Adams was stood up. NO excuse to hit him when he was defenseless.
And the refs SHOOD have whistled it dead sooner. It was obvious Adams wasn't getting any further.

How often do we see a player stopped and stood up, only to end up falling forward for an extra couple yards. Or even having the Oline show up and push them for an extra 5 or 10 yards. they blow the play dead and offenses would lose all that extra free yardage.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Why blow the whistle if the player isn't down? You keep fighting and fighting for more yards. If they can't bring you down, that's not your fault. You keep fighting.

It's not player safety either. It's over governance of the game. Let the players play the damn game. When the ball carrier is on the ground, that and only that time is when you blow the whistle.

The game isn't this hard people. It really isn't.

I think once more than a couple players from each team end up in the pile, it should be blown dead.

When you get hurt is when you are the ball carrier and think my forward progress has stopped so I let up BROKEN LEG. Stop the non sense. Let the players play.

Edit, forgive the asshole tone there, not intentional but reading it now, wow. My bad.

If forward progress is stopped, they are supposed to blow the whistle.
That happens every game.

It does happen every game, exactly proving my point. It's wrong. The whistle blows and who ever backs down first? It's terrible, awful rule.

I don't like all the rules in the NFL and this one has always boggling my mind how little attention people give it's absurd (my opinion anyhow) existence.

My problem with the play was that the only contact option left was to Adam's head but that was not the only option Trevethon had. He could have gone into the pile already there to assist in stopping progress. You see it all the time. With a player in a defenseless position I'm sorry but the option to go to the head should be off the table.
By the grace of God Adams came thru this somehow, however, I wonder what the discussion would be if he were laying in a hospital bed not moving. I know I never want to see a hit like that again and I doubt any one else does either. Heaven forbid this might allow the ball to advance another yard in these rugby scrum-like plays but in the big picture IMO it's the right thing to do.
These guys have 50-60 plays to get a lick in on a player. This type of circumstances just shouldn't be one of them.

wpr (12h) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
