Having broken ribs twice myself, I definitely understand how you'd alligator arm a ball over the middle. They must have shot him up with some good stuff. Broken ribs are cripplingly painful.

They sure are, mine still bother me from time to time over 25 years later. Props to him for manning up to play. I feel for him too. He made some great grabs and to miss that last one...

Guys like Romo and Big Ben played through broken ribs several times and it didn’t affect their play all that much, this really isn’t a valid excuse. It’s a tough break for him and the team but not the reason they lost. They were absolutely dominated for the last 3 quarters of the game, they’re actually lucky they were in it only down a score at the end there. Go Rams and Chiefs

Im not a professional athlete by any means but im in pretty good shape and have a pretty high pain tolerance (played my whole junior year of high school with a torn meniscus) and i honestly have no idea how someone with cracked ribs can play in a pro football game. I had a hairline fracture on one rib and for weeks it was incredibly painful just to get out of bed

Totally different positions and I'm sure those guys were wearing very heavy rib protectors that a WR would struggle to play with. Most likely, they probably also had broken ribs on their non-throwing side since that would be their blind side where they'd be most likely to take a big hit. Numbed up good, that would probably be the best non-kicker broken rib situation to try to deal with as long as they didn't take a big blindside hit.

Not to take anything away from them, but it's just nowhere near an apples to apples comparison. I couldn't imagine playing football regardless of position with broken ribs.

Ok doctor. Not everybody has the same tolerance to pain like others do so it is a valid excuse.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
