After all that went on Thursday and NFL doing nothing.

Just watched Tyrod Taylor get blasted in the helmet here in the 3rd in a close game after Bills make a come back.

No flag and the Official pulled Taylor out of the game.  Setting up a 3 and out with the backup QB. Guess NFL just proved if you can't stop the QB just nail him in the head. Now wonder if this will work with Brees, Rogers, and Brady

luckily Taylor is back in.

so much for the NFL player safety smh

Riddle me this. Why aren't running backs pulled out for the protocol after they have helmet to contact which happens on many plays. I guess only quarterbacks get concussions.   Am I right????

Shady took a shot going out of bounds that was similar to Cam's head shot.

Defensive players should have to sit out as long as the qb does with a helmet to helmet hit. If the qb doesn't return neither does that player 

That makes perfect sense. If it was helmet to helmet then the defensive player was hit in the head too. If the protocol is preventative and regardless of symptoms, then they should both be checked out. Unless your size influences if you get a concussion rather than looking at it as a combined forces issue.

Helmet to helmet hits are  back in the NFL. Use them to win. I guarantee you the SB champion will be a head shotting SoB when the game is on the line.

How many players can you remove from the game with the concussion protocol? They sure will not flag them.

Anyone who believes the NFL cares about player safety is fooling themselves. I do not care about any off field program if the NFL fails to enforce it on the field and keep the teams honest. Awarding teams advantages and wins for using head shots while improving the technology of helmets is flat out stupid.

Nah man, the same rule applies like a head butt in the movies. It doesn't hurt the guy that does it, only the one it's being done to. Ha

The hits didn't look like a Launch hit like the Steward and Marshall more like the one from Von Miller.  But as much as they pump player safety.  And they don't flag a high hit like they would Brady and Brees. It won't keep players from holding back not thinking twice about making a head shot that could take someone out.

So you thought those hits should have been flagged?  I really didnt see anything wrong with them at all.  I didnt think they were high hits.  I thought Taylor lowered his head like a running back and the defense tackled him like they should have.  I didnt think Von should have been penalized either.  I would hate for one of our guys to be flagged for any plays like Von's or the ones from last night.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
