Ryan Shazier expects to play Sunday vs. the Patriots

What are you both, stupid? If you don't play hurt in the NFL, then you'll never play. Mike Mitchell had a knee injury last week on a hit in the endzone... it would have been easily reasonable for him to sit out the rest of that game. What did he do? Strap it up and play.

And Timmons kept playing even when he was vomiting out his lower intestines....

Pretty sure Shazier got dinged up again..Latest report said he'd be out until his late twenties....
Coates can join the paper tigers Shazier,Wheaton and Eli Rogers on the sideline.
Ben told reporters if it was a playoff game he'd be out there.

Shazier hit the wrong gap a few times and once it allowed Blount to gain about 30....His brain must be injured as well

You do realize that there are different degrees of injuries, right? Everything from a minor bruise to a complete tear of ligaments requiring season ending surgery and everything in between. I have no idea where Mike Mitchell's knee injury lands on that continuum as compared to Ryan Shazier's knee injury and neither do you.

Suggesting that because one guy is able to "strap it up and play" with his knee injury somehow means that another guy with a completely different knee injury should just rub some dirt on it and get back out there is what is stupid here.

The actual doctors who treat these guys for these injuries and help make the best educated decision about when to try to go back out there know way the hell more than you or me.

Are those the same doctors who report the injuries on everyone else on the team?
Because for the record, you don't see me questioning Ben or Bell or anyone else that gets hurt a lot. You know why I don't question it? Because those guys come back when they're projected to. So do about 90% of NFL players. That is the nature of sports medicine and sports reporting these days. It's gotten so good, and doctors have seen enough of them, they can accurately measure how long a recovery should take. Injury reports aren't some mystical shot-in-the-dark that you and the other guy seem to think it is.

whats up doc?

Bell had season ending injuries 2 years in a row PLUS two suspensions for weed. LMAO

If Shazier had a season ending injury you guys would want him taken behind the stadium and put down.

The other day, we were talking about epic movie quotes, and my 12 year old daughter came out of left field with, "I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$...and I'm all out of bubble gum."
