Von Miller Suspended Vs Seahawks

[Welshers2]

The league hit him with a 4 game ban yesterday for an alleged domestic violence incident. This means the final game of his suspension will be vs the Seahawks. Bills are a top team and that could help us to have one of their top guys out (though he isn't what he is used to be). Just something worth noting that will effect us in our game vs them. I'm unfamiliar with the appeal process though so he may be able to fight it.

Bills' Miller suspended 4 games for violating policy

Von Miller has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, stemming from allegations he assaulted his girlfriend last year.

Nah, he'll get it reduced.

That's what I'm worried about

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup. Star power often = reduced suspensions

 

[CouchLogic]

Holy crap, that guy is still playing?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It does seem like he's been in the league for 22 years

Didn't we just re-sign a Tackle that's been in the league 22 years?

Solid

I think our beleaguered o line just shut out Hutchinson and he was leading the league in sacks. V Miller? Psshh.

Let homey play us. Cant be scared of getting the other team's best. Will just have to put some domestic violence on his ass.

Isn't he a repeat offender? If so, I can't see it being reduced

Hutchinson's ten pressures on Monday night were the most any player has had in a game this season. We didn't exactly shut him down.

And we put up 500 plus yards of offense, 38 first downs, 75% completion.

Ok. So maybe without his 10 pressures we put up 600 yards. ... in that sense he had some affect.

Well, he's one player. Our defense was even worse, but I wouldn't concede that every one of our players was "shut down". If Myles Adams had produced ten pressures, this board probably wouldn't shut up about it.

It's not like we scored on every drive or even won the game. We very well could have made the game even closer if we hadn't let Hutchinson wreck so much havoc. Maybe we score on that late red zone trip and things go down to the wire as a result.

You can argue the offense overcame Hutchinson's efforts, but saying we "shut him down" is patently untrue. Would Von Miller, or some other Bills defender, creating a league season-high for pressures help our chances of winning that game?

At age 35, it's hard to know how much Von Miller has left in the tank. He does have 3 sacks this year, but he's not the old Von Miller from his Broncos days, or even when he was with the Rams. He's not the same game wrecker he used to be.

Still, I would rather that he didn't play. That Bill's defense had been pretty good until the Raven's game.
