The Big Cat Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 If this is true then it sounds like a Grade 1 sprain, which means EJ could be back by the KC game. Don't go blowing smoke, bro. I can't handle the anticipation! Don't get my hopes up!
chris heff Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Don't go blowing smoke, bro. I can't handle the anticipation! Don't get my hopes up! I Googled it, so it was on the internet, which means it has to be true. http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/sport-injuries/knee-pain/lcl-sprain/rehabilitation-lateral-ligament-sprain
Bangarang Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Don't go blowing smoke, bro. I can't handle the anticipation! Don't get my hopes up! KC sounds like a real possibility at this point. 2 weeks of strength and rehab. 1 week of game planning and practice Edited October 15, 2013 by Bangarang
Buftex Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 If this is true then it sounds like a Grade 1 sprain, which means EJ could be back by the KC game. Gonna sound crazy, and we still don't know, but I swear, watching that Browns game, the way they showed EJ moving around after the injury, I really was sure he would be back the next week, if not in that game. I know that means little, but I also thought it was odd that they declared him out 4-8 weeks so abruptly. I have sprained a knee before (as well as ankles many times) and I am far from a well trained athlete (really far at this point!), and I realize there are varying degrees of sprains...but I can't remember one ever lasting a month or two...and I never had the luxury of spending day after day getting medical attention on the sprain. I realize it is silly to compare myself to an athlete, but I really had a hunch he would be back sooner than they were predicting. In Marrones' short tenure I am getting the feeling that he (or maybe he and the front office) are ones who assume the worst case scenario. Enjoying the Thaddeus Lewis show, but I wan the EJ Manuel project to get back on schedule asap!
The Big Cat Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 If they can steal one of these last two games before the midway point...and with Graham potentially out for the Saints game...

The Bills never said 4-8.
The Big Cat Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I think "they" was some NFL network guy's speculation... and the whole media ran with it. The Bills never said 4-8. I just combed through the twitter feeds of Chris Brown and the Buffalo Bills to prove you wrong...by golly, I think you're right. Wow. Just goes to show you what consistency in messaging will do. I've had 6-8 weeks ingrained in my mind this whole time! Of course, we all know what the national media narrative will be IF he comes back for KC: Originally slated to be out 6-8 weeks, EJ Manuel rushing back against a sack happy Chiefs defense, Neck Wad what do you think? Well the Bills are desperate, of course. And there's no question this is the wrong thing to do. They're not going to the playoffs this year, why risk the health of their up and coming quarterback? The prognosis was 6-8 weeks, and obviously Doug Marrone is starting to feel some heat there in Buffalo to keep his job. You have to question this decision by the Bills coaching staff, and if I'm EJ Manuel, I'm questioning whose interest they're really watching out for. Thanks, Neck Wad. We'll be back in a moment, and when we return, more analysis of our top story: Should the Falcons bring in Tebow to help right the ship? We say yes. Don't go anywhere.

That's about right - By the way not only did the media run with it, most Buf fans ran with it too . but hey we'll see. Maybe they'll be right still, I just doubt it.
YoloinOhio Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I was always thinking 3 on the short end, and expecting him back by then based on his commitment to being on the field. DeMarco Murray has the same injury just from this past Sunday and said he might play this week. I know there are different degrees of sprains, but I don't know why it would take that long (6-8).
Braedenstearns Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It said he begins rehabilitate today? Does anyone know how long that takes?
chris heff Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It said he begins rehabilitate today? Does anyone know how long that takes? I posted a link earlier. According to that site once rehab starts 3 to 4 weeks
Boatdrinks Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I think "they" was some NFL network guy's speculation... and the whole media ran with it. The Bills never said 4-8. Yes, I believe it was pure speculation, as Bills only said "a few weeks". I believe that d-bag Buscaglia was first to say 4-8, according to a "source" which was probably his college pal who's a PA or something. These media types always have to be first with the "scoop" whether it's entirely accurate or not.

Marrone's last presser I saw, yesterday i think, he indicated that they have been in a holding pattern all along until swelling came down so they could assess the damage then provide a timetable. He even mentioned that he'd heard there were a bunch of speculative timelines out there, but he expects he can actually provide a time table later this week after some rehab e v a l. Everything else put there appeared speculative based on the assumed injury.

Saint Doug Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Can't Kiko just play his hands on EJ's ankle and heal it?
5 Wide Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Yes, I believe it was pure speculation, as Bills only said "a few weeks". I believe that d-bag Buscaglia was first to say 4-8, according to a "source" which was probably his college pal who's a PA or something. These media types always have to be first with the "scoop" whether it's entirely accurate or not. Any reasoning behind your Buscaglia is a D-bag stance other than you speculating about his speculation? To me anyway, Buscaglia seems like the most respectable local reporter covering the Bills.

IDBillzFan Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 If they can steal one of these last two games before the midway point...and with Graham potentially out for the Saints game... Not to mention, if the officials let us stranglehold the NO defenders like they let NE* do, we have a real shot.
Gordio Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Agreed, I like Buscaglia. I will agree also. Joey B. is alright in my book. I like him.
OhIDunno Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Can't Kiko just play his hands on EJ's ankle and heal it? So you want Kiko to start at EJ's ankle and work his way up to the knee..... sounds a little freaky.
