Oh FFS we have the worst injury luck this season.

 

Worse than losing your starting QB, then your backup QB?

Is there anyone out there who is available that Beane can bring in? It would be nice if the Texans released him, but we can't count on that

Me trying to get excited for the Jets game and the rest of the season and to pretend like this injury doesn't massively impact the Bills' chances of winning the Super Bowl:

It doesn’t MASSIVELY impact the Bills chances. There is only one guy that does that …and Diggs.
 

Let’s hope the players and staff get on with things better that than glass fan base on this forum.

Now would be a great time for the Texans to release Hughes… 

 

Even if they did there is no guarantee Hughes would make it to Buffalo.  He would have to go through waivers. The Rams could claim him for instance.  Any team could.

How bad does this ***** their cap for the next couple years?

I respectfully disagree.

Signing him was a good move, it just didn't work out.  They really have to start spending the resources on offense though.

Come on man.  Obviously losing your QBs is bad.  You dont see the injuries we have this season.  Have we even played one game with all of our defense this year?  No.  Our injuries have been horrible this season.

The #2 ranked offense?

What happened to the MRI showing it wasn’t his ACL?!?

doc sliced open a little too deep

So frustrating, especially based on initial prognosis. Must remember, they came within 13 seconds of beating KC last year and getting to the Championship game without him. Pretty empty feeling now, though.

Jfc. So the next time we see Von will likely be 2024. He'll be 35 yo coming of an ACL injury and being out of football for a year+. 

 

Absolutely brutal.

Always risk of injury with these contracts . Sucks but what can you do

why do you keep saying that Trey White is hobbled?

Because that is what fits the narrative he is trolling with.

Has Beane actually said that?

 

If so, I’m not sure I really understand that thinking. You could say the same about any big money contract - if that player gets injured it leaves a big hole in your lineup. That’s not a reason to not sign good players in free agency. It’s not like free agents are more prone to injury than guys you draft/develop + sign to big money…

 

 

 

Also, I really don’t get all the “Von’s injury suddenly makes this a bad contract” takes in this thread. It was an injury. They happen in football all the time. It doesn’t suddenly make the Von signing a bad contract. The Bills needed a true finisher on the D line. They went and signed one of the best. 
 

Does the injury leave a big hole in the lineup? Yes. But doesn’t that kind of help prove it was a good signing?

While I I agree with most of your post, there were plenty of folks like me who thought giving that money to that age player was a massive risk… not because of injury, butfor me was age and probability of declining play in the next couple of years.

If I recall correctly, the 49ers have had their share of injuries this year. I don't think we win that competition.

Yes, absolutely.  Lean into your strength.  Plus offensive production is generally more consistent year to year.

In the draft/FA we need OL, DL, WR, S.

Since Beane is likely reading this...

 

Ford is supposedly healthy - While Ford has only appeared in 18 games since the start of 2019, he's logged 9.5 sacks and 24 quarterback pressures in those games.
