Am I correct in understanding Josh’s condition is terminal?

 

No, I’m an internet doctor and I believe a simple splenectomy should correct this.

Ulnar nerve isn't anything to mess around with.  I had Ulnar nerve entrapment and it basically makes it feel like the backside of your arm is asleep, including your pinky and ring fingers.  You get the numbness and pins and needles thing going on. Would definitely impact your ability to grip and throw of a football like normal.

Correct, if he didn’t have a torn UCL, that last throw would have traveled 90 yards to the end zone, instead of only 70.  No concussion, the throw would have left the stadium.

Football QBs don’t have to throw 80-100 fastballs and curveballs a game. Pitching puts way more stress in the elbow and shoulder than throwing a football.

This isn’t good. Ugh.

The also don’t have 300 lbs defensive ends looking to strip sack him every play

So Allen could be out for 12 months?  

 

12 years, sadly. Luckily he will be good to go for our Super Bowl run in 2034.

Ughh. The way Keenum looked in his few snaps and in pre-season, maybe we ask Josh to play left handed. Go Bills 

[Heitz]

TBD in class like:

 

 

"...I guess it's pretty serious."

You seem VERY committed to this hill. I’ll wait and see. 

[Success]

Might be best to put him in a cryogenic freeze & thaw him out when they find a cure.  

 

He can help some future generation Bills team get to a title. I guess it just wasn't to be.

So Brittany did post a picture of Sky on her Instagram reel 4 hours ago so that’s a good sign all might be ok. 

 

She also has not posted anything relevant to the Game or Josh since the loss so that could be bad.

Nothing from Josh on IG either

 

 

I will let you all come to conclusions on this.

At least our running game would be unaffected.  Ugh……

Has she mentioned anything about Josh not proposing yet?

Ulnar nerves are a big deal

When I was younger I slept (passed out) next to a toilet on a tile floor and crushed my ulnar nerve. I couldn’t move half my fingers for months. It was on my dominant hand, it was both hilarious and brutal. I couldn’t even write my own name. 
 

Edit: To clarify, I passed out on top of my arm on a tile floor. The pressure and duration crushed and killed the nerve. It took a few months to get back to 100%

He’s busy studying advanced cantaloupe farming techniques for his new job beginning tomorrow.

Wait, Josh is in a comma and has lost all ability to communicate? Nooooo!!!!!!!

Better to be in a comma than a colon. 😎

I remember us having this exact conversation in 2018. People were freaking out about Allen needing Tommy John surgery and saying we needed to draft a 1st round QB in 2019. The most likely outcome of a UCL sprain is he misses anywhere from 1-6 games. QBs don't get Tommy John surgery.
