RandyMarsh Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 41 minutes ago, Motown Bombers said: At least two of the picks were basically punts. The 49ers have thrown three picks and the Ravens aren't dominating. Yep, 2 were "arm punts" where they just chucked them cause they had a long down and distance, it's a play where you hope your WR or refs bail you out, if they don't and it gets picked oh well you were going to punt the next play anyway. Another was on 4th down where the Lions actually got worse field position by intercepting it. Basically those 3 interceptions could have been 3 incompletions and the Lions would be no worse off, if anything they may have been better off depending on how the ensuing punt played out. Again another reason why you can't just treat all turnovers as the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) It’s nice to be a fan of a team with a Tight End that doesn’t get hurt every year on a fluke play. That’s kind of the first time I’ve been able to say that, so I’m pretty excited. I really am. It’s cool to be here.

I saw a lot of Vikings fans complaining about the hit that knocked him out. It’s a violent league and injuries happen. It looked like he braced himself and straightened the knee before contact which really probably did as much damage as the hit itself.

It’s a shame that Minnesota is replacing its turf one game too late for him. Edited December 27, 2023 by Jason_R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I don't think that was turf... I think it was a low tackle that took out his legs... nothing wrong there... But as MC alluded to above, (and it also looked like it to me) he locked his knee right before he took the hit... almost like he was bracing for the hit. I don't think that helped. Not certain how much turf played a role in all of that but... I'm thinking mostly it was a low hit and a "locked knee"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article in the Detroit News about Hockenson’s injury linked NFL rules against certain upper body hits to a rise in lower hits to a rise in lower body injuries.

They're being forced to change it during the off-season. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/after-injuries-and-complaints-vikings-set-to-install-new-turf-for-2024-season/ar-AA1lS3xo Looks like they'll have plenty of time...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
