  1. He'll get a 3-4 game tryout to see if he can knock off the rust and get back up to speed.
  2. The concussion protocol was changed after what happened with Tua 2 years ago. You know that, right? They added ataxia as an objective criterion. Merely hitting one's head isn't a criterion for being placed in the protocol. Neither is being diagnosed by a neuroscientist based solely on incomplete videos. Loss of consciousness is a criterion and the NFL and NFLPA said that didn't occur: (citation provided): And again, what reason would the NFLPA have to lie? Fear of a lawsuit? It's been over 2 years since Tua postured against the Bengals and there is no lawsuit forthcoming. And yeah, I'm smart enough to know that if you're using an example of a guy who got a concussion and then got another one in his next game, and then talk about a guy who you suspect got a concussion but didn't get one in his next game, I'd say it's more proof he didn't get a concussion the first time. Unless everyone who evaluated Josh just got lucky.
  3. "The NFL and NFL Players Association said in a joint statement that steps should have prevented (Tua) from reentering against the Bills." And do a search to see that they agreed that there was no loss of consciousness. Sit this one out.
  4. I looked it up and, like with Bishop, Edwards missed a lot of time in training camp, as well as in the Spring. I can see why he got beaten and why McD would rather go with Hamlin. But I hope it changes.
  5. I just said it. He wants the US out of the picture. They've been trying to sow discord in the US for decades. I've been saying this since about the time the Ukraine war entered its 4th month with no end in sight. He has no chance to invade another country, much less a NATO one.
  6. According to the depth chart, Mike Edwards is the backup to Rapp, who isn't exiting the lineup, and Bishop is the backup to Hamlin. I could have sworn that it was the reverse when I looked at it a few weeks ago. Is there any reason why Rapp and Edwards can't start together?
  7. The NFLPA, who would have no reason to lie, agreed that "steps required by the concussion protocol were followed" and "there was no loss of consciousness." So if he passed the objective portion of the exam and didn't lose consciousness, why do you still believe he was concussed? Because your degree allowed you to diagnose him from the footage from the game? LOL! Let's see your resume. In order to continue to insist that he was concussed, you must believe a) the NFLPA is lying and/or b) that Josh had subjective symptoms that he decided to hide and which could have gotten him placed in the concussion protocol. And great, one person wistfully talked about McD "probably" wanting to stop the game to protect Tua. It's an opinion (and you know...). There was no "spread." But don't you think that a "man of integrity" would have pulled Josh from the game if he truly had a concussion? Meanwhile guys like Taylor Rapp are ruled out of games? Look, the time for this discussion was when Josh was reinserted back in the Houston game. Once they trotted him out for the postgame presser, it was essentially over. When the NFL and NFLPA issued their joint statement, it was dead. And after Josh played against the Jets and beat them, it's beating a dead horse.
  8. Ataxia, lethargy, confusion, photophobia, nausea, mood change. He'd be at practice and there would be signs others could see. There's only so much he can hide. And if he hides it, again, that's on him. The same goes for Tua. If he doesn't report that he's not doing/feeling well, that's not on the team. And now that he's secured the bag and suffered another major concussion, I bet his attitude towards concussions will change, if not his style of play. Brains leaking out of his ears is an objective sign that something is wrong. That's already been covered and you should know that.
  9. I’m loudly loving this.
  10. It's obvious: like any country/ruler, he wants his to be the most prosperous/dominating country on Earth. The US has been a hindrance to that since the end of the 2nd World War.
  11. Wow, that's some major insight by Katy and Tony.
  12. Fair enough.
  13. Yahya dingdong.
  14. When did the Dems allow their party to be hijacked by groups that represent a fraction of their base? And then for the majority to say "yeah, that sounds fine." It's weird.
  15. She's the worst VP ever. She didn't suddenly become a great Presidential candidate...
  16. Not necessarily. And that's on them. If objective symptoms are absent, what are you going to do? Hold them out on a hunch? How long do you think the Bills should have kept Josh out? The remainder of that game? The Jets game?
  17. Agree on the bolded. Disagree that he'll be just a decoy.
  18. Hopefully the Bills are on the good end of blowouts and can play Bishop later in games.
  19. I said earlier (tongue in cheek) that they could afford to sit him against the Titans. But no-brainer to get him in there since they can beat the Titans at home with or without him.
  20. I know. I'm saying that if he experiences symptoms after he is checked-out by them, it's up to him to report it. If he doesn't, that's on him. But apparently he was and still is fine.
  21. Tua is a sidebar to the original topic, which was Josh. His situation is entirely different and not our problem. As for Josh, he played another game and took several hits and didn’t get concussed, much less posture. He was and still is fine. If symptoms develop, it’s up to him to let the team know and hold himself out.
  22. Trying to roll out the "cops are killing unarmed and innocent black people daily" crap from 4 years ago. #######s.
  23. Hamas needs to return the hostages and leave Gaza. Until then...
