That Aud Smell Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ragland to have surgery, minimum 6-8 weeks from what i read, it sounded like it'd either be 6-8 weeks, or a full-blown ACL recovery (+/- 9 months). But 7 weeks - that'd project to a Week 6 return, give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm not sure why I care about this team anymore I'm just hanging on now because I don't want to be labeled a band-wagoner if they ever manage to win anything. But it gets harder every year, especially when new sports keep popping up that I have more fun watching than football. I'm pretty happy with Premier League Soccer killing an hour of my Sunday morning over a Bills loss killing my entire Sunday afternoon.

LGR4GM Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Friend of mine has NFL redzone. It's great because I see all the important parts of the Bills game without having to waste time. Also the only reason I pay attention to the NFL anymore is Fantasy. Watching a 60minute game take 3 hours or more is just awful. Every single stoppage in play there is a commercial it feels like.

TrueBlueGED Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Troof. The Bills stinking has made the overall dullness of watching NFL football that much more glaring. On the flip side, perhaps the perpetual state of the Bills has helped sour you on the sport as a whole. How many Pats fans think the sport is bad to watch?

nfreeman Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 In fairness to the Bills, this was a typical, unforseeable training camp injury, right? Not an "everyone in the NFL but Rex and Whaley knows that Shaq is going to need shoulder surgery?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 In fairness to the Bills, this was a typical, unforseeable training camp injury, right? Not an "everyone in the NFL but Rex and Whaley knows that Shaq is going to need shoulder surgery?" Yes. I haven't seen too many people calling for Rex or Whaley's heads on this one. The only mention I've seen is if these injuries should guarantee them a free pass this season (I say absolutely not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that being discussed as well. I understand your sentiment, but I think it's bound to happen if the D under-performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) At Bills camp today on my BD, tight ends need work catching. Cardale has a long way to go. One good pass, one bad... , Spikes is a big guy. Oh line looks decent but hard to tell. Working on a lot of punt coverage today. Jeez Striker is small... Got VIP along sidelines through a friend. Rob Ryan is a walking heart attack waiting to happen. Hard to tell if they will be any good. Edited August 10, 2016 by North Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Even though you're kidding the safety spot could be a position of real worry. It's yet to be seen how Aaron Williams plays after a near career-ending injury I read this morning that Williams is out with a likely concussion after a scary collision with Dez Lewis. I hope they're both okay, or soon will be. The more I watch football (other sports too - but mostly the NFL), the more I am inclined to think that athletes have widely varying abilities to avoid injury or, at least, avoid competitive situations that place them at heightened risk of injury. Think of the running back about whom pundits say it's hard to get a clean shot on him. And I'm not saying that highly aggressive players, by definition, can't have a knack for avoiding injury-delivering situations, collisions, or hits. Something like a sixth sense - I'm not sure it can be coached. In that regard, I'm wondering if Aaron Williams is the sort of player who lacks a good measure of that "sixth sense." Maybe the fact that he's been converted to safety as a pro plays a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Per Josh Reed Source tells me that #Bills and QB Tyrod Taylor are very close to announcing contract extension. Announcement could come as soon as today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the fact that he's been converted to safety as a pro plays a role. I think some of these guys are just better built to avoid injury. We see guys get concussions from the smallest of hits, yet guys like Chris Neil and Rob Ray took much bigger hits and never seemed seriously dinged. I thin there is a physiological difference.

Brawndo Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Per Tim Graham I'm hearing upcoming Tyrod Taylor deal is not a bridge contract. Bills are all-in, maybe as long as six years (unsure on options). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a pretty big Tyrod supporter, and I'll withhold judgment until the terms and particulars are known...but this is at least a little scary.
