So in 10 days when Tua gets lightly tackled again and ends up like again, we can look forward to it being explained as actually being the result of head lice.

So... 60 minutes?

What is more unbelievable is the complete shock of the media about such an injury, as if we had no prior indication that Tua might have a susceptibility to having a (more intensive) head injury so soon after his (not really a) back injury four ***** days ago. This whole Twitterverse outpouring of "OH NOEZ how unprecedented and how unexpected we are praying for U nobody could have seen this coming how sad" makes me retch. Everybody with a willingness to accept the images being shuttled through their optic nerve since Sunday saw this coming.

Every offense that asked Tua to process at the NFL level failed. He's a one-read one-derboy even this year, and that's kind of what has led him to the stretcher, just waiting for that one read to free up.

Was that Alan Parsons guy? He was remarkably erudite. In retrospect, he always was, but then he was a trash talker too so I sort of never reconciled that.

I like that guy on Amazon with the Alan Parsons Eye In The Sky necklace. "What if the thought Sunday was, this is such a big game against the Buffalo Bills, that it overshadows the protocol"

Do you have trouble in doorways?

Until you kick a couple field goals. That play sheet was originally designed to be used in the 4th quarter only, wasn't it?

Both Lindros brothers. But that was an age without concussion protocols. Tua was asking what happened on the play that he ended up on a stretcher? Oh boy.

Don't chase the points till you absolutely need to.

I mean, his fingers were palsied. There's no explaining that away like, I dunno, grabbing his head and stumbling around like closing time.

They have to investigate this in the light of day now, after a pretty regular tackle causes a stretchering. There will be no sweeping this under the rug any longer.

Ironically, Rolling heads would sustain less trauma.

Sanders Tyler Bass'd the hell out of that kick. This game is shaping up like all the karma coming home to roost.

No not you personall Next, didn't mean to imply that. The "royal you"

He'll be back for the 3rd quarter.

Hate to say I told you so, but in the Sunday GDT I told you so. Oh who am I kidding. I LOVE to say I told you so. Edit: Not saying this to Nextmanup in particular, just in general to the whole situation. Just that Next was saying it here, as I assume we both were saying in the Sunday GDT.

if he's a Christmas tree ornament, yeah. I guess the first read wasn't open for the first 5 seconds of that snap! Oh looky. The non-concussion made him more susceptible to another non-concussion.

Two whats in the offensive backfield?

Miami having trouble in the red zone is unsurprising, they count on the threat of Tyreek or Waddle taking the top off to keep open all that short wide, or medium middle stuff that Tua can actually throw. But once they get close to the goal line, the defense doesn't need to respect that and can tighten up the short zones and on that last drive you could see the struggles with more bodies in the mix. Burrow on the other hand, for the "best processor since Brady" doesn't seem to know where his blitz answers are.

This offense of Miami is so shallow. I mean, I know where Tua is going with the ball literally 0.2 seconds after the snap. He stares down his first read the whole way and either throws it in rhythm, or double-clutches and throws it there anyway.

So they pick up the flag for the Dolphins doing the same thing that the Bills did to the Dolphins and got flagged on.

That pass hung like a kite. Of course he's picked. Well that and because he stares down the receiver every play.

Which is terrific in the middle of the field, until the field compresses in the red zone. That outside speed doesn't back the safeties off there. Or until the first read is Milano...
