ruhroh hang in there Duck lovers.....
 
The Duck put his flippers in the water & now they are drying him out....

He won the game but didn't seize the moment....No Duck Dynasty here
 
This is Rudy’s team this year and without a doubt he’s the starter.
Duck didn’t do anything to jeopardize or put the game at risk. Hell, from tiny Samford to going undrafted, practice squad, backup to starter in what, four months. I’d say he did one hell of a job Sunday night and notched an NFL win on the road. Not bad young man! And his folks got to enjoy it from the stands in Carson City.

I was on board the duck express but my ticket was only punched until Mason returned. Duck's got a lifetime story and his grandkids will love listening to it over and over but also realize, Duck's story isn't over yet.

Here's to you Duck, may you be prepared and if need, step right in where you've left off.




Salute the nation

Mason took one shot. Day was knocked down twice, then knocked out with his head hitting the mat in the 10th round. He got beat on way more than Mason. Apples to oranges

Depends

Mechanism of injury always first consideration in a high speed collision....a fist vs a hardshell helmet hit to the jaw with the force from a 250lb player running full speed at time of impact...do the math
 
And don't even get me started on the wreckless handling of his traumatic brain injury, from dragging him off the field like a side of beef to having him fly cross country, twice, so soon after. Who knows the further damage that occured due to lower oxygen levels at altitude.

Wreckless, I say, why hasn't anyone been fired over this medical fiasco yet?

No way, after Duck played, Rudolph is the better choice. I was, however, intrigued by how Duck played in relief of Rudolph, but we didn't see a hint of that player once he started a full game.


Rudolph has a full bye week to rest, and the Miami Dolphins, the NFL'ss worst team up next at home. If the Steelers somehow blow this game, you'll hear some Duck calls.

Thomas isn't close to 250lbs, and while he might have hit Mason with his helmet, he hit him in Mason's helmet as well. These are still two VERY different circumstances. Mason regained consciousness not long after hitting the ground. Day never did. He got pummeled for 10 rounds of boxing, taking multiple hits to the head and jaw. You can do all the math you want, it's never going to add up the same way. There's a reason boxers don't fight once a week and football is played once a week...

Also there is a question of making weight. If Day (the boxer) was cutting weight, usually the drop body fluid as in NOT drinking anything. They become dehydrated and that layer of fluid between the brain and scull becomes affected. This makes for brain trauma from each blow. I'm not saying that was the case in DAY's tragedy but it could have contributed to it.

Thomas illegally hit MASON whom I'm pretty sure wasn't dehydrated from making weight, two totally different injuries and circumstances.


Spike, it's never to late to ...............rats, forgot what I was sayiN

Aw come on. Don't compare the two. The NFL has not had an on the field death...since ( looking it up ) [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Charles Frederick "Chuck" Hughes (March 2, 1943 – October 24, 1971) and I'm glad I didn't see it.[/FONT] It was a heart attack, not damage from being hit.

Boxing has a tragedy every year, as they hit each other in the head over and over and battle hurt. Sort of makes you question why you watch it.

Two different sports.

Yeah he shouldn't compare two different sports anymore than you should compare two different positions.

Sort of makes me question if you watch it.

But thats because football as a whole has pretty much banned all sorts of deadly hits due to players deaths in the early stages of the game... for instance... before the forward pass was a thing, teams began signing smaller players, sewing suitcase handles to their uniforms, handing them the ball then heave hoing them over the line of scrimmage ....

Or brutal blocking techniques... or the head bash...

Basically head injuries are pretty deadly at times... the nfl just got lucky during the peak headhunting days....
