Jacoby Brissett Facing Surgery For Thumb [MOD EDIT: May not need surgery - who knows anymore]

[Tony2046]

Josh McDaniels probably could.

"Ah yes..... got it right here..... the ole ricochet play..."

 

[Tony2046]

So we're going to get 9 days of "my sources say..."

I'm not doing that again.

You might wanna switch her pager to vibrate.

Hahahaha good point. Opps.

Confused media does it again! I think it lies somewhere in the middle of OUT FOREVER and a few weeks starts next game.

fixed.

Bills fan: "If the Pats win with Edelman at QB, I will kiss BB's feet."

Me: "Can Rex watch?"

Rex might want to play too...

There was a closeup of JB on the sidelines where they were looking at JB's hand. Announcer at the time thought it was a fingernail. It didn't seem to cause JB any pain that I could see. He sure wasn't babying his hand giving high fives in the locker room after the game.

It totally sucks. But that being said, major props to Brissett! Most QBs would have made an obvious and big deal of it when it happened. Hell, anyone at any position would have. A torn ligament?! In a QBs hand which, even on running plays, is getting the snap. And with all that TV coverage last night, no one even saw Brissett wince. He's one tough...ah, dude.

Hey only read the first page here but I got a thought.

If Jimmy ain't ready, Jimmy ain't ready. I mean, that was my first guess too, "Well, no more hemming and hawing... it'll be Jimmy."

And you don't want to start Edelmensch if you can bring in a guy off the street. Because, I mean it would be cool and all, and people's fantasy teams would go nuts, but who's he throwing to, especially with Martellus Bennett and Chris Hogan competing in Celebrity Mumbly Peg this weekend, and that Mitchell guy a finalist in America's Got Straight-Razor Juggling Talent? Okay not really, but damn.

Sirrously, just pick up the phone. What's Drew doing next weekend?

Some classic stuff here already: http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread.php?532252-Brissett-Hurt

I'm developing a serious soft spot for bills fans. The news of jacoby being hurt just has them more depressed at the prospect of losing to the pats sans qb lol

I think chances are high that at least one of JG & Jacoby will start and possibly both are cleared for the Bills.

Would be goddamn hilarious if we ever decided to play Edelman and won. Even better than last night...but worst comes to worst I think they'd snag a guy like Flynn.

Screw the Madden Curse.. it's the Pats QB curse...

Watching the post game locker room video, it doesn't seem like Brissett's thumb is too serious. He was high fiving people with it, didn't seem to be favoring or protecting it at all.

I was just going to post this. I never saw so much as a flinch from him in all his interactions, handshakes, and back slaps. You can't do that if it was a bad they made it seem today.

The Bills are like that 3rd cousin on your mom's side of the family that talks a big game at weddings and other family functions but can't hold a job and always has an excuse for getting canned, always gets trashed and dates girls from Wal-Mart.

Uh....maybe thats just my family.

She was blind and deaf.

For those keen on seeing Edelman start as a QB, please remember that he threw more INT's than TD's in college.

A few hits of Flo OG will send that headache flying away with that big rainbow tree

I think it was just the adrenaline, once that wears off and after a good night of sleep you wake up in the morning with pain. I've had things like that happen to me, I didn't feel like my arm had a bad sprain until the following day.
