We HAVE TO beat Oakland they are the worst of the 3

The Buffalo Bills O-line is a bunch of riff raff you've never heard of.. Meanwhile they gave enough time yesterday to allow the Amish Gunner aka Ryan Fitzpuketrick to put up 38 points.

We should win next week in a laugher.

I don't know what's better. It's an enjury to our 2nd best player. U acting like it's no big deal is ridiculous. Hopefully some steps up and plays well. I'm not confident the way we've playing.

His leg didn't go Willis Mcgahee.. it's a sprain.. it's serious but Mangold is Hillbilly tough.. he should be out there for NE in a couple weeks.

In the meantime next week I'll watch our guys enjoying Oscar Mayers on the sidelines in the middle of the 3rd 1/4 during another 28 point drubbing.

Tough loss, but I don't think Mangold will be out for long. He's a C, not a LB or DB who has to run around alot.

It's all about further injury and pain threshhold as to when he comes back.

At least Baxter gets more practice reps.

and I was kidding about throwing Vlad out there against the Ravens.. Vlad would get Sanchez, Brunell, and O'connell all killed... dead.

He is. That's why I referred to pain threshhold, which Mangold reportedly has a high one. It's about making it worse. Can he go out there, perform, and not make it worse. If that's the case then he'll be back in 2 weeks the latest.

With this injury, it's not about pain threshold, it's about the ligament being strong enough to support the weight, and the fact is that this is an injury that CAN get worse if not healed properly.

I'll be mildly surprised if he's back before the San Diego game in Week 7 and shocked if he's back before Miami in week 6.

Hope I'm wrong, though.

If playing can make it worse, then of course he'll sit out longer. We'll just have to see.

If it's a sprain, there's ligament damage by definition. That's what a sprain is. The fact that there is no structural damage means the ligament is not "torn" and the bone structure of the ankle is OK. If the ligament was torn, he would probably require surgery and probably about 6 months on the shelf, so that's the good news.

A high ankle sprain is caused by a twisting injury to the ankle, usually while it is flexed with the foot turned out excessively. The ligaments injured in a high ankle sprain are more subject to higher forces than those ligmants injured in a common ankle sprain and the amount of rest required for healing tends to be much longer than a "common" ankle sprain.

Wrap that baby up tight, shoot him full of cortisone and send Mangold back out there on Sunday.

yeah, I mean what's all the panic about?

a few years ago during a pick up b-ball game I landed awkwardly and twisted my ankle high, low, and in between. wanna know how many days I was out of the office? Zero... nada.

I bravely limped to my cubicle and did everything that was asked of me.. and that was without a team of trainers and 16 hour a day treatment.

my expectation is 4-5 weeks, maybe longer.

another player might take 6-8 weeks for a high ankle sprain but Mangold will be going nuts in rehab and him at 85% is better than most guys 100% and he will probably get back a little early. probably not early enough for Pats or Ravens

the high ankle sprain is a tricky injury. It's usually not something that shortens your career in the long term but it can be if you rush back to soon. Mangold is on a long term deal the Jets doctors won't be butchers in this case.

This is most definitely concerning, but as of right now, I'm just thankful that it's not a serious knee injury, ala, being out for the season.

As a fan base, we have to take it one game at a time. The Raiders are up next, and we have to beat these guys in Oakland without Mangold; it's as simple as that.

Mangold has been, and is still one of the most important players on our offense, I rank him right up there with D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Mark Sanchez in regards to overall importance, but not every team has been blessed with an all-world/all-pro type of center such as the Jets have been, but that doesn't change the fact that these teams still have to compete and win on Sundays without great centers.

No excuses. The Patriots lost Dan Koppen, they still went out there and beat SD yesterday. Now it's the Jets turn to play without a great center, but you know what? Mangold doesn't make this team. We have to move on without him for the time being. Hopefully he's back for the Patriots game, but if not... The Jets will move on. Thank god for our defense.

I think it's simply wrong to suggest that an Olineman would miss upwards of 6 games to a high ankle sprain. Olineman play with broken hands, knee sprains, and various other ailments. I've really never heard of an OLineman missing over a 1/3 of a season from a high ankle sprain.

Heck, Curtis Martin played a whole season with a high ankle sprain.

I think this is a 2 week injury tops. Olineman are different. They don't sit up a bunch of games for these types of injuries.

There is no way they will keep him out 6 weeks. They're having a hard enough time getting him to sit out this week.
