Let me put it a different way, and instead of giving you stats or hearsay, I'll paint a picture of what could have led to the O-line sending Carr a message.
I don't want to make this thread political because I don't want this thread moved. Reason is, there are interesting people to talk to that do not reside in Hell's septic tank that is OTD. Those guys there are cool too, it's just that many choose not to even bother going there. Unfortunately I have touch on the subject slightly in order to make my point.
This whole kneeling thing has taken on a life of its own. As far as players go, they all seemed to respect eachother's choice. That was until our President made his comment. That changed the game. In case you haven't noticed (sarcasm), he can be a polarizing figure. It's almost as if kneeling now was a protest against Trump instead of what it was originally intended for. Politics can make people do, say, and act very ugly.

I have not said that you said or believed anything.
I merely pointed out its more likely they were distracted than that they actually threw the game.
It doesn't matter if they told the coach or not. Do you think the coaches would not have heard something on the sidelines? Do you think the rest of the team was ok with risking their qb getting injured?
You said you were going to paint a picture but then you just went off on some political rant talking about Trump and that you didn't want it to become political.
I was never talking at all about why the players were sitting. My whole focus has been on whether the offensive line quit on Carr and whether it would have even made sense for them to do so.
