If you go back an watch the play, Ryan Clark dropped his head and speared the hell out of Watson which made his head bounce off of the turf.

It should have been a penalty, and to keep with consistency Clark should have been fined.

Even with the Browns allowing McCoy to go back in the game, you still take a shot at the Steelers for concussion like symptoms?

Look, to me, a concussion like symptom is laying on the ground after getting hit in the head, with your arms raised up in the air, like McCoy was. Maybe the bright lights hurting his head is a concussion like symptom?

At least the Steelers hold players out if there is a chance they have a concussion. The Browns just let their QB go back out there and blow the game for them.

I guess that’s OK though?

The other thing lost in the ‘deserved hype and hoopla’ is the fact that McCoy took and PASSED the SCAT2 concussion test after the game. If he passed it after the game (although soon after developed concussion symptoms) a reasonable person would assume that he would have passed it during the game and would have been reinserted into the game anyway.

You’re okay with the Browns saying “head injury?” But not the Steelers saying “concussion-like?” A head injury could mean anything, such as a cut on the forehead. Seems their word usage is more evasive than the Steelers, but since you seem to be okay with it, maybe you have a head injury.
