Broncos bus accident more serious than previously believed, some are sore with headaches now

[Sam Mills Fan]

 

Interesting. They're not making excuses already are they? Wonder if anyone has to go through the concussion protocol now?

[Moorgan]

Excuses for their hangovers.

Did Tolbert get lose on the highway or something?

I thought it was a minor accident with the motorcycle escort. Surely that didn't lead to any injuries with the bus passengers.

That IS what was reported. How did that escalate into sore with headaches?

Sounds like they are starting early with the excuses....

I woke up with a headache this morning.  I could admit to too much rum last night but I blame a flu bug instead.

At this rate, by Saturday night three of them will be dead, 7 will have needed surgery, the team will be bankrupt, and an exorcist will need to be brought in.

Well - I guess if you need a ready-made headline after Manning loses his last game...

Reportedly what happened is a car in front of the police escort stopped due to the police sirens coming at them so the lead motorcycle had to swerve and bail(or something like that) then the lead bus slammed on the brakes to avoid the collision with the car but that caused a chain reaction and the other two buses carrying the broncos ran into the ones in front of them. It wasn't a big pile up but apparently there was at least some decent contact and the slamming of the brakes followed by the collision surely caused some people on the buses to bump their heads or suffer minor whiplash.

Oh thank god this didn't happen to the seahawks. We'd never hear the end of it.

If Manning didnt hit his head it would be a miracle.

Due to the nature of my job, I get to observe people who have been in traffic accidents a lot and see their medical records. The vast majority of the time they say they're fine right after the accident. However, by the next day, the soreness creeps in and that's usually when they seek medical treatment. Even in minor accidents people experience some significant soreness the next day. I expected some sore players today.

I would guess that they'll probably be sore for a couple of days. It'll probably  affect their practice some, but I would think any soreness would largely resolve by Sunday. Especially since these guys are in peak physical condition.

Yeah, it's completely normal to not notice or feel the soreness until the next day. For a similar example if anyone has ever played football then I would bet that it's happened where that right after a game you felt fine but you woke up the next day sore. Same idea here.
