Week 13 Other Games.


Jags are suddenly in big, big trouble. Not that Kirk's a star or anything, but Beathard needs people to throw to.

Also, the crying about the QB injuries needs to stop. They flag anything remotely resembling contact to them anymore - they don't practice in the offseason, or preseason, if they play at all. It's seriously no wonder that they're just not used to falling correctly. That takes reps, reps they're not getting anymore.

And the league's response is going to be MORE flags and MORE fines. Which is the exact opposite of what needs to happen.

Tom Brady had 3 injuries over the course of a 22 year career, the shoulder, which he got early in his career - the broken foot which we really don't know how that happened, and the knee which was the result of a cheap shot. His last major injury was 15 years from the end of his career. Why? He took plenty of hits. Peyton Manning had one injury, the neck. That's it. It put him out for over a year, but still, that was the only one. I could go on and on, but there's a direct correlation with the 2011 CBA and the rapid increase in injuries across the board, and especially at the QB position.

The NFL has no one to blame but themselves, and will do the exact wrong thing to try to correct it.
