Not some replay of two quarters with Teddy Bridgewater Who are you even arguing against? No one believes that this will result in a do-over. Quote

But I think it does make a joke of the NFL talking about player safety. 1 Quote

We're reacting to it because we all saw it happen live, game wise don't care, but he was not well and shouldn't have been back out there. 1 Quote

Isn't the whole point that there was video evidence of impairment and thus he can't return even if cleared. Edited September 25, 2022 by Ethan in Cleveland Quote
What a Tuel Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 55 minutes ago, FormerlyPT5P said: Some of you are seriously talking about this as an excuse. The concern for the NFL is if it was safe for him to play, not if a concussed quarterback continuing to play was somehow "unfair" to the Bills. Weak. I'll agree with any prescribed punishments but the NFLPA doesn't give two ***** about his impact or the outcome of the game I literally dont see anyone arguing it was unfair to the bills in this thread... weak is that you think a discussion about concussion protocol is somehow complaining. Tua didnt do anything in the 2nd half. Wouldve made no difference him or bridgewater/ 1 Quote
Jerome007 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 I admit that with him being all woozy, I was SURE it was a concussion. But he somehow passed the test, and played and looked fine. They have to see if the tests were well done... and if the tests themselves need some fixing. But the way Tua played and behaved he indeed looked as if nothing had happened. 1 Quote

buffaloboyinATL Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Yeah, their coach was definitely overselling the back injury theme immediately after the game. Quote

I don't think the independent doctor will be doing concussion asessment for NFL games in the future 2 Quote
fergie's ire Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Do we know if he was sent to the tent to be evaluated by the Dr.? Some seem to be questioning that. And aren't there supposed to be spotters in the press box who look for this kind of thing? I remember a controversy a few years ago when the coach (don't remember who) said he didn't see his QB acting woozy. After the controversy that caused there were supposed to be spotters who would alert the sideline that the player had to be seen in the tent. Maybe someone remembers the details on this? Quote
Big Turk Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Apparently Tua claimed it was a back injury where his back got hyperextended and his legs were wobbly when he got up Quote
Motor26 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 These independent doctors are likely getting paid by the NFL to make themselves available for games. Of course they’re going to clear a player when reviewing them with a team doctor, that makes the review no longer independent. 1 Quote
Jeffbigalls Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 No the don't the independent neurologist determined he was not concussed, absolutely wouldn't clear him to come back in with a concussion, 2nd concussion syndrome is real. Do some research on jt Quote

If so, sorry. If not, do you think a ‘monster fine’ scares a billion dollar football team? Money is not the way the penalize.. Quote

That said, a fine is what will happen. They aren’t going to take away a draft pick or something like that for a violation like this. I would expect a big fine, and probably Some remedial action (new independent doctor). Quote

I hear ya, but I feel like that means jack sh!t to teams. If it were the Bills, the mafia would offer to pay it. And if they didn’t, the owner would pull that cash out of their pockets. Money is never an object of concern. Fines are BS in pro sports. Quote
KOKBILLS Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I'll admit fully it would have ben a huge break for The Bills...But in all honesty, when he was 1st stumbling I figured he was done. I really assumed there was no way the NFL was going to let him go back in that game. Just being honest, he looked real wobbly... Edited September 26, 2022 by KOKBILLS Quote

Probably more believeable Quote
