More bad news from that disaster of a game.
Hopefully he can get better for the start of next season or close to it. He was having such a nice season and my pick for offensive MVP. Such a shame. _________________

As soon as the NFL feels threatened by billion dollar lawsuits from retired football players with ACL injuries it will be penalized. Until then, they're gonna focus on the current threat to their wallet. _________________

Exactly, until then:
NHL concussion -> out for a few months
NFL concussion -> out for a week or 2 Makes you think doesn't it?
Heath got rolled up on, looked a bit suspect though. I got the play mixed up with another one . Get OL that can run block and let Heath stay out in the open or on the perimeter. Don't take your BEST WR and have him anywhere near inside the tackles runblocking or pass blocking. That was a bad play design with Heath being exposed to that , especially when Wallace can't catch and we need WR that will catch as well as tackle intercepting defenders (unlike wallace)
Heath could get my vote for team MVP, I can't think of anyone close other than sushi, but Heath is MVP I say. |

I didn't realize he was a free agent until today. I hope he's re-signed but with this injury, that is definitely a question mark now.  _________________

I wonder if he'd be the first team-MVP to not be resigned. I doubt we don't resign him though! |

He'd be lucky to be back and starting next sept and he's 30... _________________
