"Donovan would have continued to play until he passed out," coach Andy Reid said. "But I wasn't going to go there."



If the coach says "sit down" then you sit down.

Yeah.

Were the ribs broken or bruised?

He should have punched out Ried and gone back in---the wimp!

"If the coach says "sit down" then you sit down.

In this high-stake game, the coach will not tell him to sit unless the player (a) gives an indication to the coach that he can't go on and/or (b) the coach feels that the backup can do a better job than the "injured" player. I'd say that "a" happened, since a McNabb at 30% would be better than a 100% Detmer.
