well, it only took 3 games, and bucky - aka MrGlass II - is out with an injury and is missing the next bomber game.
bomber fans, get used to jyles getting the start, cuz this is just the begining of buck missing games due to injury.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Paul LaPolice revealed Sunday that No. 1 quarterback Buck Pierce has a sprained right knee and will miss Saturday's game against the Edmonton Eskimos.
Jyles, 27, will make his second career start in Pierce's place against his former team.
LaPolice said Pierce will be evaluated further after the game against the Eskimos, meaning he could be out longer than one week.
Pierce suffered the injury in the third quarter of Winnipeg's 28-7 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
some guys are just incapable of EVER playing a full 18-game season without missing games due to injury...buck is one of them.
i WISH this wasn't the case, cuz buck is a good QB and fun to watch, but i also wish i had a few million dollars in the bank, too....neither will happen.
Buck Pierce ought get used to being a dependable backup, though despite his natural tough demeanor with such fragility I would not put him in on second or third and short for sure either.
Exactly. Nobody wants Buck to be injured. If you seriously wish injury on him or any other player, you are not someone I want to know. But the fact remains that the man has been a walking injury clinic the past few years and hasn’t been able to play three full games this season without getting sidelined again. Given Buck’s injury history, this shouldn’t really be a surprise.
Who knows, maybe Buck misses 1 or 2 games because of this injury but then comes back and plays the rest of the season.
That would be respectable in my books :thup:
Might be minor but it's somewhat par for the course with Mr. Bucky. Seems to always be dinged up, be it a shoulder issue, concussions, or now the knee. The good news is that the Bombers have a respectable backup, I thought Jyles looked good last week.
Haha.. well sounds like we should be able to make some cash of the Lions now. I'm leaning against the Lions from here on... http://contests.covers.com/sportscontes ... rtid=3&t=0
That’s the nature of the beast, defensive lineman are 300 lb’s, and sometimes they sack or hit the QB. Every QB in this league takes a shot like that every game or two.
Thank u. This is a knee sprain from a twisting trauma. Football is a contact sport and appendages sometimes twist in a way they were not meant to when u get tackled. This has nothing to do with a person being injury prone. Most player in this league or the NFL would have sprained their knee on a similar tackle. Sheesh.
Wowee…you lobbed that one up there. Good thing I am a nice person at heart. In my younger days I might have responded with something that would have gotten my pee-pee slapped by a mod.
