Buffalo Bills Bills Season Part II 2016 - Next: Preseason Game 4 at Detroit

[missingmika]

Paul Kruger cut by the Browns. I assume the Bills are jumping on this.

Pats cut Terrance Knighton. That's a surprise too and would be decent for the line in the run game.

Just seen the replay of the roughing the passer call my goodness what a joke ...

REX RYAN: NOT GONNA MAKE ROSTER MOVES ON MONDAY (10:12)

The Bills head coach talks about getting the roster down to 75, preparing for the Ravens and Jets, and the playing status of quarterback Cardale Jones.

Practice Notes: Goodwin and Jones return

Marquise Goodwin and Cardale Jones both returned to practice Monday after injuries kept them on the sidelines over the past week.

Mingo sucks big time!

I like the move a lot. The Pats are bringing in first round raw talent whom they graded highly, inserting them into a proven system, and trying to develop them as complimentary players. It's a smart, low cost approach. Another way they're always operating a couple steps ahead.

AFC East has a terrible first 4-6 games for each team:

Jets: Cinci, @Buffalo, @KC, Seattle, (@Pit, @Arizona)
Dolphins: @Seahawks, @Pats, Browns, @Cinci, (Ten, Pit)
Patriots: @Arizona, Miami, Houston, Buffalo (@Cle, Cinci)
Bills: @Balt, NYJ, Arizona, @NE, (@LA, SF)

If teams play like they did last year, Jets could be 0-6 to 2-4, Dolphins could be 3-3, Pats could be 2-4 or 3-3.

I'd have to think the Bills have the easiest first 6 games.

That Jets schedule is just brutal.

 

[Onslow]

I'd be ok getting out of that stretch 3-3. Provided they win the divisional games.

I kind of feel like they need to be 4-2 at that point. Weeks 7-10 aren't fun either: @MIA, NE, @SEA (MNF), and @CIN. Then our bye. If we can get to the bye week at 5-5 we could go on a late run with the softer portion of the schedule (though it still won't be a cakewalk by any means) but that's probably the worst we can be.

I feel so bad for Teddy Bridgewater. His career is probably over.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Statement from Vikings Director of Sports Medicine and Head Athletic Trainer Eric Sugarman on Teddy Bridgewater:

Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice. The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage. Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days. Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab.

Why Austin Trainor? Figured he would play most of the last game.

He was a precaution in case Cardale wasn't ready. It's Cardale's game since his shoulder is ready.

all things considered, sounds like teddy got really lucky. knee dislocation can lead to all sorts of extremely scary things, and is oftentimes accompanied by the tearing of several ligaments, not just the ACL. it can also lead to full-blown leg amputation depending on the exact nature of the injury (torn arteries aren't uncommon) and the amount of time it takes for treatment.

one season lost is one of the absolute best case scenarios for this type of injury

Eric Wood is a blue chip player?

Huh.

Huh.

Eric Wood had an excellent season last year.

Eric Wood is a blue chip player?

Huh.

He is very quietly one of the better centers in the NFL, probably a top 5 guy....definitely top 10.

That's a nice thing to say. He'll have a job after McCoy gets hurt in week 1 with some freak Buffalo RB like injury
