If I were a Seahawks fan and wanted to bitch about something beyond my a terrible play call from my offensive coordniator I would be really upset that Cliff Avril got taken out of the game for a concussion whereas Julian Edelman didn't even miss a play and ended up catching the winning touchdown.

Hey NFL, can you please create rules that remove referees from the playing area inside the 10 yard line so receivers can't use them to setup pick plays for touchdowns? tia

I fuckin' KNEW Edelman was concussed the instant it happened. Anybody would have been. He kept catching balls and making yards, and then after each play was over he'd lose all his motor control again for a few seconds. There was one where he just looked dead for a three-count before staggering away again.

I didn't notice this at all during the game but that's really, really bad. I assume he covered up the concussion but its assumed that players will try to cover them up and you've got to have the decency to pull them anyway. It is sort of surprising to me though that someone who is concussed can still play football well (not just edelman), how the hell does that work?

evilweasel posted:yeah I obviously don't want to bitch about the refs and both teams benefited from how the game was called and sort of relied on it - its just bizarre to try and deny the punt call was botched because that's the one case where there's basically no judgement call at all Yeah and that one had me completely loving stumped... but I'm not the only one. Collinsworth sounded like he wanted to leave the booth and go yell at the refs himself.

I'm kind of surprised Collinsworth didn't at least say something in passing, but I guess they don't want to second-guess the medical experts on the sideline (hah, like Belichick would have let a doctor anywhere near Edelman). Looking for video clips now. Edelman must be one tough motherfucker, but it shouldn't have been up to him. I felt like I was watching years being shaved off his life every time he took a hit after that. evilweasel posted:It is sort of surprising to me though that someone who is concussed can still play football well (not just edelman), how the hell does that work? I dunno. He didn't look like he could even see past his facemask.

Bill Belichick and decency are incompatible concepts, like a pass play on 2nd down at the 1 yard line with Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. Honestly, that poo poo is worse than when the Braves were eliminated from the play-offs and didn't send in Crag Kimbrell once the entire post season.

I assume it's cuz Avril basically got knocked the gently caress out and it was immediately obvious they had to take him off the field, while Edelman stayed on his feet, made a play, and was able to get back into the huddle so even though we all know he his brains scrambled he managed to not give the Patriots any reason to take him out of the game.

I think Edleman was operating on pure muscle memory at that point.

You know, that makes sense. After one catch I legitimately thought he had a hip injury cuz he looked like poo poo getting on his feet. Don't remember the hit that started it but then again I was processing a lot of wings and beer at that time...

From my understanding after the Colt McCoy fiasco the NFL is supposed to have an independent doctor there to watch the game and tell the teams when to pull a player from the game to have them tested. I'm not claiming that Edelman definitely had a concussion or anything, but that he was allowed to continue in the game without even being check was a little eyebrow raising.

They actually ran a replay of the hit where Edelman got concussed, you could see his head snap around like a bobblehead doll

i heard somebody in the office bitching about blatantly not only paying off the refs but a conspiracy about how obviously seattle was threatened into doing the pass -> interception on purpose and punctuate it with "deflatriots" dude's a major loving bandwagon fan since he started caring about the seahawks about oh last year second half of the season so it's even funnier well that's my tale, also nobody ever say "deflatriot" because jesus christ

Edelman took a brutal helmet to helmet hit from what I remember. I am surprised it isn't a bigger story today considering all the head injury stuff this year.

Me and my friends missed Edelman getting hit and thought he pulled a muscle in his leg or something juking somebody because he was having a hard time walking between plays but after the ball was snapped couldn't have performed better. It looked a lot more like playing through pain than someone barely knowing where they were.

I didn't know Edelman was hurt, I just saw him bringing down passes like a monster. Anyone have a relevant clip of where it happened and his behavior afterwards? As for the running into the kicker thing, I've posted before how I dislike the rule a lot and was just playing off that. Its a serious thing to run into a plant leg, and is super dangerous to kickers. I just dislike the rule because it means punts are super rarely blocked because of the harsh penalty for doing so. Hawks should have been called for it for sure. I just thought the intentional grounding was super egregious as was the arm flip trip on the pass play against the Seattle receiver. Of course if the Hawks had won, I wouldn't be salty. They lost so I'm mega salty. I wasn't aware that using the ref was INTENTIONAL. It didn't look like it in the replay, only that he was changing direction.

If you didn't KNOW Edelman was hurt, that's cool. If you didn't THINK Edelman was hurt, you need stop posting your opinions on the internet. As for the 2nd bold...

He took a helmet to helmet hit and looked off getting up. A few plays leter he caught a pass over the middle, took a step after getting up and lurched to the side, at which point Collinsworth mentioned a hip injury or something. He was obviously not with it. Brady missed him on the first pass to the endzone and Edelman was laying on the ground like a corpse for a good ten seconds. Like I'm glad he caught the pass and the man has my utmost gratitude for helping us win but he should not have been in the game at all after the first hit.
