Exactly! Hell of a way to spend your day off.

I'm just glad it was a neccessary precaution and everyone is safe. The inconvenience is a blessing considering what could have happened.

Calvin Austin said he will fly home on his own.

They probably played scattegories and Gunnar got his ass kicked there too. :chuckle:

Tomlin obviously didn’t have the plane prepared.

Incase you guys are morbidly wondering what the NFL would do if something catastrophic happened to a team, ESPN has an article about it: https://www.espn.com/gen/s/2001/0328/1163463.html


The National Football League (NFL)'s contingency plan provides for both a "near-disaster" and a "disaster". A "near-disaster" is defined as fewer than 15 players on a team being disabled, and a "disaster" is 15 or more.

No special draft would be held for a "near-disaster"; the team would instead get preferential rights on any waivers until the end of the season.If a quarterback is among the fewer than 15 lost, the team would be able to draft up to two quarterbacks from all NFL teams with three available. Each team would be able to protect two, and the drafted quarterbacks would return to their original teams in the following season.

For a "disaster", the commissioner would determine whether to cancel the team's schedule for the season. If the team's season is canceled, the team would have the first pick in the next regular draft; a special draft would also be held in which each team would be able to protect 32 players. If not canceled, the "near-disaster" procedures would be used.

Canada probably rewrote his play book. Look out league here we come.

Canada probably rewrote his play book. Look out league here we come.

Maybe he left the three pages of his playbook on the wing and they got sucked in at take off and that's what grounded the plane? Perhaps he phones a friend for a new playbook???

I would rather not have any team ever go through this.

Did they leave matt Canada in KC?

They could have went down in history like Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper!
