I concede people questioned it at the time...just like they questioned going on 4th and 5 at the time. My take on it is they shoudl have run but it is getting way more play and over reaction than it deserves. You don't want a coach who always does the conventional safe thing.

THis is definitely a smart move.

I believe the way it works is if he gets treatment, it has to be disclosed. If he has bumps and bruises that dont require treatment they dont have to disclose that.

The world is running out of silver, it is needed for industry, none left for your linings

They basically just kneeled it and took the loss of down.....which btw is what everyone wanted to see on the last possession.

I dont think that is true, the independent neurologist was in place for Tua's concussions. But they did tweek the protocol to inlcude ataxia as a no-go.... https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-agree-to-modify-concussion-protocols-following-completion-of-tua-tagov Funny, this whole board was positive Tua had a concussion from their couches and that was accepted.

I think there are both...the independent neurologist can pull him but even if he does not the team can make that decision if they wanted.

It is measure -counter measure. They need to adjust to what has happened the last two weeks and they can and will.

Hollins is a cool guy but limited at WR. He needs to get replaced.

It was not three bombs. I agree with what McDermott said after the game. They should have run it on first and went from there. My point is the result could very possibly have been the same. You can second guess anything and everything when it does not go the way you want. People are upset because of the result. If they got a first and got to ot it would not be something discussed much. Similar to theb4th andn5 td to Coleman. If he drops that ball and Houston scores then McDermott would be flamed for that.

The thread title is exactly where my head has been at since the start of last season. They can do anything during the regular season…..struggle or win all their games but if you get bounced in round two it’s all the same. It’s a long season with ups and downs. Perspective is key.

That is not true. One he could have hit it from where they got the punt and two the running plays with timeouts would have added a few seconds to the clock. They needed a first down.

Op is a dolphins fan….

The problem is it is a very imperfect system. Alll he can do is ask questions. Observe the patient and compare to his baseline which you can pass even with a concussion.

They know concussion means they are done so yes they do this. They did? Edit yes they did just saw it. lol this will become a thing this week.

Let’s play the season out….

I thought everyone knew that

Case closed!

I agree it’s Joe Marinos fault. It’s.clear as day nice job articulating the facts. It’s just like birds not being real. Everyone thinks they are but then there is the guy or small group who cracked it. They are made by the CIA and charge on the power lines.

It does not get discussed much but his left hand affects his decisions and it affects the overall offense. The fact they blew the first two teams out after the injury was fortunate. The jags in particular played like morons.

That was a back injury. Josh did what most players instinctively know to do….stay down until you are more stable. It happens all the time if you are looking in nfl games. My beef is with the internet concussion experts who think they know what is good for everyone not on the bills but they don’t say jack when it is Josh Allen.

You mean after he came to?

They should have run it on first down like McDermott said but the criticism is harsher than it deserves. Like you said they had their timeouts. You could have taken all three at the expense of shorter plays and no chance to convert. When they coach aggressive and it works people don’t say crap when it does not work out the coach is dumb cass in point. If they had not gotten theb4rg and five then Houston scores that is what we would be dicussiong. Since it worked out, not a peep.

Yeah I remember all the criticism of the dolphins for putting him back out there and the bills “would never do something like that”. yea the concussion system is a joke, it is easily gamed by the players.

Anyone question the sequence of events after Josh appreared to be out cold like they do the dolphins?
