Bob Sanders done for year

by ctnyc on Nov 6, 2009 1:08 PM EST Comment 22 comments

Sweet jesus. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings once again, but I just saw Schefter on ESPN say that Bob has a torn biceps tendon that will require season-ending surgery. Don't know what else to say. What a horrible week. Go Bullitt. Thank god we can outscore people. This is getting f***ing ridiculous. Will Bob play for us again? Who knows. So much for the tremendous depth in our secondary. We still have excellent players, but the depth is pretty much gone....

Caldwell indicates that we don’t know how long Bob would have to be out, but Schefter is reporting the surgery as season-ending.

what the heck is going on.

and schefter by what i heard said if he needed surgery it would be season ending but he doesn’t know what injury at the time there was if any. if it is a bicep then that is the second player the other being Hagler to have that injury what the heck is going on

GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

WTH?!?!

I will be drinking heavily tonight. And tomorrow. And Sunday.

How can you not love a team that does this?

I'll be drinking Sunday too....

probably heavily,…..celebrating a Colts victory. Remember, we’ve been kicking serious butt up to this point in the season without those guys…..so I’m not so sure how big a deal it is. And, we get Gonzo and Hayden back in the fourth quarter of the season. Don’t panic everybody!

I mean,....how much has Gonzo, Sanders, Hayden, and Jackson

contributed so far to our undefeated season?

I'm at a loss for words.

Hang in there Lori

This game vs Houston will let us know if we should start to panic.

Quite honestly this doesnt surprise me at all...

Anymore I look at Bob playing as a luxury. All this does is make me look at his long term viability as a player on this team.

this whole week has felt like that

Just when you think its going to be ok this year with injuries…

I have a feeling that Bob Sanders and Marlin Jackson

Have played their last game for the Indianapolis Colts. Unless Jackson signs for real cheap and Sanders restructures his deal.

DID SOMEONE SAY CHAMPIONSHIP

by BROWNdude on Nov 6, 2009 1:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

I think Jackson will be gone

Sanders im sure will be more than willing to restructure.

by metal_militia on Nov 6, 2009 1:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Im with you

about Sanders. He loves this team and knows and this team knows how much of a playmaker he is. They will get this settled and 21 will be back next year

Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!

Lock the rest of the team up and don't let em

leave their rooms. Also, remove all sharp objects from their quarters. No running with scissors is allowed.

by tim55 on Nov 6, 2009 2:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

more importantly

lock them AWAY from the strength and conditioning staff

TWO torn biceps injuries in the same week? Sounds like nobody had them go through the proper stretching – ARGH!!!!

How can you not love a team that does this?

Sanders has to go or get restructured

In his 6 seasons as a player, he’s played in more than 6 games twice. Okay, he’s a great player when he plays, no doubt about that. But the question that always remains is will he play? Restructure his contract because in this league there’s no room for guys who hold their team at their mercy and should be allowed to get away with it.

What else is new. This dude has not been the same since the Super Bowl. I am glad he has not played a lot this season, because it gave the other guys a chance. Bob, I love you bro, but your too injury prone.
