Wild Card Weekend game thread

This Gage injury doesn't look awesome.

Looked like he may have taken a knee to the back of the head/neck or something. Tries to get up, but his legs wouldn't move...Scary shit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fuck. Just what nobody wanted.

Ball was clearly not caught, no reason to crush his neck from behind.

 

[cornwalls@6]

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Dude.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady looks shaken.

Christ.

 

[Ale Xander]

What happened? I turned it off after 3rd down

 

[JOBU]

Not what the nfl needs right now

Incomplete pass, Gage went down trying to make the catch, or slipped, and then see my post above.

 

[Pitt the Elder]

It looked like Gage took a rough shot to the back of his neck and went down. It didn't look good.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Dude.

Yes I deleted. Apologies. Was said before severity was noticed. I feel awful.

 

[Marciano490]

Not what the nfl needs right now

Or Russell Gage…

 

[JOBU]

Looks like there was movement in his legs so that’s good at least

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What happened? I turned it off after 3rd down

Looked like non contact leg injury, then hit to the neck. He couldn’t get up.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

They should pack it in and go home. No need to finish this one.

Cancel the game - neutral field next week.

 

[AB in DC]

Give Brady a gift TD to end his career, then kneel it out.

 

[dhellers]

Perhaps a cautionary lesson for TB about what can happen.

 

[Obscure Name]

I feel sick. Watching him try to get up. Just awful.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Give Brady a gift TD to end his career, then kneel it out.

Has to be coming back for another year. His body hasn’t failed him like Peyton’s.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Lol firing the cannons!

 

[cornwalls@6]

Very tough to watch. But in a weird way, encouraging that he could at least try.

 

[jose melendez]

Brady's coming back. Who are we kidding?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Even if he comes back, that could be his last playoff TD. No guarantee he gets back.

 

[8slim]

What a lousy season for Brady, in every way.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Even if he comes back, that could be his last playoff TD. No guarantee he gets back.

He will be back.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Maybe not his last one in this game.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who’s a UFA on TB?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Eh, throw in another for good measure.

 

[worm0082]

Here we go!!!!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Has to be coming back for another year. His body hasn’t failed him like Peyton’s.

Why wait until it does, though?

What’s the upside to continuing to play? I mean, I assume he just can’t give it up and he has certainly earned that right but the longer it goes on, the increasing likelihood that he sticks around too long. Hell, he may already have.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady’s got this.

 

[AB in DC]

Someone didn't get the memo.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Gio Bernard. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

He should have quit after winning his first year with TB. But clearly he has an OCD-level need to compete. At this point it’s beyond his ability to quit IMO.

 

[Marciano490]

Any word at all on Gage? I’m watching the Mannings.

 

[joe dokes]

Gio Bernard. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

My exact response.

 

[joe dokes]

He wants to get to 69 passes. It's a record. And Gronk said he'd play next year if Brady got exactly 69.

 

[cornwalls@6]

I think Brady’s decision about his future will have a lot more moving parts than “he’s not going out like this”.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

agree.

 

[JOBU]

Gotta pull that in

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That sums up the Brady to Evans connection this year.

 

[DanoooME]

Who’s a UFA on TB?

27 of 53 guys are free agents after the game ends.

 

[jose melendez]

The fact that he can still make a throw like that is why he doesn't retire.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Oh my god. That would have been absolute insanity.

 

[Marciano490]

The weird subtext of the Gronk usaa commercials is Gronk despite so badly wanting usaa insurance never even considers actually serving his country, despite his physical gifts.

Also, I did finally decide to sign up for usaa.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Quick strike was there, holy crap.

 

[Section15Box113]

He had him.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Dallas/SF
Philly/NYG
Buffalo/Cincy
KC/Jags

Should be a pretty awesome weekend of football.

 

[OCST]

WTF is the point of throwing it away on a two point conversion attempt?

The team defending the conversion can score two points, if it takes away the ball and scores it into the attacking team's end zone, 98 yards away.

 

[luckiestman]

Catch the fucking ball, Mike

 

[brandonchristensen]

Get out of bounds ya hoser!!
