My son said before Bass kicked the FG he had a thought of Bass missing it then had a vision of going outside and throwing up
I was worried when they said it was off the right hash. At least it was just a 29-yarder.

The crying about officiating here is like a religion. It went in the Bills favor so it’s all right. If it went the other way this entire site would be filled with “rigged, bills vs Other team & refs, NFL is scripted” and on and on. But as of this moment, the NFL isn’t rigged because the Bills benefited from a bad call. Some fans watch the NFL just to complain about calls and to boast about how the league is rigged. Yet they watch every game like it’s their job. Try figuring that one out.
Even Mahomes and Reid weren't arguing that the call itself was bad—they were griping that it was made at a critical point in the game, wiping out a big play. By the rules this was clearly the right call. Has any expert seriously argued otherwise?

Normally I’d be pissed off at the team for losing like this, but the inhabitants of this board are such a blubbering band of manginas that my contempt has been transferred to you all.

That play call and execution was atrocious.

This game made me feel homicidal. And I was only able to watch the last 2 minutes.

Yes, those are stages but not significance of intensity.
At least by my knowledge cte is cte and continues to develop. Obviously more contact creates more likelihood but by all accounts I've seen it doesn't intensify or change by getting hit harder, or longer, or any such thing.
The only thing that goes up is the likelihood for it by deduction.
And even then the difference between the control group was 6%. Not staggering.
This is just not true. There is a direct relationship between # of years of football played and not just likelihood of CTE, but also severity of CTE. Per a recent BU study: "Every additional year playing football was associated with 15% increased odds of a CTE diagnosis and, for those with CTE, 14% increased odds of severe CTE." Also, "Every 1,000 additional estimated blows to the head conferred 21% increased odds of a CTE diagnosis, and 13% increased odds of developing severe CTE." https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/how-football-raises-risk-chronic-traumatic-encephalopathy

there have not been any studies i've seen where it is "worse" or graded higher due to amount of injury. if you have cte you simply have cte and the symptoms are pretty cut and dry.
?? CTE has four distinct stages, graded by amount of brain damage. The degree of impairment varies greatly by stage:

To complete the catch he has to make a "move common to the game." Which I don't think he does. Though the rule says taking a 3rd step counts as a move common to the game, they've ruled no catch this year after 4 steps and the ball moves when they go to the ground...
So assuming the catch wasn't completed, by the rule he doesn't have to get two feet down again after a loss of control. It's no catch if he's touching out of bounds when he re-establishes control. But if he's touching in bounds when he re-establishes control it's a catch after he survives the ground.
It's much closer to a catch than I thought, there would have to be a camera angle showing part of his foot touching out of bounds when we re-establishes control.
Thanks for explaining. Sounds, too, like there is a discrepancy between the rules and what is sometimes called on the field... as seems to be the case with so many penalties that are inconsistently called.

Cause he lost control of the ball before completing the catch.
I see that the ball control rules are VERY confusing in the NFL, reading in more detail... What would he have had to do to "fully" complete the catch? He established control while clearly having both feet in bounds.

Just now, Motorin' said:
He did gain control, but never got two feet down after he lost control.
Why would he have to get two feet down twice?

Check out the 2nd biggest play of the game. Here we have 3rd & 9 from midfield. This completion would move the chains, and the Bengals would go on to score their last offensive points of the game and make it 17-10.
Except it wasn't a catch. Chase gets two feet down before the cb dislodges control. By the time he regains control his second foot lands out of bounds.
Would they have gone for it 4th & 9 from midfield?
To me it looked like he clearly gained control after the catch, then started to lose it just as he was going out of bounds? Don't see how that isn't a catch...

Does anyone know how long his heart was stopped before the emergency crews restarted it on the field? That time interval could be crucial in whether he recovers brain function. In one study, people with cardiac arrest who survived with good brain function averaged about 13 minutes from the time their hearts stopped until the time they started up again. Those whose hearts stopped for longer periods had less positive outcomes, though even some in this group did do OK. https://www.webmd.com/heart/news/20131116/giving-cpr-for-more-than-30-minutes-may-be-worth-it

The problem for Wilson is not that he’s made mistakes, but he’s not learning from his mistakes. Allen improved each year. Wilson still looks like a rookie and making mistakes left and right. He won’t last long. It’s too bad as Salah is creating a heck of a defense, and improving their running game. What did they punt 17 times yesterday?
The sad thing is The Pats looked just as bad.
Yes, this. Wilson's refusal to take any responsibility for the loss is telling: The reason he's not learning from his mistakes is that his ego won't let him acknowledge that he's making any.

This is probably me over-interpreting, but considering the environment Tua was raised in, it's fair to wonder how self-motivated he really is as a player. The guy had a dad who beat him growing up when he threw interceptions. He never really chose to be a football player, he was pushed into it by his family. Is he starting to find joy in football on his own terms? I hope so. But given the pressures on him from so many directions, he also might just be terrified to quit.

Having watched McDaniel in interviews and on Hard Knocks, I get the impression that he is a highly gifted nuts-and-bolts offensive play designer—but one who is not great at motivating his players on a human level. Those two skill sets are VERY different. McDermott seems far better than McDaniel on the motivational side of things, which helps explain why the second (and third, fourth, fifth, sixth...) guys on our team have stepped up so capably in recent weeks.
