I would say that KO return to start the game will go down as a top-10 moment in Bills history, after the Damar week.

I know I'll never forget that one.

So Hines is a jet ski savant, but his “friends” kept him from the love of his life, and relegated him to get-gas duty only, a function well below his pay trade. 
 

I bet these friends are McDermott and Beane.

Glad we have finally got to the bottom of this mystery

I remember when we liked Hines.  But like most players we have turned on him.

“CSI: Bills Mafia” out in full force. 
 

You’ll get to the bottom of this!!!

Of all the crap that has gone wrong this year, his injury was the least of our concerns.

That may be the case…but it certainly was the start of the 2023 season woes

Hines is always a guy I liked in Indy. Was really looking forward to him being in this offense. Missed opportunity last year under Dorsey...I'm betting Joe Brady could have found a role for him.

 

That said, I'm pretty sure he's all but done here in Buffalo. The past two years we have seen first hand that guys coming off ACLs are pretty much a shell of themselves the following year. Even a young pup like Breece Hall has seen a lack of explosiveness this year. And yes, some of that is due to OL...but not all.

 

At his cap hit coming off this injury and in the last year of his contract he is, unfortunately, an easy call as a cap cut IMO.

no one comes back from ACL the next year... always takes two offseasons.  not sure why, but the pattern repeats over and over with almost no exceptions.  Von Miller will be back to his old self next year IMO, but not before

Agree, pretty much everyone not named Adrian Peterson has a down year right after an ACL. But that dude was a genetic freak of nature. Some never fully come back at all.

 

When we signed Von I figured last year and this year we would see "peak Von". And starting next season age would finally be an issue an dalow him a bit. The injury took what I believed would be his 2 good year window away.

All the news I've seen, not the uninformed speculation, is that Hines was acting in a responsible manner and was injured accidentally by someone crashing into him.  He sounds like a good guy, a person who fits into the Bills' culture.

 

As for going forward, the questions are whether he will have had time to heal by the start of next season, and whether he wants to play for the Bills.  There was a dispute between Hines and the team about his pay level, but that appears to have been resolved amicably. So I hope he's fully healed and at full speed by next summer.  It will be a big shame for him and for the team if he never gets back to full speed after the accident.

Right.  Maybe someday soon Sean will break his silence on 13 seconds.  THAT would be a headline.

I'd rather him break his silence on why his defense fails late 4th quarter .

And may have been reason Bills over paid shorty (Deonte Harty).

 

Beane watched "Get Shorty" too many times.

So, another non-contact ACL injury.

 

The NFL has to do something about this turf...

Or just remove every players acls.  Level playing field that way.
