we just cant have nice things... this injury really dampens the win...  going to be very hard to replace him. 

We have Joshua Patrick Allen.

 

God I hate the “why can’t we have nice things?” take.  

[Success]

I'm going to visualized that it was just a calf strain, and he's back in 3-4 weeks.

 

That's all I believe right now.

Man that sucks big time 😞  Our D was really starting to come alive with him.  

 

That's because he's the closest thing to Lorax since Lorax. We didn't even really get to see what might have been.

Shawne Merriman 2.0

 

Bills fans need to stop drooling over a guy who used PEDs and probably hurt himself because of it

 

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

Shawne Merriman was freaking awesome when he was on PEDs. I hope Hoecht starts taking them again immediately to speed up the rehab process.

How much bad luck can one team have with injuries? Its like we are under a black cloud the entire season!

[bills6969]

Wow, of course.

It could always be worse. Look at the injury stuff San Francisco has gone through the past few years. It's likely cost them multiple Super Bowls.

[ColoradoBills]

This is so sad.

 

Let's hope he can come back from this.

Look at what our defense has dealt with.

- Oliver done for the year

- Hoecht done for the year.

- TJ Sanders done most of the year

- DaQuan Jones out for awhile.

- Milano out for most of the year

Hairston out for preseason and first half of the season (bad for a rookie).

I think they try and trade for another DT.  If not Jackson gets his chance to play Hoechst’s  role.

[NickelCity]

Brutal loss. Changed the defense immediately. 

[Cray51]

Dude tore his Achilles, and still tried to rush and finish the play 

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Of Course we wait 6 games to see what this guy can do for our D and he’s gone after 6 quarters. These effin injuries

Torn Achilles as per McD in post game presser just now. 

Sucks that it is official. Dude looked like 2016 Lorax out there. Gonna likely put him off until late next year at best. Bills need to trade for a body on the D-Line. They aren’t gonna find someone making that type of impact via trade most likely but they just need a body or two there to eat the innings so to speak

Forget deals for a WR; Beane has got to go find at least one and possibly 2 DL before the deadline.

Jackson moves up to get his shot.  But I also think they make a trade.

[MPL]

Is there anyone out there that can be acquired that can give you what Hoecht did? 

[gobills404]

This is (or at least should be) easily the best DL Beane has ever assembled so of course they’ve been absolutely decimated by injuries and suspensions.

AJ as DE3 isn’t as bad as it would’ve sounded to start the season. I think he’s been solid this year
