3rdand12 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) I am completely for sites that allow freedom of expression and freedom from censorship. However it would be nice if people could occasionally self edit. The threads do get unwieldy in a hurry But usually an impressive amount of important Bills news gets told here first and that's what it's all about. I would hope you are able to sift through the posts and get your hard data as needed. I think the board offers a wide range of info , opinion , arguments , discussion and then some of us busting balls about obtuse comments such as; "They shoot horses don't they " Which was a book . Commenting on putting down lame horses and applying it conceptually to humans. Thank gosh we do not do that around here.

Big Blitz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Optimistic take: We could have 3 first round picks playing their first games for us next season.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So when Ohio State faces Middle Nebraska Tech in their first game, that's not effectively a preseason game? What's the old college saying ' you improve the most between your first and second games'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have an online GED/MD from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, and it's in my esteemed opinion that Ragland will be fine. He just needs to walk it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Haha unfortunately that's how i see it too. But of course you do. Hey, it's probably Brandon who insisted the lid be kept on a season ending injury for fear losing our 2nd round LB would impact ticket sales.

Nanker Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'll take trim over surgery every time. Especially when there's swelling involved.

Nervous Guy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Clinical, MRI, and arthroscopic correlation in meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament injuries The aim of this prospective study was to compare and correlate clinical, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and arthroscopic findings in cases of meniscal tear and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. MRI scan results and clinical diagnosis are compared against the arthroscopic confirmation of the diagnosis. One hundred and thirty-one patients had suspected traumatic meniscal or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Clinical examination had better sensitivity (0.86 vs. 0.76), specificity (0.73 vs. 0.52), predictive values, and diagnostic accuracy in comparison to MRI scan in diagnosis for medial meniscal tears. These parameters showed only marginal difference in lateral meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament injuries. We conclude that carefully performed clinical examination can give equal or better diagnosis of meniscal and ACL injuries in comparison to MRI scan. MRI may be used to rule out such injuries rather than to diagnose them. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2899202/ There you go dummies.

White Linen Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Does anybody seek a 2nd opinion if they liked the first one? How is it called getting a second opinion when the first is an MRI that's inconclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 How is it called getting a second opinion when the first is an MRI that's inconclusive? Well, actually the Radiologist reads the images and gives a report to the orthopedic surgeon who analyzes the images, reads the report and forms his own opinion and recommends treatment options based on that analysis. So it could actually be a second or third opinion. That's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
