Unfortunately Bills running back Fred Jackson is out for the season with a broken fibula in his right leg. This is a huge blow to the Bills offense since he is having a career year. He was well on his to a Pro Bowl bid and was in the conversation for Most Valuable Player. Not only did the Buffalo News say he was in the MVP race, ESPN believed he was a candidate as well. Jackson was followed a lot by the media until his injury. He has been on a long incredible journey to make it where he is today and some proof is this feature which was done earlier this season. He has been making huge plays all year including this one. And this one. The last play helped the Bills defeat the Patriots earlier this year. Losing Jackson has hurt the Bills a lot and their offense has been struggling now that he is done for the year. He was definitely the Bills offensive MVP.
Another key loss to the offensive side was losing Bills starting center Eric Wood after hurting his knee. This is a huge loss because this forces the Bills to shift around their offensive lineman and have them play different positions than they are used too.
Key losses on the defensive side include linebacker Shawne Merriman and Defensive lineman Kyle Williams.Ever since Kyle Williams was put on the injured reserved, the defemse has not been able to stop the run that well and force turnovers. It is a huge loss because the Bills made a lot of big plays this season off of turnovers. Maybe next year the Bills can stay healthy. Lets just hope!!!
