WobbleGator;n165920 said:But they can examine a player on the sideline to see if he needs to be taken to the locker room. How do you know that he wasn't examined on the sideline?
Dunder;n165964 said:I believe the doctors who tweeted, messaged boarded, and who I've heard on the radio & on TV who say he showed very clear signs of a concussion. But mostly, I believe what I saw with my own two eyes. If he had been checked, he wasn't going back on the field.
Also, nobody from the media tweeted that they saw him getting checked on the sidelines. That's unheard of in 2015.
This is where we're at as a society... if someone didn't "tweet" it, it never happenedDunder;n165964 said:Also, nobody from the media tweeted that they saw him getting checked
WobbleGator;n165969 said:All it takes is one trainer to walk over to him and take a quick look. He doesn't have to be pulled off to the benches or taken to the locker room. Stop trying to make excuses for why the team you wanted to win didn't.

Edelman, who caught the winning 3-yard touchdown pass, was checked on the New England sideline by medical staff and an independent neurologist.
Dunder;n165990 said:If the ball was handed to Marshawn Lynch & he scored & the Seahawks won, I still would have started this thread. The discrepancy between Avril & Edelman exists regardless of who won the game & I was fired up about it before the Patriots even took the lead.

Dude, you misplayed this. The next argument is the the "independent" neurologist was actually being paid under the table by the evil Robert Kraft.
That's better!Dunder;n166037 said:I would like to know why he looked drunk & was clearly stumbling after the hit & on subsequent plays. They had time to compare his cognitive abilities to his previously recorded baselines right there on the sideline? This reeks of CYA to me
