And to anyone else who gives "intelligent" answers like "Huh?" to my "F the playoffs" comment :

I am merely stating that I don't give a sh-t about the Playoffs in light of this situation.

 

OKAY???

okay.

I mean then just don’t reply? Or attempt to articulate yourself better in the original reply. The topic was about rescheduling the game. I suggested they shouldn’t. The other poster agreed with me. 
 

I couldn’t tell if you were just being a jerk because the Panthers missed the playoffs, that this situation shook you up so bad you can’t possibly think two weeks ahead or if something else was going on. 
 

I’ll ignore the “intelligent” crap because you’re upset tonight.

I bet Tee Higgins feels especially bad right now.  He apparently did nothing wrong, but even being involved in something like that could be a very traumatic experience.  

dude has to be inconsolable.  On the play, he could have cut either way and prlly gotten atleast the same amount of yards, but he decided to go at Hamlin in an effort to keep the physicality.  Its the kind of play that happens early in a game to set up for "business decisions" later, but had he not done that, the game is still going on.  I cant even imagine whats going through his head.

I played in college, and even though everyone around you is getting dinged and injured, you somehow don't think of it happening to you.  The warrior mentality takes over.  I can say that when I was injured twice and the surgeon told me that I was done, there was a part of me that was relieved.  The decision I never wanted to make was made for me, and I found immediate peace with it.  I found other things to do, and they did not hurt as much.  So if this experience helps him find peace off the field, I get it.

I quit playing in HS because the reality that I was too small to be this slow was apparent to me. I had no future in the game past this level so let's just call it now.

But what Ryan Clark said resonated with me at 40. He said at 24 I didn't even know that I COULD die. It's true. Yeah, you know. But you don't know. Most people have fortunately never had to face their own mortality at that age. You haven't faced any serious health issues and your immediate family is probably still alive and relatively healthy.

At 16 I was in a bad mountain biking crash. I was knocked out cold and bit through my tongue so hard I chipped several teeth and cracked my helmet almost completely in half. My entire thoughts on the matter were, damn that sucked. Literally never occured to me it could've been so much worse. At 19 I was involved in a partial ejection rollover car crash. Same thing. Damn, that sucked. Keep it moving. You're just invincible on your own mind at that age.

God this is so horrible to turn on my TV and see this news. I hope the guy will be okay. I don't understand if it was the particular play on the field that cause sit or some awful underlying medical condition. Either way I can only pray here and hope the poor guy pulls through just fine. I can only imagine how his family and teammates must have felt seeing that on the field. Feel so awful for everyone involved.

Not sure what the NFL protocol would be here, but I won't be shocked if this game is ultimately just flat out cancelled and registered as a tie. This late in the season I don't see how they can squeeze it in even if they wanted to.

Or just don't count the game. Leave Buffalo and Cincinnati with 16 games.

Cincinnati and Buffalo could possibly see each other again in the playoffs.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
