The concussion people cant straight up stop a game I dont think.

Cams next play off or if he would of been down on the field for a bit, they would have done the tests, but if he gets rock and rolled and toughs it out, they cant pull him themselves.

He definitely didn't, I made a joke about it not happening before it didn't happen.

There are things the Panthers need to work on as a team, no doubt. But it's still really hard to swallow this result when the officials allowed players to actively headhunt the reigning MVP, of all players, and did gently caress all about it.

But the reigning mvp is von Miller?

well now serious offenses that go beyond football shouldn't necessarily affect the football game itself any more than any other penalty. they are dealt with after the games and punished in a way that no intentional grounding ever could be. excuse me i've been vomiting on myself while typing this and will be back in a few

That's the way the rules work, although I could see an argument for a specific change where if there is roughing the quarterback on a play intentional grounding doesn't offset. Based on the idea that if you're fouling the guy throwing the ball he might not have a fair chance to throw it away.

Would have to be a rules committee thing after the season though.

Yeah, I don't blame the refs for calling that offsetting penalties, because it's the rule. I blame the NFL for that being the rule.

I do, however, blame the refs for the few times that Cam got hit helmet-to-helmet that the didn't see/call.

Yeah this is what I thought too. I didn't notice any obvious signs of a concussion, I'm sure he probably has one but he wasn't down on the field for an excessive amount of time or stumbling around so the concussion team couldn't pull him out

i think you will find plenty of impartial fans who are pretty disgusted with what happened, "sorry your team lost" is smarmy bullshit to pack on top of that

"it has always been that way" is true and that's why people are saying "gee that's loving stupid"

Yes, people are upset that the Panthers lost, not that a QB got nearly decapitated and the NFL treats it as seriously as a dead ball

So on that offsetting personal foul / intentional grounding call. By that rational, is it intentional grounding every time you headshot the QB and he drops the ball while crumpling to the ground unconscious? Apparently the rules are clear on this.

Defenses may need to change their approach.

I'm not sure I remember seeing a personal foul offset with grounding like that. Kinda makes sense for it to overrule the grounding, but them's the breaks.
