Thank you; 'preciate. I think that's Hancock and not White; he was in for Bishop while he was cramping. And if Hancock doesn't at least force Chase inside he's gone, because neither Poyer nor Williams are getting over in time to cut off those wheels. I do think Hancock would have got to his outside shoulder, but betting on rookies is a sucker's game.

This bears a remarkable resemblance to a throw he made into traffic that I have no idea how he saw somebody coming open. I think it was to Ty Johnson but damn if I can remember what game it was.

His hand was almost in front of the ball

NO quarter!

Lost track of time puffing on a cigar in the garage

If you follow the conversation you'll see he was talking about Bishop.

That was only the second time I'd ever been in a crowd where my feet actually left the ground and I had no control where I was going.

Iron Man football!

Well, if Tre and Hairston can hold down the corners, Beane's prayers at DE have just been answered!-)

I think most people think that the camera angle gave the false impression that Chase was closer to Benford than he actually was.

For the umpteenth time, Antonio Brown was a sociopathic, violent criminal when he was a teenager. He was thrown out of his own home because his father believed he was a legitimate threat to his mother. His father has been quoted as saying he's always been abusive and has been this way "since he was 12 years old". His concussions are completely irrelevant to him being a complete sack of shlt as a human being.

Enjoy the game and if you want to make Bills references/comparisons go for it. Just please don't overdo it so as not to annoy the folks who don't want to hear it. Fair warning: Crusaders will be given NO quarter

They were hosed when he took over a minute and also burned their only timeout just to immediately get them into 4th and 1.

As bad as it looked when they made it, imo.

What a terrible thing to say about LBs and Gs I'm not overly sensitive to this stuff. If I remember right (probably not, too many concussions), when everybody thought Tua was going to instantly drop dead if he ever stepped on a field again, I think we were the only two saying that it was his call alone and everybody else should just keep their pieholes shut. But the guy making that decision has got to have his mind right to do it; I think it's not reasonable to expect that decision to be made by a brother who thinks he's Batman.

If you're talking about Hancock, the pick-6 is the exact play we were discussing. Just tell them you've been taking your meds on time and they might let you go home!

C'mon man, you can't expect a dude who doesn't even know where he is to make rational decisions about his own compromised brain.

I like this idea; they should find a way to be extra cautious with that 1 week danger zone. The only downside I can see with this is that there might be people who hesitate to even evaluate a guy because they know it will end his day.

That must have been when Bishop was reportedly cramping. Thanks for the re-check. 🤙

I won't dispute that. But when you start racking up multiples in a shortened time frame, that's when it gets really, really dicey. If folks are correct and he took another one (and possibly two today) while just coming out of protocol 3 days ago, that is when things get genuinely dangerous. I think that is what the league really needs to focus on mitigating, not just the standard bell-ringers that everybody gets occasionally.

Hancock was on the field on 1st/10 when they were expecting a run so much that multiple guys bit on a play fake that Burrow never even ended up executing?! I noticed they were being a little more proactive about getting him on the field early in the game (i.e. 3rd/5s instead of 3rd/9s) but I'm really surprised he was out there on 1st down in that situation.

When you watch the All-22 this week, let me know if Chase is going to the house if Benford doesn't make that play. With Milano late on a bad angle and no safety in the NFL being able to run down Chase, I think he was gone with nobody in the neighborhood but Bishop.

What has changed is that we now fully understand that this stuff can often have long-term, life-altering consequences.

There's no sneaking about it, imo. He's carrying this entire circus on his back.

I get that. But if a player is mentally compromised, it is not fair to expect him to make rational decisions about his health.
