thewookie1 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) It is possible to to pass out without a concussion occasionally. My brother was tripped inadvertently at a friendly skate and went head first into the dasher of the boards and got a nasty cut as well as being knocked out briefly. The ambulance and the hospital both concluded he hadn't got a concussion. So in rare cases it is possible.

Malazan Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The discussion of how political each news network is really contributes to the discussion. I understand the science behind concussions much better after reading it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.E. Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 14 minutes ago, K-9 said: CTE can only be conclusively diagnosed after death. The Concussion Legacy Foundation finds it in every single former player they test for it, too. Raises a lot of questions. Sampling bias? Do they ever test the brains of people who didn't play contact/combat sports professionally? Does everyone possibly have this, to some degree?

BringBackFergy Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Sure looked like he suffered a head injury on the flea flicker play vs Ravens. Banged his head on turf pretty bad on that play. Sure hope it wasn’t two concussions in two weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I certainly thought he was concussed at the time. But when he ran out, I didn't think he was. I have been around people with concussions a lot and he certainly didn't act like a person who sustained a concussion after leaving the tent. But none of us are doctors or evaluated him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I am 1000000% for player safety. But...I have some issues here: Hitting your head does not guarantee a concussion. Allen did not seem to have any lingering affects at any point as he walked off the field to when he came back into the game or through his play. Not even in the post game interview either. Allen can be heard talking about his chest like he more got the wind knocked out of him. Granted, he could be just saying that trying to stay in the game, but that is why he goes to the tent to be checked by an independent 3rd party head trauma specialist. He was cleared to go back in by that independent specialist, which ever since Tua's issues in 2022 it is VERY difficult to get cleared now where even the slightest suspicion and they will error on the side of caution and not let them back in. So I am not sure what someone watching from a TV thinks they know more about than the 3rd party impartial specialist who directly examined him and cleared him to return when they are incredibly strict now since the Tua issues in 2022.

When it's a person who has been adversarial against the NFL and continually written articles about the concussion lawsuit and personally profits from the condition.. well.. I don't think the player's welfare is the 1st thing in his mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one part that is convincing me more and more that he wasn't concussed. When he first hit the ground, he is pounding his feet up and down like he was in pain. Concussed people aren't moving their legs like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
