Dan Gross Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Though the title of the article says "out," nothing but speculation (due to Spikes not practicing) says his official status. Current injury report (wouldn't consider it official until the 4:00pm deadline) lists him as "Questionable," not out. Likely out? Yeah, probably. Officially out? No.

Current injury report (wouldn't consider it official until the 4:00pm deadline) lists him as "Questionable," not out. Likely out? Yeah, probably. Officially out? No. 771844[/snapback] I read that article earlier and decided not to post it as the title is misleading. Like you said, no where in the article does it actually states Spikes is out, it's pure speculation. Edit: I see they actually update the article from their earlier errors.
Drewgetz Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Horray for us. This really blows sheep. Talk about no luck. 2 divisionals on the road to start, 5 rookies on the defense. Jesus Christ, what's a Bills fan got to do to catch a break? 771784[/snapback] We need to have an owner that doesn't stand up for his team or their fans...
Buffalo Baumer Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Well it looks like Spikes is going to be out for 3-4 weeks since he just said on the radio that his injury was just like Troy's so he should be on IR as well.
smokinandjokin Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Can't TKO just trot out there for the first play, demolish Culpepper and force a fumble, which the Bills pick up for a TD? Then he can take the rest of the game off again. Hell, we could do that for all 16 games. Takeo Spikes 2006 Stat line: Games- 16 Plays- 16 Sacks- 16 Forced Fumbles- 16 First AFC Defensive Player of the year to appear in less than 3% of his team's defensive plays.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 But I mean....will we ever be completly sure? Every though TKO would be good to go week 1. 771829[/snapback] I didn't say COMPLETELY sure. That's picking nits, I know...but you can't ever be completely sure. Reasonably sure, on the other hand... Hell, let's just define it as "Sure enough that, if he pulls his hamstring again, the coaches will tell themselves 'Well, we rested him long enough, these things just happen' rather than 'sh--, we shouldn't have been so worried about starting five rookies on defense that we rushed him back.'"

GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 From the article: "Linebacker Takeo Spikes, who also injured his hamstring in the game on the same series, called the move baffling and said it signals that the coaches are making this a rebuilding season, much to his dismay." Maybe I'm reading too much into this (and lord knows I hope I am), but am I the only one bothered by the "said it signals that the coaches are making this a rebuilding season, much to his dismay" part? I think we all know in the back of our heads this is likely a rebuilding year for the Bills, but as they showed Sunday they can still be competitive and make this an entertaining, .500 year. Does this move spark a "mutiny" of sorts? Are players tossing in the towel already? I'm never one to panic about stuff like this (these guys are professionals, competitors, etc.)... ... but for some reason that comment by the writer (no direct quote from Spikes provided) just doesn't sit with me right.

Gotta feeling TKO feeling sorry for himself that he left the Bengals. Crimminay, did he not notice that the D played better with Troy off the field????? Does he really not think letting TV go to IR was a way for them to let TV save face?
ganesh Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Just checked. Still don't miss Jeff Posey. 771777[/snapback] How did Posey play in Greg Williams defense on Monday Night ? Just curious. NFL stats show him having 1 tackle for the game.
Dan Gross Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I was just about to post that. Gotta feeling TKO feeling sorry for himself that he left the Bengals. Crimminay, did he not notice that the D played better with Troy off the field????? Does he really not think letting TV go to IR was a way for them to let TV save face? 772008[/snapback] Chris Brown makes a point on his blog. Do you really expect the Bills to play this weekend with 3 safeties? If not, who do you cut? With TV looking more long-term of an injury, putting him on IR gives the team an opportunity to put another healthy safety on the squad. Considering the number of edits made to that article (including the now-deleted "Spikes Out" that started this thread), I'm really prone to wonder what the exact quote was that Spikes gave.... Edit: Understanding now that it is what Spikes said, you also have to understand the context, based on the fact he learned about it just before stepping up to the podium...
eball Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 These whiny veterans can kiss my ass. I love the way TKO plays, but he needs to shut his mouth and mind his business. I'm sure the rookies love hearing that because the "great" Troy Vincent is not in the lineup, they have no chance to win and are only playing for next season.

Dan Gross Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Really, I agree ! The article said Spikes is listed as day to day ! Not out ! 772027[/snapback] It said "Out" at the time that the link was posted. The article has been through several edits today...
Alaska Darin Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 How did Posey play in Greg Williams defense on Monday Night ? Just curious.NFL stats show him having 1 tackle for the game. 772012[/snapback] Invisible. I don't think he was in for a third of the snaps. They've got some nasty backers, too. Marshall is an animal.
Matt in KC Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 How did Posey play in Greg Williams defense on Monday Night ? Just curious.NFL stats show him having 1 tackle for the game. 772012[/snapback] I was at the game. I was watching Posey and don't think he was in for any plays on defense. He was in on a handful of kickoffs that I noticed. I did see him standing all alone on the sidlines at the start of the game, however. And, when the player was hurt on the kickoff early on (opening kickoff?) he was one of the only players who went on the field to talk to him (looking for a friend?). On the other side of the ball, I was impressed with Winfield and Pat Wiliams, who were in for every defensive play (Pat minus one series in the 3rd quarter). When I watched Posey in preseason, he looked just okay with the DC 2nd-string team.
seq004 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Well, my quess is that Takeo wont play and he shouldn't. He's to important to this defense to play and make it worse. He'll be back for the home opener. As far as his comments go the reporter was trying to get him to agree that it's turning into a rebuilding year but the way I took it was that Takeo didn't want to admit it was a rebuilding year because he's a proud player and wants to win now and if you say the word "Rebuilding" that means throwing in the towel and no playoffs. Taken out of contents.
generaLee83 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I'm sure I"m missing it, so sorry if this is a double post. Spikes out 771754[/snapback] Umm, if by "out" you mean "day to day" as it says in the article I get ya. Vincent is done, Spikes is day to day.
