You don’t want the “Rookie Wall” coming on game one of the playoffs. It’s the opposite of a vets day off. I’m good here.

Let us hope he at least starts getting calls like Brady, without all the whining.

I think we should reconsider the forward pass. The game hasn’t been the same since they started allowing the forward pass. .

What will it take to earn his way back into your good graces, Mr Redemption? 😋 I don’t know everything that happened on the sidelines and field during the “13 seconds”, but I’m not going to let it eat at me. It happened, it was unfortunate and it’s over. The details will never be known, and that’s fine. We have a very talented and successful defense. I don’t know how much to attribute to the DC, the HC or the investment in talents. ALL of those things are factors. His age and the fact that the league leans heavily towards offense probably hold him back. One price you pay for success is that other teams want to poach your players and coaches. It’s a good sign that this is a topic, IMO. It reflects well on what we have built. .

THAT is the tailgating spirit we know so well! I mean….all TOO well.

Are you seeing dots? I can see Jets fans using this as though it’s a sink…..I mean urinal. I’d buy a replica of that at a reasonable price for the man cave. Seriously! I found a nice wall art piece about 7’ wide of the Ralph. I’m looking for something I like of the Rock Pile, but I don’t see much I like. I want all three stadiums represented. I got some of those 1960’s program covers matted and ready to frame. Those were iconic works of art only a Bills fan would fully appreciate. We got that instead of the dome. Seems like a fair trade.

Can you settle for video of him doing sit-ups in his driveway?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question. But first, I’m not SURE of anything. It seems it was exploratory surgery that found a partial tear. They were looking for his recent damage, and found more. Beane said something like “it wouldn’t have held up”. That implies to me it wasn’t fully torn, but was compromised and at serious risk. If that’s the case, it was never replaced, but even replaced ACL’s can tear again. The surgeons told us the graft was actually stronger than your own ACL, but stuff happens. . SSSSSSHHHHHH! You’ve said enough.

As I understand it, it was a partial tear. Beane said something about it wouldn’t last. Unfortunately, sewing it back up isn’t an option. You don’t fix it, you replace it. We’ve had a bit of experience with this, but I’d love to hear from someone (knowledgeable 😋) if that’s incorrect.

IDK, we fans are a pretty entitled bunch! WE PAY HIS SALARY! I want my money back! Some attorney somewhere will take that.

And the rest goes to chili and other winter stews, I’m guessing?

On my last trip to South Beach I had to point at the menu because I was the only person in sight that spoke English. We got off at the wrong exit once going to an Orange Bowl, and I thought I’d gone thru a wormhole into a Third World Country. I feared for our lives just driving down the road. About a decade ago it became apparent that we would have to relocate to Miami or Atlanta, which I absolutely despise. We live in Atlanta. You know what they say is the best thing about Miami? It’s so close to the United States!

My wife always gets the flu shot, and she gets the flu about every other year. I very rarely get a flu shot (and never on purpose - long story), and I’ve had the flu once since 1992. There! You did it! You made me jinx myself! 😋 Hope you feel better soon! .

Hey! Six Million Dollars is nothing to a guy like Von! Drop in the bucket, I tell you!

I didn’t know the cadaver was extra! We went with hamstring because a cadaver graft is radiated to try to kill anything the donor might have had. This, as I recall per the Doc, weakens it to a small degree and also cannot 100% guarantee it’s clean. The patella we were warned could take a perfectly good body part and mess with it to a point you won’t like it long term. I guess you are one of the unlucky ones, sorry. The hamstring causes the fewest long term lingering issues, and it’s yours. No need to worry about what you just put inside your body. We took him out of state for surgery to a group that does pro athletes, and we thought they were great! On the very same day Tiger Woods had his ACL surgery and we were pleased to hear he used his hamstring. I bet he can afford some good advice. Not that it’s any of my business, but I wonder what graft Von used?

Your worried about the non-comedy film buffs, but you may have just killed some history buffs. 😋 I wonder how long it’s been that way. He might have played on it for years and been just fine (see Thomas, Thurman), or it might have gone at the next practice. We’ll never know, but at least it’s fixed now and reduces the risk of missing all of NEXT year. I propose they welcome him with open arms a few games before the playoffs so he can be a Super Bowl MVP again!

We went thru our son tearing his ACL, and I believe this is accurate. You don’t fix it, you replace it with a graft from a cadaver, your own patella tendon or your hamstring. You can’t just sew it back together. Sucks, I know……

I’ve been looking for a bright side, so how about this? Obviously we want Von all season long. He was great early this year, and next year we will have him for the back of the schedule and the playoffs, and that’s what we really wanted! It’s the best I got at the moment. 🤷‍♂️

A bit late.

But……if they were to spend a lot of time in close quarters with their DLine over the next few days I’ll send them a special Christmas gift. 😋

There is a BIG difference between consensual sex and rape. I doubt she was looking to get raped. (And I’m not saying she was, but the distinction had to be pointed out.)

I’d be SHOCKED (and disappointed) if Von walked away from all that money. I don’t see that happening at all.

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

We haven’t even seen all of our defense on the field at the same time yet. Losing Von sucks for sure, but we are still good enough to get the job done. The games he helped us win early, especially the KC game, will help us in the playoffs with seeding. Get well Von, can’t wait to get you back.

But they are both in the AFC, and we are trying to make this more of a communal football society. So, maybe? The portal can fix this……. .
