Perhaps no one is replying because there is nothing more to be said. Last nights game left little doubt as to who is more explosive.

Maybe credibility? The team (albeit through their ex-VP) came out and publicly stated that he wouldn't lose his job this season. If I were Snyder, I wouldn't ruin my credibility by firing him with only 2 games remaining in the season. Having said that, he appears to have "earned" a firing. I...

Has there been any update on this? Will we know if it was considered by Elias and determined to be scored correctly?

Greg Jennings

Agreed. Forget about the fact that they're athletes, except for the fact that they have the cash to spend on expensive cars. Would anyone visit a post that said "27 year old gets speeding ticket"? Is there a place on the planet that doesn't have young drivers going really fast? Now if Bud Adams...

Doesn't Minnesota have no speed limit in some parts of the state? Or is that Montana?

Alot of people are drawing the conclusion that the Colts have performed poorly in the playoffs as a result of resting their starters. That causal relationship is complete opinion and one that management doesn't seem to share.

I think you need to change it. As you have quoted from the rules, I don't think the 0-11 team made "an attempt to play their best players to ensure a legitimate outcome." For what it's worth, I would feel differently if that was Kurt Warner, who was not necessarily declared out until Sunday. A...

FWIW I would consider that double screen fake a "cute" play call also, but you loved it because it worked. I did too, but if the MLB held his position and it was picked off, it would have been considered another cute Payton playcall.

Someone posted a link to a New Yorker article that compared football to dog fighting. At the risk of a huge side argument on that point, let me say that from the psychology of the participants, this may not be a bad analogy. Football players have effectively been taught to sacrifice their bodies...

I buy that the PAT is an untimed part of the TD, and therefore must be played even if no time is left on the clock. But why wouldn't a team just take a knee? Why not line up in the victory formation?

Without knowing the original quote from Schwartz, it's possible that he's calling out the offensive line too. The point is well taken that Kevin Smith may bare the brunt of the blame, but from the TV angle it's hard to tell what kind of holes there are to run through.

You keep using concussion and hard hit interchangeably. Not every hard hit results in a concussion, and a concussion can be identified as having occurred. You are correct that the severity might not be readily known at the time or even within the next few days, but having any level of concussion...

That's a pretty powerful article. It definitely makes me doubt whether I'd want my own children to become football players.

I agree with this 100%.I don't understand the OP. Are you opposed to taking a conservative approach to an individual's long term health so they can get back in the game? I'm not a fan of knee jerk reactions either, but I don't see a problem with holding a player out of the remainder of a game if...
