So many games in prime time seem to have moments like these -- a player appears to sustain a possible life altering injury. I forgot the Steelers player who appeared to get partially paralyzed as a result of a football play. I think that game was in prime time too.

Ryan Shazier, great young career cut short due to that injury. Thankfully, he's doing well, got married and has a son born after the recovery. 

 

Latest on him from Wiki

In January 2023, Shazier partnered with the cannabis company Organic Remedies to launch a line of cannabis products named Steel City Greats.[40][41] Shazier says that while recovering from his spinal injury, he was seeking a "safe, natural alternative to opioid pain medications" and that cannabis provided him with a "restorative healing that allowed [him] to manage the pain through a difficult time in [his] life".[42]

Yeah, no attacking of different levels of the field with TEs either. Steichen is definitely a very good play caller.

Pickett used to target TE Friermuth a lot, but he's in IR. I wonder if rookie TE Darnell Washington that many scouts praised hasn't been ready to run routes instead?!

 

Steelers offense isn't good anyway, that's true but Pickett needs to do better, with more experience now 

 

Another thing, usually RBs look great with Steelers before going away fading in their career. If Najee Harris looks bad with Steelers, I wonder how the rest of his career is gonna pan out, especially in this current RB market

Yes, Ryan Shazier. I was watching that game. I think it too was in prime time.

Fantastic. I'm glad to hear that. Is he walking? I hate hearing stories of paralysis.

 

I wonder if the grandson of that the player who was paralyze by a hit from Jack Tatum is still playing. Stingley is his name. The grandfather was given a job by the Patriots after he was paralyzed. There is a former Lions player who was paralyzed. For a while he was the face of those who were severely injured in football. I forgot his name. I think he is still alive. In NY, the Jets had a player who sustained an injury that paralyzed him but he was able to walk again with some difficulty. I forgot his name too -- he played defense. His name is at the top of my tongue. Lol. I will remember. He passed away a few years back.

Lol. He was drafted last year -- 3rd overall. I wonder how he is playing. I don't follow the Texans.

There is a game this morning. Chiefs and Dolphins. Should be a fun game. Both teams are 6-2. Tyreek Hill is playing his old team.

 

The game is showing on NFL Network. For some reason or other, it is not showing on my cable carrier. Hopefully they fix the problem before the game starts in anout 20 min.

 

 

Who wins?

I do have NFL Network but my cable carrier is saying they have a problem. It says, "NFL Network is unavailable." My brother lives in another state but has the same cable carrier. The game is on for him. I never have a problem with the cable; so this is new. I can call the cable company but I won't. 

 

I will watch it on NFL+.

Chiefs made that look easy! 7-0 already. Mahomes never loses 2 in a row.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Chiefs still up 7-0, 2 minutes to go in the 1st Qtr.

[2006Coltsbestever]

14-0 Chiefs 

[2006Coltsbestever]

21-0 Chiefs at Half, this game is over already.

[RollerColt]

I thought Miami would put up a fight. Is there anyone that can challenge KC and stop them from another championship?

I still can't get the game on my TV. I'm on hold with the cable company to see what is going on.

 

Miami is not doing much?

[ColtsGermany]

They haven’t done too much. As history shows, the highest scoring offense eventually gets toppled by a better defense. 

[NFLfan]

@2006Coltsbesteverdid you hear Rich Eisen? He said the refs made a call for the Dolphins that they did not make for the Chiefs.

[RollerColt]

Well I say that and now it’s 21-14. 
 

Woohoo for me though, Mostert scored and is finally getting some points in fantasy.

[NFLfan]

  Commanders -- Pats and Seahawks--Ravens will be showing where I am? 

[NFLfan]

Wow. Almost caught for a TD

21-14 now, thinks to Jones dumb penalty on a 3rd and 20 that Miami had no chance of getting.

They are doing what they are told 

[Solid84]

Good play by the Chiefs defense.

[Solid84]

The Chiefs really need a WR threat. Their offense is all Mahomes and Kelce right now.

[NFLfan]

@RollerColt Mostert doing pretty well.

Mostert has always been a good, underrated RB. He was good in SF.

My brother said they would miss Hill. Did Mecole Hardman play today?

Yeah, 3 receptions for 10 yards...

They won the SB without Hill last season. Hill just made them nearly unbeatable.

Overtime?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here is the ball game, let them play REFS.

[NFLfan]

Game over???

[2006Coltsbestever]

There is a flag down!

[Solid84]

Just now, NFLfan said:

Yeah, Chiefs defense ended it.

That wasn’t so much their defense as it was Tua making bad throws and whatever that fumble on the snap was. What a way to lose. 

[NFLfan]

The last time that the Vikes played in Atlanta, I took a trip to Georgia to visit may sister and her husband went with me to the game.  The two teams play again today. I wish I could be there. My sister is with her husband at Hilton Head this weekend. I would have had to go alone. Oh well. Hope we win.

 

Skol!

He definitely wasn't perfect, but the 1st down was a bad throw because he had pressure in his face. 2nd down Waddle fell. 3rd down was miscommunication between Tua and Hill I think. 4th down was a Tua bungle.

Why isn't Dobbs starting? Hilton head is nice. I have been there once; it was a long time ago.
