Yeah he bounced his head pretty hard off the carpet.  I was surprised to see him back in.  I find it pretty hard to believe he didn't have a concussion.

He ought to have his head examined for putting up with Mack Hollins as #1 WR.

So the co founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation got the plug for his foundation and CNN jumped on it like raw meat, shockers.

So he is a former college football players and WWE wrestler so he is now a "neuroscientist"  I have to look him up see where he got medical degree.

His undergrad is from Harvard and his PhD is from BU.

I have no issue with this and if JA has to sit out a game or two, i'm okay with that too......look at the long term. If we are spinning our wheels this year and not really going anywhere as a rebuild/reload, then preserve JA as much as you can and get ready for next season.

 

I've made my peace with this season and perhaps some of you should too.

Who do you think he is Aaron Rodgers who can dictate coaching staff and offense personnel?

[papazoid]

he hit his head pretty hard.....his hand wrist went limp as he slid/rolled to a stop.....sure looked like he was knocked out, however briefly

 

should be interesting if he experiences any symptoms this week

Is he a Jets fan?

[Success]

I thought he said on the sideline that it was his chest & not his head?

I don't want JA put at risk in any way and agree that I'm okay w/ what they're doing here.

 

But what do you mean by making peace w/ this season?  We lost 2, so we are out of the running now?

 he did

 

but he also knows how the game is played.....it will only blow up in the bills face if he experiences concussion like symptons during this week

[Blackbeard]

As an aside, Allen is a freaking trooper

Good thing he wont because he didn't have a concussion.

Has he been checked for CTE or this just publicity to raise donations for Concussion Legacy Foundation?

He has quite a bit of conflict of interest.

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I'm skeptical of anything CNN

Its shocking right?  Allen needs to be pulled aside and not allowed to suit up again until he has an MRI.

Josh did say that it was a chest injury.

 

Just like Tua said that he had back spasms after he got up from that Milano hit and was visibly wobbly. 3 diagnosed concussions later and Tua is currently on IR with many advocating for his retirement. 

 

These guys are warriors and know what to say to avoid concussion protocol, but (sometimes) at the detriment of their long term health.
