15 Players on IR,hmmmmm..... what if they weren't?

[blackonyx89]

Let's cut the list down to about five that we REALLY needed like Posluzny,and 4 more guys. The Bills have a 7-7 record with a depleted roster,how many games they might have won if they had 85-90% healthy? I'd say 10-6. What's your prognosis?

[G. Host]

I think Poz, Simpson & Thomas could have made the difference in winning another game; Denny if he had not been injured earlier in season too but latest IR placement does not make a big difference.

Everyone has injuries. More for some than others. This year has been especially bad.

[yordad]

I think camp cuts are going to be extra hard next year. 10 or more picks, the 53 we have now, the returning 15, the practice squad, and whoever else. We should have a good quality, deep team.

[LtFinFan66]

until next years injuries kick in of course. It's the nature of the beast

[feelthepain]

Mostly backups at best!

they would be 7-7....they could have beaten Dallas and Denver without them...they didn't. Otherwise, I don't see them changing the outcome of any game.

A number of the 53 will not be returning to camp.

Thats a very good problem to have and I love having that type of problem to deal with.

Thanks for that wonderful insight.

I'm just glad not all Dolphin fans are classless.

how many starters on that 1-13 team could start on other teams....and you can probably name them on less than 2 fingers...

[LtFinFan66]

It might take a couple more than 2 fingers

[Ebenezer]

It might take a couple more than 2 fingers
one hand?

[LtFinFan66]

Probably....since our IR list is rather large as well

Nor will some on IR and the PS. A lot of these guys were signed simply to occupy roster spots due to injuries. A number of them are not NFL caliber players.

[ddaryl]

I just want to know what the hell went wrong in our conditioning program. This many injuries IMO is a reflection of the training staff.

[MikeInRoch]

Yeah, because lifting more weights will prevent things like broken arms...

:rofl:

Add Porters 6 friends and he'd still be a back up here. BTw, those defenders on that list got owned by a rookie.

A number of them are not NFL caliber players.A lot of the players brought to camp aren't quality NFL players, but clearly most of the people you speak of are on the team. That by definition makes them NFL caliber. If they were all quality, we would only invite 53 and make zero cuts. The biggest reason some of these guys wouldn't come back, is if they feel they have a better chance of making it elsewhere. And, with our track record of keeping a few no-named guys, I don't think they are going far. I think they will try there luck here.

A number of the 53 will not be returning to camp.I'm not sure, but I believe Host was referring to Free agent departure. We have mostly no-named free agents that will likely stick around. A few may get offers elsewhere (maybe Hargrove), but I don't think many will. Either way, you have a point, but I think your point may be small. No offense.
