  1. FYI: You’re absolutely right to be concerned — what you describe (vomiting after a head-impact in football) is a serious red flag that warrants immediate medical attention. Let’s break this down into two key parts: 1. What we know happened with Jaycee Horn Horn, cornerback for the Carolina Panthers, was evaluated for a concussion during the game vs the San Francisco 49ers after what was described as a head impact (or likely head/neck-whip event) and was seen vomiting on the sideline after his second interception. The team reported that during halftime he began to feel nauseous, and that prompted their training staff to rule him out for the remainder of the game. So yes — vomiting is confirmed in this case, and the concussion protocol has been triggered. 2. What vomiting after a concussion typically indicates Vomiting in the context of a head injury is not automatically a guarantee of catastrophic brain damage, but it does significantly raise concern and changes the urgency and level of monitoring required. Some key points: Vomiting (and nausea) are listed as possible symptoms of a concussion. Importantly: Vomiting right after a head impact, with no other cause (e.g., not from food poisoning, motion sickness alone) is considered a warning sign. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists “vomiting right after the injury without other cause” among the signs to watch for. In older literature, post‐traumatic vomiting has been associated with a statistically higher risk of skull fractures and more serious intracranial injury. For example one study showed that in patients fully alert at presentation, vomiting doubled the relative risk of skull fracture. Practically: vomiting suggests that the brain’s regulation of nausea/vomiting centres, or intracranial pressure, or vestibular/inner‐ear/balance systems might be affected by the trauma. However, having one episode of vomiting alone without other worsening signs doesn’t necessarily mean a catastrophic injury — but it raises the bar for “must perform full evaluation, imaging if needed, strict monitoring”. For example, one article notes: “While isolated vomiting is unlikely to predict a clinically important brain injury by itself, when combined with other symptoms it becomes much more concerning.” 3. What it means: in the sports / concussion‐protocol context Given the above, if a player vomits after a head impact: They must be removed from play right away (which appears to have happened with Horn). They should be evaluated by qualified medical personnel (team physician, athletic trainer) for concussion and also for possible more serious intracranial injury (e.g., bleeding, skull fracture) depending on mechanism. They should undergo concussion protocol: rest, no sport until cleared, graded return to activity (physical / cognitive) under medical supervision. Additional imaging (CT, MRI) might be considered if there are further alarming signs (worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, unequal pupils, increasing confusion, focal neurologic deficits). The presence of vomiting may also predict a longer or more complicated recovery (so implementing conservative management is prudent). It heightens the need to watch for “second-impact syndrome” if return to play is rushed and another head trauma occurs before full recovery. 4. My summary answer to your specific question It’s not always a guarantee of the worst (e.g., massive bleed or catastrophic brain injury), but it is very serious and should be treated as though it could be a major concern. Vomiting increases the risk profile of the injury and demands more caution, stricter monitoring, and likely more conservative management. The fact that Horn vomited means his injury should be managed under the highest standards of sports‐concussion care and shouldn’t be down‐played.
  2. He will get another year minimum. He signed a 6 year deal and from a win perspective he’s trending up even with horrific QB play all year (with the exception of 2 games)
  3. Jesus. What in the Hell do we do with this guy. He’s everything all at once depending on the day/play. Of course you don’t extend him but this offseason we have to decide on the 5th year option.
  4. This is sad and a direct reflection of our head coach. We all know rule 101 as a player is to not speak about issues with players or the team to the media. Multiple players are making comments, and it shows that Dave does not have the locker room. If what the players are saying is true (why wouldn’t it be?) Dave should be man enough to show the team that it won’t be tolerated. Maybe Dave is a little too comfortable with that 6 year contract that he signed and knows he’s good either way.
  5. Pathetic football. It’s impossible to watch. This is supposed to be an offensive minded coach and we are absolutely horrific on offense
  6. It’s sad our offense has to pray that we can keep the opposite team under 17 points each week to have a chance to win
  7. Good. This isn’t worth watching, much less driving long distances, waiting in traffic, and paying large amounts of money to watch. We are letting a garbage team dominate us currently.
  8. No. Stop trading away talent and continue to build the team. Look at all the talented people we have traded away over the last 5 years and tell me which one worked out for us. There is a reason Daniel Jones, Baker, Darnold etc can go to other teams and succeed. They have talented players around them, and we have a very small amount of players on our team that are core guys. Brown is one of them
  9. As much as people hated on him, it sure would be nice to have Burns right about now. People flipped over the contact he got which looks like a great deal in return, and he’s leading the league in sacks.
  10. It’s unreal. It makes us look even dumber for trading Burns while he’s leading the league in sacks and we “couldn’t afford his asking price” which looks like a very good deal now seeing that pass rushers are making
  11. I get wanting to defend Canalas but at the end of the day, I see coaches every season take over a trash team and turn them into something (see Mike Vrabel this season, Quinn last year etc). I still don’t know what the hell our identity is, that at a minimum should not even be questioned, you should be able to see his footprint on some area of the team.
  12. The game will be over by the end of the 1st quarter. We score less than 10 points total.
  13. Shout out to Wallace though for saving a game losing TD in the 4th quarter.
  14. Pie for these monsters. Thank god they saved this terrible game for us.
  15. It’s funny that people still worry about the cap more than losing proven talent in critical positions. look at the talent we have had over the last 5 years. We try to compensate with draft picks that don’t work out, and FA signings above the amnesty value that don’t pan out either and we are stuck with garbage talent, no depth and middle of the road cap. You pay people like Icky. Young prevent talented LT’s don’t grow on trees.
  16. If I were a betting man, I would go all in on this prediction.
  17. This should probably be pinned. Just like every year, all hope is lost 4 games into the season. This will be ongoing, but we currently hold the number 8 overall pick. It is extremely likely that we will end up much higher, as I don’t see many winnable games unless we make a change to the burnt out red rocket.
  18. I guess the point of this thread was to question if Canales or Bryce are actual leaders of men. Say what you want about Ron, but no one questioned his ability to hold a locker room full of football players accountable. It’s a highly underrated quality of a head coach and a QB. Bryce sounds like a child when he speaks and Canales is a rah rah overly positive young coach. When you have a leader running the team, you don’t see performances like we have. Look at what Wilks did to the team, we quickly formed an identity, became a much more physical team, and challenged people on game day. Even though the results were mixed you could tell what type of team we were, and see improvements. It does not take that long to do like people claim.
