Amazing how the outlook of a season can change.

So how do we set our starting 5 now?

So Jenkins goes to LT?

I mean what does our Oline even look like?

Jenkins, Runyan, Linsley, Patrick, Turner?

Assuming Wagner can go, I might like Billy Turner at LT the best. Also OK if they slide Jenkins out.

I guess Wagner is a big deal now.

I would presume it will be the following:

Turner, Jenkins, Lindsley, Patrick, Wagner

Let alone we are paying Bak a crap ton and now have to find an alternative for both LT and RT now for the next 12 months.

I mean I think we are all hopeful. But this likely will be the end of it.

WOW, what are you practicing at this point of the season that requires 100% effort, this seems so senseless, ehhhhhh.

I don't think we should necessarily write off the entire 2021 season for Bak yet.

We got Khalil Mack this Sunday.

Hopefully now we don't have the Bucs but honestly the Saints have a great pass rush too.

I don't feel confident for any January matchups any longer. Hopefully Turner gives us confidence this Sunday.

He'll be PUP'd and will likely play around Thanksgiving or early December in 2021.

It'll be a LT and a TE over there now, I think. Thankfully we have more than one good blocking TE. I also think this means more Williams, as he is by far our best pass protecting RB.

No one in the NFC scares me, even with Bak out.

I think we will be ok. Huge blow but this team can adjust

I completely disagree that this ends it for us. Even with Bak out, we've got a pretty good OL that we've played with already this year and it didn't hurt us one bit. Let's use this moment to rally the troops.

Besides, our defense just unlocked the code last week so we'll only need 21 PPG from the offense in the playoffs.

Now let's go whip the Bears ass in honor of Bak.

Yeah, my thoughts as well. I was actually just thinking a few days back about the notable lack of a star player on the IR and kinda figured we may have been due one. The universe likes balance.

Don't get me wrong, this sucks, but championship teams overcome big losses like this every year, and we already have an idea of how to live without Bakh at LT (inconvenient, but manageable).

You don't need 100% effort to tear an ACL. Just happens sometimes. Sucks big time. Hoping Wagner isn't too bad. But we can survive a game without him too.
