Lofa Tatupu On Crutches

Did anyone

see Lofa limp off the field in any preseason games or practices?

It happened in tonight's game.

Though they didn’t show him limping off the field.

BTW they mentioned it being a high ankle sprain towards the end of the broadcast

Oh God NO

by BrianL on Aug 25, 2008 9:35 PM PDT up 0 recs

That means he's out anywhere from two weeks to two months

Assuming there’s no surgery involved.

I guess it’s better to have our team hurt now than in January?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hawthorne time

Ahhh, doom. It's like a warm blanket that comforts me.

A warm, smallpoxy, blanket.

This is somehow the Mariners fault.

Not that the M’s battled injuries this year, they just battled suck and bad luck. Either way, the negative product the M’s have created is oozing into Qwest field.

Putz, Bedard, Batista, Silva, Beltre?

Ms have had injuries.

by Matthew on Aug 26, 2008 8:33 PM PDT up 0 recs

Yes, but

the Beltre injury wasn’t a big deal, and the Batista and (especially) Silva injuries qualified as good

luck.

by The Ancient Mariner on Aug 27, 2008 8:12 AM PDT up 0 recs

You might consider that the reason Silva and Batista have been as bad as they have

is because they’ve been hurt. And you cannot say how Beltre’s injury has affected him.

by Matthew on Aug 27, 2008 9:38 AM PDT up 0 recs

considering that it isn’t true. They’ve been as bad as they have because they can’t get batters out by themselves, and they have a poor defense behind them (though it’s been better since Reed’s been in the mix). Some of it’s bad luck, but the fact is, they’re pretty luck-dependent for good results.

by The Ancient Mariner on Aug 27, 2008 11:04 AM PDT up 0 recs

Yeah, what was I thinking?

by Matthew on Aug 27, 2008 12:24 PM PDT up 0 recs

Obviously that you disagree.

by The Ancient Mariner on Aug 28, 2008 8:35 AM PDT up 0 recs

Here I was thinking the "There is no floor" meme only applied to the Mariners

Apparently it works for my entire life.

That's it, I'm only following DCI from here on out.

word is it's not serious

holmgren says “he should be ok”

we can only hope….

by Woodinville_12thMan on Aug 25, 2008 10:25 PM PDT 0 recs

please be telling us the truth Holmgren

by MFAN on Aug 25, 2008 10:29 PM PDT up 0 recs

and also

no ligament damage for sure

More information on Lofa's injury courtesy of the NFC West blog at ESPN.

Early indications seem to be that it’s not a high ankle sprain, but rather a knee injury. Clare Farnsworth over at the PI seems to think that it’s a bruise (much like what O’Neill reported earlier)

by BrianL on Aug 26, 2008 8:18 AM PDT 0 recs

Thats what the broadcast was originally saying

by Robert on Aug 26, 2008 10:08 AM PDT up 0 recs

The more I think about it

The more I really think we could be looking at a 6-10 season. The injury bug always hits us, and if I’m Holmgren, none of the starters play Friday.

Give me the home, where Buffalo roams, and watch Jones get a hundred yard game.

That's a little extreme.

Wow. I'm usually the most negative person here, but 6-10 doesn't seem at all likely.

I know there's no floor, but come on.

This is a team that has pretty good depth. If ’Beck’s back injury is something more severe, I’d be worried about the season, but frankly him not playing the last two games seems more precautionary than anything else.

Losing Lofa for a period of time would suck, but I don’t think it’s a complete season-breaker.

by BrianL on Aug 26, 2008 11:11 AM PDT up 0 recs

No.

You’re wrong.

6-10

wow…. everybody….this way…. overboard….

I'd like to kick Josh Brown in the privates!

THANK YOU!

Does that mean that you just reversed the reverse jinx?

Yes, so I'm reversing the reversing of the reverse jinx

Where have you been?

by Matthew on Aug 26, 2008 2:54 PM PDT up 0 recs

Lurking like a morlock

Between my recent move to Durham, NC and being in Eastern Washington for the better part of a week and a half I haven’t had a ton of time to sit around online in August. It hasn’t helped that I find the M’s completely unwatchable at this point. I have to admit that after a year of sports disappointments taking some time off has actually been something of a welcome break.

HURRY UP AND TAKE YOUR FUCKING MRI LOFA

I just want to know everything will be ok and I don’t have to cry myself to sleep.

preseason needs to be cut in half, pronto

But it’ll never happen, the greedy owners want that revenue.

BREAKING NEWS

Lofa is done for the season with a high ankle sprain as well as a partially torn ACL. Jose Miguel Romero said it needed immediate surgery after looking at the MRI.

Bad news strikes for the Seattle Seahawks, as Pro Bowl linebacker Lofa Tatupu is now done for the season after a partial ACL tear as well has a high ankle sprain. The high ankle sprain was noticed in the lockerroom in their game against San Diego on Monday, but doctors say the MRI revealed something more troubling

Absolutely sucks, why can’t we have good luck for once? This means Hill and Peterson have to step up their game, or we’ll be giving up 100 yard games routinely.

Give me the home, where Buffalo roams, and watch Jones get a hundred yard game.
