All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Vikings QB Bridgewater might be done for the season
Re: Vikings QB Bridgewater might be done for the season
For the life of me I can't understand why so many of these world class athletes get hurt by themselves. When they get hit its one thing. But you often hear of the non contact injuries. These guys are absolute beasts and the top of the pyramid in athleticism and strength. Why ?

I would guess they are pushing the stress points of their bodies mechanical structure/capabilities beyond their limits.

Maybe it's the demanding strain/stress on their bones, muscles and body...Some people are just not meant to take that constant physical punishment.

This injury sounds horrible. Hope he is ok. Never like to hear this stuff.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that, per the Vikings' head trainer, Bridgewater has a complete tear of his ACL in the left knee-as well as other structural damage to the same knee.

On non contact injuries ? They would have to be doing some weird stretching, body bending weird ass moves.
speaking strictly as someone who's worked in and around football his whole life, noncontact injuries, particularly to the legs are typically a sign steroid use. That or horrible luck + bad field.
not insinuating anything about Bridgewater, just tossing it out there that in general most of these types of injuries occur because of the human body being pushed well beyond it's structural capacity. That structural capacity tends to be "stronger" when built up with weight training and years of hard work. Adding 20lb of muscle due to steroids over a summer, you do nothing to increase the ability of your joints, tendons and ligaments to withstand those new forces.

Thing is though, they put down new matching turf at their stadium and practice field. Some players called it sticky, soft, mushy, needing to be broken in. They said Bridgewater dropped back, planted his foot and crumpled with his knee flailing all over the place.

Injuries can, and may well, occur to ligaments, tendons joints, in the general population among folks who get cortisone injections. Those injections are cash cows to podiatrists that treat plantar fasciitis. IIRC, you get the shots and the problems might show up years later.
There was an injury thread here weeks ago, where I posted about the limitations of the body and the over-building of the body as to why we are seeing these camp and preseason injuries. Nothing prescient by me - it's old medical knowledge.
Re: Vikings QB Bridgewater might be done for the season
IMO, the players train to hard. Look at the stupid leaping drills in scouting combines. It's getting to the point where we have body builders, who were not meant to move like this, playing football. I was always amazed how the bills in their 4 glorious years remained relatively injury free. The training regimes for these players are insane.

I guess Chan Gailey was ahead of his time when he had the Bills lineman wearing knee braces during camp and preseason.
