Quite a day at the office there for Tomlin. Andy Reid wins that game. Hell, half the coaches in the league might win that game.
I'd prefer it if he were gone at the end of the night - and I'm pretty sure most Falcons fans would agree with me.
That's a bit simplistic - the Falcons were a play away from reaching the NFC Championship Game the following season - but they've certainly gone steadily downhill. And yes, we still suffer navel-gazing articles like this:
My problem with it is that the Steelers training staff didn't take him off on a cart.
Oddly, until they showed Rudolph down, it didn't look that bad. ET got him at a weird angle below his chin as Balt teammate hit him from behind. Seemed just like a really shitty position and head snap vs an actual malicious hit.
Doc Bradley is legit and as good as they come. The cart literally died on the field and had to be pushed off.
Yeah, Thomas launches himself helmet first and catches Rudolph right on the chin.
Ya good point. Unload the backboard and use the strapping gents that walked him off to carry the backboard instead. They went so far as to unscrew his faceguard while he was out (airway access) so go all in taking care of the kid
Yeah. I saw him walking without the mask and thought WTF? I guess the cart was broken. I thought should have been collared and boarded after a hit like that.
They still rolled the cart off the field. Couldn't they have put Rudolph on the cart before they rolled it off?
But when the zombie cart reanimates and suddenly develops a thirst for brains, nobody's coming out of that situation looking good. Better to play it safe.
