That's how I feel watching the team stretch.  A coach blows a whistle, most of the guys get in one position pretending they are stretching.   Then don't really move for a minute or two(especially the lineman).  Then they blow the whistle and everyone gets up.   All stretched!  We've all seen Bills teams that had a lot more soft tissue injuries than McD's teams.   Remember Wade's teams that were ALWAYS nursing muscle injuries?  Rex teams had it bad too.  Sloppy coaches usually equate to more of them, IMO.   But what's the point of taking time out to stretch and then not really doing it?   Maybe they need to stretch their toes better.

 

Do you even stretch, bro?

Who would you rather have if having to choose one or the other between Trubisky and EJ Manuel? Lol, it's one of those hypothetical questions but one that I have a tough time answering

 
Honestly…Manuel.  He wasn’t good but he wasn’t broken like Trubisky is.  Trubisky can’t pull the trigger.

   Aging vets with injury histories becoming injured again?

   Yep, I’m the seer of seers😒

Just about every vet in the nfl has some kind of injury history. Injuries happen. It can happen to any player at any time. Even Josh Allen has injury history to his elbow and shoulder.

Tre, Milano, Miller, I dont think we can say they're overly cautious.  Something sure is wrong though, we could barely field a starting D against KC in the playoffs

 

Tre and Milano were hurt on one of the worst surfaces in the league - a lovely grass field covered with 3 inch plastic tray turf.  Miller at ford field.

 

Honestly highmarks a pretty lousy playing surface too.  2 more years til they unleash the pit!

 

Whenever i've ever played on a turf field, i find that my ankles roll a little, and my knees and hips are considerably more sore than on grass.

OK man, keep up the battle against these imaginary posters. 

 

We have no imaginary posters but with some of the posts I suspect they are AI bots.  I need to interact which such a bot before I can speak to a medical person and I just reply with nonsense (i.e Tua will be Superbowl MVP) until it just gives up and lets me talk to an actual person.

Even if they could rule players out why would you? Doing so would only help the Cardinals to game plan better. I think it’s fine to hope this is a silver lining but honestly I wouldn’t read too much into it.

It has to be his toe injury that is the issue right? He was always real solid player with Carolina and Washington with TERRIBLE QB play... Now he has a stud QB and he suddenly cant do anything? 

[bills742]

I don't remember, what was being said about his play at camp before the injury? 

[LabattBlue]

They better hope Brady finds a way to get him involved. He has a 9mil cap hit in 2025.

He's been so bad (in his rare opportunities).  Very disappointed with his play.  Thought he was supposed to be a dynamic playmaker?  He's done nothing at all.

It’s crazy I don’t understand at all. He was very solid with Carolina and Washington 

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

I mean lets be real, all of those guys are JAGs. At least we don't see Allen on there.

[zow2]

How the hell can someone like Tyrell Shavers not produce more than Samuel or Hollins?  seems impossible

So far a nightmare contract. Stop throwing the ball backwards to him and get his ass downfield. And I'm not talking fly routes but mid level stuff.

I would hope that the Bills wouldn’t be risking a massive fine or loss of draft picks for failing to disclose an injury on injury report.  Unlikely as they have been reporting Josh finger everyday even though he hasn’t missed a snap in practice or games.

He could be playing thru toe injury. If he’s playing you don’t have to fully disclose the injury. I just don’t understand the lack of involvement. He’s a good player he’s him

 I’m sure Andy Isabella can do what Samuel is doing… for a fraction of the cost. And Josh trusts Isabella. This is not rocket science.

 

And Knox is getting top dollar. Why? Paying scrubs top dollar is the problem here.

 

Mismanagement of key assets.
