    Not surprising after that dirty shot. Hopefully he makes it through protocol this week, prayers his way.

    Please god I hope so, but the way he went down like a rag doll? That was such a vicious hit. I can admit that Shazier and his forced fumble were just about ok but that burfict hit? That was meant to do exactly what it did.

    At lease he got what he deserved from it but between that and Ben, next week could be very rough. Worth those salty salty bengals tears though.

    I hope he comes through okay , but there is a real chance that he might not get his head right in a week after that hit .. Ben might not be able to go either ...Might have won the battle and lost the War .....We can't run on Denver and Landry is not a good QB ...


    I hope both are okay first and foremost , but we have no chance without Ben...

    Does playing at that altitude in Denver affect concussions at all?

    Saw on Twitter AB was joking around and facetiming Snoop Dogg. Teammates say he's OK. I hope so. I also hope Gio Bernard is OK too.

    Agree on both. Hate seeing anyone get injured, especially head & neck injuries.

    for those of you around then, didn't that remind you of Lynn Swann and George Atkinson?

    Was relieved to see him walking off and making comments to players that passed by... but what's really scary is if you watch the frame-by-frame of the play, he appears to lose consciousness right after the hit - eyes rolled back in his head. Thought he was going to be hauled off on a stretcher for sure. That's one tough dude...

    It did remind me some Of Goerge and Swaany. I grew up watching football in this era
    and blows to the head were common occurances. Glen Edwards was one who liked going for the head
    also. The Emperor came out later and said That the Raiders were a criminal element.
    I think Burfect is this person

    No, Tomlin didn't confirm that AB had a concussion. He said AB might have a concussion. FYI according to Dulac AB is fine and expected to play on Sunday

    that was a pretty hard hit to the head. hope he can go Sunday. im just afraid if Ben isnt healthy enough to play too it will be hard to win with Jones under center.

    Well, I was just wondering how rough a shape we are gonna be next week. AB concussion, Ben's shoulder injury..... Means they likely won't practice much.
