I wish!

Two weeks out and no issues at all. I think people misconstrue the term mitigation. Masks aren’t perfect not are they a guarantee. If we all wear them and do so correctly they, along with other mitigating strategies, will severely limit spread.

Two weeks out, no issues whatsoever.

And people say the same thing about Indiana, but they din’t. And they don’t in Cali. I guarantee it.

Nope. The virus is transmitted primarily by droplet and aerosol. The masks catch that before it happens. I know you think everyone is wearing masks and wearing them correctly, but that is not the case, at least as I see where I live. And this virus is extremely contagious; it doesn’t need much of a crack in the door to get through. Went to the grocery store today. While in the checkout line I counted two people without masks and 10 with them pulled down away from their nose and/or mouth. And that’s why we can’t win the war.

One of the best of the AFL days. So sad to see he’s gone.

Looking for any kind of an excuse to bash the coach is pathetic. Beasley got hurt because he ran a pattern and took a bad step trying to make a catch. How many hundreds if not thousands of patterns has he run this year? It’s football, it happens. And if he had an injury requiring surgery they’d have done it by now. Calm the hell down.

All the potential AFC playoff teams are good. But the Bills and Chiefs are each on another level right now. I don’t care who we play round 1, we’ll be favored and for good reason.

Got it. My bad.

I do all the above. I am helping the economy especially by frequenting small businesses in my community. I have had my normal income all year; give my share to a small business trying to stay afloat or a family having trouble feeding their kids. And you want pass judgment on me? Look in the mirror.

Glad you’re seeing that. I try to do my part as well

We have lost the concept of society. We have lost the concept of helping our fellow man. It’s pathetic.

I disagree with just sending $2000 to everyone. I have been working through the pandemic, and have not lost any income. People like me don't need it; I'd rather you increase it to $5000 and give it to struggling small businesses and families where the breadwinners became unemployed.

You can't even quote yourself accurately. You said Beasley is done, with absolutely nothing to back that up. There was a lot of discussion here last night, and an orthopedic surgeon and fellow fan even said he has no way of knowing just yet.

Prove a negative. Brilliant. what the hell is wrong with you? We'll know soon enough. This kind of crap is ridiculous.

Would people just stop with this nonsense?

Well played.

As an orthopedic I would be interested in whether you think he plays in the first playoff game.

It’s just that you have a multiple page thread of panicked fans. No reason to make it worse. We’ll know soon enough.

Then you should know not to speculate, right?

Please quit talking in definitives when nothing is definitive. Just trying to offer clarification

Innervation is supply of nervous tissue to an area; it has nothing to do with blood supply. You are referring to blood flow or to use another term, perfusion. The peripheral parts of the meniscus can get direct blood flow; the majority (around 70%) of the meniscus gets O2supply and such from the synovial fluid within the joint. One of the reasons microfracture surgery is used to treat cartilage damage is it promotes blood flow to areas that are avascular normally, and brings in progenitor cells that can help generate new tissue. The meniscus act as a sort of shock absorber inside the joint. If (let me repeat IF!!!) he sustained a meniscus injury such as a tear then they could scope him to remove the fragment. They haven’t done that. If it’s a lateral or medial collateral ligament sprain they treat the swelling and such and maybe put him in a brace. I suspect - SUSPECT - if they though it was an ACL or PCL he’d have had an MRI today. Thexanswer is there is no answer yet. Reckless guesses just panic people innecessarily.

I’m an adult, and have a doctorate in Anatomy. The term you were looking for was blood supply, not innervation. The blood supply to the meniscus is pretty limited and primarily through the synovium. No one in this thread can diagnose what what happened to him based on the replay, or the few seconds of the sideline shot with the trainers. So we all should quit guessing.

Anatomy professor here. Was going to ask the same thing.

It’s a we’ve shown you over and over again and you won’t believe fact response. Let’s go over the things we’re asked to do and apply it to the playoff game: 1. Wear masks. I am quite sure that will be mandatory for the playoff game. 2. Distance. The 6700 is a tenth of the capacity of the Ralph. That allows for spacing or, put another way, distancing. 3. Any gatherings should be limited in number and preferably outside. Limited in number -see above. As for outside, last time I checked no one had slapped a dome over the Ralph. 4. Hand washing. You want to place bets on how many sanitizing stations will be there? I don’t know this for sure, but I would be willing to bet tailgating will be eliminated or at minimum severely curtailed in the lots operated by the team. Your act is old and tired. All experts in the field say that these mitigating strategies, if used by all, would significantly stop viral spread. But they’re not. People are either not wearing masks or wearing them improperly. People are congregating inside in poorly ventilated spaces. You know it; quit pretending you don’t.
