I'm reading both were yanked for multiple special teams penalties.

That's what I saw - accountability. It makes sense.

Washington bus crash was worse than what’s being said

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... eing-said/
And while the various reports suggest that the players are all fine, that may not be the case, completely.

Per one source who has spoken with folks on the bus, several players may have suffered whiplash when the bus slammed into a bus that stopped after the police escort missed an exit. Running back Silas Redd, for example, may have injured his neck. He’s inactive today; he had been active for all eight prior games this season.

And even though there were no serious injuries, the source said that some regarded the situation as a harrowing experience that caused multiple people to fear serious injury or worse.

It doesn't matter. We have a game thread and thank you for both for getting the ball rolling today...
No offense Jim. I didn't see a thread this morning, so I decided to get the ball rolling hahaha. I didn't mean to steal anyone's thunder!

Anyway, I am looking forward to this game. At least we have somewhat better announcers. Ronde and Myers aren't great, but man, the last few weeks have been awful.

Teddy needs to improve his deep ball.

Gotta make that throw! Greg had a step on him. Nice to see them take a shot to start the game.

It was my bad. Woke up late and rushed to make one from my phone with one eye open.

SKOL!

Phil's hurt. Ted needs to settle down. Protection was good on that series.

He's missed several of those now. Also, he fires those short passes to fast sometimes.
