LABILLBACKER Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 He's injured every year. Another bad contract. He's the TE version of Goodwin.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Not an actual diagnosis based on examination. Didn't look good obviously.
YoloinOhio Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Hopefully it is less serious...this is just a doctor who watches the games opinion on the injury...but he probably is righthe is nearly always spot on. Would be lucky to escape with MCL sprain.
BmarvB Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 A fatal blow to a passing game that's getting nothing from the WR's
Big Turk Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 A fatal blow to a passing game that's getting nothing from the WR's Yeah its probably the worst injury next to McCoy that we could have had
GunnerBill Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) And while I am no doctor I have seen enough knee injuries in my years as a soccer coach I have a pretty good feel usually. It is a bit of a running joke with my friends that I can see a player leave a field with a knee injury and diagnose it just off watching the replay and be accurate at least 80% of the time. Â They are not hard to diagnose once you know what you are looking for. The doc quoted in the OP is almost always right. Edited October 8, 2017 by GunnerBill
Lurker Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 O'Leary played good today, and he's gotten better. I hope he can handle the starting job. Trouble is, no one's going to game plan for O'Leary....
Pbomb Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 i also thought the hit was dirty did u catch the glare back he gave after too. i hate the bengals, bunch of scumbag players
Big Turk Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Trouble is, no one's going to game plan for O'Leary.... Exactly.. O'Leary has turned into a dependable target but he isnt going to put up 5 for 112 like Clay could...
Marty McFly Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 A fatal blow to a passing game that's getting nothing from the WR's It def was, and is.
ksm27 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Ok yea the guy is injured and out for a few weeks but quit it with the quackery of deciding whether it's an MCL or ACL solely based on video replay. It's a waste.

It's a waste. Quackery? Did you read the guy's bio? 17 years as an NFL team doc is pretty impressive...
YoloinOhio Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Ok yea the guy is injured and out for a few weeks but quit it with the quackery of deciding whether it's an MCL or ACL solely based on video replay. It's a waste."likely" MCL.. "worry" for ACL... he didn't decide anything. And he absolutely knows what he's looking at. Like I said, he's nearly always right. And I only say nearly because I've never seen him get one wrong but not going to say I've seen all of his articles.
GunnerBill Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Quackery? Did you read the guy's bio? 17 years as an NFL team doc is pretty impressive... And as I say if you know what you are looking for with knees it isn't that hard. Once you understand how the knee works when you see it bent in a way it shouldn't be or over extended you can make an educated guess as to which ligament is under stress.
Dr.Sack Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Judging by the fact that he's had a chronic knee issue, has been rest days throughout his career, and sustained this injury as a direct result of from a lateral side hit, thereby bending the inside (medial) side of his knee inward its likely that he's sustained a MCL with meniscus damage, which could require microfracture surgery or removal of the meniscus making for more 'bone on bone' rubbing which will increase swelling and require even more rest days. You have a guy whose knee was a ticking time bomb.

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 This game had me feeling like everything was going to blow up. It didn't disappoint...Back to reality
YoloinOhio Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) This game had me feeling like everything was going to blow up. It didn't disappoint...Back to realityhaha I kind of felt same way. But I'll take 3-2 at the the bye with this team and it's injuries. I see progress. Edited October 8, 2017 by YoloinOhio
ksm27 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 No issue with a doctor making snap judgments based on video, and I'm sure he's going to be right about those judgments more than the average layperson. I stick to my point that it's still Dr. Oz - type quackery that made this doc popular online. And for the record, I'd let Dr. Oz perform heart surgery on me in a second, but I think half of what he says on tv is garbage.
