Not sounding good for Reed... why not just shut him down too? I'm being totally serious by the way.

Reed being checked by multiple doctors. Still being tested. In addition to ongoing headaches, he hasn't passed tests.

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

Head trauma is nothing to mess around with. He should be shut down especially since he hasn't been cleared after multiple tests.

I fear that Reed may become our Jahvid Best - a tantalizing player who can't get on the field because of concussions.

Yeah Matty, if anyone needs to be shut down for injury reasons, it is Reed.

You don't shut down other young players because you're lying about the reason you shut down the first young player.

I saw a stat this morning that said 75% of concussions resolve within a week. So yeah this isn't good.

I thought he passed the one before the Giants game, since he was suited up to play but then got a headache. Now they he has to pass a test by an independent neurologist.

Damn me and Rave joked about this the other day but is Reed's career done or something? That sounds pretty bad

No predictable timetable for #Redskins Reed to return. Every concussion unique. His global health at this point is what concerns me most.

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

I wonder if lazy players are going to start using concussions as an excuse not to play.

Not implying Reed is doing it but.... screw it, yes I am implying it! F Him!

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

What the odds on seeing Rexy in the game this weekend? I will lose my mind.

ESPN 980 is reporting Reed is done for the year.

That's good. His long term health is far more important than playing in a couple more games this season.

Josh Leribeus will be inactive this week due to a hemorrhoidal flare-up he suffered after he won a hot wings eating contest.

Hey! Buddy it's serious ok I.mean RG3 is out too

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

Reed must have gotten rocked. I don't even recall the hit.

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

Well I will be at this game............ First one in while, I really enjoy watching them in my own home..... Well I did last year.

Still trying to debate whether or not to wear my RG3 jersey..... thought about putting tape over the name with "Benched" instead of Griffin III.

What a disappointing year, really thought the Skins had started to turn the ship around....

Where are you sitting at the game Sunday? Me and my family will be in section 103. I was gonna wear my RG3 Jersey, but I may stick to my favorite Clinton Portis arrowhead jersey..lol

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

So Shanahan puts RG3 on the inactive list despite being healthy, but won't deactivate the guy who [B]IS[/B] injured and can't pass the concussion tests. Okay then.

It depends on how many sequential series Cousins throws picks. In all seriousness who knows. I don't want to see the game thrown but at this juncture I could see Cousins struggling and Shanny refusing to take him out of the gam.e

Very good article about how Cousins is further along in his pro development than Robert is. Food for thought.

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

I am not going to predict a winner, but ATL isn't the juggernaut as in the recent past. If Kirk can stay under 2 INTS, and get into a grove and the D can play half decent, we can win this one.

I hope there are no serious injuries and that Cousins plays well.

I don't give a damn who wins.

That's all I've got left for this game.

The game isn't being televised in the Baltimore area, instead we have to deal with Phi vs Minn and probably the god damn ravens

Ravens play Monday

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

I have to say, the change to Cousins gives me an extra spark this week. Not that I think he's the future or that this season has been anything less of a shit storm, but this week, the win is a LOCK.

We will win this game, maybe even convincingly. Cousins will play great, throw for 300+, and it will unleash Morris who will pound it down their throats. Right now, I'm just interested in seeing Cousins torch the Cowboys to close out their season. If we're going to spoil anyone, let's spoil those assholes.

F***ING PAIN BABY.

Re: Skins vs. Falcons Pre-game Thread
 

I hope the Skins win, Cousins does well and Morris has a mega monster day (completely unrelated to the fact that I have in my money league - well, maybe not completely).

Then I hope MS says something that clearly violates his contract and gets his ass fired for cause.

I read somewhere that Reed had a couple of major concussions in college as well. The guy's career is going to be short if he keeps getting knocked around like that. A little worrying.

I mean it's the billion dollar question in pro football right now, how many concussions is too many?

A few concussions in a life time is almost normal IMO. I had a few growing up from horsing around and sports. Then had another one in my early 30's. And I still sparr (kickboxing) pretty regularly. I don't notice any less brain function, but there wasn't a to start with lol. My fam and friends say I'm forgetful.

But these kids are having chain concussions (week to week) and I wonder if that is what makes dangerous. Not just more overall concussions but having them one after the other, like the brain doesn't have time to heal?
