2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

Crazy calls both ways towards the end, but satisfying win nonetheless. Leave Heinicke in. He's limited, and I still think overall would be better for us to get as high a pick as possible to draft a QB, but can't help but root for the guy.

I didn't see the game but was that roughing the passer penalty at the end legit?

Yeah, Heinicke takes a knee giving himself up to keep clock running and 2 Eagles players run into him a full second and a half to 2 seconds later. Maybe right on the edge, but they definitely could have made a bigger effort to slow up.

It was super undisciplined play by the defense

I kind of agreed that it did look like he was starting to try to slow up potentially, but there was enough time to realize and avoid most if not all the contact.

The thing is about the expert they fired, is they said he followed the protocol and did nothing wrong in that regard.

Almost like the NFLPA stands to gain from being a victim of unsafe work environment and the NFL only cares looking good and protecting its bottom line

When a player gives themself up, as he did, anything besides one or two hand touch is required to be flagged. It's been that way since Peyton Manning days at least.

Yes. Not the most egregious I've seen, but he clearly took a knee and then got hit like 2 full seconds later

He let a player with clear and unambiguous signs of a traumatic brain injury back into the game. He was fired for exercising poor medical judgment that endangered Tua's life. Any member of the Dolphin's medical staff involved in clearing Tua to return to that game should be fired as well, but obviously Miami will never do that.

Finding a loophole in the protocol that allows him to dismiss a display of gross motor instability following a hit to the head is not 'doing nothing wrong'.

I guess the Russell haters have been somewhat justified. Meanwhile Pete Carrol making Geno Smith look like comeback player of the year.

Russell ruined his own legacy. After all the dirt that was aired about him once he traded from the Seahawks, I lost a lot of respect I had for him.

Wanting to be MVP and Tom Brady ruined him. Its all ego that killed him and led him to where he is right now
