Fezmid Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just got this from FootballGuys: Hi Folks, Bad news for Buffalo as ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Bills RB Fred Jackson suffered a torn medial collateral ligament that is likely to end his season. Thanks to Footballguy Cecil Lammey for the headsup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Sad to say that it might even be a career ender. Freddy's got all the heart in the world but age has caught up to him and his body cannot hold up to the beating an NFL running back, even one splitting time, takes. Get well soon, Freddy. Much admiration. Edited December 10, 2012 by JÂy RÛßeÒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That's too bad. I like Freddie. Obviously, it's too late to teach Chan to split the time between CJ and Freddie. The guy is flat out stubborn and blames CJ's lack of touches on him being "winded"....Bull$heet!!! Now he has no choice but to use CJ...just in time for us to win 3 games at the end of the season.....what a bonehead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I hope Spiller puts some extra conditioning work in this week, to prepare his body for the 12-carry load he'll have to saddle next week in Toronto now that Fred is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Cain Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 MCL is hardly a career ending injury. Fred needs to go to the Don Joy knee brace on his right knee. It worked for Thurman his whole career. No doubt Dirty 30's week 1 hit made Jackson's knee more suspectible to re injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I agree, I don't think it's a career ender. Best case scenario is that he's back next year as a third down back, with Spiller carrying the load. But we all know that's dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much admiration. Yeah I think Fred Jackson will be back next season. Its not really a horrible injury. Obviously its not body so its easy to say but I don't think this will sideline him for long. Now if he took that time to figure out why he started fumbling that would be helpful. Didn't he have a long streak of touches without a fumble prior to 2012? His two fumbles took points of the board and cost wins they were killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Fumble Express has left the building. Seriously though sad he got injured.

Joe Miner Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Lacy projects to the third. Then it's definitely a perfect fit for the Bills. By the way it was sarcasm in my first post. It doesn't matter what RB it is, the Bills shouldn't be drafting one in the first. Edited December 10, 2012 by Joe Miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step up and be mocked. This. It's just proving even more how people can really want someone to succeed but at the end of the day, regardless of "miles", 30 years old for a player that runs a lot is just too much. Anyone that succeeds past that point is an exception, not the rule. Freddy is proving to be the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) It's a shame failin gailey can't remember anything......if this "genius" does what the frick he says and uses Spiller w lions share, then Freddy's just fine. Congrats on losing again gailey, and way to get Freddy hurt. Guess your presser about CJ spiller lions share was more Chan BS.

Bufcomments Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This has not been Fred's year at all. What a shame after last season. Get well soon bro.

As I and others have said all season, he's done, unfortunately. We need to draft a RB in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Footballguy Cecil Lammey for the headsup. This sucks, but for mostly the wrong reasons. One, my selfish reason...it hurts my fantasy team all ready dealing with injuries going into my playoffs as Fred was my flex. Two, it hurts the Bills draft value because we are a better team with Spiller as the unquestioned starter than we are with the two splitting carries and this increases the odds we win more games...meaningless games that only lower our draft position. Third, I really like Fred as a player and person, so hate to see him hurt in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
