That's a tough ejection on the Winston hit. He didn't slide. And because he didn't, it resulted in a helmet to helmet.

Tyreke Hill hospitalized, getting worked on by an ortho trauma surgeon. Apparently his shoulder injury did something to his sternum. No idea what's happening there.
Maybe one of the Sosh doctor contingent can translate this into layman's terms:

He had a sternal clavicular joint injury which is where your clavicle comes into your sternum. Those can be injured coming out the front, up top, or in the back. If it goes posteriorly, or back, it becomes a medical issue for us so that we worry that there's more problems. His came back posteriorly and he didn't have any medical issue but we still transported him to Baptist Medical Center and we turned his care over to Brett Frykberg who is an ortho-trauma physician. Scott Mullen, one of our physicians, is with him, he's from Kansas University Health System. He's being treated there to reduce the dislocation or the injury. We don't have anymore update on that.

Alexander did lower his helmet before the hit but that’s a natural action for a guy who’s been playing football probably since he was 9. Gonna be hard to play and officiate this game going forward.

Lamar Jackson's over under on TD passes this year was 16.5. He threw 5 today.
Wow, Vegas must have thought he had a 50/50 chance of losing his job to RG3, as it’s hard to imagine a healthy starting QB failing to throw 17 TD passes.

Actually, I don't know. He wasn't exactly set up for success. Not sure how much he could do.
Oh, he's not setup for success at all this season. I was just making a joke that he didn't include coaching in the list of things they needed to get better at, which Belichick always does after a loss.

It shouldn’t be. Gotta teach kids to tackle properly.

If you want to get hits like that out of the game, you need to hand out ejections for hits like that one.

Yes, in Pop Warner, junior high, etc. going forward, teach them the right way, but all the players in the NFL now were taught the now wrong way and it’s hard to change.

It means the dislocation of the joint where the clavicle meets the sternum, up near his neck, is dislocated in a way that it risks damage to the tissue behind it, which includes all kinds of really important stuff. So they take a lot more precautions rather than for the primary dislocation injury itself.
Yes but I want to understand is if Chiefs fan Jason Whitlock says God and Karma are going to destroy the Patriots for signing Brown, is this injury due to chance, bad karma on the Chiefs, payback on Hill, or God hating Whitlock?

Terrible call in Seattle. If you’re going to call a penalty there (and I wouldn’t), it should be on the Seahawks.

Completely changes the flow of the game.

I agree. That was an extremely shitting and bad call. There have been a few of those today. The first guy to hit gets away with it and then the retaliation is flagged. They need to watch that a little closer.

If there’s a team that’s going to come out of nowhere this year to make noise, like the Eagles did two years ago, it’s the Bengals.

If the Cards go 0-16, do you think they dump Kyler?
Depends on how Kyler looks. A lot of rookie QBs who end up being good are shitty as rookies (Jared Goff being a good recent example), but if you’ve seen enough to know you made a mistake, you have to cut bait.

If the Cards go 0-16, they’ll have a new coach next season, so that’s a factor too.

Right now, he looks about 5’10”...

Man, their team has very little talent, tho. The Eagles had an awesome team two years ago.

I think a coaching change in Cincy was long overdue — not that Marvin Lewis is incompetent, but he went stale there 3-4 years ago. I think we’re going to discover that the talent on hand was better than we thought, beginning with Andy Dalton.

Dalton looked awesome early last year
