The officiating crew and the ATC as Pereira called it, should all be punished for this. The fact that Fisher and the coaching staff didn't notice is pathetic as well.

A lot of jumping to conclusions here when you don't know the facts. Keenum was being evaluated for a concussion after the game, which was why he was not available to the media. He was cleared after the game.
That's the worst miss of an obvious concussion protocol play that I can remember since they started this...Not only did he immediately grab his head, he had no idea how to get up without falling down .Not meant to be humorous, that is a big fucking mistake...The Dr. failede miserably...I wonder if he was even watching that play...I saw it, how can a neurologist not...

I missed the game because I'm in Las Vegas for my son's wedding so I'vo clue how he played but I did mention when there was talk about starting him or Mannion instead of Foles that it was a bad idea because Foles was a better option than our backups. Can I assume I was correct?

I felt bad for Case he was in an environment of failure.

Truth is the call to take him out or leave him in should come from way above the Coaching position. A Representative from the NFL should make that call.

That's not what I read, but regardless of what happened after the game, the Dr. is supposed to get him off the field right away and look him over...that obviously didn't happen
Even if he didn't see the head shot, he couldn't possibly missed how disoriented and wobbly he was...He could barely get up...
Not sure where your info came from, but this is my understanding:
Jim Thomas @jthom1
Just up from locker room. Rams QB Case Keenum was diagnosed w/ concussion and was unavailable to media
Thank you sir! The wedding and reception were great!rdlkgliders seeing what's important:

I knew the O-line was going to be a disaster for whoever started at QB. Do you think Foles would have done better?

Real hard to say Alan in my opinion Case's start is hard to compare the O line was such an issue especially when Donnal went out.
I don't want to be uncommitted So I will say that the playbook was tailored (reduced to Case and the O line issues) and Foles may have been better due to continuity and an expanded playbook. but boy were we bad.

Handling of Keenum's concussion raises questions about NFL policy

At the tail-end of the Rams' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, quarterback Case Keenum was concussed. With just over a minute remaining in a tied game, Keenum was thrown to the turf by a Ravens' defender.
In what was completely clear to anyone with a TV and a set of eyes, Keenum's head bounced violently off the turf.
Keenum's pain was also clear. He immediately grabbed his head. He squirmed on the ground. Eventually, he got up with the help of his teammates.
But the game didn't stop. While the officials sorted out a flag, Keenum spoke to a member of the Rams' staff on the field. Thirty seconds later, he was back in the huddle and dropping back to pass. Two plays after the sack, Keenum fumbled and the Ravens won the game on a last-second field goal.
After the game, reporters discovered that Keenum was diagnosed with a concussion, which raises questions: Why wasn't the game stopped? Why didn't Keenum come out of the game? Even if the Rams official spoke with Keenum and thought that he was fine, why didn't an NFL concussion spotter stop the game so Keenum could be examined off the field? Could a concussion test really be administered in 30 seconds? Did the Rams even give Keenum a concussion test?
Earlier this month, Eagles defensive back Malcolm Jenkins revealed that he played during a game with a concussion and hid it from the medical staff. Because the hit that caused Jenkins' concussion was inconspicuous, nobody knew that Jenkins was concussed. The onus was on Jenkins to tell a trainer, but he didn't. Like Keenum's concussion, it's scary to consider that Jenkins played football with a brain injury.
But in this case, Keenum's head injury wasn't hidden, it was clear as day. As Keenum withered around in pain, someone -- a Rams' trainer, an official, a concussion spotter, a teammate -- had to have spotted that something could be wrong with player who just had his helmet slammed off the turf.
Nobody stopped the game. The game continued. And just moments later, Keenum took a snap and fired an incomplete pass toward Wes Welker.
