  1.  

    It was part of the whole thing: they opened by passing for 150 yards in the first 20 minutes of game time, so Buffalo went to a 2-down-lineman formation. Ben noticed it quickly and checked to a run every time we lined up that way, and 230+ yards later we were done.

    Echoes of "43 is the Mike".

  2. thats not the argument. People here are seriously saying that no matter who made the hot and who it was against, it was a savage hit. "Made me sick to my stomach" was one quite I remember seeing. What's the difference if it was done yesterday or 10-30 years ago. If it's a "disgusting" and "dirty" hot now, it's a disgusting and dirty hit then. The era that it took place shouldn't make a difference.

    I disagree. We know a lot more today than we did in Tasker's era about the long-term effects of head injuries.

     

    In 1990, we would have cringed and wondered about the impact of the hit on the roster for the rest of the season. Today we know it will have significant impacts on the player's life moving forward. It's a different era.

     

    Again, it was not necessary to deliver a head shot for Landry to have a positive impact on the play. Take the opponent out of the play, not the game.
