I knew it was broke the minute they said he wasn't coming back in. I think we all did. Edited October 19, 2021 by Big Blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could never get enough separation to force tannehill to be a drop-back passer. Points on that drive would’ve forced Tennessee to speed up their offense. Doesn’t trust Sweeney as much as Knox. Nice selective editing. I feel like we're putting uneccesary blame on the dline but maybe that's a hot take...tannehill had guys wide open immediately every play because our linebackers were absolutely clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 5 hours ago, BuffaloRebound said: Knox being out the last 2 drives was huge. Josh clearly doesn’t trust Sweeney the same way he does Knox. It showed on the huge sack where Josh had Sweeney wide open but clearly thought twice throwing it to him. The 4th down stop was headliner but that sack was just as important. I don’t think that is so, Josh certainly trusted him enough to throw a TD pass to him, Sweeney has always had good hands. Go Bills!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) When I saw that shot put throw on the two pointer, I was thinking it was a pretty weak toss for a former QB, but this explains it. Gamer to execute that with a busted hand. Really sucks for the guy. Was having a great start to the year. Hope it doesn’t keep him out long. Keep this in mind if the dropsies come back around. One of Josh’s heaters can’t feel great with a healthy hand. Let alone a broken one. Edited October 19, 2021 by TheProcess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know any updates. Do you happen to know how this jibes with @Nextmanup saying "they" said Knox might not even miss any time? Because I can't imagine not missing time after surgery on a hand. FWIW I remember you last fall bringing some info about Knox so I know you didn't just swim up from nowhere with the Knox connection.

I have no idea what his status is, but it’s a shame that he got hurt at a time when he was really starting to shine. I’m hoping that between the bye week and a little lighter schedule coming up he can get right back to the level of play he was starting to demonstrate this year. Even during his dropsies, I’ve always loved his ceiling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 ST, first thanks for sharing and I’m sure you’ll update when you know what’s up. I guess one shining light is we have a bye, Fins, Jags, and Jets. McD can take his time with Knox and assess when he is 100%. I’d rather hold him back one extra week, then rush him back. The Colts are a good running team and would optimally be when it would be good to see Knox at a minimum on a patch count. We want him in a groove by the Saints.

He might come out of the cast in ~3 weeks but then is gonna need some PT and strengthening. But if Knox gets to play with that bionic brace Gronk used to use to club people with, that'd be kinda cool.

More so with feet (especially on big guys), so I take nothing for granted. But yes, it would be nice to know what else we have in terms of talent at the position. It might be possible we can win a few games without Ertz? (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
