Or maybe it was due to him playing hurt. Eventually he gave up and went on IR and did whatever he should have done back in September. But from the sound of it either way, he'd be out the rest of the year.

Pats need to lose one of their last two also to either Jets or Fish. If we win 3 of last 4 and lose Eagles game, we'd still win division then with 12 wins. If NE gets to 13 wins, we can't win the division.

1 Yeah surprising not more comments on Chase not being able to catch Benford. That was a bit surprising. 3 Not sure I'd call Johnson slipping on a snow covered field a mistake, just somethign that's part of the game. 4 Both teams were playing on the same field so hard to totally excuse it, but I'd think easier for a bigger heavier TE to get better footing on a snow covered field so may have been why Allen didn't really nook to WR much during the game. Bonus I'm guessing the Bills took too much time celebrating after the TD, they would have got called for a delay of game penalty on extra point, so he called TO?? When I was watching I was thinking, come one get out there and kick the point so I do think the clock was running out.

In some cases if the testing required to spell the word "cat", they may never play again.

Maybe? Read an article a month or so ago about how players know what to say when being tested to pass. There's an independent doctor, if he says the right things, hard to argue the player was taken advantage of. Seems the players don't want to sit out so game the system. Maybe the hope for the player is to says the right things, passes keeps playing, next day he comes in and says his head hurts, gets a week off of practice and with a little luck he's ruled eligible to play next week, worse case he sits out next week. But in the heat of the game, they want to keep playing. And yes worst case he's a vegetable in 20 years, but not sure the players worry much about that. Does the league need a better system probably, but likely hard to figure out what that is without having half a team often ruled out of game.

Speaking of injuries, I watched the end of the Steelers Ravens game and they interviewed Rodger, there were still some remnants of his nose plant from last weeks game.

Likely they did, but as was posted someplace else, the players know what to say to pass the test and continue playing. It was strange that Dawkins finished the game, then mid week was in CP. Does that mean on Wednesday he self reported?

As many have already stated, think it's too late, plus in spite of what the biased fan on this site may feel, the 4:25 game is Green Bay at Denver which is a very good game and as popular as the Bills are, I'm willing to bet there are more Green Bay fans . So not happening

Not really! It's just that there's a contingent that want Beane and McD gone and think the team will be better if that happens. Anytime they can find even the slightest thing to pile on and rip either of them, it's a feeding frenzy. Like a couple people posted when was the last time Ingram played, but lets make this into a big deal!

Think the players at the bottom of the roster understand, it's a business and these are the tactics used every week by every team. If it were Sept and some other team wanted him and told him, he'd be active every week and play alot, he'd maybe prefer going there. But at this point in the year, unless it were another team wit ha good chance of going deep into playoffs, my guess is he'll have no problem coming back here. In the case of Slay that could have been Philly, but oh well

So for all the comments regarding how poor Coleman is, from article in todays Athletic regarding #3 overall pick Abdul Carter, article also talked about some of the things LT did back in the day and apparently Parcells allowed. Article states Daboll tended to look the other way with Carter, but the guy who took over for him Carter had to sit out the opening series of the Giants’ Week 11 loss to the Packers, after he was asleep in the team facility at the time of the walk-through, Dan reported. (Carter denied the charge, saying on social media he was undergoing recovery, not sleeping.) Just two weeks later, Carter was again benched, this time for the entire first quarter of Monday’s loss to the Patriots. The reason? He missed a special teams meeting. After the game, Carter said, “S— happens,” before later apologizing for letting his teammates down. Taylor used to miss time for other reasons. One Sunday night, he drove home from playing golf, saw the stadium lights on and realized he was missing his team’s game. “I thought it was a Monday night game,” Taylor told James Brown. “I (told Parcells), don’t blame me. Blame the foursome in front of me. They were so slow.” When his Giants defensive coordinator, Bill Belichick, told head coach Bill Parcells about Taylor’s tardiness, Parcells asked, “Well, why’d you start the meeting before he got there?”

James Harrisons response was even worse. He said Tomlin is a good coach, but not a great coach.

Voted the most boring SB winning team of all time in my book!

Shula did with two back in the early 70's but do agree with your point overall.

Should probably add Montana and Bradshaw to that list, though they are kind of "old school" era. But agree with you overall.
