It has been our "luck" all season.  The football gods have been frowning on us all year.  

True, but in retrospect I’m glad we played them at full O strength. 
 

Needed to see we can keep up with a team like that, and while their defense is trash, that offense in the form we saw, might be the best in the NFL … might not even be close.

This dude is concussed for half the season but decided to just show up for our game and make a dozen 1-handed contested catches! 

as they say in good old Honduras: ¡por supuesto!

It was kinda horrifying to see him keep playing 

 

I watched the game again last night on replay and those hits of his head against the turf looked even worse than I thought. 

 

"Player safety" is really just lip service, what a joke.

I watched it again on NFLN yesterday and had the same reaction. Wow! That was even worse than I remembered in real time, which means it had to be pretty darn bad! Those fields they play on overseas tell you just how serious they are about player safety. The hypocrisy is really annoying.

No doubt he should never have been let back in the game after the first time his head bounced off the turf and he needed to be evaluated. 

 

Allen, Cook, Shakir, and Kincaid have all taken hits this year and got up wobbly and we're let back in the game.  I honestly missed the Dawkins play where he got hit but he finished the game. 

 

The whole protocol is difficult to use as there is no definitive test for evaluating a concussion.

He was pretty high functioning late in the game, particularly with that one-handed TD grab.  I am honestly not sure what players and teams are supposed to do in that situation. 

When he slams his head on the turf and holds it after a stay on concussion protocol....you pull him. I had one of my best football games ever with a concussion and to this day...it disgusts me

I can't think of a time with our guys where it was obvious after the hit to the head where it messed with the player so much.  He bobbled every ball thrown to him after that.  He was either tentative or concussed.  Neither is good

Nothing like Tua or anything like that. Kincaid got rocked in an early game on a goal line reception attempt and he wobbled back to the sideline. He looked out of it.
