Game #13 NE Patriots vs Arizona Cardinals Monday, December 12, 2022 8:15 PM ESPN

I have to admit I was wrong about Agholor.

When NE signed him, I said he'd make some great plays leaving us cheering for him but would also have a bunch of drops. Well I was half right.

Nah, you were right.
He has made a few good plays that make you wonder why, oh fucking why, does he drop the easy stuff.

And taking a knee to make sure Parker was looked at was fantastic.

All this is true. Most of my criticism is for entertainment purposes.

I saw that punter was pure garbage. What did he average like 35 yards a punt?

Which WR? I heard Stevenson got hurt but didn't know how bad

Bailey is eligible to return from IR this week.
Stevenson's injury is not serious.

I guess I completely missed this last night.

Patriots Wideout Clearly Unhappy With DeVante Parker Injury Handling

The handling of DeVante Parker's head injury prompted a strong response from one of his fellow New England Patriots wide receivers.

nesn.com

Hats off to Agholor. He's a better person than a WR.

Parkers concussion symptoms not the onlt incident missed by NFL.....

Parker took to his Instagram story Tuesday with a simple response to the situation.

“Get on y’all’s (expletive) job NFL,” Parker wrote. “Thankful my brother was aware of the situation, Nelson Agholor.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association are reviewing the situation and how it was handled. Agholor, understandably, was upset about how things played out.

“I’m not going to comment on that, because that’s something (for) the NFL and everything like that,” Agholor told Zack Cox of NESN.com after the game Monday. “Ask our coaches. I care about my guys, and we know that that?s a serious thing. That’s all I can say.”

The NFL employs independent in-stadium concussion spotters whose jobs are to notify the referee when a player is showing signs of a head injury and then remove that player from the field for testing. Patriots safety Devin McCourty was pulled from Monday’s game after head coach Bill Belichick notified a spotter he exhibited concussion symptoms.

I agree but I wonder what BB thinks about that. Him doing that gave AZ time to review and challenge that play and BB has been known to not be incredibly sympathetic to injuries.

BB was and is old school but he is also aware. I am pretty sure he was OKAY with it

How so? Belichick was the one that alerted officials that McCourty had concussion symptoms!
Does Belichick really smash baby chickens with a sledgehammer?

Thank god on both fronts!

Thank god on both fronts!

Read today that our kicker has only 1 touchback out of 28 kickoffs while Bailey gone.
I hope bailey comes back strong.....

It's an old story but Ted Johnson said that BB would force him into the game when he was hurt and in one instance we referring to a concussion. In fact, didn't he sue the Pats for that? I could be wrong but I thought I heard/read that somewhere.

Wow.

Very first thing that ran through my mind.
Except Bill knows If a starter is injured he's not contributing. And if they are a starter it's because he feels they have the greatest ability to contribute.

And also, Bill notified the NFL on McCourty too.

Does he even kick at all? Jesus what a terrible signing

No, that's what linemen are for...

You probably did read it. Johnson has dissed BB since he left football.....

Based on what Ted said about #75's wife I wouldn't be surprised at all if that moron had CTE.

And..........why does Ted hate BB so much?

Aren't you asking a question you already answered?

I hope Bailey's back injury has fully healed? He's better than the current knuckle head but his numbers were down. Hoping it was due to that injury and now he's 100% or close to it.

Johnson is now an NESN/NBCSports guy. Nothing positive to say about much of anything. Very Anti-BB.

As far as being sent back into a game 'injured'. All anyone has to say is, "I can't. There's something seriously wrong with my........".

If the player is outstanding, coach ain't going to cut him. Coach isn't going to try to screw him him or he'll walk when his contract is up nd he'll tell anybody who will listen about his asshole coach.

Now, all of a sudden, 15-20 years after he retires, He's telling horror stories. Looking for a Sunday afternoon gig??

Johnson has being telling that story since the early '00s. It doesn't paint BB as horribly as it seems since injury rules and awareness, especially related to head injuries, is far greater today than then. It paints BB as an insensitive prick. Is that a big surprise? Is that different than how he's portrayed by many others?

The Ted Johnson story, no matter how often it's repeated, is old news.
