BlindSite posted:gently caress TJ Watt and team's will definitely skirt the rules when it suits them but iirc you can have concussion symptoms later on after an incident and not at the time of the incident but I would have thought you'd err on the side of caution for a knock like he copped. Yeah after Tua got his brain scrambled multiple times they were supposedly going to keep an eye out for stuff like that but naturally they’ve just lol, lmao’d it instead. Of course, this is at least in part because a huge segment of the fan base categorically does not care about the brain health of players on their team. Pittsburgh was making a comeback on the back of its defense; if the NFL takes their best player out of the game for an injury that they can’t see and they lose then the bitching and moaning doesn’t stop. Until fans start taking brain injuries seriously the NFL isn’t going to, they’ll just pay it lip service.

There are reports that after the Tua situation players are starting to take things more seriously, especially with self reporting concussions symptoms the day after games Should be noted that the NFLPA has been going on on player safety over a lot of salary stuff (which is one of the reasons stuff is so poo poo for low round rookies/UDFAs)

The fact that he asked to have a tinted visor put on his helmet should have been a huge red flag, the Steelers training staff should definitely be catching some poo poo for this.

I'm not saying that Watt isn't good, but saying he's the best defensive player in the NFL when he's not even top 5 at his own position is hyperbole.

nine days ago i said one thing. i said there's 7 teams that can make the super bowl this year. and i said no one else can even though they can. that's all one thing. i didn't say who the teams were and that bastard No Butt Stuff said only two teams could make the super bowl, because that's true but different. but you listed them all. congratulations Zurreco. You have been entered into a raffle to win an Amazon gift card using my microsoft points. if i should win, the card will be yours.

This has big shades of Baker in 2021 pushing through injury because he hasn't missed a game before. Someone needs to tell Trev that that streak doesn't loving matter.

It feels weird to say this but they have some very suspicious losses and a couple more tight wins vs poo poo teams They're good enough (?) to be called good this year. They're just not good in the way you'd think they'd be looking at the last few years. Aside from last week that defense has mostly been unironically good. The offense is all sorts of a mess by Mahomes era standards. They might light you up, they might light themselves on fire. Just depends on the day or the drive. They're still top half of the league on O, but there are glaring issues going on there. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Dec 10, 2023 |

I think the Chiefs are still fine. Its just jarring cause they aren't guaranteed to drop 35 points every time and you have to hope that you're able to end the game while holding onto the ball just to beat them. They're more balanced than in years prior, even if part of that is that the offense (WRs) regressed. They can definitely beat anyone else, and in a high enough confidence interval that puts them into the 'good' category.

Borsche69 posted:you have to hope that you're able to end the game while holding onto the ball just to beat them. I think this is where the noticeable regression lies and what's loving with everyone. If there's like 1:30 or whatever on the clock and one/two timeouts, the Chiefs are no longer guaranteed to score a game winning TD, or even a game tying FG. Which is not necessarily bad - it's normal - it just feels really loving weird when they don't do it.
