re: I'm largely surprised at the response to this game

I understand BA doesn't have a disc or vertebrae issue, but a deep tissue one, but that's still very painful. Back pain is no joke, regardless of it's origin - mine is worse than labor pain sometimes. And when it's in full force & aggravated by movement, especially rotation or twisting, it can be excruciating & absolutely prohibits mobility, even arm movement. Since he doesn't have an injury that would cause serious repercussions if hit, my main concern was that it was greatly affecting his performance at a time when we needed someone in there who wasn't hurting every time he went back to pass. I feel bad for him bc I know how bad he was hurting, but it affected the entire team, particularly in the second half. ... And the absurd amount of pass plays called, even short ones, was unbelievable knowing that he was hurting like that. There's no excuse for not at least trying the other Allen ... Or calling more running plays for that matter.
