I think best case scenario for Milano would be some sort of broken bone.

Or a sprain.  But looks like a fibula fx, likely.

 

Possible end of season return if that's the injury

[strive_for_five_guy]

Floyd back in it looked like?

[aristocrat]

What happened to Floyd I missed it?

[NickelCity]

These injuries are heartbreaking. 

 

White Milano Jones....ugh.

There's also studies about throwing on 4th and 1 and they still do it 

You’re right, DORSEY does do that-he doesn’t make the decisions about the travel schedule though

Oh you mean an all pro, leader of the defense,and going into today was the best middle linebacker in the NFL? 

Nah you're right,it means nothing. 🙄

 

You do know we’ve won games Matt Milano has missed……guess what our record is in games where Allen was out.

[MasterStrategist]

Now Taron....ugh...3 years running with these "prime" off normal time games...key injuries

This season is being flushed down the toilet in front of our eyes.

Roger Goddell said some ***** like "we're going to learn a lot from this." 

 

Yeah Roger, games in London are usually dull and boring because you have two low energy, jet lagged teams playing.

 

When you have one team acclimated to the time change and able to bring the usual intensity of an NFL game you are going to have the jet lagged team decimated with horrible injuries.

Appropriate that it's at Tottenham where being "Spursy" has been a thing for a long time.

Taron Johnson back out there....what a relief!!

Here we go with the dumb penalties to kill the drive

Wow...WTF...Allen gotta start leading those throws more

So you are assuming the person that made the decision on the travel is smarter than Dorsey which isn't tough to do but it's an assumption

Dude it’s alright to admit at times your take is wrong-stop making up new things to make it seem like you’re right

Looked like a potentially broken leg

 

Well better than a knee.

[34-78-83]

Oddly, this loss ( so far) is almost entirely on the supporting cast around Josh, and NOT the defense with 6 freaking injuries. Josh has also played extremely well

Huh? Saying it's an assumption the person making the decision is smart? That's about as truthful as it gets because they screwed this one up so how smart can they be?

I blame the travel schedule. They should have been there all week. These guys are not awake

 

So the problem with this argument is Jax and Atlanta traveled over the week prior on Thursday night too and the traveling Thursday night prior to the game has kind of become the NFL standard for games in Europe.  Granted the fact that Jax has been there for the full week does give them a big advantage, but not sure they should change the travel plans because of that. 

 

Other than going over Sunday night or the latest Monday night wouldn't have changed much and then you're changing your entire weekly travel plans anyway.  NFL teams are creatures of habit so really don't think you'd want to that drastically change plans that much.  As also pointed out it was a six hour plane ride, that's only one hour longer when west coast teams travel to east coast (granted 5 hours rather than 3 hours)

 

The only thing that what's become the standard Thursday night red eye to Europe plane trip differs from most normal east to west coast trips is that most West coast NFL teams will practice Friday am, then get on a plane around 1:00PM PST and land say in Buffalo including the time difference around 10:00 PM EST so not really messing with sleep plans.  But with one hour longer trip and extra two hours time difference, plus add in Healthrow airport appears to have rather strict airport landing times, not sure its possible.  Not sure what the evening curfew is, but in the morning if plane arrives prior to 6:00 AM it has to circle, can't land. So guessing nothing later than 10 or 11 PM is allowed to land?

 

IMO the only thing to blame is the advantage Jax is given with 2 weeks straight over there.

I think we can all agree the Bills looked asleep in the 1st half and really the rest of the game too. What works for 1 team doesn't work for all

[NickelCity]

Without White, Milano and Jones, I don't think this team has the horses to win a championship. 

 

Fingers crossed for an in-season return for both Milano and Jones.

This is a weird loss. I think several factors are at play:

1. injuries seem to have taken the air out of the team a bit.

2. Playing in London was a factor vs a team that has been there 2+ weeks. This was supposed to be OUR home game. We had no advantage.

3. Despite the loss, this team showed a lot of character today. Some of these injuries are potentially season ending, yet the defense showed what they’re made of. 
4. possibly penalties today did us in more than anything else. 
 

The difference between McD and Frazier calling the D is night/day. We are lucky to have him as HC. 
 

on to the Giants.

I wrote about it in the other thread, but I played in Europe (another sport) 14 seasons, and remember every trip over there. You have two priorities:

 

1) Go as early as you can. Every 24 hour window before performance will be a big benefit.

2) Once travel is set and you can't change it to earlier, shift your schedule at home drastically. Individual players choosing 4am jogs Monday morning, Tues/Weds practice as early in the day as allowed.

3) There is no three. Everything goes into the first two. It sucks, but is the way to maximize your Sunday performance in a strange time zone.

4) I never got a chance to do it and always had red-eyes (west coast start), but from NY you can fly morning with an evening arrival, and I would suspect that is easier on sleep schedule.

It took Lawrence's best throw as a NFL QB to make that play. He was about to get drilled and Hyde's coverage while not great was not bad either. It was a brilliant throw. 

If that ball is 6 inches further we are praising McD for a great call.

Yep confirmed…….you know nothing about football lol 

look at what hoseface and his merry band of idiots were able to do to us today (especially on 3rd down) sans Tre White and Milano, and amplify it by like 5 when we (hopefully) get to the posteason and face Mahomes and the chosen ones.

If this game was an actual home game the Jags would have been blown out, IMO.

Not like Elam would have done any better in coverage anyway.

[SCBills]

So… any hope Milano and Jones are only 4-6 / 6-10 week injuries or does every player that gets banged up beyond a bruise automatically done for the season now.

Jacksonville also goes there yearly. So even though they left at the same time last week, they know a bit more of how it works

[PayDaBill$]

Take bottom feeders and send them to London especially if you’re sending a team to play a squad that’s been there for two f’in weeks.

 

This league is so ridiculous!

 

The L was bad enough, the loss of players to injuries impacts the season!  Short prep, long trip, time difference. London is just a bad idea.

How much of the injuries are the surface they are playing on? I hate these London games. I would have rather had the home game. ***** London!
