BroncoBruin Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 He made the courageous effort people have dogged him for not making and it could end his career here. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Major bigtime play by Patrick there, underthrown but that's what has to be done sometimes - throw a 50-50 ball and then let the guys make a great adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Wow! Run game opens up and a QB gives one of our tall WRs a chance one-on-one…we’ve been missing that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater is such a great guy and despite his faults, has had an impressive comeback after his early major injury. Praying for the man It was the impact on the ground. That's actually where most concussions occur (the 2nd hit when the brain gets shaken from the 1st hit, and then hits the ground - called coup-contrecoup - it's the 1-2 punch that's so damaging, the brain is moving from the dive/hit and then suddenly stops. As scary as it is, it's increasingly more and more commonplace. The Parham injury I referenced on TNF was exactly that mechanism FWIW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Callahan missed the tackle on Mixon on the 1st down run, then just leaves Boyd on the PA crosser. Not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) That's the biggest difference between our teams right now - as @lomaxgrUK pointed out before the game. Great PA call with the run gashing our D in the 3Q, and great play by Boyd. Yes Boyd was wide open but Burrow hit him in stride so he could make Simmons miss. Very underrated part about chunk plays is putting the ball in spots where the player can keep adding YAC. That's a massive area where both Lock last year, and TeddyB his entire career, have had been lacking. Nice extra effort by Simmons to save the 2-pt deficit. We're back to the same situation though - our D is starting to wear out, the O needs to drive here or we're in trouble...again.

Was watching the Parham one and it freaked my out with the arm twitching. I'm glad I didn't have to see Teddy like that. Pretty gross seeing professional athletes completely powerless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coup-contrecoup describes the action of the brain inside the skull after a single rotational hit (classic cause of the glass jaw in boxing) where the impact of the head causes the skull to hit the brain (coup) then the skull stops but the brain keeps going and hits the opposite side of the skull (contrecoup) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practically, the head hitting the ground and brain hitting the opposite side is the same effect, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Even though it wasn't ruled a fumble, interestingly MG3 hasn't seen the field since. Shurmur & Fangio might have gotten spooked a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
