Uh... yes. There was nothing the defender should have done differently. It was a football play. Injuries happen.

Yeah, you're not smart.

that looked like a football play to me. Moving at those speeds, wasnt enough time to let up for the Lawrence slide. And the slide is what caused helmet to helmet. It didnt look intentional at all. Reaction overboard. Unfortunate injury, but it was just a football play.

He's so obviously getting ready to slide that I have to assume this is a troll post. Plus he launched into Lawrence, he knew what he was doing.

do titans suck that bad?

Let down game after beating the Texans. Granted the Texans aren’t very good right now either

They are 3-8, so I think it's fair to say they do indeed suck that bad.

not trolling. Just not deciding to flip to the wrong side of the argument to appease you.

oh wow. wasnt even helmet to helmet like I initially thought since the play happened so fast. 

What is the most amount of losses a team has had while scoring 30 points in a game? If the bengals reach 30 today and lose that would be 4 times

Middle son got his official acceptance letter from University of Illinois today. Offering $38,000 scholarship over 4 years. He's still undecided as he's also been accepted to NIU, Illinois State, SIU. Wants to either study engineering or business. The engineering program at U of I is intense, but it's also like the 5th best school in the country. He's worried he doesn't have the chops for it.

Anyone else have a kid accepted to a major school but they're hesitant because of the school's perceived difficulty?

That’s awesome!  Push him to take it, i don’t know much about engineering and rankings of schools…but I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that engineering is still one of those paths where the school on your degree carries a lot of weight, plus if it’s intense that means the connections from attending give you a leg up as well.

That punch was just a bang-bang play, bro. Happens all the time in football.

I think that hit was definitely late, but he didn't look like he was intentionally trying to hurt him. Also, Trevor has to slide earlier, but I get that he's trying to pickup the first down. Sucks he got injured

Edit. After seeing the other angle, his forearm to the helmet, yeah it's dirty.

The was definitely offsides

If I were Howie I would sigh him after February 1st to a futures contract and see whether Fangio and Co can redeem him.

When Rodgers gets trucked by Henry but stopped by Mitchell and Cooper, and Wiggins gets trucked by Saquon or Hurts, you’ll see why Forbes will never work.

When sliding you are not protecting yourself like a regular football play. The equipment protects you when you are facing the other direction. That was a dirty head-hunting play and in a league where the DL looks funny at the QB and gets a personal foul, Al-Shaair should get a suspension and fine. 

Fletcher Cox was good last year, so if you bring him back for cheap of course you do it. Doubt he actually wants to.

He will due to the forearm to the facemask/helmet. I initially thought it was a late hit but not dirty till I saw the other angle.

He was making fun of HE and his idiotic belief that it was a football play

A throwback to the Raiders teams with Kenny Stabler, Art Shell, et al. Run and throw deep.

Stabler brought that with him to the Oilers.

People complain about all the penalties for DL and CBs saying the league has become soft. At the same time see a bang bang football play, call it dirty and call for fines and suspensions. LOL.

I was mocking, HE. Of course a forearm through the head is head hunting. 100% dirty hit.

It’s hard to see Penn State dropping out of the playoffs, but IDK that you should say thank you.  Unless a miracle happens a home playoff game probably won’t be on the table unless Franklin magically learns how to coach.

Franklin finally brought in an imaginative OC.  Different play with him and that defense is so stocked.  Realistically think they have a chance against Oregon.
