Google lateral meniscus tear and you see 4-6 weeks which puts Miller back Week 16 to Round 1 of playoffs. Could have been worse. Hopefully he comes back for the playoff run.
No more of those RPO slant passes to WRs in redzone. The field is too bunched and too many teams have seen this film. Bare minimum perhaps actually do the run option to make defense respect it.
Frazier has done well without Edmunds, Milano, Poyer, Hyde & White. The corners are limited until Elam & White return, but I do like the platoon approach.
Miller is a good enough athlete to play without an ACL like Thurman Thomas did for his entire pro career, given proper bracing and strengthening of the support muscles.
Lack of OL and consistent running game threat, a defense that clearly misses Hyde, White and a reliable #2 corner. The Bills are 8-3, and have 6 games left to take #1 seed.
Mahomes has blown the last 5 years. 2018 chokes vs Brady. 2019 nearly choked vs 49ers finally won. 2020 choked vs Brady. 2021 choked vs Burrow. Mahomes has blown Tyreek Hill, and now has a tight end near the end Travis Kelce age 33, and a bunch of players who have never done anything in big moments.
The glory of victory. This reminds me of Maximus after he defeated the barbarians in Germania. Dan Campbell “Berzerker German” needed seven swords to finally die but the the more professionally organized but beaten up army won victory after a long campaign.
He looked down as any player would after suffering a knee injury. We will know if it is an ACL or MCL. Players hurt their knees all the time. Don’t jump to conclusions. MCLs are possible to return from. Fred Jackson came back from two MCLs in different seasons. We will know more shortly.
I like our chances. We get the ball to start the 2nd half and should go for a TD. 4th and 1 at the 33? Let’s go for it. Every week we will get everyone’s best shot. Might as well play to win.
