Steelers downward spiral is now over with a 2 game winning streak, Ravens downward spiral us just beginning. Steelers win 11/18.

Are the steelers better than those two teams? Yes, but across country trip to the west coast to play in Oakland, a short week playing on the road thursday night in Tennessee… Not to shocking they lost. It can happen, the better team can’t always win. Are the cardinals better than the patriots? No, are the Vikings better than the 49ers? No. It would be nice if some of you would use a few extra brain cells and actually have some perspective.

Bite the gambling/fantasy sports hand that feeds this league, and see how many people acknowledge your Thursday night games like KC/SD and Jags/Colts.

This is why teams like the Pats keep people guessing to the other side of it if u can’t keep people off the list put everybody on it . Doing it that way isn’t a lie by now every player has something wrong with him big or small …..

HIPAA law? lol don’t make me laugh. Everybody knows the NFL is above those HIPAA laws when it comes to football related injuries.

XXX

Legally, they are not.

I have never seen any exemptions.

Contrary to what some here believe, HIPPA covers one’s privacy of all health related information. It is not specific to a certain type of health info. Injuries do apply. It is interesting that the NFL wants to protect something of no apparent value to the game.

The only reason the ravens lost to the eagles is because the replacement refs called a phantom offensive pass interference when the defender has his back to the ball on a jacoby jones TD in the 4th quarter that would have iced the game for baltimore. I just hope the players can handle a fist fight 2 times in 3 weeks. Should be fun

If a player has bruised ribs, if the other team knows this, they will focus on hitting those ribs every chance… at some point you got to conceal the injuries so that the other team doesn’t focus on aggravating it.

… also explain the reason for the injury list. … is it intended to assist odds makers set the line. The NFL has had an unholy alliance with gambling interests since the inception of professional football.

So I guess if he had the choice of his starting quarterback or his third string running back being injured, it wouldn’t matter to him either way. Sure.

I agree with Harbaugh, but I’m pretty sure we can knock down the HIPPAAAA thing right now. As far as my understanding goes, HIPAA protects your medical records from being publicly available, and even if you make them available I think you can choose to withhold any information on drug/alcohol addiction, communicable diseases, etc.

When someone gives an insurance company or whomever authorization to release their medical records, it takes about a one page boilerplate agreement signed by the patient to make them available. So…

I don’t think it’s a HIPAA issue anyway because no one’s medical records or history of communicable disease and addiction are being released, and (2) even if it were I’m sure it’s something that is worked into NFL player’s signing their life away to the league

List every play with a bump, bruise, abrasion, as questionable. The NFL wants injury reports (even some are supposed to be optional), give them injury reports!
