This guy seems to have more credibility than someone calling themself 'the thigh doctor'. 🤔

 

I think this dude used to be the team doc for the Chargers

I am sure Brandon Beane is on the phone right now willing to give up a 6th rounder

Yes, he did.

I'm probably in the minority here, but when we lose a player for the season (likely, in this case), it saps all of the joy from a big win.

Oliver was playing his best ball this season. Best I've ever seen him play. This just sucks and takes almost all of the excitement out of a 40-9 win for me.

 

Yeah, yeah I'm the Debbie Downer. It is what it is.

 

If KC has a similar injury to Mahomes, Chris Jones, McDuffie or Kelce, I will feel 100x better actually, but when does that ever happen?

Oliver is done for the season. Maybe he gets back if we make a deep playoff run. It’s a classic mechanism of injury for a biceps tendon tear and there’s not much else that can go wrong in the elbow. He reached out to grab a RB while he was going down and it popped. If it was Milano, he’d pop his pec. Just another in a long line of Glass players we’ve unfortunately signed to big bucks. Milano, Oliver, Bernard. The All Glass Team. Frustrating.

No 6th next year.  He does have 2 7ths.

That totally sucks for Oliver but now it's time to earn your draft status young buck or anyone getting elivated. 

 

The only one to earn their Draft status left on the Roster is Deone Walker. He's been doing that. But he doesn't play Oliver's position. He lines up at 1T. 

 

When Jones returns (whenever that will be), maybe they start Jones and move Walker over to 3T (as he has flexibility). But until then it's Ogunjobi at 3 and Walker at 1. God forbid either get hurt. All we have is Practice Squad DT's underneath them right now.

Jackson Hawes is as well.

Does he play Defensive Tackle?

[BUFFALOBART]

Back in the early '90's, Bills players would be stretching on the field, before a game. A LOT of stretching, at that! 

Injuries are (of course) a part of the game. That being said, I've been very critical of the strength & conditioning staff, because I don't think that they do enough to minimize player injuries before they can happen.

Was he the one that punctured Tyrod's lung?

I believe he was. You would be surprised how often that happens though. I'm a nurse and I've seen it happen many, many times on routine thoracentesis'

Go get Christian Wilkins. 
 

Maybe he’ll be less likely to play grab ass with Josh when on the same team.

If it seems like I am reaching for silver linings here, it’s because I am.

 

With Chiefs up next, I am wondering, has Ed Oliver ever played a truly impactful game against KC? 
 

Given his tendency to “disappear” in certain games (in past years) I wonder if he’s always been more of a matchup guy, and I wonder if the Chiefs OL has always been a bad matchup for him.

 

He has gone on record saying the 2 toughest OL he has ever gone up against were both Chiefs. 

 

Having said that, he has played 3 games this season and played at a very high level in all 3, so the fact this was trending towards being his best year as a Buffalo Bill is what bums me out the most.

Chris Jones has only missed 4 games since 2020. And some of those were contract related. 
 

Travis Kelce has missed 5 games since 2014. 
 

Kermit Mahomes has missed 3 games since 2020. 
 

Part of being great is health. But holy Christ is luck involved as well. Kelce’s

health/games played blows my mind.

imagine if Chris jones were injured with the same frequency. That entire KC defense would fall to pieces.

Without looking up stats to support my memory, he ate up the Chiefs OL in the regular season game last year. I remember because Chiefs Planet was talking about how Oliver got the better of Trey Smith all game. 
 

EDIT: I’m thinking of the last win in KC, 2023. That was Ed’s best game against the Chiefs. Only half a sack, but very disruptive throughout.

Probably was his best performance then.

According to my research, here are Ed's career stats vs. KC

9 games, including playoffs:

11 solo tackles
10 assisted tackles
1.5 sacks (0.5 in regular season, 1 in post season, believe it was in first quarter and more of a coverage sack if I remember correctly)

Not much to write home about. 

Again, don't get me wrong, huge loss overall, and I wasn't able to enjoy this 40-9 blowout win as a result of this injury (kinda reminds me of Tre White on Thanksgiving, actually) but I don't think his absence was ever going to be a major reason we won or lost to KC next week.

 

I'll tell you what was a worse injury, hands down, and that was Von Miller on Thanksgiving. The season he was having for us to that point, the impact he DID have on Kansas City, it was clear that if he were able to stay healthy, we might have actually had a post season pass rush against Mahomes for the first time ever under McDermott.

He abused Trey Smith last year in the regular season game.

      Yep, against possibly one of the worst OL ‘salso riddled with injuries.  Plus it was an immobile Andy dalton.  Won’t happen against Mahomes.  It does matter who you play and we always struggle to sack Mahomes. Great w today , but just  keeps pace w the Pats who have a very easy schedule compared to the Bills.  Get 7 sacks against the chiefs and I will be very impressed.  
 

     Pretty sure Reid is smart enough to take away cook running. Our oc still can’t find him in our passing game. Our o line will struggle protecting against Jones per usual and if Palmer is still out ,it migt be a long day for Allen. He still doesn’t seem like himself; escaping backwards and he never scrambled at all today. Guess someone is not wanting him to run ?!  Wonder if it is Mcd, Brady, Beane , or his beautiful wife? If it’s her , I would completely understand as no way could football ever compare to keeping her a happy wife!  lol!   Next week will tell us the truth , this w is like fools gold !  lol!   I don’t care what anyone says , not every W is created equal!  Best wishes , Happy Halloween! 

They def got banged up as the game went on (which is nothing new for them

this year) but they def haven’t been one of the worst OLs in the league especially recently 

 

parity is strong in the nfl and it seems like people just assume teams that have been bad the last few years are just as bad at everything and it’s not always the case haha total season overall they’re average at worst I’d say…last few weeks they’ve been good though up front especially in run blocking
