Paul Posluszny is not practicing today. Apparently he suffered an injury in practice Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Angelo Crowell is not in attendance at practice.

We'll have more information after practice (11:50-1:50 pm).

Ellison and DiGiorgio couldn't get the job done last year or the year before. Corto just moved to LB. The prospect of 2 of those 3 STARTING is scary.

Plus, what happens if there's another LB injury during the game? Then we're really up **** creek.

Picture this:

Due to injuries at LB, Corto is forced into PT. A tight game goes into OT tied at 17. The Bills lose the coin toss and Seattle receives.

On their second offense play of OT, Corto intercepts Hasselbeck and takes it to the house. Bills win.

When players don't practice on Wed or Thurs, they usually don't play. This is a legit reason for concern.

this is what you haters don't get: Win, lose or draw, we only get 16 games a year. So I watch every game. I don't have to pretend the team is better than it is to keep watching.

Right NOW, it looks like they're not going to play. If they don't play, we lose. Deal with it.

I get a little sick of this "wait and see" mentality. What exactly is the rule on that? When something happens, to we have to ask YOU when enough time has passed before we react to it? I'm reacting to the information we have NOW, and it is not good at all.

no, it's not a guaranteed loss because there are no guarantees in sports. But it makes the chances of winning ridiculously small.

OP, i usually am on your side, but its really too early to tell. the bills have shown this preseason that they want everyone ready to go for the opener. They held out a 2nd yr QB with a new offense to make sure he's healthy. They played lynch sparingly.

If there is something that's bothering the player, they are probably playing the conservative side of things.

If it was serious, i think the diagnosis would come out pretty quickly. It would read, "Poz was injured in practice holding such and such. We'll wait and see."

the way its written makes it seem precautionary.

ANYTHING that suggests "same D as last year" has me worried. it doesn't matter if it's not definite yet. Wouldn't you much rather have both in practice so we don't have to choose between worrying about it now or worrying about it later? This team isn't good enough to survive setbacks, even minor ones (and potentially losing 2 starting LB's is far from minor).

I know our reactions have no bearing on what happens. But a reaction is just that: a reaction. It's a response to an external stimulus, often immediate, and it's not completely controllable. Our 100% isn't all that great, so anything that suggests we're going to be less than 100% is going to have my concerned.

100% agree. IF it were serious they would shout something now. some already threw in the towel. wtf isup with that. we pulled ou some victiries last year against some tough teams with half are starters on d out. i say poz is playing he didnt hurt himself that bad as said above PRECAUTIONARY. crow is in ther to.
they will have more at a specific time frame. dont you think if they would of stated more if it were serious. like hey lets get on the ball and see what up? not buying they are in we win. THATS REALITY

This sounds precautionary. We most likely would have heard something yesterday if there was a serious injury. It wasn't even reported that someone had to leave practice early yesterday. Plus, we don't even know if Crowell missing practice is related to an injury.

The injury could be as minor as a soar hamstring, a twisted ankle, or a jammed finger. We just don't know. If Poz and Crowell don't practice tomorrow either, then I'll start to be concerned. We will know what's going on in a couple hours.

Van Pelt beat Dan MArino's college records. It meant nothing in the NFL.

Somebody needs to ask him why he waited until now. It could have been done and fixed.

Is it because he has not gotten a new deal? Or did it bother more than he originally thought?

JJamezz
09-04-2008, 02:05 PM
They probably decided to do it now because they had decided to give it time and at this point don't want it lingering throughout the season. A knee scope is not that big of a deal, it's usually just to get a look inside the knee and do some 'clean up' if there's anything in there that shouldn't be (bone fragments, pieces of cartilage).

As long as they don't find something more serious, it shouldn't keep him out longer than 2-3 weeks I would guess.

Bills linebacker Angelo Crowell is out for Sunday's game after deciding to undergo surgery for a persistent knee problem. The decision however, came as a shock to the coaching staff and teammates as Crowell practiced fully on Wednesday.
“Angelo has elected to have knee surgery,” said head coach Dick Jauron. “We’ll know more about that as we move forward, but he is out for the game and that’s a surprise.”

Jauron said it will be a scope procedure which in most cases takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to recover. But what made the decision so surprising was there weren’t any signs that he was leaning toward surgery.

“It came pretty much out of the blue and it was certainly nothing that we saw coming, but that’s kind of the way our business is,” said Jauron. “He was not in for anything other than his normal treatment.”

Jauron did not confirm it, but the surgery is likely in response to the knee problems Crowell has experienced each of the last two training camps. The linebacker has had discomfort in the knee and swelling. He was able to overcome the problem last season and started all 16 games. This past summer however, Crowell again had the same problem with his left knee and again missed portions of training camp.

Sounds like it was Crowell's decision.

WTF?

You are aware Seattle is beat to hell too and is missing 2 key guys due to suspensions, correct?

Which guys are those?

Sounds like he's pulling a late Jason Peters... :ill:


What's next? Lee Evans gets a hamstring injury and sits himself for a month? :scratch: :mad:

guys.. i am sure his knee was scaring him.. DJ said he was just going in for a normal check up and his doctor most likely recommended it.. players dont tell doctors when surgery is needed, it is the other way around.

stop crying about it.. would you much rather have a healthy crowell for 14 games this season instead of a gimpy one all year? i know i would. plus it will lower his numbers and make him easier to resign.

who is in charge of strength and conditioning?

why do the bills constantly seem to have more injuries than most?

If they don't play, we lose. Deal with it.

Are you serious?

I bet some "realist" on SeahawksZone.com is typing the same thing right now about Rocky Bernard & Jordan Babineaux--who are 100% out for the game. Or Matt Hasselbeck, Lofa Tatupu, or Deion Branch, each of whom has been extremely limited in practices as of late due to nagging injuries.

If you want to be a "realist", that's fine, I get the fact that this team has not succeeded enough lately to be given any benefit of the doubt. However, statements like the above are every bit as unrealistic as arguing that losing Poz & Crowell is no big deal.

POZ TURNED HIS ANKLE: Head coach Dick Jauron said Paul Posluszny turned his ankle in practice Wednesday which is what kept him out of practice Thursday.

Jauron said he is optimistic that Posluszny will be fine and ready to go for Sunday's game.

He is now out for the year. WTF is this ****? What a time for this to happen. Well I guess Spragan either comes back or we place Buggs on the active roster. What a time for this to happen. I sure in the hell this is legit and not him trying to get back at the team for whatever reason.

This surgery for Crowell sucks. His knee has been a problem all camp and probably dates back to the end of the season. He should have had this thing scoped way before the start of the season. To make this decision now is a kick in the nuts.

Some seem to think we don't need him, but that guy is, I think, our 2nd best if not best LB. The last think I want is Ellison or Corto filling in. I can't believe some think they are just as good as Crowell.

I think what is even scarier is that Jauron and Co. didn't even seem to think surgery was an option. If the guy is constantly kept out of practice and preseason games because of knee problems, maybe this is something they should have suggested more vigorously earlier. Hopefully there won't be any complications and he'll be back after the bye week.

If true, let the IR procession begin. I wonder how much these injuries have to do with the training staff? We never had these problems, at least to this extent, when Rusty Jones was here.
