Better for them to get injured and look ridiculous without helmets.
Mark Kelso was ridiculed but he had only 1 more concussions with "Pro-Cap" helmet which was due to knee to head.

The NFL isn't the one standing in the way of a lot of 'safety' improvements. It's the players themselves. They have rejected previous improvements to equipment because they worry it may cost them an iota of performance and this money.
The NFL mandates the protection. If you don't want to wear addded head protection. Sign a waver releasing the NFL from any responsibility should a head injury occur.

Players made some comments that they don't like them (bulky, feel top heavy) as they look ridiculous. They have to make the look and feel more palatable first.
Yes sir, I understand. They need to get past how it looks IMO. Its very possible a new helmet design could add protection along with reducing weight IMO. Slim line it some. I think by the time you put the team logo on the exterior it wouldn't look so out of place IMO.
So we can avoid stories like this

Some of you may remember having discussions on TBD about this type of added protection being applied to the exterior of a helmet many years ago. My hope is enough testing has been done to conclude its time to put this new helmet technology to the real test during the regular season. At the very least allow NFL players to wear them If they so choose. Tua for instance.
Cleat design change needs testing
Getting good traction without causing injury is a balancing act many teams are having a problem with including the Buffalo Bills. I wanted to bring this possible design change into the publics eye. It is my belief that a spike that is smaller in diameter and flexible will achieve better traction without increasing the chance of injury. Flexibility would allow the spike to bend with the force being applied and release from the playing surface easier. Everyone has pitched a tent. You know the angle the stakes need to be in to work. If you put them in the ground the opposite way they would pull out easy. Flexible spike would work the same way when force is applied. >>>/// Allowing for better traction with a deeper spike without increasing the chance of injury IMO.

One team on the up, and one that has plateaued.
Without even seeing our best Defensive player in the playoffs in Von Miller and considering all the other obstacles the Bills faced I think leveling off is a fair assessment.
The Bills are a better football team then we seen vs Cinci without making any changes on the roster IMO.

This team is destined to win a Championship IMO

Not sure I see any controversy. Sad. Unfortunate. Sure
Controversial more in the no gun vs more gun argument perhaps and where I almost put this shooting.
Why does the perp have the knowledge she's carrying and an ability to grab for the weapon.
What does she mean by trying to help him.
(On a side note I want to say its very possible by the time the 3rd shot was fired that the perp was just holding on for dear life.)

Being shot and killed by the gun you try to steal to go on and carry out more criminal acts with gives a valuable and possible life saving lesson in my humble opinion.
Allow this mans life and death struggle save lives.

I’m not sure what you meanIf someone goes after your weapon Is wounding an option by way of training ? Or does it require an immediate deadly force response. If you don't mind my asking. I can understand If it does. Thanks
I found the answer in this article, you are trained to shoot center mass.

The only controversial bit for me is how long she waited to delete him.
Additionally she’s under no obligation to give him medical attention or do anything except make sure he doesn’t try doing dumb ***** again unless she is 100% damn sure that the threat has ended.So woundings not sufficient enough? Now I realize in this instance it probably wasn't possible. Generally speaking.
With all due respect @LeviF
As an actual Police Officer responding to this scenario I understand If you care not to elaborate. Thanks

I am uncomfortable with the whole thing but I can't state that she absolutely should have done X. He started it by jumping her from behind and her first task is to make sure he is not a threat others
You could also hear her say let go after the last shot was fired which indicates he never stopped going for the gun unfortunately IMO.

What would you have done differently in her shoes? Is this the type of police officer mentality we need on the streets?
Calling for an ambulace and giving medical attention is at the top of my list of things not done correctly.

Most championship teams - in any sport - needed some luck along the way. I would contend that we've gotten very little, if any.
Last year, the Niners dropped an easy INT in the NFCCG that would have basically sealed that game for them. The Bengals were also kind of lucky to be there, given how KC gave the AFCCG away. This year, the luck went against the Bengals, with some very questionable calls in the KC game, and went KC's way, with a soft call at the end of the game that prevented the Eagles from getting a chance to tie or win the game in the last 2 minutes.
And you can go back to just about any SB. Once in awhile, there is a juggernaut, and luck isn't as needed. But usually, luck plays a big part - and I'd argue we haven't had much. From our top 4 receivers all being injured in the AFCCG 2 years ago, to the coin toss last year, to all of the crazy situations this year.
So many things have to happen to win a SB. You need a great team - but you also need a few breaks.
My luck would come in the form of magic, Fitzmagic to be exact. The 5th most intelligent athlete on the planet. Gailey Offense memorized.
Didn't want to become a backup to Josh Allen because it might jinx him. Who even does that?
Hell with that line of thinking Fitz!!!!

“Coaching changes”
“Anything related to the Bills”
Two different statements, suggesting that two different answers may be required.
I don’t think he’s said anything publicly that indicates unhappy about “anything related to the Bills” or coaching changes/lack of coaching changes. With how the season ended, sure.
I have no idea what he’s said to teammates - how would I know?
For that matter, how would you know?
How do you think Ken Dorsey matches up with Andy Reid? All our innovation went out the door with Daboll. Why do you think Diggs is so angry? Its the QB, the OC, or both since their joined at the hip now. I knew this was a mistake. We did the same damn thing not replacing Ted Marchibroda for Kelly...

Except they absolutely are. So there’s that…To me it was just another way saying be like the Champions for Josh and he would have probably given the same answer had the Eagles won IMO. Eagles formula on O is a better match for Josh's skill set IMO.
GM Beane needs to think every night before falling asleep. Eagles Oline, Eagles Oline,
Like big sheep, Eagles Oline, Eagles Oline...

Didnt watch it. Were they not tied off, as in wearing a upper body harness and having a lanyard attached to that harness, and the other end of the lanyard attched to a secure point on the platform? Have seen some pics of the show, but not close up shots. Can't imagine that OSHA rules would have been ignored, but who knows, the NFL is pretty powerful.
It appeared Rihanna was tied off, but looked like some of the backup dancers didn't have a safety harness on to me.
