Football General Talk

Parsons just tore his ACL -non contact.

Mahomes possibly did too earlier today. Gonna end weird not seeing the Chiefs in the AFC championship game, let a lone not seeing them in the post season. I like the Bills and Broncos chances, hoping one of them make a deep run.

I was listening to that on the radio. The chiefs got decimated by injuries.

I think a lot of those injuries are gonna last all season. Those guys aren't coming back.

I was tending to the grill and thought I heard Romo confirm parsons ACL?

Mahomes tore his ACL. Not sure about Parsons.

 

[El Jason]

Broncos must still be a fluke…hope Parsons is okay. Hate to see anyone suffer a season ender.

 

[Hammsolo]

Wow, what a wild week? The injuries piled up. I’m glad the Seahawks pulled it out. I don’t trust Darnold. Meyers is a stud… Did I just say that about a kicker?

 

[Hammsolo]

I hate the Packers, and dislike the Chiefs. However, I respect them both. I do despise Travis Swift. Just confirmed, Parson’s tore his ACL. Watson’s injury looked bad too.

I destroyed my knee in college. It sounded like ropes snapping and felt like a giant ripped off my leg. The surgeon said, “well, that’s basically what happened.” It sucked. Prayers to all of them.

 

[Birdbander]

Detroit's postseason chances are no longer in their control so my interest in the rest of this season is peripheral at best. Until next year

 

[BrentD]

Game over.

 

[Hem]

Soooo...Dak time, or what?

 

[Hem]

Maybe next year

 

[BrentD]

Maybe next year

That's something vikings fans can identify with. Believe me.

 

[Wild Bill]

McCarthy looking better in back to back weeks is promising.

Didn't help our draft position, but letting the kid learn how to win in the NFL is more importanter.

Why are you folks still watching and worrying about the Vikings? There is WAY TOO MUCH excitement to be had across in the other city with HUGHES AND THE WILD!

17 games plus preseason is a lot of inevitable physics...

So is a ninety degree left turn for 250 pounds going full speed. I hate seeing guys get hurt like that. I always wonder how they will ever trust their knees to hold them up again. I don't trust mine.

This past weekend rattled my cage a bit over my enjoyment of pro football. The athleticism is so elite, but the price they pay to earn their money is very high.

Going back to one of my favorite players, Earl Campbell, he has endured so much pain, after his career was over. All of them, outside of maybe the punters and field goal kickers, pay some price.

Yes, they know there is a high risk. However being young and being offered crazy money to do something you love, will cloud judgement.

I did enjoy that the Viking brought another team to join them on the outside, looking in. Hopefully they can do it a couple more times. That's as close to a playoff run as the Vikings will get.
