Spikes itching to recover from torn Achilles' tendon

[The Spaz]

Takeo Spikes is still on crutches. It's been only three weeks since he had surgery to repair a torn right Achilles' tendon, and he just visited the doctor to get the cast removed.

So naturally, the Buffalo Bills' two-time Pro Bowl linebacker is already thinking about the playoffs.

No, not next season. This one.

Good read. I hope he's right.

He's a little looney... I sure as hell hope he takes all of the time needed for his injury to heal... rushing it back could mean we lose him forever... not just this season.

He needs to think of the bigger picture.

You could almost tell, when he went down, he knew what happened. That explains it...

adrenine does weird things to players. You hear it all the time as to how they play with an injury because half the time they dont know one has accured.

Super Bowl? Anyone else find it odd that he mentions how the team is struggling then also mentions that he'll be ready to play in the Super Bowl?

It's wishful thinking on two counts- the Bills being in the Super Bowl and Spikes being back to play. Seriously, the team may be turning the corner, but even if we do make the playoffs, it would be a team with almost no playoff experience going on the road against teams like the Patriots, Colts, Steelers, Chargers etc. This team isn't anywhere close to Super Bowl caliber.

That confirms what I have seen from Spikes this year - he's not as explosive as he was last year, and I have mentioned that I thought he dissapeared in the Bucs game.

Playing hurt is one thing; being able to make play is another.

I admire Spikes and consider him the most talented Bill the last two years, but we may find out that having Crowell playing now maybe better for the Bills than Spike playing hurt all season for us, assuming Crowell continue to improve based on his last three games.

The guy is honoring his name, WARRIOR. His is nothing but heart, like many guys on the team said before, if I have to go to war, he is the only one that I'll like to go with. He is our heart and soul, not only in the defense, but in the entire team, I really would love to have him back next Sunday, not until playoff, hopefully and with God's help, he'll recover well so he could finish his carrer in Buffalo. That's why in wearing so proud, his jersey almost at every game, our best FA shop so far ever.

The problem I have with this is that he knew it was a problem and could have rested it but chose to play instead. Now we have lost him for the season, when it is possible he could have rested for even a couple months and we would have had him later.
