KDIGGZ Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Should have braced it up and played in THIS GAME. EJ on 1 leg is better than Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 When he was walking around after, and riding the bike, I could tell that he was more or less OK. Still, all he had to do was go out of bounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Should have braced it up and played in THIS GAME. EJ on 1 leg is better than Tuel agree. If EJ finishes out the game we probably win. A whole bunch of 3 and outs by Tuel killed us in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 According to marrone. Hopefully he can brace it up and play. I thought his season was over. You did see him riding the stationary bike and practicing his backdrops on the sideline after the injury didn't you? He'll play next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I started a thread about him needing to learn to slide or go out of bounds. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I keep hearing he's a smart QB, but he's going to have a very short career in the NFL if he doesn't wise up and get out of bounds. Now, I realize he was trying to gain an important first down -- and he succeeded, but at what cost? He has to play smarter or he'll be an ex-NFL player in a couple of years.

ganesh Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The failure to win this game goes on Tuel. He should have been prepared to take over. He had a full pre-season to play. It showed how poorly he was prepared for this game. Also, Nate did him no favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was sure that when they came back from commercial, they were going to be loading him on to the cart....glad to hear its only a knee sprain, hopefully he will be ready to go vs Cincy.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Does anyone know if this is the same knee he had repaired last month? It's not. This was the right knee. In preseason he hurt his left knee. I just looked it up. So this comes from news reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 "E.J. Manuel has been tentatively diagnosed with a sprained right knee. Manuel was spotted wearing a bulky brace in the locker room, but was walking under his own power. "Sprained knee" could mean anything, and the Bills won't know the full extent of the damage until Manuel undergoes an MRI. Judging from the way he was walking around on the sideline this evening, it's quite possible he avoided major injury. His status will be updated Friday." http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football?r=1 Hopefully a sprained knee is all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hopefully he gets better, we also need to draft another QB if he can't stay healthy or doesn't progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I now see what every coach and the people in the "business" say about EJ and his persona just being infectious... You can't help but love the guy and root for him. But, damn he still got a ways to go. It always seems to take him 2 quarters of a football game to start getting in to rhythm. In this case, unfortunately, right when things were looking up, he got hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) A sprain could mean anything. Some of the things it could mean could be very bad. When I tore my ACL completely in two, the diagnosis sheet said ACL "sprain". I hope the fact that EJ could walk afterwards is a good sign, but I could too within 20 minutes of tearing my ACL.

Yeah, but I'd put money on the fact that you couldn't do those drop backs like he was doing on the sideline after. ACLs provide lateral support and really don't have anything to do with walking/running down a straight line. Once he was shuffling his feet testing out the drop backs and it didn't give, I was pretty confident that it was not an ACL tear.

I could do more than straight ahead, but I wasn't pretending to be a QB on the sidelines. Still, I am not sure that we can breathe any sigh of relief that is not serious until we see the diagnosis.

BuffalOhio Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I've torn both ACL's. I don't think EJ tore his. It looks like a simple hyperextension to me. I'll bet he plays in 10 days. Hopefully he learns to get out of bounds next time. Brian Hoyer on the other hand, that's one messed up right knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There's no way he does those test drop backs with a torn ACL. His knee would have buckled immediately while doing so. I think he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbag3man Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Agreed that he dodged a bullet. Watch clips of Jake Ballard trying to cut in the Super Bowl a few years ago, that's what a torn ACL is. EJ hopefully learned a valuable lesson, and escaped major injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
