Reverse forward charging logos on helmets be safer ? .....but then the culprits would just run backwards to lead with their helmet.

Not including the Bengals, while listing the Lions helmet as culprits for concussions really discredits your whole post. And a Raven can poke your eye out, which is worse than a concussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really make the case that the Bengals helmet encourages head shots but their old helmet certainly didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the logo may not, on the surface, embody thoughts of severe physical trauma, it does still subtly represent a giant race of people - taller than the empire state building - that could crush all opponents to death simply by stepping on them. Remember the old logo... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the old logo... That's a stretch. It's not even a modern helmet on that guy. If they are going to get sued it will be the Rams long before this. The secondary ones would be Bills, Pats and Titans who all changed from stationary logos to logos with forward motion directed at the other team. 1 minute ago, BillnutinHouston said: Let's not be pots calling the kettle black. Our own logo is leading with his head. Correct. I made a list in the first post. IMO we are one of three teams in group 2. To be clear though the deep pockets are the league, not any individual team. The NFL says it wants to cut down on helmet to helmet contact but then trots the Rams out there? That doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 What is an actual interesting discussion is how come NHL players miss weeks and sometimes months due to concussions, where as if an NFL player misses 3 games, it’s a long time. What is different about either their protocols or sports that produce such drastic turn around times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
