Imaging is only as good as the actual cuts and whoever is reading the film. Appendix don’t burst, they don’t pop like a ballon. If the infection is contained within the appendix it’s a same-day operation and you can go home that day. If the infection spreads through the wall of the appendix and into the abdominal cavity it’s called a ruptured appendix but it’s not like a bomb went off in your abdomen and blew appendix parts all over. If the infection gets to the abdomen it can get real bad, so you need to be on IV antibiotics for a couple days. In your case, your rupture was probably caught early (happens often) and didn’t have enough time to inflame the surrounding tissue and show up on the CT. They probably saw a little puss leaking when they visualized your appendix. Von’s injury wasn’t a complete tear so didn’t show up on MRI well. When they got in there and tugged on it, it probably looked like a skinny wet noodle and was very loose.

I noticed this too. What did the Bengals do schematically to take Kelce away so effectively? I’m not a film dude I’m a watch TV from my couch dude

Just thinking of this year, his season was over even if he didn’t tear the ACL. I posted when they put him on IR that he was going to get scoped to see how bad that meniscus tear was. If it just needed to be trimmed he could have been back for the playoffs. We know from the report that the lateral meniscus “moved” and needed to be put back. That’s BS. You don’t just push it back into place. It’s either shaved smooth or repaired. We now know Von had a large tear in the lateral meniscus and wasn’t going to be back for the playoffs anyway. If you repair the meniscus (which I bet they did since he was going to be non weight bearing from the ACL repair anyway) it’s 4-6 weeks non weight bearing before you even begin the rehab. His season was over, the MRI just gave us false hope. None of this make anything any better, just giving you guys a little insight. BTW you can’t just tighten up an ACL in a pro athlete. He got a new (probably cadaver) graft so he’s on the normal post-ACL rehab cycle which means most of next season if this isn’t a career ender.

Yes Beck, we all get it. Your sphincter got real tight when Josh jumped in the air. You’d prefer he didn’t do it. Got it. Every year Josh says about some run he makes “Gotta be a little smarter” and guess what, the next year he leaps for a first down, doesn’t get hurt despite your frame by frame analysis. As I said, as time goes on and he matures I think we will see less and less of that. But for now, gotta take the good with the scary. Personally I’d rather he lowered a shoulder in that situation or even slid, but that’s not how Josh is. Hopefully he’ll get smarter about when he takes the risks as he gains experience, but he’s always going to take them.

Josh said it himself, he’s a football player. He always plays better after he get that first hit, you can see it easily. Josh dishes out more punishment on his runs than he takes. It’s been 5 years now, he hasn’t gotten hurt on a run. His injuries to his elbow were both in the pocket. Lamar got hurt running from the pocket. This part of his game is integral to who he is as a QB right now and we don’t want to change that. As he matures I bet you’ll see fewer scrambles because he has the head for the game already has been successful throwing from the pocket. When you have a horse, you have to let him run

Highest wining percentage in franchise history. Anyone calling for a change at HC (and there are a bunch in this board) should be laughed at and ridiculed

Last couple games it finally seems like the refs are calling PI/Holding on Sauce Gardner. I’ve never seen a rookie get so much preferential treatment from the refs. This guy physically assaults receivers on the regular and has been getting away with it from the beginning. In the last couple games it seems like they’ve been flagging him and Lo and Behold! , he starts giving up catches. Funny how that works. WIll be interesting to see if the trend continues.

Only way he signs here is if Beane thinks he can contribute for the playoffs this year and he comes on a team friendly deal

Banged up has really crapped the bed a lot this season. I know he’s trying to make a name like Chao is but man has he been OFF. He completely misread and boggled the Josh Allen situation so now he’s trying to cover all possibilities i.e. Phillips “I didn’t really see exactly where the injury occurred, but I’ll speculate that he could be dead, might have a rotator cuff injury, or maybe a mild sprain and the shoulder harness is just playing it safe. He might be back next week, or his season could be over. We will see if he practices” Thanks “Doc”. He’s best when he describes an injury after it’s been revealed what the injury really is since his experience is as a physical therapist even though he calls himself “Doctor”. Yeah yeah I know he has a PhD but so does Jill Biden.

Gabe will be fine he just needs to hit the juggs machine a bit more. If he just caught the passes that hit him in the hands we wouldn’t be having this conversation. His drops are an issue but he can overcome it.

He’s only 19, he still has a lot of room to grow! McBean love them some Edmunds. I’ve been saying it for years, he will get extended at a much higher AAV than many posters think. The good news is, we will have years more of Edmunds as a whipping boy and we can enjoy these threads after every game when he’s making 18 mil a year!

Fock the Pats* and their entire bandwagon jackoff fanbase including every Boston media personality/ex player on TV/ and especially NFL Player of the Week ESPN “HITS” stat dominator Teddy Douchski. I live in NE, there has been ZERO Pats talk the last few years. Biggest bandwagon fans in history. Remember, they were almost the Hartford Patriots before Brady came along, that’s how little this fanbase supports their franchise. There are a few intelligent die hards who know who Steve Grogan was, I’ll admit, and I can have an actual football conversation with them. But the majority of them and especially the ex-players are garbage. The only thing better than a Bills win is a Pats* loss. Maybe after 15 more year of Bills domination I’ll ease off but until then I’ll delight in every loss, every Belichek screw up (and I have a lot of respect for The Hoodie’s coaching acumen, the cheating not so much). I hope Mac RAAG AHHM Jones is their QB for years to come. I LOVE that they are going to be near .500 for the foreseeable future because they will never improve and GM Bill will pick a small school long snapper with his first round pick anyway. I love watching/listening to homer announcers like Zolack be slowly, excruciatingly dragged in to the realization that their franchise is becoming garbage and they are looking at a decade or more of irrelevancy. Love it!

I called out Dorsey a lot the last couple weeks. He really stepped up. Motion, formations, personnel, play calling all were in sync and effective. Josh looks like Josh again Cook is starting to take over Defense got a lot of pressure with 4 even without Von Quesenberry may suck at pass blocking but he’s a warrior and I respect him

He’s going to get a scope and get that meniscus trimmed He can come back in 4 weeks from that with a clean knee for the playoffs

I’m really beginning to think Dorsey is the problem. Yeah, he’s learning on the job, I get it. He needs to turn it around starting tonight. We have enough offensive talent, he just needs to do a better job of scheming them open especially those not named Diggs. This offense was much more dynamic with Daboll calling the plays, and the ball was spread around to more players. Knox didn’t disappear because he sucks. Josh didn’t forget how to throw deep crossers or shorter passes over the middle. Singletary doesn’t bench himself after the first quarter. Dorsey is the issue. I’m not saying he can’t get better, I just hope he does real quick or the division is in jeopardy and we will be competing for a wild card spot.

New Englands LBs are thumpers. They are slow as hell an can’t move laterally at all. If Dorsey doesn’t devote a chunk of the game plan to exploiting this obvious mismatch we have here (Knox, McKenzie, Cook, Hines, even MIA Shakir) I’m going to go from “he’s learning on the job” to “he doesn’t know what he’s doing”. Even if you keep a guy in to chip Judon, you’ve still gotta put those statues in conflict. NE has a great pass rush. The screen game should make an appearance for once this season. Draws up the middle that Dorsey loves won’t be there, these LBs can stop the run. We need to pin and pull to the outside with Cook. I think he’s the guy who could really tee off this game. I think Josh’s legs on a few designed runs and when NE plays man will be huge. What I hope we don’t see is running Singletary into the gut of the defense for a quarter then giving up. A game-plan that has Josh holding the ball for 3 seconds hoping for someone to get open. Diggs not getting any targets until the second quarter.

Gabe is a victim of fan expectations like the team is as a whole right now. We wanted him to take the next step, he hasn’t done that yet. His drops in critical situations magnify the issue. I think he’s a serviceable #2 right now, would like him to make the leap to solid #2. He will never be a 1b receiver many here anticipated.

I hate Vrabel and the scumbag Titans. They have that Pats* stench on them. I'm glad they lost on a stupid meathead penalty. Burrow is meh

I totally agree. So we have to keep grinding W’s until we get as healthy as possible for the playoff push. Even Hyde isn’t off the table (although I’d be shocked if he played this year)

It’s good to have our destiny in our own hands. If we go out there and take care of business, we win the East and the #1 seed is in play. It’s going to be a dogfight until the end instead of the cake walk it looked like at the beginning of the season. That’s ok, a battle hardened team in the playoffs is what you need. We just have to get there.

Wilson is never seeing the field again for the Jets Although White just got receiver Wilson killed. Hospital ball

It's about time. Gardner tackled him the entire route

Gardner is on the NFLs no flag list. That guy holds and interferes constantly and never gets called. I don't get why he's a golden boy already

The Jets OC scheming up multiple wide open receivers with Mike friggin White. Dorsey better wake the F up, maybe have a play or 2 where Josh doesn't have to hit a window smaller than the Death Star chute. These guys aren't a bunch of pro bowlers and they are wide open.

That red zone pick was as much on Dorsey as it was on Josh. I could see that play coming from my couch, the Lions knee exactly what was coming. Josh could have thrown it a little higher but still, ask the Pats* how easy it is when you know what offensive plays are coming. Dorsey is too predictable right now.
