Most ******ed Thing I Heard About.......

Excellent thread. Would read again.

 

It is kinda thills fault.... he threw it good enough for sims to make an effort and bad enough that he caused sims to have to dive for it. Did we know sims would get concussed? nope, was it intended? nope, just un lucky. I'm glad it was "just" a concussion, it could have been worse, usually when ppl fall how he did it's a broken collarbone.

 

It was a factor, not the 'cause'. But yeah, placing the ball perfectly would avoid an athlete needing to expose themselves to injury by laying out.

For example, if guys are diving for the deep ball all year, expect some brusied ribs eventually. Maybe not even enough to make a guy miss time, but just enough to wear him down a little. Make it harder to go up for balls etc.

Little things do matter.

But no, it's not mainly Tanny's fault that Sims is concussed. That'd be exagerrating it.

 

Also, Sims should have tried harder to catch that.

 

Meds?

 

All I have to say is THANK GOD Tanny didn't lay him it in front of a defender.

The pass was still embarrassing.

 

There's no doubt that a bad pass like the one T-Hill threw increased the probability of a injury. There's also no doubt in my mind that it only increased the probability by a really small amount: most throws like that (and attempts to catch them) don't result in injury. So yes, Tannehill is partially at fault for the injury, but really not by much IMO.

 

lol

 

Whether it was Tannehill's fault or not, Tannehill walked over to the corner of the endzone twice where Sims was hurt to check on him. Not sure if you could see that on TV, but it was nice to see him worried about his WR.

 

I'd freaking hope he was concerned after making him work so hard just to catch a pass where he was wide open. I mean dude laid there lifeless for a few minutes.

 

Seriously though, I was really really worried for Sims. The way his was twitching scared the **** outta me.

 

Agreed. The effort on that play left a lot to be desired.

 

everyone that says it was an easy throw...check again...

 

I make it routinely.

In Madden.

With the sliders set to making passing and catching easier.

In practice mode with no defender.

At least 8/10 times, man.

 

going to the left, throwing across his body, when the primary receiver was not sims who adjusted his route and went into the endzone and tannehill saw that when he was already in throwing motion

 

Lets break that **** down, SON!!!!

going to the left - ****ing EASY! His legs move him in EVERY direction. He succeeded at moving left. CHECKMARK!


throwing across his body - Whatchu talkin' bout Alex?? He DEFINITELY threw across his body! SUCCESS! He completed your criterion. CHECKMARK!

primary receiver was not sims who adjusted his route and went into the endzone - ****ing freelancing Sims! Doesn't he know that's the sort of **** that gets people hurt! Stick to the play that isn't working!!!!! NO CHECK FOR SIMS!

tannehill saw that - OBJECTION! You can't prove eye contact, your honor!


when he was already in throwing motion - YES he WAS!!! CHECK!!!

That's THREE check marks, proving he DID do what you listed! Therefore Tannehill succeeded.

Q.E.D.

ahh..shut up..lol

 

Stopped reading at "SIMMS" It's SIMS mother****er! S-I-M-S.

Get your game right and tight.

No wonder we lost.

 

Bpk on fire!!!

 

i know you are probably drunk or stoned right now, but you got that right...learn to spell the names of our players !!!

 

Edit

 

damn, decisions, decisions.....tough call,hmmm

 

amazing how stupid people can be even after a victory

 

Im pretty sure ryan will feel bad about the throw, so theres only one way to get rid of that guilt...more focus in practice..more angry come game day.

 

It was at fault though. 100 times I speed, an accident doesn't happen. #101 maybe I cause an accident. Still my fault and the reason was, I was speeding.

If Tannehill throws it in his breadbasket, he doesn't get a concussion right? Was it intentional? Absolutely not. Do all of Tannehills bad throws lead to concussions? Absolutely not, look at the Stills throw later. If Sims falls a different way, maybe he's unharmed.

But that throw, caused that concussion. No way around that.

 

Leave Tanny alone!

 

The most ridiculous thing I've heard was that the throw didn't cause the concussion. Yeah, if Tanny threw it in Sims breadbasket, he'd catch it, celebrate the TD by banging his head into the wall like Gus Frerotte, causing a concussion.

See? Tanny's throw didn't cause the concussion! It's like Final Destination and it would have happened anyway.

 

Part of "selling out and sacrificing your body" is foregoing a graceful fall. And it being a sideline throw, naturally you're going to contort your body and lose balance.

You're right -- it was completely avoidable. Lazor could have called for his QB to roll to his right instead of his left (as he did a few minutes later). Tannehill could have made an NFL-caliber throw. And Sims could have chosen to not go after the ball and catch Mike Wallace criticism for it.

It's football. I'd rather not blame anybody. But if I had to choose, Sims would be the last in line. So often the quality of the throw determines a receiver's the level of danger.

 

Only rolling him out to his strong side doesn't sound like the best idea. Don't you think defenses have that scouted and are prepared for it?

Tanny's problem is he didn't stop and set his feet. He had time. There was nothing wrong with how the play was drawn up.

 

Is someone channeling his inner Charlie Daniels ? " I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon " ....

 

I vote ICP...I mean Harley Dude 666 starts our next game thread.....

 

That was a freak injury. But Tannehill is definitely responsible for Keller's career being over.

 

I just did. It was an easy throw. No defender even closing in on him.

Dude, seriously. You freaking rule!
