How did Allen not dominate in college?
Saint Doug replied to C.Biscuit97's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think this has to do with his cannon arm. I didn’t watch him in college, but did during his first couple years on the Bills. I think the difference between then and now is how hard he was throwing the ball. It used to do 1000 mph, no matter where the player was on the field. I now see a QB moderating the strength of his throws when needed. -
The problem with the argument is that even players on the same team take touches away from each other. A throw to Knox is one less throw to Diggs. We tolerate this because it doesn’t really matter who is touching the ball to move chains or scoring TDs. We just care that someone does. So, if CMC comes in and produces at a high level (not necessarily saying he would), it really wouldn’t matter as long as we’re scoring and winning.

We make teams abandon the run early. -
Ravens and Lamar do not reach contract agreement
Saint Doug replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was going to say that the time has passed to sell him high. However, we’ve seen some teams do some crazy/dumb things when it comes to QBs. Some will think “it’ll be different” on their team and maybe so. My guess is he gets something along the lines the Texans got for Watson and that was a crazy haul. -
NFL week #6 - The Bills at the Chiefs - 2nd half game thread
Saint Doug replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Going to? -
Pose this question after the KC game.

You guys see that play where their QB “faked” confusion on a touchdown run? I’m not sold that was actually acting.

NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol
Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Based on the NFL’s definition of “ataxia”, which btw is correct, Tua still wouldn’t have been pulled out of the Bills game. Per NFL, ataxia has to be secondary to a neurological problem, which everyone on the Dolphins denied and said the imbalance was due to a “back problem”. One thing can definitely learn, based on the response, is that Tua did indeed had a concussion. I’m not as concerned they didn’t examine his back. That was not their job, which was to determine if he had a concussion or not. Regardless of what was going on with his back, even if there was a positive exam finding, Tua still could’ve been diagnosed with a concussion. That is, I don’t think concussion is a diagnosis of exclusion. -
NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol
Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Hyde is any indication, he didn’t like what he heard from his initial evaluation. I would imagine, he didn’t get good news. -

Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Iirc, the independent UNC does not make the decision whether a player can return to the game. That’s up to the team trainers. So, I don’t know exactly how he failed. -
I think he’s mostly a product of the system and coaching makes him looks semi-good. I think we could probably get equal play from a would-be cheaper option. Considering Hyde is going to be a big question mark going forward, I’d rather give the money to Poyer. He’s a game changer. I’ve never seen Edmunds as a game changer.

Yes, very high. The tippy top of the ankle.
-
Pulled? More like how long he lasts before leaving the game.
-
Agreed. I think is fans actually like Allen as a person as much as his performance. None of us would want to see him pulled a Tua. I don’t know how Miami fans view Tua, but it just seems like “get up, dude, and play”
-
No
-
Wow. You see the comments? Didn’t age well. At all.
-
This is true. But Tua is also an adult. It’s his responsibility to be truthful with the medical staff, assuming Miami coaching staff didn’t fully make up the “back” or “ankle” being hurt. It came from somewhere. That said, it’s up to the coaching staff to know when he’s not being fully truthful. The whole thing should be thoroughly investigated. Disgusted this all has been risked for a game.

Micah to IR (out for the year per his agent)
Saint Doug replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
With a herniated cervical disc, it looks that we may be faced with another Eichel situation. A small portion of the with self-reabsorb after a period of rest. The other cases will require definitive surgery. However, I don’t see this becoming an artificial disc vs fusion debate. Football is too violent of a sport. So, how have players done after cervical spinal fusion? This is a little dated, but a good starting point. https://www.shimspine.com/cervical-fusions-nfl/
