Von Miller ACL- Out for Season

[MasterStrategist]

Sucks losing Von for the year...no doubt.  Be great if we could fully healthy, but it's football and teams lose key/superstar players to injury every season.  Some teams can overcome, while others can't. 

 

 

The Rams dealt with alot of injuries getting to the SB and eventually winning it all LY, just 1 example.

 

Collectively, this team has to keep playing their A-game and I'll take our chances against anyone, including Chiefs/Bengals.

This is probably a stupid question, but are some acl injuries worse than others, or are they basically all the same? 

Not dumb. There are different degrees of suck!

 

Maybe a real doctor can chime in but things like:

 

Full tear vs partial tear. If partial how much (Grade 1,2,3)

Did the tear include some of the bone the ligament connect to?

etc

 

EDIT

Grade 1

Grade 1 injuries include ACLs that have suffered mild damage, e.g., the ACL is mildly stretched but still provides adequate stability to the knee joint.

 

Grade 2

Grade 2 ACL injuries are rare and describe an ACL that is stretched and partially torn.

 

Grade 3

Grade 3 ACL tears happen when the ACL is torn completely in half and is no longer providing any stability to the knee joint.

 

Verified my understanding and quoted Johns Hopkins above

Site below shows a Grade 3 Tear to the same ACL he had a grade 3 tear in 2013..... oof

Man. Urgh. At least it's not josh 

[GunnerBill]

Love to say I'm shocked but IMO it was trending that way the moment it happened. 

 

If I have a criticism of this regime it is that they over PR manager injury news.

Really? What name did I call you?

 

You called him "Einstein", implying he was stupid.

Which is something we really try not to do around here.

In response to him calling me a "genius" which I'm assuming was used sarcastically...

 

So not sure I began the name calling

[noacls]

Meniscus injury may be more worrisome

The 'name calling', started with Aussie Joe.It was directed towards me, and I responded. It escalated, from there.

BTW, Why don't you mind your own Goddamn business?

Maybe you could both stop acting like 4th graders so the rest of us don't have to listen to the completely pointless bickering? 🤷‍♂️

By the end of today, I expect the TBD Medical Team, TBD General Manager Team and TBD Football Analyst Team to report on the following:

 

1.  Why was this tear not seen earlier?

2.  How long will Von Miller be out?

3.  What does this mean for the Bills' chances to land OBJ?

4.  How will this affect next year's draft/free agency/trades?

5.  What does this do to our Super Bowl chances?

6.  When was the last time Bruce Nolan banged EJ Manuel's mom?

 

Don't let me down.

Hope you're right, a lot of the Team seems to be buried in paperwork about future salary cap implications right now

Clearly a typo. I mean, the whole thing. What are the odds that those letters would pop up in that order? Disregard.

I've had several MRI's for Sports injuries,and was never misdiagnosed. I would think that a Medical staff for an NFL team, would have a sense of what was going on, sooner.

Mind my business? you understand how a message board works, yes? 
 

and no one cares about your anecdotal personal experience and you don’t seem to want to address the point you made that you were rightly corrected on so I guess we’ll leave it at that.

I backed off an hour ago.. and even wished him a nice day

[bigK14094]

Bean gambled and lost here.  Miller might miss all next season as well.  As players age, they get more brittle.  Oh well, worth a shot I guess.

[skibum]

I don't consider this a major deal for the Bills' SB prospects. Von was a nice bonus add to help seal the deal on a championship, and he made the big plays he was paid to make. But he was only playing half the snaps, and this is still a very deep defense without him. That, and I think his presence will still be felt on the field, in the form of all the things he taught the young guys who are still playing. Sure, it would be nice to have the option to play Von Miller on every down during the playoffs, but I think it will be alright. 

 

Did anyone think the Bills were not SB contenders before Von Miller came to town?

Buffalo just can't have nice things. The football/hockey Gods hate Buffalo. Hey, but at least the city has MIL championships.

This season has been absolutely brutal for injuries. The fact that we've won as much as we have shows you how good this team is. Unfortunately it'll probably be too much to overcome in terms of winning it all.

Two straight years.

 

The extremely-stitious nature of my personality hopes we avoid these turkey day games in the future.
