Stafford dinged up?

After Hutchinson hit him legal, watch the 2nd hit. Forearm to the head and Stafford's helmet hit the turf hard.

This. Hutchinson was fine. The second hit was late. I think the step on the shoulder was accidental.

I thought they were both late, but the second hit exasperated the 1st. He could have pulled up. That was reckless.

So bad calls are even. Both killed drives for each team.

 

[crushedspirit]

Refs had to make an impact at some point

"Exacerbated" , he whispered...

 

[General Malaise]

No flag on that hit to Stafford? WTF? That was brutal.

 

[Deamon]

Looked like he got knocked out to me. Head hit twice. Might have been grabbing his arm trying to hide it.

Yep, exactly what collinsworth said... his eyes looked pretty boggly after that hit.

 

[ChiefD]

I’m done paying to watch football. Sunday Ticket has bumped me twice and re-started my feed to the pre-game. Both times during pivotal plays

I’ve had this happen twice in Hulu tonight. Did yours just do the same during commercials?

Autocorrect for the win.

 

[rockaction]

Man, I thought Goff threw a pick because he was throwing it to a guy on Detroit.

Need to re-calibrate here.

 

[Jayded]

Worst words a fan of any team wants to hear, “Now coming into the game for us, Carson Wentz…”

 

[BobbyLayne]

Golden Tate, Stephen Tulloch & Glover Quinn hyping up the crowd during the last break while shooting tee shirts into the crowd

 

[amnesiac]

Is it me.....or are injuries just spiraling out of control in the NFL.

Too big too strong too fast to sustain this violent game?

The QBs hold onto the ball longer than ever before.

Back in the day they got rid of the ball much faster when there was pressure .

 

[travdogg]

At least the Rams have Wentz. Say what you want about him, he's a lot better than most backup QBs, especially what the Rams had in previous years.

 

[Insein]

Interesting note, if Wentz comes in and plays the rest of the game, he will still not have played a whole playoff game.

 

[Todem]

Yeah that was ****ing dirty and cheap.

That kind of ****.....automatic ejection and suspension or it will never stop.

 

[Zeppelin]

Stafford looked dazed.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Carson Wentz Super Bowl redemption arc? Is it too late for the Rams to aign Foles as a back ip?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Stafford’s out of the tent ball in his hand

not coming out

 

[The Frankman]

There's been a lot of "letting them play" stuff that doesn't make sense to me. Even under "letting them play', it's still a penalty. And QBs are ridiculously protected to begin with.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Worst words a fan of any team wants to hear, “Now coming into the game for us, Carson Wentz…”

He looked ok last week.

And they think AI will take over the world.

 

[BobbyLayne]

not the most athletic QB

Not just QB's though....injuries are rampant all over the field.

No, in the middle of big plays. Annnnd it just did it again

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Such athleticism on display by Goff…..

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Puka took a late hit to the sideline earlier that I wondered about why no flag, too

I can't believe anybody who watched that would say otherwise. Ridiculous missed call.

Correct assessment.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Stafford’a a tough sob

 

[Jayded]

Worst words a fan of any team wants to hear, “Now coming into the game for us, Carson Wentz…”

He looked ok last week.

That’s how he gets ya every time

 

[karl.Racki]

Stafford would need to lose a limb to come out of this game..

 

[travdogg]

Rams D really stepped up there.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Such athleticism on display by Goff…..

he scored a TD earlier this year and came up short on his leap into the stands; had to jump twice

 

[Ministry of Pain]

At least the Rams have Wentz. Say what you want about him, he's a lot better than most backup QBs, especially what the Rams had in previous years.

Aren't you forgetting about Baker Mayfield?
He's leading the Bucs to a deep Playoff run, they're still alive

 

[msudaisy26]

Puka took a late hit to the sideline earlier that I wondered about why no flag, too

I thought that tackle started inbounds and carried them both out.

 

[Todem]

That guy is so washed. Rams would be dead in the water if he came in.

 

[Mt. Man]

Stafford’a a tough sob

Lions fans definitely remember the Cleveland game and aren't surprised.

 

[karl.Racki]

LAR D has stepped up, but I think Det play calling has been *** this half so far.

 

[Moonlight]

Such athleticism on display by Goff…..

Yep

 

[BobbyLayne]

nice punt

Fair, I was thinking more Rypien, Wolford etc.

 

[skol asylum]

Kid 'n Play are like 60 years old now. Geez.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Thanks, youtubetv, for letting me miss that Rams D stand for another Papa John’s commercial.

 

[Stoneworker]

Best mic'd up moment in NFL history was Stafford separating shoulder vs. Browns then coming in for 2-pt conversion after writhing in pain during a timeout. Epic

 

[karl.Racki]

Wait, did he say Kupp out of the tent? So last series, Williams, Puka, Stafford, and Kupp all hurt?

 

[ghostguy123]

Stafford not concussed? Ok

 

[Andy Dufresne]

"Sorry kid You're too good. We have to take you off the field."

 

[TartanLion]

Looked like he got knocked out to me. Head hit twice. Might have been grabbing his arm trying to hide it.

Good use of ‘boggly’

Not to compare middle school athletes to professionals, but my 13yo son plays football and rugby. Both tough violent sports and I've seen injuries in both, but football much more dangerous IMO because of all the pads. In rugby they learn proper tackling techniques, etc. because if you recklessly go full speed headfirst into someone you're just as likely to jurt yourself as them. In football they have this false confidence because they're wearing pads and helmets and just throw their bodies at each other at full speed trying to make the biggest impact possible.

Like you said, the size and speed of these guys is incredible and having them fire themselves like missiles at each other at full speed is unsustainable for the sport long-term. Would love to see the NFL somehow put more emphasis on things like making proper tackles as opposed to just trying to light people up, but that would be a whole culture shift in the sport.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

what a cluster.

And no penalty for the hit to the head on the sideline that caused it.

 

[The Frankman]

... huhn...
