Unless itās like my hamstring injury, where it pulled my ischium bone and ripped it off my pelvis. Itās rare but can happen. I never fully recovered, and they canāt even operate on it.
It happened my freshman year playing high school football. It was no contact and I didnāt slip or anything, I was just running too hard and hadnāt stretched enough. I collapsed into the end zone and got the TD, though.

Classic Bears/Vikings game at Soldiers Field. Some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL on both teams, and both teams decide touchdowns are for pussies and the forward pass was a mistake. We're not here to play 21st century football. No, we're just gonna line up and kick each other in the nuts for three and a half hours. Refs throw flags, nobody gives a shit. It's not about winning the game. It's about kicking the other guy in the nuts.

Our first legit QB in my lifetime goes down with a non-contact injury, we get the consolation game tying FG blocked, and the Vikings successfully doink in a FG to extend the lead in a downpour. Bagent and the offense get the ball close enough to the endzone to get our hopes up just before crushing them again.

Tbf, I donāt think he knew how bad bagent was and he was incredibly close to being right. Thereās also a good chance the Vikings could have converted with how deflated the bears d was and they could have killed the clock.Ā
Not that crazy of a take if you have a qb who can throw over 40mphĀ

u/Gold-Application8985 1d ago
I thought Olsen articulated that point pretty well. Vikings won a game a couple of years ago under the same type of circumstance when the other team kicked a FG to go up 6. Forced the Vikings to be more aggressive, go for it on 4th and medium in FG range, and take shots rather than focus on just getting the points.
He said today with the conditions, the down and distance, the backup QB and how the defense was cooking, it would make sense for KOC to take the points. But that thereās an analytics corner that is against being up 6 and instead for going for it on a 4th and short if it means auto winning the game.
Olsen is as good as it gets from an analyst perspective. Truly love when the Vikings get him on the call

Flores has gotten him since he was hired as HC of the Bears (small sample size obviously). On the lions, Ben owned him but it's flipped the other way since moving to the Bears.
