This and Edward’s injury sucks. What is prognosis for patella tendon injury long term? Trapillo was really getting better and giving me hope we had solved LT. 

Depends where it was torn. At either bone attachment, it an easy fix and there will be no issues. In the middle, it a more difficult repair but still most likely no significant issues in the future.

I trust you ptatc. There was people on X saying he will not be the same again cuz its a less than 50% success rate and 20% full recovery for a torn patella tendon.

Yeah ptact - best news I’ve heard in a while. What sort of recovery time? Only thing I’ve heard is he ruptured his patella tendon.

On paper, a 6-12 month rehab process doesn’t seem that bad. But a USA TODAY article from this past season, which included data from the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine, indicates most players only have about a 55% chance to return to the field, and that usually only happens with a significant decrease in performance. Only about 21% of players return to their prior performance within two years.

Yeah hes a big boy. Hopefully this is as clean of a version or whatever is most minimal of a severe injury. Have to presume fact he is young helps in this scenario. Guy is huge and was definitely ascending.

Josh Allen to the medical tent

This was looking like his best opportunity for a Super Bowl.

Josh Allen is back out there. He isn’t going to age well in my opinion. Huge dude who takes a ton of abuse. Too much at times.

He also has 0 excuses anymore. No Mahomes, no Lamar, no Burrow in the playoffs. If you can't get it done... you are not that guy.

He is getting his ass kicked today

Its going to be long. Good bet he misses most if not all next year. Again depends on if it ruptured from the vone or in mid-substance.

That data seems a little low. I wonder if they looked only at NFL or if they included all levels. Need to dig into it. In my experience, its higher than that.

[SoCalChiSox]

Need Jacksonville to win, so we can avoid Buffalo in the 2nd round. 

Both of these teams would own us (Jacksonville already did) but I'd like at least a reasonable chance to win a playoff game in the divisional round. 

Pittsburgh would be the most ideal opponent.

[SoxAce]

Well Trevor Lawrence certainly ain't Caleb Williams in the clutch.

[almagest]

Jags are my second team now, though it's more of a passive following. Jags defense really blew this one - guy wide open 30+ yards down the field set up a touchdown. Can't give up those plays when you have a late lead. Very Packers-esque.

[SoCalChiSox]

Dammit....we likely get the Bills in the 2nd round unless the Chargers upset the Patriots.

Likely a loss either way. 

[SoxAce]

So if the Eagles win, they play the Bears. If the 49ers win, the Bears play the Rams. 

I like the Bears chances more against the Eagles but f*** Philly and their fans. So I guess bring on the Rams.

I so badly want the Rams here!

Anything specific you like about that matchup? The rams offense vs the bears defense feels like a nightmare scenario to me.

One of their defensive starters is a guy I know from my hometown.  Great kid.

I would assume weather related

Rams have seemed very beatable recently but stafford would just throw 600 yards against us.

Every team is tough, have hard time believing Eagles would let us run all over them again.

George Kittle might've just blown his achilles.
