Other than the failed eagles two point conversion to win these are the only bad news of the day. Any info?

And no flag on obvious Head hunting. Maybe green was falling down, but he clearly struck his head. Now the David hit, they both went down and lowered their helmets, but I couldn't agrue if he got a flag.

I just hope green is ok given his history.

agree, flag ahould have dropped...but if they don't throw flags on AB's facemask, then why would we expect them to flag that? Along with another facemask non call.

Tuitt was on ABs live feed on Facebook. Appeared to be in good spirits. Didn't really offer an update besides that he was good.

I was thinking when it happened that if it was Mitchell with the hit you know 4 or 5 flags would have been thrown.

Exactly. It was just the ridiculous of the refs calls. The one with coats in the end one for face mask that's in front of the ref! What's a call one time isn't the next. This is what makes fans pissednoff and makes it look bias.

I'm confident Tuitt will be okay for next week's game. When he returned from the locker room, it was reported that he was working with the trainer on the sideline (working out of his 3-point stance). He sure tried getting back on the field.

Burfdifect lost feeling in his right arm. He has an upper brain stem injury. He should not have been cleared. Hopefully it costs them a draft pick!

I remember them saying some independent doctor gave him the ok to reenter the game.

He was going for decastros legs and David just went low as well. It was a great job avoiding injury by our OL.

Tuitt had a slight limp after the game but no crutches or brace. McCullers says he doesn't think the injury is to serious:

Green in concussion protocol, hopefully it's just a precaution because of his history.

with his history, they are going to be super cautious with greene.

Green reminded me of Eric Green with the catches over the middle.

He (Eric) was a trip, and a major weapon. I was majorly pissed when he left for Miami. And see where it got him: It effectively ended his career.

Green took a hit to head earlier in game and got checked out by the protocol guys, was surprised when he came back in from that...then takes another hit to the head while probably still a bit squishy up there from the first hit. He is likely to have a very short career. He may want to think about retiring after this season if this concussion is at all serious and hard not be serious when it is his 4th? I think in less than 2 years.

It doesn't appear Green uses the mouthpiece which has been shown to greatly risk the chance of concussions, several players on the Cheatriots have used them in the past (the one good thing I've ever seen that team do). Really have to wonder why our medical staff doesn't require guys like him with past history to use it, or the league could require the usage if they gave a **** about player safety...that and ban Burfict

All the head-hunting and intentional helmet-to-helmet hits are getting way out of control.

The league supposedly is trying to crack down on it. Yet the players' response is pretty much "F you. We'll hit as hard as want, where we want."

Time for some ejections. The play where Bell was stood up and the Bengal yahoo ran in - way late - and whacked him in the helmet deserved an ejection.

But the refs are challenged enough making just the basic calls. McAulay and his crew were awful today.

On That same play Kirkpatrick was pulling Coates's hair, before he grabbed his facemask. Earlier Burfict went helmet to helmet with Rogers, while his feet were still in the air, with no call. The officiating was very suspect.
