EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Awful. Another IDP player for me on IR. Hope he heals well, as he has shown some serious abilities in year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries are part of the game and this benefits the Bills. Umm, no offense, but I can’t feel “good” about a guy tearing his ACL. I get it, I know it happens, and they are our competition, but that just sucks. The good news is, it’s not the devastating injury it used to be. My son tore his and had a great recovery (in a basketball tournament 5 months post-surgery, albeit gingerly). It used to be career threatening. Was CB Robert James “just” an ACL tear? The knee injury was the end of a potentially amazing career. . Edited October 18, 2020 by Augie 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take the player a year to get back to his previous level once he starts playing again even after recovery but they usually get back without much of a problem. But the 7 or 8 months of rehab and recovery definitely sucks. Edited October 18, 2020 by matter2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he just wants to see the Bills win, and it’s a context thing, but like it or not it true, no excuses, next man up, injures are not an excuse in football, you either win or you lose, it’s the only stat line that means anything. That said, I have zero animosity toward the guy and do hope he heals up and continues to play well, except when we play them.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 If Ben stays healthy, I still think Pittsburgh wins that division. Not sure one player changes a lot but Bush meant a lot to that defense. I had Pittsburgh, KC, and Seattle as the toughest games of the year. Still think that is the case.

I speak only as someone who has torn theirs and it’s rather terrible: there’s the pain, of course, and the surgery, but the worst part is how it messes with your mind. After the tear, your leg will go side to side at the knee. It’s a very strange feeling (I’m speaking of a complete tear). Going back against some of the best athletes in the US with the memory of your knee being that way and the pain (from both the tear and the recovery) cannot be easy in my opinion. There have been many NFL players who come back the following year and aren’t the same for a year after their return. It just isn’t the same feeling yet it’s your knee.

Yes for sure there is about a year or so between the time you get back on the field until the tike you feel back to normal performance wise. How long ago was yours? Did you recover fully?

How long ago was yours? Did you recover fully? Mine was five years ago (full ACL and MCL tears) and no, I haven’t: still cannot straighten my knee...but I’m not a good sample group as I’m 50, not a professional athlete and have other ailments. Having been an athlete, though, I believe it would mess with your mind for a while. I think it’s, in all reality, a two year injury...which is extreme for these young men. That’s all I’m saying.

Just one reason to miss preseason a little bit less. I fear preseason injury far more than a loss. They need to get in game shape, but safely. There is no perfect solution, but I pray that one good thing can come from this year and we can do “better”. Sucks for the man, the team and the fans. Hoping we get lucky for the rest of the year. .

Nelius Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Some really, really good teams in the AFC and these are big losses for the two undefeated ones right now.
