    So you just leave the browser window open for hours? I used to screenshot them. Super annoyed with the experience either way but if that’s the way it’s gonna be they should let people know.

    Well I use the Ticketmaster app, but I guess you could just leave the browser up too.  It's even less hassle than having to waste ink printing stuff.

    Absolutely.  This is the nfl and writing in a w is never a sure thing.   However we will all be disappointed if they lose this game.  

    I remember telling my neighbor at the flea market to watch the Bills shock the world, he thought I was crazy.  The look on his face each time I updated him on the game was priceless.  

    More Tom Brady protection by the league

    This is the narrative that upsets my already tenuous equilibrium: a privileged, cheating, protected athlete receiving additional, informal, untraceable protections beyond the scope of league-wide rules. 

     

    The Tuck Rule was retroactively created to justify Brady's horribly botched AFC Championship fumble ruling.

     

    The silly below-the-knee restriction for QB protection was enacted following Brady's only major injury.

     

    He is allowed to turf the ball--and therefore avoid negative outcomes/real-world consequences--without penalty any time the called play is effectively disrupted by the defense. No other professional, proficient, otherwise precise NFL QB enjoys such freedoms, to suddenly be bad enough at throwing a football that it bounces roughly five yards from the feet of a nearby receiver when the pass rushers are closing in. 

     

    One needs not venture beyond the football field to find the ammunition necessary for a proper, justified Brady-bashing. He is Dan Marino x10.

    What the hell do you mean the Tuck Rule was "retroactively created" to justify helping Brady?  The first application of the rule was AGAINST the Patriots earlier that year in a game against the Jets, before Brady became the starter.  It was actually the game Bledsoe got injured in that led to Brady becoming the starter in the first place.  Brady was just some nobody backup at the time the Tuck Rule came into being so it couldn't have been created to help him.

     

    Patriots head coach Bill Belichick referred to this game after the subsequent Tuck Rule Game, telling ESPN, "I knew what the ruling should have been because we had dealt with that play a little bit earlier in the year on the other side of it."

    Where is the outrage for Tyler Kroft

    A kick, knee, slap in the head to you or me might not be a big deal. When a football player has a history of concussions that history can't be ignored.

    Kind of missing the point of people directly tying this last concussion to his history, as if it should have been a warning sign that he was going to get KICKED IN THE HEAD.

     

    If John Doe has a history of knee injuries, and some random mugger happens to club him in the knee during a robbery, the response isn't "well we should have known he'd get his knee injured, he does have a history after all".  That's my point.  It was a fluke.

     

    *edit*

    Unless you mean to imply that the kick to his head was of a specific intensity, one that wouldn't injure someone without previous concussions, but would injure someone with a history of them?  Cuz that's not really how concussions work.

    But, it was, right? Concussion issues were something that you had to consider when signing him.  Too, I think, it's the importance we all placed on Morse being able to help guide Allen in year two.  TE is nice. Center is more critical.

    You can't have a worrying "history" of getting kicked in the head.  That's something you have to chalk up to bad luck, the same as if someone with a history of knee injuries gets hit with an illegal chop block or someone falls sideways on their leg.  That has a high chance of injuring them regardless of their history.
