Insane to even pretend they didn't. Dude was in protocol for like 2 days, and then got a "personal day". Lol I wasn't born yesterday. They were clearly hiding his condition

Am I wrong to assume that the NFL has an independent neurologist be the one to clear a player from concussion protocol? It cant just be the coaches saying "OK kid, you're good to go!"

To get two concussions in the s pi and if a week is alarming. Benford needs to seriously consider his future health and life after football.  My first ever bold prediction is that he walks away and doesn't play again.

Benford and Rapp.  Two years in a row rapp and a starting corner were out vs KC in the playoffs.  What is it now 4 straight years our number 1 corner was out in the playoffs?

 

That is just bad luck.

 

BTW I really hope benford is ok today.

Elam better be outright released ASAP.

 

He will never be a quality NFL corner…ever.  Looked bewildered out there. Couple him with Damar on the field?? What did anyone expect.  
 

Rapp and Benford need to stay. Douglas didn’t look great but still believe he can be good.  Damar can hit the bricks also…done with him.  Need a new starting safety and better backups.

 

Problem is you need a quality pass rush to give the dbacks a chance.  Don’t get that from our line.

That entire unit couldn't have tackled somebody on crutches. Bishop looked lost...well he was.

I think if you look at it pretty objectively it is NOT straight forward. I'm assuming there's some leeway left for teams to push important guys through.

 

We've seen way too many sketchy things go on with protocol and the blue tent

My son was screaming at the TV to put Ingram in every time Elam was on the end of a bad play.

 

How much worse could he possibly have been??  Thought he’s played pretty well.

Expand  

Ingram played as the 6th DB or 3rd safety in Bills D this year.  He replaced Cam Lewis in that role when Lewis was hurt or playing S.  Ingram is more of a slot CB or S.  Not sure they played him outside even unless in mop up part of games

I dont understand how Elam goes from consistently inactive to the 3rd CB.

Exactly. Don't play him in the big game if he hasn't gotten reps during the year. They squandered this pick. This guy has actually played well in prior playoff appearances. And playing five yards off the line isn't this guy's game -- kind of a head scratcher when we were playing man for most of the night.

He should have gotten more playing time over Hamlin in the regular season.

 

Everybody knows how limited of an athlete Hamlin is. He’s not the future but McD is so conservative about mistakes that it takes 3-4 years for our rookies to develop, particularly on defense.

Thought he played some CB prior to Elam getting more time.

No, Elam stinks now. He wasn’t this bad before. He’s playing soft as charmin now.

Expand  

True and he is supposed to be a better man CB vs zone and sorry to say he didn't display that on Sunday. He's a bust flat out granted Benford who was taken in the same draft looks like a steal so they kind of balance each other out in that regard.

They completely missed on Elam. A guy they drafted in the 6th round in the same draft out performed him. Tough pill to swallow.

You can say that again

passing D was always mediocre.  With Benford, the bills gave up 86 points and over 1000 yards to LA and Detroit in December.  

 

He wouldn't be a game changer in that KC game.

I disagree he made a play before getting concussed that showed how valuable he was. As I don't think he takes the penalties or gives up the yards that Elam did in that game.

In a game that close, maybe he makes a play or 2 . Teams generally don't target him

Well Elam sucks--huge bust, no argument from me there.

 

I just don't see a different outcome in the game based on one extra, decent CB.
