He should have stayed on the ground and got his bearings back. The moment he tried to stand and stumbled, I knew he wasn't coming back in. It would have been a horrible look for the NFL.

More deaths? There have been no deaths from a single injury, and that includes guys who played with leather helmets, or no helmet at all.
Every broken neck I can recall was suffered by a player wearing a helmet, and lowering the head was almost always involved...which wouldn't happen if heads were more exposed. |

And you're delusional if you think players are really going to change how they play instantly because they don't have helmets on. Saying take the helmets off and there will be less head and neck injuries is like saying take seat belts off cars and there will be less car deaths. |

So, I'm not complaining about mahomes. I totally get that. Even if it wasn't a concussion, not a good look to get him back on the field.
But I still feel the concussion rules need to be re-thought. Just last week two superstar qbs left a playoff game with a concussion. As much as the rule claims to be about player safety you're inviting the next bountygate. A dirty defense can send hatchet men to lay a dirty hit on a qb knowing the huge advantage it gives to the defense. 15, yards or even an ejection are worth it if it hurts or ejects the qb. While I would start mahomes without hesitation it does make me nervous that the bills may play a little more dirty this week knowing our qb situation. I don't know how you fix that. At the very least, at least expand the rules for sitting players (usually defense) out who cause a concussion. If the rules are going to be extra safe about putting players in concussion protocol then rules for the hitter should be extra strict. |

Wut? Nobody is stopping the players from playing or eating. We're talking about rules to prevent concussion. If a hotel has rules that could help prevent a rogue staff member poisoning someone of course you'd explore it.

I think his point might be that there's the same amount of evidence for people trying to poison Qbs as there is that people are trying to deliberately cause concussions for QBs.

It was a stupid response to your (no offense) stupid post. If the defense is sending "hatchet men" to purposely give Mahomes a concussion, why they hell would they care if those players were suspended.

I don't think all teams are that dirty. But these days it seems like lots of defenses are putting that little extra. The ravens get away with this shit all the time. You may not plan to put Mahomes in a concussion. But could they be coached to come in a little late or hit with a little extra mustard? Probably. Is the NFL going to be very strict about mahomes concussion protocol if he's even a little slow to get up? Absolutely. So yeah, why wouldn't that motivate a defense to play a little dirtier than usual. |

Nfl must change playoff concussion protocol
