OK what the fuck? Are people hitting our players or are our players being weirdly irresponsible?

Either way this is kinda crazy. Independent of NFL, everyone be careful out there

I can’t speak for Baltimore, but out here on the West Coast, reckless driving has gotten a lot worse over the last few years. It feels like the rules of the road don’t matter to most people anymore. Drivers are ignoring basic traffic laws, creating dangerous situations that shouldn’t happen in the first place. It’s rare to see any empathy on the road—people seem more worried about their phones and doing whatever they want, rather than making sure everyone else gets home safe. Unfortunately there's many like my wife that have to get that call that their family members that just went out to lunch won't be coming home because of others irresponsibility. People need to stay safe out there.
 
Sorry to hear that. That's really sad. I hope it's not like 90% children who can't put their phones down while driving.

I’m in California and I need to look both ways when my light turns green at an intersection. Shit’s fucking crazy these days because adults can’t be adults

It’s everybody. My mom lives in an older community and even they drive like fucking morons who think they own the road. I get fearful each time my mom gets behind the wheel honestly because of everybody else. She’s a rule follower lol

It's all good it's the past and I don't mean to be a bummer here. :lol: more of a rant that I'm sick of the lack of community and unity here. Just because you don't know the person or know their friends and family doesn't mean you shouldn't respect others and the responsibilities of driving. Age doesn't matter, I see just as many people in their 60s and 70s that can't put their phones down, people intentionally running lights and stop signs to "get ahead", individuals driving drunk and recklessly tailgating others. I'm a speeder don't get me wrong but if you're going to drive fast please give yourself space between others and be safe with it.

Happy I'm not the only one. Currently living in a suburb outside of Vegas but unfortunately the incident happened while living in Utah. It's not isolated to one place, it really does feel like dog eat dog world out here recently.

The world has a massive narcissism problem these days. Everybody thinks they’re the main character, they won’t get in accidents because they’re special, nobody else matters because they want to get somewhere 2 minutes faster, people can’t have cars in front of them because that makes them feel like they’re “losing”, just all kinds of shit. Driving is the single scariest thing I do in my life, and I’m not scared of driving at all, I’m just scared of all the others driving.

Just like fantasy fugged up football fans, video games screwed up drivers.

People have always ran lights and stop signs, etc., just a lot more now. People got more bold during the pandemic.
The scariest and stupidest are the ones passing traffic on the shoulders. I always think about someone walking there, getting plowed.
 
"It is not clear where the crash occurred. Police in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Howard County said they did not have a record of it when contacted by The Baltimore Banner. State police also said they were unaware of the incident."

Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins is ‘not going to be able to play’ after car crash

“He’s healthy, he’s fine, but he’s just not going to be able to play,” coach John Harbaugh said of Wiggins.

It will be interesting to see the game plan today. The Raiders allowed 176yrds rushing last week. I would hope that Derrick Henry would be a busy guy this week; but Lamar is probably dropping back most of the game with Henry being an extra blocker... ;)

For goodness sakes, please, give Derrick Henry the ball and let him run so our QB doesn't continue to take RB hits.
