I guess that speaks tons to the confidence the defense has inspired because I think that they will keep the game winnable, and if they feel they need to put the team on their shoulders, that might make them even more hyped than last week, if that's possible.

Re: the bolded, we're just not doctors. We can't play armchair doctor with any reasonable credibility.

We can play armchair GM or armchair coach, but armchair doctor is something altogether different.

With some, you could still be in a lot of pain but have no greater risk of reinjuring than any other player does of injuring a healthy body part.

With others, you could have tolerable pain, but instability in the joint or muscle that leads to a greater probability of reinjury.

Have to leave it to the medical pros and trust they'll make the wise call.
