Nabers is still messed up from his concussion. He needs to go back to injured list.

Nabars hurt again... must be soft injury prone letting his teammates down!! I haven't really kept up with this year's crop of wide receivers but I don't hear a whole lot from neighbors or Harrison junior how are they doing? I feel like I would have heard something from them if they were gonna be up for offensive rookie of the year and it doesn't seem likely

He has a serious concussion. He shouldn't be playing.

If that were truly true then he shouldn't even be on the field according to league rules he has to be cleared the giants are not in position to win anything this year why would you force a guy on the field if he's truly hurt now if he has multiple concussion syndromes like tua and they keep coming back that's true but to say he has a concussion coming into the game like he wasn't healthy that would be some serious loss of draft picks and some serious accusations for a team to do that.... That is why there are protocols now a guy like Josh Allen somehow did get back in the game that's a little different because that was in the heat of battle and they cleared him really quick but during the week is when they truly give you protocols for concussions because they take it seriously..

I agree. They should put him on season ending IR at this point.

Yup lol, and it serves them right. I don't understand why they have a drop tackle rule if they're not going to call it.

I think you all look at that rule very differently than the league is gonna you can't call every play that looks like if you put weight on a player that is a drop hip tackle you literally still need to be allowed to tackle some tackles are just normal and you think they're drop hip and they're not there's very specific rule to it and if they see it in replays during the week the guy will get fined if not it's not all dropped if you do realize that the art of tackling is grabbing a guy and put your weight on him and bring him to the ground that's a tackle that's what a tackle is now they're trying to redefine what a tackle is leaves too much Gray area that's why fans think everyone of those type of tackles is a drop hit tackle and they are not all drop it tackles just like they're not all horse collars either and I've seen those calls and they were wrong but yeah there's a fine line between the actual rule and what is actual tackle that's legal and it's very difficult in full speed to know which one it was and that's why they need to stop it I'm in total disagreement with that drop hit rule that's a tackle you're telling him maybe he can only pick three spots on a player now they try to get him to the ground you're not allowed to hit him in the knees in the neck the head like but now you're not allowed to grab him inside either the front or the back of the jersey and now you can't put your weight on a guy to bring him down I mean that is a tackle that literally is the tackle and I'm sorry this is becoming flag football and I don't agree with that particular rule that is how you were taught as long as you're not tackling a guy around the neck or head or doing something completely illegal which don't you think it's ironic that you can grab a guy's dreadlocks and pull him to the ground isn't that a sudden stop and drag motion with your weight but they allow that 'cause they're trying to tell these players to stop having that stuff we don't need you to look good this is not about aesthetics so you're gonna get paid for it but I don't see that any different I think they need to go backwards on some of these rules..

I don't even like the role where you can't tackle a quarterback for a sack and not put your weight on them I mean now you have to try to roll off to the side I mean that's a monkey business that's nonsense this is football yes The Dirty stuff needed to be taken out of the game you know where guys running full speed and you throw your arm out into his neck we're grabbing him by his face mask or his helmet or whatever it is if it looks intentional but this targeting stuff that came from college it's nonsense and so is a lot of these other things and I don't agree with them also I'm not even gonna look at that play and tell you whether it was a drop hit or not the defender has a right to catch up with a guy and if all he can is get one hand on him and then it slips down to his hip and he gets his other hand on him and the only way to get a man down is to put your weight on him that's a tackle you're not telling us we have to let him go and score a touchdown?

I mean, I get that, but I mean, if it's as egregious as what happened to Pollard and how that tackle on Hubbard looked, I kinda think it should be called.

you know guys i'm watching 2 bad teams playing each other but they're playing hard and they absolutely do not look like they're trying to tank and lose games I mean that's the way some of our fan base things we should do it and that we're dumb for not putting the worst players on the field and do not bring back any of the hurt players and I'm saying that's not how you keep the integrity of sports sound.. You play every game to win until you're mathematically eliminated but you should be playing hard and not giving the other team an easy win that's not how sports actually work... This fan base seems to think you should tank for draft picks and I say that that's ridiculous sometimes you're organically bad like us and these two teams it is what it is but you don't go out to not play hard and not try to win./
