There are two underlying issues that are driving the league into a state where it will not function.
The first is that it is a QB driven league and they are doing everything they can to protect QBS, even to the point of absurdity, Take a look back to the “old days” when RB’s were the feature players. Many of them went down with knee injuries did the league do anything to change that situation for them? No.
The league is also trying to mandate or by rule creation eliminate concussions. It’s a violent sport and they are not going to make it otherwise.
Love to hear NE* fans and media whine. However, they have a way of bouncing back. They have owned the Bills for a decade plus and until the Bills take matters into their own hands and win both games against them in a year it will be hard to undo this disgusting history. The Bills remain an enigma, are they the team that blew out the Vikes or are they the team that got trampled the first two games. The answer is probably not really either. This will have to sort itself out and the path to respect goes through the Patsies*.
Same broken record of the last few seasons. The Pats start cold and supposedly they have “lost it.” Then they find life, bury the Bills and run all over the AFCE. It has been a pattern and I will not count them down and out until the record shows they are. I’ve bought into the story before and just will not do it again. Maybe Brady has hit the age wall but it seems to simply be too sudden that he has become this bad. Let’s hope so but don’t count the chickens just yet.
Just to think that so many in Buffalo wanted to argue that with support, the right coach, supporting cast, etc. that Tyrod would be a HOF QB. At times he was electrifying and he is a great guy. He just isn’t a starting NFL QB.
It was a moment where you were both excited that he did it and thankful that he did not get seriously injured. Look at what happened to Jimmy G. yesterday. Sometimes the line between a season ending (career ending) injury and a great effort is thin. Jimmy G. could easily have stepped out. He and his team regret that he did not.
In the mean time it will be fun to watch the replay of Alle’s Lead a few thousand times. What a play.
