It’s been a bad year. Tua concussion issues, that Giants player doing snow angels while Foles was down, now Hamlin. Parents still let their kids play football??? Very risky sport. 

My son finally got a green light from my wife to play football few weeks ago and my wife just said it’s not happening after this injury.

I don’t want to sound disrespectful to Damar or his family, I wish him the best and prayers going forward. I just hope the NFL and NFLPA don’t have a knee jerk reaction before knowing all the details such as health history and diagnoses. 
 

With all the concussions and information about CTE and now this there could be some changes coming.

I played in college, and even though everyone around you is getting dinged and injured, you somehow don't think of it happening to you.  The warrior mentality takes over.  I can say that when I was injured twice and the surgeon told me that I was done, there was a part of me that was relieved.  The decision I never wanted to make was made for me, and I found immediate peace with it.  I found other things to do, and they did not hurt as much.  So if this experience helps him find peace off the field, I get it.

    • KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.
    • Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.  
    • Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
