My wife has developed an interest in football this year.

At one point in the second half she asked me if the Bills would be more careful when tackling Mike White if they knew his ribs were hurt. 

She may lack killer instinct.....

 

 

The woman should be sainted for her kindness and for putting up with you

i heard him in an interview today, and he said he was fine.  he felt the typical monday bruises, but he said he picked his kid up from the crib, wrestled with them, etc.  that's impressive.

If he were in Buffalo, saying "he's fine" would guarantee he's about to miss at least a couple weeks.

 

You never want to hear those words from our players.

Players get old.  When Jim Kelly was Flacco's age he was retired.  

 

Kelly was still performing at reasonably good level in 1996 but obviously had fallen off from his best. He was much slower and inaccurate in that last season but still far superior to Flacco. I guess what it comes down to it for me is that I respected Kelly for walking away from the game after the injury in that playoff loss. (I was actually at that game and my heart sank at that moment). Kelly knew he was done and wouldnt accept being a mediocre backup to anyone (let alone Todd Collins) whereas Flacco quite happily accepts the paycheque. Who knows maybe Flacco enjoys being a mentor?

White apparently has a broken rib.

Great news for the Lions, who are still looking to make the playoffs.   The Lions have a potent offense, so they should be able to score some despite the Jests' good D.   I doubt that the Jests under Wilson can outscore them.

This scenario eerily similar to wk 3 Tua. Every person watching Bills\Jets thought he had a rib. locker and ambulance …. Nah, “ it’s only a flesh wound”

Brain trauma and a rib injury are not at all similar.

You're right.

 

Everyone could see tua was concussed.

 

Only Superman could use his x-ray vision to see white had broken ribs.

Not what I meant. One you can play through, the other you shouldn't.

So wait a minute. He was fine to play a week ago, but he isn't now?

The x-rays were inconclusive.  Likely because White looked like this.

How much does it suck to be Flacco right now?  Oh hey buddy, you can come in and get hammered on if one of these guys goes down, but you definitely aren’t going to start a game for us.

So he was fine to continue playing but he cant be medically cleared to play next week due to rib injuries from previous game. He never should have been put back in

In the AFC East they are.

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

I think he probably has a rib fracture that didn’t show up on the X-ray during the game

So... What if we're playing the chiefs again for our playoff life and Josh gets banged up. Not a head injury but something he "can play through" like those mikewhite ribs.

 

The Bills probably let him back in the game to get the W. And the fans are fine with it.

 

Sometimes I think people lose perspective that these guys are playing for their career. Someone like Mike white might not get other chances, and this is his time to provide for his future/family. These dudes are willing to risk it for the (proverbial) biscuit and it's not like it's just sports. There are millions every day that go to their construction jobs or something else physical- these people are literally trading in their bodies to support their families.

 

And now Mike white is out this Sunday. What if Wilson lights it up and takes back the job? White made himself some money and would probably get a chance to at least compete on another team, a chance he may not have gotten had he not played through the pain in Buffalo. 

 

Sacrifice is life. And I gained so much respect for Mike White on Sunday. Heart. Will. Determination. That's what it takes. Kudos to the kid for his mental and physical toughness.

I agree with all this.

 

That’s why it’s the job of the coach/staff/NFL to protect players from themselves

 

Fish McD had the biggest fail putting Tua back in with a big assist from the NFL. That was outright disgusting.

 

Saleh failed allowing White to go back in. After that Milano hit he should have stayed on the bench. 2 coaches more concerned with W’s than their player’s health

Because the dude is a baller. As Romo

also pointed out, he is playing for his career every week. Last thing he can afford is to be knocked out and have Wilson get his job back. 

That’s it.  He has a unique opportunity to play his win into being the starter and possibly compete next training camp for the job.  His teammates love him and he created even more endearment by his peers when he kept grueling it out as our guys were just legally teeing off on him.

 

Saleh learned his QB in White demonstrated leadership and toughness so sorely lacking by Wilson who will be shown the door most likely after the season.  The Jets may draft or look for an experienced QB is on the market, but White could end up as the real deal.

 

I have to say I watched that game and gained a tremendous amount of respect for him.  Jets fans should be happy for him coming back.
