New Orleans at Carolina (1 Viewer)

Patellar tendon maybe? 

Think it was a combination of pain + knowing it was a season ending injury.

Hope not...that would be the worst.  I was thinking broken bone till they let him stand up.  That often means acl...I think patellar gets him lifted onto the cart...

 
Hard to tell whether Collinsworth was praising NO for their methodical drive. He certainly didn't seem to be bashing them for it. Technically, still time since they have two TOs and the 2 minute warning, but they could have easily done this a bit faster.

 
Is Brees hurt or something this is crazy how much they are running and how quickly he is checking down?

Been checking down all game barely throwing down filed.

Not sure I have seen a team losing by this much so late in the game wth such a lack of urgency.

Yeah Cris should have gone after them more.  It's totally rolling the dice on your defense holding perfectly.    Brees is obviously more than capable of running some hurry-up

Still seems like Saints would have benefited from having more than 20 seconds to drive for a FG...but what do I know?

 
I'll take that last play as a desperate Thomas owner, but what a give-up.  Didn't even try the lateral-fumble-backtoss craziness that serious teams run when trying to steal a win.

Have the Saints already quit on the season?

 
Not that they had a chance, but weird to not even look like they were going to attempt a lateral. PItt did the same thing against Dallas Sunday. Just threw a quick pass to A. Brown who ran it down field without lateraling.

Needed a lateral or reverse or something.   The play could have developed into something with some misdirection.

Yeah I don't think it's such a bad idea to just give it to your playmaker and see if he can turn it into something, but it's weird when they don't even try and lateral when they're dead to rights. 

 
The Saints showed no urgency or any real desire to win.   Carolina tried their best to fold by going three and out three times.   But even with that, it was the Saints who ate up the clock.  

 
He was hyperventilating too, was one of the scariest things I've ever seen on a football field.

Been doing some quick reading and apparently it is called post-concussion syndrome - symptoms can include confusion, panic, uncontrollable emotion (such as crying), etc.

All of a sudden, I kind of want Luke Kuechly to pull a Borland and just retire from football. For his own well-being.

edit: Borland, not Bowman.

Yea. He looked absolutely terrified and unaware of anything going on. Scary thing to watch. I'm a huge panther fan, but he needs to seriously consider retirement. For his own well being.

Edit: Ingram also. To me it looked like he went half-stiff. He lost the ability to hold the ball as he was still falling and he arms both went stiff. NFL has a massive problem on their hands with concussions and they are doing absolutely nothing about it.

What an overstatement. If he's cleared by medical staff, how long does he sit out before it not the NFL's fault.

His history of confusions and that reaction by keuchly is a scary combination.  I never said it was "the NFL's fault". I said if the NFL was serious about concussions this is the A #1 example where they should take action beyond "if his medical staff clears him" because that was terrifying. 

In my non-medical opinion, he shouldn't be allowed near a football field for quite a while. His last big one was 3 weeks IIRC.

I'll be shocked if he's medically cleared anytime soon. 

I don't think it's an overstatement at all.

He got KTFO. Not sure it looked as bad as Keuchly but it wasn't good. He was back up pretty quickly and arguing with trainers to go back in. But it was clear he was knocked out.

Thomas rookie stripes showed IMO. Veteran players lateral there Thomas let himself go to the ground

Yeah, got to give it a shot anyway. Like he was happy to pad his stats and leave it at that. 

Brown did the exact same thing at the end of the Steelers/Cowboys game on Sunday, so hard to blame on rookie status.  I was more surprised by that because he is a vet.
