I think he probably DID pass the test. And I'd be surprised if the test wasn't properly administered.
I just think it MIGHT expose a small hole in the net. But the more you try to make this a 'judgment call' issue, the more you're going to open the door to criticism when someone gets pulled out by a judgment call during a playoff game or something.
The league should probably tread lightly here. They have made HUGE strides and I honestly think what they've put in place is sufficient. If the rules were followed, I don't think they should tinker with it too much.

Yeah. That’s a pretty decent take. If there has been 1000 protocols, which is low. If there (was) 256 regular season games. If it’s been 7 years that’s 2000 games. And he’ll that Indy playoff game there were like 5 of them.
But let’s say there have been 1000 protocols. If Sunday was the first concussion the protocol missed, that’s a 99.9% efficacy rate. FDA is clearing a medication at that efficacy rate.
And the reality is yes. It ****ing blows. It’s super compounded by the shit he ate yesterday, without question. But if that is legitimately the only miss, that’s not worth screwing with. Yeah it’s callus. Yeah it sucks but the reality is you can’t effectively legislate the violence out.
