SCBills Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) There was one attempted tackle from Milano that was absolutely brutal against NE. He didn’t even attempt to wrap up... just threw his shoulder at the guy. He’s clearly not healthy enough to play, and I’m assuming just toughed it out for a few plays, given the importance of the NE game. I’d be shocked if he plays next week against another NFC opponent, with the bye week after. Edited November 6, 2020 by SCBills 1
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 The problem isn't as much that he is injured, that is bad enough. The real problem is we have no answer for his injury. It is literally yardage vampire time for opposing offenses. Easy Money. Get Out of Jail Free card. Take What You Want But Eat What You Take. ...it's just so much BS. It's not just that I don't see us winning this weekend, it is honestly I don't know how we can win. This sucks. 1

HappyDays Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Just sit him until after the bye week. We'll need him healthy in the playoffs. 2

The way we win is getting Brown back on track and having a potent offense once again. Our defense has been absolute trash all year with, and without him. On the brightside, Seattle and Arizona don’t have monster tight ends, so I’d rather our DL get its ish together and have Hyde/Poyer regain their synergy this week and next. 1

Has he missed 30 games from a pec strain? Frankly, I'm getting tired of our starting LB corps continuity being held hostage by Matt Milano's availability. I don't want him back.

What are we doing? Well, whatever it is, it has to result in 35 or more points. Yes, Brown back on line and not only 300 yards passing, but more importantly 3-4 tds from Josh. Is Brown up to full speed? Unlikely...I wish he was, though. 1
Kwai San Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Sucks that Milano is out.....I'm more worried about Morse at this point. The guy is using up hi concussion lives real quick. One of these times he won't be able to come back.....

RichRiderBills Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I wish they would let Matekavich get in the rotation. He got regular LB time in Pitt in a better spread of LBs. Would like to see what he can do.

jkeerie Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 10 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: I think they saw he was not as effective as they need him to be while trying to play through the injury and as he wasn’t playing that many snaps anyway it made sense to let him rest it. Don’t think there is more to it - Milano himself said it’s not torn all the way through but it’s still a strain and he’s injured. IR would make sense Rewatch the Pats game. He missed a lot of tackles because he couldn't reach out or extend his upper body. You are exactly right.
TigerJ Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Not shocking considering his very limited snap count last week. He was a non-participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Seattle may be without Greg Olsen, their starting tight end. Backup Will Dissly is a solid blocker, and a good receiver, but he's not real fast, and he's no Greg Olsen. That may make the loss of Milano a little easier to take. Still, Buffalo needs to try and get Milano healthy and get Darron Lee up to speed ASAP.

Kwai, I though I read a couple of years ago that, yes, of course you don't want a number of concussions, but that it is not the number of concussions as much as it is not getting rushed back. Side note, this was interesting pertaining hits to the head and not concussions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/01/18/a-new-study-shows-that-hits-to-the-head-not-concussions-cause-cte/ "Well, duh, but still they are always going to be hitting their heads." Yeah, the thing is I still think they can change this in the game on how they approach blocking...face and shoulders first.

McBean Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Stay calm. We have Darron Lee & Daryl Worley. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 26 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Hasn’t been playing a lot of snaps but that still sucks Not unexpected, but CRAP. I was worried when Milano took fewer snaps vs. NE than vs. Jets and when he didn't show up at least in a red jersey on Weds. Did they say anything about whether he was reinjured? I hate to say it but I wish they'd IR him. I believe with the bye, that would give him 4 weeks and they might get him back in decent shape for the last 4 games of the season.
Greg S Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 It sucks that he can't get healthy and play but the Bills weren't winning this game with their defense anyway. The offense will have to win a shootout with or without Milano out there.
