He is injured and on IR.
It is clearly documented that he aggravated the injury in the Tampa game, the impetus for the injury becoming season ending. It wasn’t before it got worse.

I didn’t ignore the link, I explained numerous times it doesn’t say what you think it does, because it doesn’t.

Yes it is very simple, and you know the truth but insist on playing a game.


If you are serious with your argument then explain to me how it could be possible that he isn’t playing playing because the cowboys are out, it he played against Tamia after the cowboys were already out? And how it is a fact that he suffered a more severe injury in that game, and then everyone involved us saying the injury got worse so they had to shut him down.

I'd rather you explain to me why you think that someone who passed concussion protocol somehow can't get worse during the week as if it doesn't literally happen every week.
 
if buffalo sits their starters goodell should investigate them and dock draft picks. what about the integrity of the game roger or is it only the patriots you scrutinize?



ps...happy new year everyone.
Buffalo has nothing to gain by sitting players except being more competitive in the playoffs. Losing or wining this game doesn’t make a difference for them
The Patriots would be throwing the game because winning hurts them.

So in other words you have no answer gotcha.

If you don’t have a concussion your concussion cannot get worse.

No. I ignored it when you said the link doesn't say what I think it does when it's literally the first paragraph.

Again, your concussion take is so egregious that I have no choice but to think you're trolling.

The very premise of my ****ing argument is that that concussion hasn't presented it self yet you dimwit.

But what do you expect from someone who doesn't understand that a weaker SOS doesn't make you a worse team.

He passed a quick concussion test.

That isn't exactly the gold star of brain science.

There's nothing wrong with cautiously sitting your rookie QB in a meaningless game after getting whacked in the head where his bell was obviously rung. This after he was already in concussion protocol this year.

Let the league protest that.

A writer who doesn’t cover the team speculation is not valid proof.

You think that a player gets a concussion and it shows up a week later.

Just admit you want to throw the game then you don’t need fake injuries to hide it.

Ah the strength of schedule argument. The old how do we do a tie breaker if we don’t know how they would have done in games they didn’t play.
If team A goes 3-14 against 17 playoffs teams, and team b goes 3-14 against 17 teams with losing records it’s pretty clear tram b was worse.
But let’s dredge up all of your old stupid arguments again because you lost this one right?
Everyone wants to keep reading about you insecurity.

He didnt have a concussion. Sure if you want to throw the game you can lie and fake an injury. Im just saying be honest and don’t try to argue the fake injury is real.

why doesn't SOS determine the entire draft but only the first round?

If it's such a impenetrable obvious and clear as day tie breaker that makes sense and everyone is happy? It's because it's ****ing junk and not equal to all teams. If it was basketball or hockey? Sure. Everyone plays the same teams. Makes no sense in NFL.

Your concussion take is a disgustingly ignorant one that intentionally ignores nuance. If a player DOESNT have a concussion that means they don't have a concussion.

That's not my argument. My argument is that a player NOT diagnosed with a concussion doesn't mean he doesn't have one. The fact that you refuse that premise when it's been a problem for the NFL for decades is why I know you lack critical thinking orrrrrrr intentionally dragging out this useless exercise. You do not have to accept my argument. But the fact that you can't even understand it is hilarious.



Lamb would play if he had something to play for. Clear as day. If YOUR argument was correct, he wouldn't of been playing Tampa at all.

No one in NFL history has ever passed concussion protocol with a concussion that presented it self later - Andy.


No seriously. This is Andy's take. No. One. In NFL history. Has ever had a concussion present it self. AFTER I initial examination.

This guy is serious too.

You don't seem to be able to think past black and white.

Kraft cheap. Not a concussion.

A concussion is not a line in the sand like a broken bone. Even if it wasn't an NFL defined concussion, Maye showed symptoms on the field right after the hit.

We can talk about this after you read up on concussions.

Kraft cheap based upon a 30 year analysis of his actions is not black and white.

Players checked out and determined not to have concussions in a system that is overwhelming driven in keeping them out of there is an doubt who are cleared and keep playing down 30 on a 3 win team, do not gave concussions.

He did not show symptoms of a concussion.
Again, just say you want to throw the game, it’s not necessary to make up injuries. That is all this is. People who want to throw the game looking for an excuse to not play him.
I want to lose the game, but I have integrity in what I say.

Drake Maye didn’t have a concussion.
 
He did not show symptoms of a concussion.

He dropped the ball. It wasn't a fumble. It just dropped.

Classic concussion symptom.

It's not making up injuries.

You're making up like you know something about concussions, which you clearly do not.

Just look at how he's handling the concussion debate with me. He will not capitulate that a player has passed NFL concussion protocol with a concussion and then missed the next week with worsening symptoms in NFL history.

When it's categorically been a issue for the NFL for decades.

This is why you can’t be taken seriously.

Strength of schedule is the best measure of comparing records in draft slotting, in the NFLs opinion.
Why? Well I didn’t write the rules, but it would seem clear that when you are breaking ties across potentially multiple divisions and conferences the regular tie breakers would be watered down and probably useless.
Having the dancers against an easier schedule seems a reasonable tie breaker. And seems fair.

You turn this into
If it's such a impenetrable obvious and clear as day tie breaker that makes sense and everyone is happy?

And then your argument is it’s bad because you don’t know who would have won the games that weren’t played. It’s a stupid argument that you insist on revisiting and losing many times over.

As far as Lamb, are you kidding me?

You say he isn’t playing because he has nothing to play for. He had nothing to play fit against Tampa they were eliminated before that game. Thanks for admitting I am right.

I cited numerous sources that he aggravated the injury in the Tampa games and that is what changed. He could play up until then, and it got worse now he can’t. Thanks for proving me right again.

SOS doesn't even determine rounds 2-7

He fumbled the ball when he got hit.

Yes you are. He played the rest of the game. The medical staff determined, in an overly cautious atmosphere, that he was fine.

Do you really think if there was any doubt the future of the franchise would be playing in a 40-7 blowout on a 3-13 team? If there was ever a reason to operate with an abundance of caution this is it.

I’m not making anything up, I’m looking at clear facts.
 
SOS doesn't even determine rounds 2-7
Yes it does. They rotate based upon SOS to mitigate the advantage of the tie breaker.
That has nothing to do with whether it is a valid metric and/or the best metric
