Because we said so and we're doctors isn't going to cut it. And "because the concussed player said so" is the reason why they should be fired.

And Poyer. Both of them are crucial.

This would all make sense. If there wasn't a national broadcast caught on camera of Tua having head trauma, finger fencing followed by a collapse. There's no ***** medical examination in the world that could determine that the collapse was from his back. The doctor or doctors in question blatantly ignored head impact, the signs of fencing, clutching for his head and then gross loss of motor control. Whatever questions they asked to determine if there was a concussion are irrelevant given the signs and symptoms he demonstrated immediately following an actual ***** head impact. Why you ask? Because concussed players can pass those those tests with flying colors. The only argument they have to stand on is, but the player said it was his back! And that's exactly why they should both be fired.

I think there's a greater likelyhood of this neurologist losing his license to practice medicine than winning a wrongful termination law suit.

This thread does not need pictures.

That looks an awful lot like his finger contortion against the Bengals. It just didn't happen for as long. But the idea that the doctor cleared him when this happened to his fingers right before he collapsed is gross incompetence.

Bro, there's no world in which the ability to win or lose a Super Bowl can be predicted from a week 4 game.

Oh I'm sure you'll find reasons to worry. I'm not sure why, but expending energy on expressing worry is a fan favorite.

The game itself tells me very little about the Bills season. What is going it be telling is how healthy they can get later in the year when it matters most.

The Bills were exposed. If you can get them to the point of heat exhaustion and make them play with half of their staters out of the game you will have a good shot of beating them.

The failure was the Bills Red Zone offense. Not the inability to solve Miami's Cover 2. They dominated the Cover 2 all day. They couldn't put it into the end zone when they got to the door step. And yes, the Bills would take 5 red zone trips to 3 red zone trips any day.

He clutched for his head immediately after he smack d his head off the ground. Must be his back if he says it's his back...

With 500 yards of offense and 5 red zone trips, I'd think the Bills would take that any given Sunday. Especially when they dominated time of possession and kept the other team to 200 yards of offense.

That's a lot of faith in authority without realizing that the onset of diagnosable signs and symptoms of a concussion can be delayed for hours or days. Given that concussed players may not present immediately diagnosable symptoms on examination, I'm not suprised the Dolphins are lawyering up in light of the fact that they ignored clear physical evidence of a concussion that everyone else saw with their own two eyes.

Yes we did, all day long. We couldn't score TD's once in the red zone. Thay was the difference between a two point loss and a two score blowout.

I get where you are coming from. And in lieu of any evidence at all of a concussion, I'd agree. But concussion specialists have weighed in, and claim that was clear and obvious evidence of a concussion when Tua went down. Not only did he not reach for his back, but he shook his head, a sign of a concussed person trying to "clear the cobwebs" and then reached for his head and adjusted his helmet. At this point, we have to keep in mind that a person can have serious physical brain trauma and still be able to pass testing. Similar to a drunk person being able to pass field sobriety tests... And the neurologists don't appear to have anything akin to a breathalizer to know for sure... That's why the list of no-go symptoms were out in place, and Tua exhibited several.

He also said Tua told him the reason he collapsed was bc his "back felt like Gumby" which sounds an awful lot like something a concussed person would say.

The team doctor can go to the independent neurologist and insist that there was no loss of motor control caused by head injury, simply bc Tua said so. And unless the independent neurologist finds clear symptoms of concussion that meet the "no go" rules other than loss of motor control, he can't keep him out of the game unless he overrules the team doctor in regards to the loss of motor control. So the question is, what kind of pressure did the Dolphins team doctor apply to the independent neurologist to rule it a back injury? More to the point, how independent are they? I think the NFLPA and the general public demand to know.

And the question, as posed by Richard Sherman during the Amazon post-game, is whether Tua lied about it being his back and if the team doctor went along with the story bc of how important the game was to them. I'm no doctor, but I understand logic. A player can not pass protocol and reenter a game if he demonstrates loss of motor control following a head injury. What tests did they do to prove it was his back that caused him to fall to the ground? How did they rule out that his loss of motor control was caused by his head slamming to the ground? At this point, they don't get to appeal to their authority as medical doctors. This isn't a "bc I said so and I'm a doctor" situation. They have to answer some tough questions, and I for one have doubts by about their integrity.

He's a lying piece of *****.

There's an official NFL Concussion charity for past players: https://concussionfoundation.org/programs/team-up-speak-up/supporters/NFLPA

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Miami Dolphins for winning the 2022 Week 3 Super Bowl...

Lololol 😂😂😂
