Von Miller ACL- Out for Season

The defense failed with Hughes, and was clearly better with Miller. Hughes should not be part of the conversation. Different level of player, and there should be no disagreement about that. To insinuate that we should have kept Hughes instead of signing Miller is …. Not bright.

that’s not what I’m insinuating.  Not even close

Also this is clearly a sign that we need to outright ban the blue pants/white jerseys combo. 

This is my takeaway also

Frazier needs to study what Bengals DC Lou Ararumo is doing. Beat KC three straight times and I think they held Mahomes to something around 250 yards passing last week. 

 

One thing is they took Kelce away for the most part and stripped the ball from him on a key play down the stretch.

 

No catches in the first half, and just 56 yards in the second with a fumble.

 

Most teams just accept that Kelce is going to get his 100+ yards, but he is Mahomes safety blanket.

 

No matter who the QB is, you take away their top target that they lean on, they get very uncomfortable and make mistakes.

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

Probably as good as the CT scan I had that said appendix was caught early but when went in to remove found it was burst.  Sometimes the imaging lies

I noticed this too. What did the Bengals do schematically to take Kelce away so effectively? I’m not a film dude I’m a watch TV from my couch dude

That $120,000,000 contract isn’t looking all that great now

Probably assigned someone to cover him. I swear against the Bills and every other team Kelce runs around defenders like they are pylons.

Not sure either.

 

Having that tweener S/LB kind of player that has the skills to actually skate with Kelce 1:1 would be rare.

 

More likely they found ways to effectively double him and disrupt his timing and routes.

 

But yeah, would need someone who can break down that film. Either way, something Frazier's staff is sure to do.

Imaging is only as good as the actual cuts and whoever is reading the film. Appendix don’t burst, they don’t pop like a ballon. If the infection is contained within the appendix it’s a same-day operation and you can go home that day. If the infection spreads through the wall of the appendix and into the abdominal cavity it’s called a ruptured appendix but it’s not like a bomb went off in your abdomen and blew appendix parts all over. If the infection gets to the abdomen it can get real bad, so you need to be on IV antibiotics for a couple days. In your case, your rupture was probably caught early (happens often) and didn’t have enough time to inflame the surrounding tissue and show up on the CT. They probably saw a little puss leaking when they visualized your appendix.

 

Von’s injury wasn’t a complete tear so didn’t show up on MRI well. When they got in there and tugged on it, it probably looked like a skinny wet noodle and was very loose.

As much as I hate agreeing with Brady, he was right about that super Bowl.

 

The Philly defense made ONE PLAY all game. 

 

It was the offense that won the game for the Eagles by scoring lots of points. 

 

One more play than our defense made against KC in the playoffs, who then lost to Cinny after their D made a play in OT

Almost feels like this isn't our year...Still not giving up hope but damn this is frustrating. 

 

The AFC doesn't really have a dominant team which is encouraging. Everyone looks beatable. 

Like Von says, "Don't blink"!! Bills have the talent on DL to take care of business. Just hope Shaq Lawson gets most of the snaps. He's been playing lights out football

This is great to know there are so many doctors and orthopedic surgeons posting on this board !

I just want to know how we went from he’ll be back in a month playing with a brace to season ending ACL surgery. How did they get that so wrong?

Maybe it was the same doctor that gave Tyrod his shot

Big yikes, that massive contract was a gamble

It hasn't felt this "over" since the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
