Almost looks like he is trying to pull sod out of his facemask (which is odd since they were playing on artificial turf) and then he shakes his head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Get back in there kid, you just got your bell rung, that's all" Old school nonsense, but it was the way coaches treated it back in the day. Remember a hockey interview where one of the announcers was a former player discussing a concussion he had. Said he could not even recall his own name. His coaches told him he was Gretzky and sent him back on the ice. "Did you play then like Gretzky?" "No." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Did you notice that Bill sent 7 players on that rush...4 to Allen's blind side. He doesn't mind sending the house when teams are deep in their own zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 48 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: Josh came out after half time and his 3rd quarter play was much better. They went more for the quick, short route stuff and Allen looked much better. So I'm not sure I buy Allen was concussed in the 1st quarter. If there were any indications that Josh might have suffered a concussion as a result of hitting his head on the turf in Q1, the officials would have been all over that, and Allen would not have been on the field past that point in the game. It's possible it was enough to rattle him and it took the intentional time of halftime to clear the cobwebs. Really impossible to say. My guess is 9 out of 10 players on a field at any time could be diagnosed with some level of concussion like symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Well, this is an interesting theory, but others say he didn't hit his head. Plus, before that play, he missed Gore badly in the right flat. I think he was off from the opening kickoff. My theory is that he was nervous, excited, wired, whatever you want to call it, and he never calmed down and played the game his coaches expect of him. As I said, I think the moment was too big for him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the case Sunday. EDIT: Even the demonstrative Daboll pointing to his head may not have realized some damage had happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before prepping for the snap, he quickly shook his head back & forth. I'm pretty sure there was a bee in his helmet. Just trying to ge??♀️t it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to say of course if he got a concussion early but he clearly got Bellicose Rungus. It’s easiest to imagine for me that it was nearly equal parts enormity of the game early, the undeniable ability of Belichick to confuse young QBs, and having been smacked in the head hard. That makes a lot of sense to me. Then he came out playing well in third quarter after settling down on all three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW82 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I still have the game tape and there's nothing in that play which would suggest he got concussed. He saw Van Noy coming, turned and braced himself for the hit. His helmet did not bounce off the turf. I just watched this play like five times in a row to make sure. Ninkovic's knee grazes the side of his helmet when he flies by after the play is over but I'd be surprised if that's what did it. I'm not saying he wasn't or couldn't have been concussed on that play -- Morse had concussion-like symptoms from non-contact drills in training camp -- but there's no smoking gun there based on video evidence of the actual play. I suppose there's lots of evidence afterward depending how you want to view his performance. Edited October 2, 2019 by VW82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(with apologies to a certain poster) Note 2: I don’t have the luxury of recording games, so this comes solely by watching the game Sunday. I haven’t brought this up yet and been looking unsuccessfully in every thread to see if it was noticed as well, but I’m absolutely convinced Allen was concussed in the very 1st Drive. He was sacked & lost a fumble, because the front of his head was slammed into the turf falling back towards our end zone. I caught it immediately and focused hard on him getting up and whenever the camera showed him. Next drive out, on the 1st play, he came up under Center and whipped his head back & forth quickly & violently. (Clearing cobwebs -I’m convinced) I know what that ‘movement’ means and no one has ever done it that wasn’t trying to shake themselves alert. If he’s honest with team Drs. & coaches about this, MAYBE he returns after the Bye -because he was absolutely knocked the ef out later in the game. Anyway, I’m convinced this ne’er before discussed concuss is at the root of his game long issues. Flame if you have the game recorded and can dispute this by further viewings. Dr. Chandler#81 What did Gronk just state,he's had 100's of them, but how many are reported. If there was concussion protocol back in the 90's Kelly would have been removed from the SB against the Giants with about one minute left. In away that play may have even cost them the game as caused him to need to use a TO then which prevented them from having it left at the end which would have allowed them to run an extra play or two to get closer.

Herc11 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The hit wasnt a jarring head snap that is typical of a concussion. His face mask went face, first rubbing into the turf, which many times we see stuff getting lodged in the facemask. Looks more like he shook his head to get something out of his helmet. I even thought that during the game. It wasnt a back and forth "shaking out the cobwebs" motion to me. More of a sharp one direction to make something fall out.

TigerJ Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 My only reaction is that not every blow to the head results in a concussion. A few years ago I stepped off the edge of a sidewalk while walking. There was about a 3 inch drop off that caused me to lose my balance and fall face forward. I slammed my forehead into the concrete. Other than a large goose egg from the blow, I had no loss of consciousness, no symptoms whatsoever. No confusion, no drowiness, no headache. To make others happy, I went to the hospital to make sure. A CT scan confirmed there was no damage, no problem. Thereafter, I had no delayed symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
