i'm just reading through the game thread now. reading through with you guys may have done more to ease/slow down my fears as it seems it took a few posts to figure it was the ACL.
i saw him walking gingerly then throw himself down after the play, and then they showed the replay of the non-contact knee buckle preceding it right before. i automatically resigned to it being an ACL injury and i actually left where i was watching the game after that, i was no longer interested lmao. i was disgusted, the team is cursed.
even if it's not an ACL, you can argue the team is still cursed. like some of you have already mentioned, this is the brightest outlook we've had for a team in years. we lose our young OT this past week. we come out tonight, and zach's in for, what, 3 plays? with one of those being a bad interception and the other a feared season-ending injury. now we hope he can rehab from something less serious like a PCL injury and at the same time improve/get better from how poorly he looked tonight (acknowledging it was an extremely small sample size). we can say every team goes through it's downs but i honestly don't think every team goes through excrement like this. that's not normal
