Luck out 2-6 weeks with lacerated kidney and abdominal tear

[GNG]

Jeez. Are any franchise QB's safe this year??

Not as long as the officials keep allowing late hits on them.

How would you define a late hit? it seems they are being a bit more lenient and permitting more, which is good for the game. You can't baby QBs, because getting hit is part of waiting until the right moment to pass. So long as the hit is clean (between shoulder pad and above knee area) and upon release of the pass, I'm all for QBs getting the crap knocked out of them. It's part of the game.

No you can't baby the QB but they are sitting ducks and many of these hits are well after the ball is thrown. The Colts chances of earning a playoff berth has now declined considerably.

After the ball is thrown no, but many hits are players already in motion toward the target, it's a matter of less than a second. So long as it is aimed in the right direction, I'm ok with these hits that appear to be late.

You wouldn't say this if Brady suffered a season ending injury.

Not all are sitting ducks, some have uncanny ability to stay in and even create the pocket.

Those type of QB's are few and far between.

Yes I would if the play was clean as described. He gets the snot knocked out of him many times a game and gets up. He is releasing much sooner now, so that is good.

Brady has the luxury of an exceptional OL allowing him time to release his passes and avoid late hits.

hahaha, that is funny G&G. You do know the Pats have been playing with a patchwork O-line most of the season. The secret is that Brady releases on average in under 2.5 seconds, that is very fast.

Maybe it's also because his receivers get quick separation thanks to the numerous pick plays they run.

Yes that is a big part of the game planning. I can assure you the O-line is very mediocre this year, they have changed strategy to adapt for that. It also plays into the strength of Brady's game. Smart team.

I will admit they get away with those illegal picks.

 

[LambeauLegs]

whats "classless?"

theyre both 6-11, fact.

both teams started this deflategate crap. another fact.

both teams are cosmically paying for it.

unless you think i said something else, like "im so happy lucks hurt".

wait, i didnt...right?

You should be happy the Colts started deflategate. Without it Brady would just be having a regular season and not giving it his full effort.

But now as we have heard from most everyone Brady is hell bent on revenge and is all out trying to kick everyones ass. It took deflategate to get his full effort so you should be happy with the Colts

Whatever rocks your boat. Picks are legal BTW.

Only if it occurs within one yard of the line of scrimmage.

 

[NEhomer]

Sorry Luck is hurt.

Fuck the Colts.

 

[Dude]

Has it happened otherwise? I imagine you must have taped all the games and watched them in slow motion to detect such details of why the picks the Pats do are illegal.

Your team has a history of doing illegal things. Enough said.

Ok, no prob.
