Who gives a shit

blame Mara. can’t even blame Woody for this one…

it’s so bad I’m hoping the Eagles have the 1 seed locked up and don’t need to risk injury to a starter (not that I want a backup to get hurt) on that dumpster fire of a field. The NFL can harp about player safety all they want, but I don’t buy it as long as that field is around.

Nothing will change unless the players take a stand and refuse to play on turf. They’ll just complain every time someone tears an ACL or pops an Achilles and then move on to the next news topic in a few days.

I am not discounting the issue with the turf, but it is rich that the Dolphins would complain about a stadium and its turf when they built a stadium that purposefully hurts the opposing team.

You would never see turf in professionnal soccer leagues. Everyone has grass.

Holland is unaware that the turf is different than the turf that was there. They replaced the turf prior to the season with field turf core

The same turf is used in Atlanta and New England as well as Notre Dame and Texas.

I’m not saying the turf is fine but it’s incredibly irresponsible of the media to not mention these facts as if it’s left over turf from the Vet in Philly or something.

Still remember when that field effectively ended our 2020 season in Week 2, Mostert was one of the many many injuries that game

Fuuuuuuck Metlife

Meanwhile Kenyans can run barefoot all through Africa at great distances and speeds

See what the Kelce brothers have to say about artificial turf.

If teams started resting starters there, the league would respond.

People are jumping on the narrative, but Metlife literally changed their turf in the offseason. It’s the same one used in Detroit and Atlanta. Nobody complains about those.

The issue is that athletes go so hard nowadays and their bodies can’t handle it. If you watched the broadcast, they literally mentioned that Phillips had actually retired due to injuries in college before deciding to come back. But people want to blame the turf? Metlife has not had nearly the amount of non-contact injuries it had in the past. It’s just easy to blame the turf because people don’t want to think about whether athletes are going too hard these days.

Players come together and refuse to play is the only way I see the nfl taking this seriously. That’s going to be incredibly hard tho since players indeed want their game checks lol

Times like this it’s nice to have an owner who’s paid for a new grass field multiple times in the last year

Amazingly, this is brand new turf this year to replace the ligament graveyard we’ve had for years…
