[LEBills]

As long as he is back for the playoffs that is all that matters. Get well Von

Kind of saw this coming since he was home playing modern warfare today on twitch instead of traveling with the team. 

 

Yes I know he doesn't have to travel but figured he would even if not playing. 

What does this mean?

Bills super conservative with injuries; no different here. Was hoping but not expecting any different. 

 

I don't think this is that. I think a lateral miniscus tear could be season ending.

 

2 weeks was always super ambitious and laced with jeopardy IMO.

IMO While Von has made some plays, I expected much more.  
 

I guess the determination of his worth will be seen come playoff time…or a game at the end of the season, if the #1 seed is yet to be decided. 

He has been pretty damn impressive but he isn't the player he was 3-4 years ago. I was hopeful we had that. But I also think he's on a pitch count for impact.

Von was signed for the 8-10 plays he makes in the playoffs, 2-3 of them are complete and utter game changers.

 

Rest Von- the boys have got this, see you when it matters most

 

👍

You're not going to get killed blitzing Jones, White, Tua, or Fields so they should be able to dial up pressures.  It's Mahomes, Burrow, and Jackson I'm more worried about.  Let's hope he's good to go for the playoffs.

He can come back in 4 games right? Not the end of the world

Correct, and they did it today, to make sure this was one of the 4.  He is here to help us win playoff games, so I would rather he take the time to let it get closer to 100% than it is now.

Hmmm … didn’t we make the playoffs before he got here

[Airseven]

Let’s cut to the silly podcast and get some “valid sourcing” for Von’s reaction! 🤣

You think maybe they saw the swelling hadn’t gone down as much as they’d hoped? 

[Baba Booey]

Get healthy for the playoff run.

Unfortunately, Hyde is a bigger loss than Miller.

Wow!....

 

Apparently Von was being optimistic on his podcast.

 

Hopefully he'll be back for the playoffs. And hopefully he's a better source on OBJ than he is his own injury. 😬

 

Get well soon.

 

 

 

I did NOT see that coming with the way the Bills seem to fight like hell to avoid IR'ing guys who can't contribute for 3 weeks and are hampered in the 4th.

I agree, and I think players appreciate that in the long run. They need to protect the players from their own competitive nature sometimes.

[Logic]

I always kind of felt like the "back by the Jets game" timeline seemed really optimistic. I don't blame Von at all for being optimistic. That's a good mindset to have. I just think it's really asking a lot for an injury like that to only cause two games missed.

In any case, I really, really thought Von had torn his ACL. The fact that he didn't, and that he seems more likely than not to be available for the playoffs, is a huge plus. 

Time for the young pups to step up.

As a guy who had the same injury 3 times and had it scoped all 3 this is something he can most certainly come back from. I am no Von Miller by any means but tore mine sophomore year in the second to last reg season game. Hurt like hell but once swelling went down I taped my leg in a basic cast before every game (was a center) and played through to the playoffs, roughly 4 games more. Got it cleaned and was right as rain after a month.

 

The next 2 times I was playing softball and flag football....real hero stuff. Know your limits in your 30s. 

 

Granted this guy is a different beast and with the help of a great recovery team he will be brand new.   

 

I'm assuming they got a second MRI now that it's been a week and the swelling is presumably down.  IR means he'll miss at least 4 games, so do you think they might have decided to do a clean-up procedure now?

 

It would make sense if they 2nd MRI showed that probably he wouldn't be able to play on the tear (what I hear is some tears you can play on, some you can't)

 

Where's @Mr. WEO he probably knows about this stuff?

I agree.  If he's hurt, he's hurt.  Rest and heal up - get surgery if needed.  But damn, while I'm obviously not ready to completely write off this season as a wash, it's starting to have that feel that it's just not meant to be.  Feels like the team is just bandaged together at this point.

I hear ya.  I have the same feeling- feels like it’s just not meant to be……unless the offense can figured things out and Rousseau can return and dominate. 
 

There’s a melancholy feeling in the air.  We went from top dog, talk of the league 24/7 to a team that has clearly regressed in the last 4.5 games.  The offense has been turning the ball over and our god-like QB has looked mortal.  Once the best D in the league giving up 14 ppg hasn’t given up less than 20 in the last 4.  
 

That said, I can’t help but think that this melancholy feeling is going to morph into jubilance over the next few weeks with the potential to turn into something really special.  We have the right QB for the job.  I feel we have the right HC for the job.  I think the GM did his job and will continue to work.  Now we just need the OC to get with the program and flip the switch. Leslie needs to dial up some creativity and confusion.  

I feel the opening day roster minus Micah Hyde is good enough to win the SB.  It’s possible that we’ll have that roster come the playoffs.  We just need avoid more critical injuries.
