Michael Hoecht Achilles Injury (Confirmed torn Achilles out for the year)

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Wonder if the dolphins would trade with us. Phillips or Chubb should be on the market.

Probably won’t be fully recovered until the 2027 season.

Could be done for next year too.

 

Very good possibility. There's an out in his contract after 2026 but as of now this signing was a complete disaster.

If I had the option for either a win tonight or a loss and a healthy Hoecht, I think I'd take the latter. 

 

He looked that impactful these last two games. Really sucks : (

[BillsFan130]

Really sucks. The only silver lining is the Oliver and Hoecht injury happened before the trade deadline.

 

Beane has to add some interior pass rush now

" be good as long as possible until you get lucky"

 

The bills with injuries are the exact opposite of lucky. The chiefs have fortunately been very lucky with injuries especially getting close to the post season and beyond. Im not saying the chiefs make it to the SB over the bills because of solely on luck, but one team is CLEARLY  not as lucky when it comes to injuries

He'd be cut in the offseason if I was GM

Thank God you're not.

[Coach Tuesday]

Dre’mont Jones on the Titans, he was a monster for them today playing in a very similar role.  On a one year $10M deal, not sure how they’d be able to structure it.  But he would be a viable replacement.

I despise that injury. Its pure physics

 

bah Humbug

LMAO

 

The hyperbole with this guy is off the charts stupid

 

Did he help the defense? Sure 

 

Was he the missing piece that was going to take us to the promised land?

 

Absolutely freaking not

 

 

You weren’t watching enough I guess. 
 

Probably best to not say anything instead of making yourself look stupid. 
 

He was the biggest difference maker on this defense from an all around piece. 
 

Having Hairston has helped in the secondary and Bishop played well today but Hoecht was getting more pressures than anyone on the team and getting sacks, freeing Bosa and others up to get sacks and helping stuff the run. 
 

The Bills can still win games but to act like Hoecht wasn’t a big piece in the defense the last two games just shows you have no clue about football.

Dorian and Hoecht were both out there, together.

Oh please no.

McD has said Jackson is showing more in practice.  I see a trade but he’s getting more playing time just given the number of guys out

What are the chances Wilkins in shape? He was cut for not rehabbing.  He’d have to be a vet minimum signing right? 

[GASabresIUFan]

The Bills D in now out:

 

On the D line: Oliver, Rapp and Hoecht for the year.  Hamlin, Sanders and Strong are on IR with Jones, T Johnson, and Thompson week to week.  That's 5 starters and 4 significant role players.

 

Our secondary is a mess! Poyer is now a starting safety.  Lewis is starting for Johnson at slot corner, with rookies Hairston, Hancock and and PS level players Ingram and Franklin seeing time.  At least Hairston looks like the real deal.

Yeah, but the back end played pretty good today

Javon Solomon was who the bills turned too for this role in the 4th quarter after the injury. 
 

I can’t say I remember 1 good thing that Solomon has done for this defense so my hopes are low but I think this will be what the bills try next. 

Oh no. You're totally wrong. Solomon is the next Lawrence Taylor. Just ask beastmaster.

[JohnNord]

This is NFL.  Players are going to injured.  Probably a few for an extended amount of time.  It’s a long season and a war of attrition.  That’s why you can’t ride the roller coaster

[Process]

This is true. And just brutal. This D line if healthy is the best we've had in the Josh era. One that could truly wreck things in the playoffs. It's devastating what's happened the last two weeks.

That's PRECISELY what he was and why he was brought here. He was a force multiplier that elevated the entire squad.
