Dunno bout easily. Hopefully we win both games but I'm expecting 1-1.

I'm hoping they are extra cautious with him. I don't care if he's back for game one or game four. I want him healthy when he does come back or he'll be dealing with that thing all year. He wants to be out there and they want him out there. Just don't rush it.

Diagnosis can be wrong, even with the patient right there in front of the doctor.

Haha "a guy" lol

He's a doctor, elite reputation, excellent track record of accuracy and was the Chargers lead doc for years. He has zero agenda or narrative to push. Just facts.

Bosa may play week one, but he will not be 100% with that verified high ankle.

Well I think Ny85 is right. How does a doctor correctly diagnose without examining the patient? Having said that, I think one of the reasons Kyle's waffling on Bosa playing that first game is to just throw off the Buc's coaching staff, to make them work extra to figure out what to throw at Kyle from an offensive standpoint. Anytime you make it harder for the opposing coaches, that's always a plus for your side.

He doesn't need to diagnose. Bosa has already been diagnosed.

Yes,...Lynch already gave it to us.

So why is this quarrel still going on??

Bro, I have no idea why people are so afraid to say "high ankle" when literally everybody who would know has said "high ankle". It's not terminal cancer. He will get better.

I wouldn't put much of a credence on winning the first couple of games. A lot of teams come out of the starting gate on fire and fizzle out in the end. 1988 we were 6-5 in week 11 and beat the Bungles in the Super Bowl that year.

You never write off another teams home opener. Lots of fun getting two of them again this year .

I'm sorry but who verified that he had a high ankle?

Lynch said there were some high ankle components. Who knows what that means? You can't simply say "some high ankle components = full blown high ankle"

It's like saying that any bone fracture = bone is shattered and comes through the skin.

Doctors cannot make accurate estimates without seeing the information. Hearing blurbs isn't a way to give a proper analysis. Do you have your physical over the phone?

We have no idea about the actual injury outside of it being to his ankle. I find it odd that initial reports said the injury wasn't serious and then suddenly it seems to grow in severity with every day...by Friday it may be amputation worthy.

I know exactly who he is...I follow him on twitter and have listened to him on podcasts.

HE DOES NOT have access to his file/MRI something he likes to put out there all the time when discussing injuries. Again did he have Garrett missing a month, Johnson not missing any game days, or Jamaal Charles missing only a week (all with "high ankle sprains")

He can make an educated guess, which is fine. He didn't see the injury nor does he have all the info needed to make anything other than that though. That's my pt.
