It's been crazy seeing "reporters" on NFLN this week parrotting the "back injury" talking point with a straight face - will be interesting to see if there is any actual real discussion now that includes the acknowledgement of what actually happened last Sunday

Every time they show McDaniel now all I can think about is how he knowingly put a player he knew was concussed out there and lied about it. How can players respect that guy now

For all the ball washing of McDaniels he is absolutely complicit in this. The whole org is a disgrace for lying about what everyone obviously saw last game. It's kind of bizarre how they were just let off the hook with their ridiculous lies

Geez - maybe not the best idea to ignore the concussion last week

Don't have a ton of confidence Joe Cool Burrow is going to necessarily pull this out

Most catchable interception ball

I was thinking during the game while they had guys standing there holding umbrellas why they didn't just bring a bunch of shade canopies- then realized what you said that it would block the fan view. But then on the 4:00 TB game I saw the Packers brought these low shade things that went right over the length of the bench and didn't obstruct any view. Haven't read this whole thread but the other thing is even if you have areas of shade - the overall temp in the area is still going to be hotter with the sun beating down and frying everything all around

Lol - brought me right back to days as a kid putting the bread bags on before putting on our boots to go play in the snow

A pyrrhic victory for sure. Further exhaust and expose to injuries players who might be needed as guys are dropping like flies - for a few yds on kickoff? (not to mention risking a big return against exhausted players) That's ridiculous IMO Edit: BTW - Fins starting position after kickoff: 22, 17, and 24 yd line

One thing that bothered me last week was not kicking the ball out of the EZ each kickoff. Why subject anyone to more heat/injury in those conditions. Just kick it out for God's sake

Also I don't care how fast the WR is - safety has one job on that play - to not let anything get behind him - AFTER starting the play well off the LOS - just a terrible play

Yeah I've analyzed that play like the Zapruder film - DB does pop up, but he's running parallel to him at that point - there's no doubt in my mind if McK ran full speed to the sideline his momentum would have carried him out even with a hit. He would have been out at like the 45 though - so would have taken a hell of a boot even after that.

Did anyone see the play in the game where he was going out of bounds - a defender had hands on him then let go once they were oob - and Jones literally jumped off both feet to fly through the air to try to get a flag, then came up crying for one. It was the worst fake acting job to try to get a flag I've ever seen. Dude is a crying POS

Just realized - Saquon broke the ManningCast curse

The post-injury reaction was a little different between these two players 😛

The biggest tell is also when he got up and stumbled there was a lot of head shaking and unsteady side-side movement - notably lacking was any reaching for his back at all - has anyone in hstory who ever hurt or threw out their back not reached and put their hands on their back involuntarily

I think you meant to say single round sink/urinal

Can't wait to see the renderings for that

Watch the replay - Allen grabs his crotch while he's yelling at the ref. also Wilkins has a history of it - famously caught doing it in college. The crazy thing is he knew what he was doing and it worked - grabbed Josh's junk in the pile - Josh gets a 15 yd retaliation penalty and Wilkins just laughs

Natahniel Hackett - Born to Coach - just not Head Coach

Hackett should have hired Marrone for his game management coach

I was just realizing as I first tuned in the game - oh yeah, Hacket coached game - entertainment factor automatically sure to go up

At first I thought maybe it was possible the stumble was his back, as I've had situations where my back locked up that almost took me to the ground - but upon further review that was obviously not what this was. I don't think the independent doctor will be doing concussion asessment for NFL games in the future

I know it's been discussed a lot but it just drives me crazy - who doesn't think if Josh tries to fall forward 3 times he doesn't get in once. Freaking QB sneak is automatic for 80 yrd old Brady for 20 yrs - how can they not expect Josh to be successful once in multipe tries

Also the people that are saying games shouldn't be scheduled in S Fla early in the season - so they're supposed to play away 8 weeks in a row then home the rest of the season?
