I’m just looking forward to passes over the middle. I don’t even care if Kenny looks good doing it, I just want to see us try to run a new offense. If he can handle it, awesome. If he can’t, then we can go into the offseason knowing we need a new QB.
I feel like being 0-3 in the only 3 games out of the last 30 without your starting QB isn’t that surprising lol.
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that the NFL itself pushes a lot of this “concussions are bad” narrative because it gives them an actual attainable goal. They can hire independent neurologists, change the kickoff rules, make players go through lengthy concussion protocols, etc. and help with that regard.
What they cannot help with are the smaller hits that happen multiple times every play, and those hits are the real enemy. If people focused on those hits, which are the real driving factors behind CTE, then the NFL would be hopeless. There’s no removing those hits, and thus CTE from the game. But if we all just pretend like big concussions are the problem then the NFL can do something about that.
It’s only a matter of time until the truly dangerous part of the game comes under real fire, and I’m interested to see the NFL’s plan.
I feel like we’ve won almost exclusively one score games for the last 5 years or so. This is not new territory for us.
