I think there is a huge difference between everyday Joe-Shmoe making an observation, and then some so-called med student parading his credentials around, claiming to be an expert, and then getting the diagnosis wrong (assuming the Pats statement is true).
Anyway, getting back to the injury, my initial thought was a broken bone too, but most of us saw that game a year (or two) ago when Tedy was bent backward (I think it was against the Eagles). I was sure it was a torn ACL. The guy is crazy flexable.
