Rams Under Investigation For Concussion Protocol

A pillar of the Competition Committee and true hero to average coaches everywhere.

when Jeff Fisher and Gregg Williams can't find work.

...mystery solved. Dock him a draft pick. $$$ isn't a deterrent

2 plays after he came back in, instead of dropping to the ground, dumping off or throwing the ball outofbounds, he held the ball on a good pass rush, and fumbled.

I laughed at the way the game unfolded because well, fuck Fisher, but I was pretty disappointed Keenum stayed in the game.

Reminded me of Brian Westbrook and the eagles.

but a better question is why the officials and league reps/spotters who are both paid to look at a situation like this with an unbiased eye both failed this qb. I blame those two far more than Fisher

remove a player if he looks "woozy"? Didn't that happen with DRC earlier this year?

If so, they royally effed up too (shocker!)

-Jeff Fishers teams notorious for nonsense

They should consider canning him. Good chance they split the remaining 6 and finish 7-9 with losses to the Bears, Ravens and Redskins. That's not even one 8-8 season in four years.

NFL announcers and analysts treat Fisher with kid gloves?

The fact he affected decisions on rules and competition is a head-scratcher. He's been a disciple of dirty play from Day 1.

NFL people never turn on each other unless there's a colossal reason to. The same reason the owners don't oust known scumbags like Danny Snyder. Jeff Fisher will keep getting work because he's well entrenched in the good old boy's network despite 6 winning seasons in 21 years.

the guy's head slams against the carpet, he immediately holds his helmet with both hands, struggles to get up and wobbles around for a few seconds, nearly falling back over...and stays in the game, doesn't miss a play

will there be repercussions for Fisher?

This guy has had a run of mediocrity that is unparalleled among NFL head coaches.

I guess making one Super Bowl, and winning a handful of playoff berths can carry a guy for a long time in the league.
....and if I hear one more time how respected he is by other coaches, I may vomit.

This really looks bad....

This. The NFL needs to also look into it's own spotters who are supposed to radio down to the officials if they suspect a player has a concussion.

In this case it was pretty obvious that it was a concussion- and it isn't like it was a hit away from the ball..he was sacked. Were the spotters upstairs taking a nap?

game live I dont think its as bad as some of the guys here are making it out to be. It was clear he took a hard hit so the team got Foles up and throwing but he seemed to quickly recover and talk to the Refs and his teammates I guess convincing them that he was good to go when in reality he was not.

by the refs, and they should have instructed the team to go through the concussion protocols...if he passed, then let him back in....

And I was very surprised that Foles didn't come in for a snap or two. He should have.

but I'll say this - at that point in the game, there was a lot of stuff going on that could have caused the refs not to see it. When I saw it live, I couldn't tell if it was his head injured or he was staying down because of something else and unless a spotter was looking right there, they might not have caught it.

There was a play earlier this year in a Giants game where it looked like Beckham started to head towards the wrong sideline after a play where he was hit hard. And he stayed in too. What cameras see and what people on the field see can be tough, especially when you have 22 players out there.

with league spotters involved, some team officials feel absolved of responsibility to monitor this as closely as they should.

and do only that - watch out for potential head injuries.

Where the hell was that guy on that play?

I saw Keenum take that hit, and immediately felt sorry for him. The other thing that crossed my mind was what a complete scumbag Fisher is. OK, I'm not advocating ever putting in a concussed player, but Keenum isn't much better than the next guy on the list. It's not like you're sending a dinged up Peyton Manning out to play. Just goes to show what little regard Fisher has for player safety.

Good point. This seems fitting

Everyone saw his head hit the turf and how uncoordinated he was. No reason to force the continuation of the game when a QB is being scooped up off the ground by a lineman.

The refs can't even determine what a catch is. How are they going to make medical evaluations?

Have to go.
