The Red King

Beautiful run there!

That one might keep our starters in the game longer. >.<

Not complaining, but a FG here?

It's almost like our starting o-line, receiving corp and secondary have been outright decimated to the point where a third or half our starters aren't playing. I know, our backups should be playing as good as our starters.

The Buffalo D? Once or twice?

Getting sick of hearing about Pickett every play, even that incompletion.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it looked like the guy on the right edge jumped early. Anyone else see it?

Edge jumped early!

It's almost like he shouldn't have been rushed back out on the field after being concussed.

Not disputing that. Just saying he wants the added attention. Not saying it's smart of him to do so. That's why he pulled the stunt in the first place, in his own words.

He doesn't care about the lawsuit. He knows it'll be thrown out. He's trying to use the publicity to draw attention to his cause, that's all.

Just looks like sour grapes after a loss. "But...but see how close we were?!?". No. You blew it. Man up.

For those mentioning the Jags game last year, it happens. It hurts, but it is proof any team can win any given Sunday. For example, I remember a year when the Patriots were crushed by a lowly Bills team on opening day. Despite later going 14-2 and winning the Super Bowl, that embarrassing loss so badly vexed Brady that he took a shot at hotels in Buffalo the week before that Super Bowl. It happens. Get over it.

People are drifting from the OP. Miami leaving would have made more sense then Indy. It shouldn't have even been a choice.

Anyone else think they were hoping to get past Cincy with Tua, then rest him against the Jets, because...Jets?

Thanks, all. Knock on wood, it seems like I could have been much worse off. That aside, given all the recaps here it is terrifyingly negligent for the 'phins to put Tua out there Sunday for the second half, or yesterday at all.

The coach looked like a deer in headlights spewing out lines that nobody, even he, believes. I like how he mentioned the personal foul, like that should have changed anything. They, be it the NFL, the organization, or both, gambled with Tua's health. They got away with it the Buffalo game. They then pushed their luck yesterday and paid the price. Or rather Tua paid the price.

I don't think so. I think it would have happened, but not now simply because of the attention it's gotten.

Is this something you're still struggling with?

From the OP... Not asking the forum to diagnose and treat me in any way. Already being treated professionally, by the ER initially and my doctor on follow-up. To be clear, I am not getting medical advise for my concussion from this thread. And this is why I posted this, to bring awareness. Not just to the seriousness, but in how symptoms can vary wildly and bring awareness. It's one thing to say a player or really anyone can have a concussion. It's another to lay out what that means. On that note, thank you everyone for the replies thus far. It's honestly eye-opening just to see the vastly different range of symptoms and experiences.

The Dolphins mortgaged Tua's health to get that "W" against us. They pressed their luck trying to get the same against the Bengals figuring they had they the long rest before the next game for him to recover, but paid the price this time. Problem is, they were potentially wagering Tua's long-term health. No game is worth that.

So I fell on Tuesday and cracked my head on the corner of the wall. This post applies to more then just Tua's concussion, it applies to Trent Edwards and everyone else players or otherwise. That's why I made a separate post. Anyone else out there that got a concussion can add their experiences as well. Let me tell you where I'm at. Tuesday was bad. I ended up in the ER. I was dizzy, with double vision. When I got home, I was stuck in bed. Now Wednesday I felt a lot better. My head was mostly better. I was fine in bed or in my chair and just a little fuzzy when I got up and moving. I could move around with pretty much no difficulty. I figured things were recovering quickly. On Thursday I felt much the same, no better, no worse. Then I woke up today. My head is swimming. Things are not as bad as Tuesday but they are worse then the last two days. I need to be careful when I get up and move around. That's when I discovered I'm not alright and it's going to be some time before I am. I can't imagine what this is like for football players who are rushed back into playing. Tua is, of course, the worst example but this applies to anyone who is concussed. So, what is the point of this post and why is it separate? I want to get other members' experiences. How their concussions affected them and how much time it took for them to recover. I also want this to be a precautionary tale to anyone who gets concussed in the future, to look at these posts and not rush themselves back so that they don't risk additional injury. Finally, I want this post and additional replies to put NFL concussions in perspective. Sometimes it's hard to see how concussions can truly impact players, not just short-term, but long term as well. So TBD members who have suffered concussions, I want to hear your stories as well...

A lot of people are fine, or close to fine, after the concussion. It sometimes takes a short bit after before the symptoms get bad.

For you youngin's out there, in *my* day... shakes stick Kidding aside, there used to be just West, Central and East. When they went to four divisions they kept the existing divisions but yanked one team out of each and adding an expansion team to make the new division. Now, they wanted to keep as many rivalries as possible, so regardless of geography they just yanked the team that would cause the least fuss. In the AFC East that happened to be the Indy Colts, and that's why the 'Phins are still in the East, not the South.

Problem is o-line. Defenders are in our backfield on runs up the middle. I don't care who you have at running back, it's not gonna work.
