

 

I have officially given up on the silliness of saying 'this team is getting healthy" or "this team appears to be healthy".  This team loses one-two starters after every game and is lucky when it is only two.

Agreed.  And it's so frustrating too because I don't think anyone or anything is to blame...just crap luck.  Just feels like the season thus far has been snake bitten.  Obviously everything is still in front of the team and they control their own fate...but these injuries are becoming ridiculous.

And the most successful times in franchise history have been a passing offense. 

Our only season ending championship teams were 1964 and 1965.  Those teams were built around a stout defense. in 1964 they averaged 29 ppg and gave up 17.

In 1965 they only  averaged 22 ppg, but only gave up 16.  Saban traded Cookie to Denver before 1965 and the offense lost a gear.

1960’s football is a different sport than the later Super Bowl era.

 

We all know this.

Doesn’t look like Jordan Phillips is playing.

Part of the reason why Phillips was not carried over by his former team

How about 3) he hurt his knee during the Lions game in a way that wasn't observed and reported?  These guys get so much adrenaline going during the game that they do get hurt and don't really even feel it.  It isn't necessarily serious, but it may need more treatment.  Most of these guy's injuries aren't really healed by a week of rest, even when they're not too serious. 

 

We'll just have to see.

 

FWIW I mined the practice reports for previous weeks.

Bills have had 39 instances where a player was "DNP" 2 days in a row.

Outcomes:

Out 30

Q, inactive 1

Q, active but left game early 1

Q, active 2

(-), active 4

(-), inactive 1

 

It really comes down to what the practice status is on Friday.  29 of the 30 "out" designations DNP on Fri also.

Milano is one of the guys who previously DNP 2 days, practiced Friday, was questionable for the game, and played.

Jets starting RT rookie Max Mitchell placed on Non football injury list and is out for Sunday and the rest of the year. Hopefully nothing too significant.
