NoSaint Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I am 99% certain and imagine NoSaint (and dude you need an avatar) will respond first, especially since I am responding to his post to get his attention... We can PUP him right? He was injured outside of a OTA or team function prior to the season beginning and therefore can be PUP'd? Yea - as long as a guy hasn't dressed for camp I believe you are good to. That said, if it's an ACL were only 7 months from the Super Bowl at this point, yet alone regular season play. We will see (And I meant to put the one you sent up but always remember when on my phone)
Jamie Nails Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 We are a complete liability on 3rd downs yet again
Bills Fan in KS Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 This sucks! But will be aight. Young talent to step in.

Big Turk Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 is there some real confirmation of what the injury is yet? could it still be something less devastating than an ACL? Can we hold out some hope? Prob has to wait a few days for swelling to go down before doing MRI to confirm...expecting a torn ACL apparently...not good, done for the year...
Big Turk Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Sure, no one major was lost for a whole season, but we sustained plenty of injuries that affected the outcome of our season. I was talking about all the other teams having a rash of non contact mainly ACL injuries where the player is out for the year...
Big Blitz Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 He'll be back for the playoff run.. Im not going to lose sleep over this. EVERY team deals with significant injuries. This was inevitable. You just hope not too many go down. Oh...elite QBs cover for this problem. Here's to you EJ. You better figure it out.
NoSaint Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 We are a complete liability on 3rd downs yet again Lawson is available in packages. Heck, a surprise contributor might even be bradham. This would be the spot where having a one dimensional thumper at MLB might hurt a little extra though. Was a little antsy about this situation going into the season but truly we shouldn't be much if any worse off than last year at the position.
LB3 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Searcy just found more time on the field in more 3 safety packages.
Gugny Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Newsflash. The Bills defense sucked before Kiko. The Bills defense sucked with Kiko. Why is this such a !@#$ing travesty???

Obviously, we all just wanted to see it better.
dgr81 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 @AdamSchefter 40s Bills LB Kiko Alonso tore his ACL and is expected to miss season, per source. It’s considered a seven- to nine-month recovery. Blow for BUF.
Punch Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 He's a PED suspension waiting to happen. He overpursues consistently. He is undisciplined and all over the field. He was a starter on a monumentally horrid defense. He had 2 good games ... all season ... and people want him in Canton. This is not a big deal. Refute my bullet points. You can't. No one can. He was good for a very small portion of the season, as part of a very crappy defense. Everything I wrote is factual. -A "PED suspension waiting to happen" is factual? -He did overpursue at times but it wasn't often enough to be considered epidemic. He was a rookie playing inside when his natural position is outside. Occasionally misreading gaps is understandable. -As with the majority of your subjective opinions (not facts) the burden of proof is on you to show that Alonso was "undisciplined and all over the field". I don't think anyone else that watched the Bills comes away with these conclusions. -The Bills defense was bad in a variety of ways, but they finished 9th in yds allowed and were 2nd in sacks and takeaways--- even if they were terrible against the run, the 2013 Bills defense cannot possibly be considered "monumentally horrid". -People love him because he was outstanding for a rookie LB. "2 good games"? Nonsensical hyperbole. Alonso wasn't perfect and no one claims that he was--- fans, coaches, broadcast analysts and journalists everywhere were excited to see Kiko grow his sophomore season in his natural position and surrounded by an improved defensive cast. You chose to go a different route for no other reason than so everyone would notice you. Congratulations on your success. Now we can go back to ignoring you.
NoSaint Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Figured it out on the phone for ya - better? (And thanks)
