The Firebaugh Kid Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 One can dream. I would personally be ecstatic to get one of them back. It could really be a huge difference maker heading into the playoffs should we do enough to make it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I do have this faint glimmer of hope that Milano is one of those rare athletes who can make this sort of recovery in time for the playoffs. That's not substantiated by anything other than an instinct. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) No LB'ers were moved. Only 1 DT. There were a total of 6 moves made today league wide. Wanting trades to happen is all fine and good. But it takes someone wanting to trade them and the compensation to be right for it to happen. It's not the NHL or the NBA.

Donuts and Doritos Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I thought Jones had a shot for the playoffs (if all went well) & Milano was like Hyde last year, if we're super lucky AFC Champ game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) There seems to be whispers of a potential Suh signing at some point.

The lack of moves isn't necessary lack of attempts to move, at least at LB.

TheFunPolice Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I'm so used to weekly, in-depth updates on Rodgers achilles accompanied by regular social media posts that hearing nothing at all about injuries to major players on the team is strange. Jones did post on Instagram a picture of him at the Tampa game wearing a shoulder sling, so that's something I guess.

NewEra Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Sure hope so. I was really hoping we’d eliminate the Dodson/Rapp pairing by adding someone at LB. Douglas is a big corner, maybe they can move him into rapps spot when they want to go 6 DBs. He can play inside and out. We were one CB injury away from season over. Just a great trade. - been listening to a couple packers podcasts talking about the trade- 99% are either sad (because they think he’s good and wanted to keep him long term) or happy for him (to be traded for a contender). Many said that they loved watching him play. I love that. Edited November 1, 2023 by NewEra 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Daquan MAYBE if they made it deep into the playoffs. Milano is done and the lack of additional info about his injury SINCE his injury makes me wonder if it's worse than we've been told.

TheFunPolice Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 for both of these injuries I would worry that the players would be healthy enough to play but would have lost significant strength in key areas while they were healing that they wouldn't be able to recover in that period of time. Next season, sure, but they have to heal AND also get leg strength/pec strength back to be effective. I would think that pec strength for a DL is huge, with all the pushing off of guys to break blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 They haven't rule either out, which is a positive. From the few short comments they've made, there is hope.. It likely depend on how they both heal. It's pretty different w/ every individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I’d be surprised if we see either this season. It would seem the wise decision would be to let them fully heal, rehab and ensure their strength is 100% for next season. It sucks but those were two bad injuries that will take time.

oldmanfan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 With Milano it depends what he broke. If the fibula he could come back since it isn’t a weight bearing thing. If a tibial fracture then much less likely he can get back this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t pay Suh any attention last year so idk how much he has in the tank but he was solid with Bucs the year before. He not really the type of player mcbeane likes(I’m not a fan of his antics either) but maybe this team needs someone like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Well Jones is a FA, hopefully re signed and anyone we added for Milano would be irrelevant once he's healthy, so just not worth it 21 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I was actually wrong.

Orlando Tim Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Milano is not sharing much information with anyone, including his friends. He is from near where I live and I have an acquaintance who is tight enough that Milano he has gone with Milanos family to every game in Florida. As of last week Milano had not contacted him to respond to anything related to leg and his parents are not telling anyone anything. My guess is that the leg is really messed up but maybe he is trying something revolutionary to heal it and doesn't want to hear it from his father who is a doctor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minn. needed aQB, they got one. Seattle needed a tackle, Leonard Williams, Philly needed a safety, they got an all pro, SF needed a DE,they got a 1st rd drafted Chase Young, the Bears wanted an elite DE, Montez Sweat. Jacksonville lost an OL and got one. If you are relevant and ready to deal draft picks, there’s a trade partner available. Beane got a good corner because he knew the fans would destroy him if he did nothing with his track record of not being active at the deadline.
