Suggs out for year

[MrNathanDrake]

Ravens would be devasted without Haloti Ngata.

Suggs isn't nearly as bad of a loss.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I certainly find no joy in an opponent getting hurt.

In this particular case, I am also not feeling particularly saddened either, though.

 

[Shockt327]

When the Pats play Balt, I'd want to beat them at their best. Win or lose, no excuses. That being said, I hope Suggs makes it back as quick as possible.

 

[Lansdowne]

That's too bad.

I've gotta agree that you all are sitting in the catbird's seat entering the season. That said, every year there's so much turnover in the playoffs. Like last season, when the Texans finally evolved (shame about their injuries!) and the 49ers came out of nowhere. Who knows, the Bungles may build on last season and become the dominant team in the AFCN...

And every year you have to add "injuries" to your list of threats...just look what it did to Houston (and to a lesser extent Pitt) at the end of last season. Some years you're lucky in that regard, other seasons you're not.

Teams usually only come of no where when they have an easy schedule, like KC two years ago. The only team that could be 'out of no where' this year is Tennessee. If Britt is healthy, CJ2K is in shape, Locker takes the next step they could do it. Buffalo is another candidate to step up but I don't see either team making the AFC championship game short of major injuries to the big three NE, Pitt, TX.

Do we know when the injury happened? If prior to the draft, Ozzie can't be too happy to just be learning of it.

Rumor has it that Suggs fell when trying to scale the south wall of Brady's castle in Brentwood, Ca. NFL security was on site within seconds and helivaced Suggs from the scene and the copter was last scene headed east. The FAA has since reported the copter cleared the Arizona/ California line and appeared headed toward Phoenix. Meanwhile, LA Swat in conjunction with NFL Security, Castle Guards, and agents from Policia Brasilia swept the castle grounds and an all clear signal was heard down in the valley. NFL Security remanned their posts at the four perimeter turrets. TMZ had this..."No word if Mr. Bundschen was disturbed from his sleep. Mrs. Bundschen was not at the castle at the time of the attempted intrusion."

All I want to know, since NFL security was involved, is can we lose a first round draft pick over this once Goodell gets wind of it?

Exactly.

Who enjoyed the Patriots beating the Colts this past season? Even the 4th-quarter near comeback couldn't make that game very compelling.

The league is better when its best players are playing, and part of the reason the NFL is interesting is because of characters like Suggs.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Bad news for the Ravens. Never wish anyone to get injured. Looks like Upshaw might have to step up for them even earlier than expected!

 

[Jackson 2]

Just heard on ESPN...torn achilies

Up next from Baltimore - it's New England's fault.

Agreed.

Wanted another "Oh My God!" from him in Jan 2013. Oh, well.
What I don't like about this is that it makes the path for the excellent 2012 draft Squealers to postseason easier. Yeah, I know the bungles are improved but a 2nd strong contendah would make life difficult. Don't want the risk of a 3rd Rthlsbrgr SB ring. Regardless, by the time Sizzle returns, Reid and Lewis will be close to collecting social security.

Would much rather have had him on the field for the beatdowns. That sound you just heard was the Ravens window as it closed.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Not going to waste too much time feeling bad for the guy after he dove at Brady's knee with clear intent to injure a couple of years back, but it's still a shame to see this happen to anyone.

Hopefully Suggs can make a full recovery. On the bright side for Baltimore, this is Kindle's and Upshaw's chance to step up. It's not like they have a lack of young talent at the position.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I am sure that Ravens fans were utterly devastated by Wes Welker's knee injury in '09 and Brady's in '08.

That said, I would rather him be healthy than not. No joy. Just... OK, tough break, chit happens.

 

[kudzif]

I do not wish for Suggs or any other player to get hurt , but i won't pretend that i am cut up about it. I do hope though that he comes back fully fit.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Wasn't he Defensive Player of the Year ? Tough loss for Baltimore, he's a great player. Don't like his big mouth, but I'd be thrilled if Chandler Jones and/or Jeff Bequette can become as good as him. I hate to see guys get hurt, though I don't remember other teams feeling bad when we lost half our secondary and Andre Carter to injuries.

Seeing as Baltimore literally always makes excuses after a loss, I'd rather have the easier game.

 

[ProudestRyno]

Suggs is out for the year...


Good. If there's any player that deserves it, it's him.

It's a crying shame, it really is
