I played football for 10 years and have never seen as many injuries in the sport as there has been the past 2 years. Granted the players are much bigger, faster, stronger, juiced, hit harder, etc etc etc but damn. We're talking major injuries. The NFL this year already has had a shit load of guys go down for the entire season. Sucks.

    It's unfortunate but injuries are a part of the game. What could be done to improve the play to cut down the injuries, the fields or uniforms what?

    it's been suggested that if you take the helmets off the players, they will tend to act less like heat seeking missles ...

    not sure if this can be proved ... but it's intersting to debate.

  • I don't know if it is random chance, cyclical, or whatever... but, it seems like too many get injured.
