Von Miller to IR

[BigdaddyinOrlando]

Well at least this game will count as one of the four he misses as unfortunately NFL does t work like Baseball and have retroactive lists for injuries. Hopefully he’s back for Cincinnati and good to go!

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

 

Think that is very possible.

[Southern_Bills]

Probably the best decision in the long run. Not what I wanted to hear though lol.

[Riverboat Ritchie]

Long run probably makes sense and gives us Roster spot. Really stinks though it is this stretch of games.  Unreal the injuries this year. Kinda like the end of 92 year.

Yep- just get to the playoffs somehow and take him off of the shelf for the tournament

Rousseau and Ed Oliver need to step up and dominate consistently in Von's absence.

If that happens it will be the best news all year. Their confidence should be up as they have had success this with with Von mentoring them.

 

Hopefully Von still travels with the team for sideline support.

This reeks of McDermott wanting to play a doctor on tv again .  True medical professionals and experts in this particular field say no major damage though after season surgical procedure is recommended. Von wasn’t even wearing a walking boot post game. But Mother Hen Sean is truly attempting to sabotage the season with being  ridiculous overly cautious. Has there been a ‘medical decision’ he’s made that hasn’t hurt the team by unnecessary player removal? 3 starters out last week that nearly and probably should have torpedoed a win. ALL we’re back for the 1st full practice after the game. What does this say for where the blame lies?

So much for Miller's proclamation he will play against the Jets!

He was talking about the AFC Championship game..😉

[eball]

Hate to not have him vs. the Fish but this is a good overall scenario...he's not trying to rush back and can let that knee heal as much as possible before the playoff push.

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Unbelievable the luck this team has 

[transplantbillsfan]

I like it as long as he comes back.

 

Soooo... does that mean the 4 games he has to miss are Patriots, Jets, Phins and Bears?  Means he could potentially come back for the MNF game in Cincy against the Bengals, right?

[par73]

Without Miller, DE is a big weakness. Will have to dial up more blitzes to get any pressure.

I agree. People are gonna over react, but I bet our pass rush is still solid 

Our pass rush hasn't been great as of late even with Von.  Frazier is having to blitz more to get good pressure lately, which I'm glad he realizes since letting meh QBs pick our weak secondary apart has become beyond frustrating.

Umm, yeah, probably because Rousseau has been out along with Epenesa?  Mike Love was playing in Detroit, for crying out loud!

Our pass rush struggles have been going on for many more games than just since those 2 were injured.  And Espensa?  Really?

Awe crap

YESSSSS

 

If he comes back after 4 games, GREAT. If he comes back at full health for the playoffs, GREAT. Otherwise... grrrrrr.

[Fleezoid]

I'm going to watch the game tonight. 

 

Then, I'm going to sit in an empty room and stare at a blank wall....

 

.....Until I feel better. 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

He probably feels good and could have been back if he really pushed it. The consistent moves by McDermott has been to keep the team healthy for January. 

 

I'd rather have Von in the playoffs with a wild card spot than in the 2nd seed without him
