Purdy in Concussion Protocol. Likely OUT this weekend.

Run the Tush Push they said. It's easy they said.  

 

The NFL is likely to use plays like this and what happens to the Giants when they lost 2 guys on a play like this to call the play "unsafe" and add restrictions IMO.

Great example of you NEVER know what your schedule looks like until you play the games. 
 

Bengals get SF without Purdy and Deebo.

As long as it doesn’t eat into the owners’ pocketbooks, which this won’t.  Safety thrown out the window when they can make more money though.

Honestly, Darnold is probably just as good w/ what they have set up there....

Maybe it's just a neck strain? 🤔

I was going to say, it looked like a pretty obvious back injury to me.

Eh, dude has been a turnover machine. Plus he’s not handsome enough. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Eli won two super bowls looking like he was hit in the face with a shovel

This is what yanks my chain.  Bills lose players the same week their opposition gets players back.  We have little luck in this area.

I disagree with this but still enjoy the irony of Mr Ghost Seer getting his first start on Halloween weekend.

QB sneaks have always seemed to me to be dangerous to the QB. For exactly what happened to Purdy. I wonder why teams don't do sneaks with RBs. Recall when they used to switch to the 2nd QB? I found that such a brutal concept. Here Joe, come off to bench to take a hit, then back you go. 

 

But I like what the Eagles are doing. Zero subtlety, all muscles. It's a few plays a game, just stop them if you can.

Oh I'm not comparing their talent

 

And Eli does have the charm of a younger brother who's been dropped on his head

I just want Darnold to light it up. I love a good QB controversy.

Was really banking on the 49ers handing the Bengals a loss…

After how Purdy looked for the past two games, I’m not sure that this mattersZ CMC being out would be a much bigger deal.

Actually, the Panthers have done this a few times this year. They have pulled Bryce Young and let Andy Freaking Dalton come in for the QB sneak a few times. Rumor has it that they view Young as too small and not powerful enough to execute the play himself 😂

If I’m a linebacker in the NFL, I’m doing EXACTLY what that Viking LB did every time some QB tries a sneak….and it’s completely legal…for all intents and purposes he’d just be torpedoing himself into the pile, if he happens to hit the QB, oh well.
