Injuries

[YardRat]

Just a bad day and really bad luck, or a result of not playing at peak because of any unusual factors tied to the trip to London?

Why the hell does the NFL put turf down over a grass field??!

They are stupid comes to mind immediately.

Milano could have easily avoided his injury. He jumped in a pile where the ball carrier was already stopped. I don’t understand why he did it, maybe for a tackle stat? It was more than easily avoidable and was totally unnecessary. Huge bummer.

I saw the same and thought so as well .... just not thinking.

Because Tottenham won't allow them to play on the grass field per the agreement they have. Soccer isn't going to let football ruin their field.

It's the same reason why a bunch of turf fields in the US are putting down grass for the world cup. The bigger sport always wins.

Pretty sure it’s not an invitation. Maybe if the flew a few days earlier the players wouldn’t have been so sluggish and unprepared.

I get the reason behind wanting everything to remain relatively normal for a prep week despite it being an international game, but the time difference is legit and 36 hours is nowhere near enough time to adapt imo.

Have there been any details regarding Rousseau's foot injury?

The next time they force a Europe game on us, we need to go on a k day, especially if it’s Jax and they already played there the week prior.

Re: Injuries

Feel like our shot ended yesterday with the injuries, it's a lot to overcome. They'll still make the playoffs but expectations have to be in check.

It's a shame, they looked good outside of the first game going into yesterday.

This is the second year in a row where the league allowed rules to screw us. We got baked by the Dolphins last year and they let Jax stay in London next year. It doesn’t really matter though. We probably aren’t beating KC or a healthy Cincy, and if by some miracle we got out of the AFC, we aren’t beating Philly or SF.
