Nfl must change playoff concussion protocol
I'm still sour about Jamaal Charles, then flowers getting knocked out of the Colts playoff game a few years ago. Regular season... Sure. But ending a season on a doctors fuzzy opinion? Yeah, not a fan of that at all.
I'd argue that concussion protocol can make playoff games even more dangerous. We saw with bountygate what lengths a team will go to to knock a player out. What incentive does a DC have to not coach dirty football they can get away with? It's easy to play super dirty without risk of targeting. Maybe Wentz didn't want to go back in. We know that Jamaal Charles was super pissed years ago that he couldn't. What say you... Is this an nfl rule that needs to be re-thought? |

If someone dies the NFL ceases to exist. Why would the NFL risk losing billions?

All the NFL in-game deaths, are just astounding.

Imagine the firestorm on here if Mahomes enters concussion protocol during the Texans game.

And do we really think DCs aren't looking at the Seattle game and telling their players to maybe add a little bit of extra dirty to a few hits? Do we really think there isn't still less obvious bountygate shit still not going on? On one play, Seattle knocked out the most important eagle... And clowney didn't get ejected let alone penalized. Huge advantage for the Seahawks. I'm not saying there's an easy solution. But the protocol isn't making the game as safe as the NFL wants to pretend it is. |

How would that stop DCs who are telling their players to "add some extra dirty" from telling their players to keep adding the "extra dirty" until a player is all the way ****ed up? |

ONLY way these issues get fixed is a referee sitting in a booth reviewing every play and making sure as hell he doesnt miss ANY head to head contact.
I'm all for more replay, I'm all for more challenges, I'm all for a "safer" game.... but missing those types of play is now not a reason for no penalty. I'd add to that that the player who causes another player to be forced to leave a game for head to head contact should also not be able to finish the game. |

You still aren't addressing the whole dirty hits concern. Why would removing the protocol make players not hit dirty? The only thing that would change if they removed the protocol is that they'd be able to hit the QB even more after the initial concussion. I don't see how that's a solution.

Yeah the best way to stop this would be the player of same position is also removed from the game. In other words take out my starting QB yours is also out of the game.
