Pathetic. They, just like soccer, need to institute a rule where a player who gets "injured" has to sit out of the game for a certain amount of time and it should be a significant amount.


Make it the rest of the drive. It should all but eliminate this type of stuff, and if a player actually is injured to the point where he needs medical attention on the field and the game to stop, he should probably be out for at least the series anyway to be checked on, and then he can go back in on the next one.

This. Maybe let them back in before the drive ends if a timeout is called.

How many plays did the Vandy receiver miss after puking his guts out on the field? I don't think it was more than two, and I think he caught a TD on that drive.

If you make a defensive player sit out a set amount of time after an injury stoppage, you have to do the same for offensive players.

Three pages and no one thought that the defense would put in a backup to take the fall, thereby his failure to return to the game wouldn't matter for the defense.

C'mon guys, y'all are slipping.

ETA: There is always eventually enough time for one guy to run out there and get "hurt."
