Does "Questionable" tag always mean Game Time Decision? (1 Viewer)

Please clarify thanks.

no

the nfl has imposed a system on coaches where they attempt to quantify the chances of a guy playing each week -- probable meaning 75% chance, questionable = 50% chance.

coaches then have to try to make guesses as to how to label players, while at the same time 'cooking their books' so as to please the nfl, and blowing smoke to befuddle their opponent.

Thanks so sometimes they label a player Questionable but then add to it either they are probable or game time decisions?

they might add to it gtd, though, and you might get upgrades or downgrades in designations.

Technically, all players are game time decisions healthy or hurt. Teams have to announce their 45-man active roster on game day, and often players are healthy scratches.

Regardless of the injury designation (P, Q, D) a player is still a game time decision. An injury could get worse before the game. Players test out injuries during pregame warmups and sometimes get scratched based on how the injury feels. There's no magic official "GAME TIME DECISION" designator. Hurt players may play, may not. Healthy players usually play, sometimes don't. When most people use the phrase "game time decision" that usually means some injury needs to be tested the day of the game to see how it responds on the field under game-day conditions (weather, turf, temperature, etc.) after a lot of running, or cutting, or stretching, or whatever activity is needed. But this is an informal designation and has nothing to do with Ps, Qs, or Ds.

"Questionable" means 50/50 and you've got to be checking the active / inactives on game day. But you should be doing this anyway, even with guys who aren't on the injury report. Guys miss a team meeting on Saturday and get benched for the game (wasn't it MSW last year?).
