Dolphins @ Bengals - TNF Game Thread

Miami is good.  Well coached.  Tough road, hubris is dumb

[Solomon Grundy]

Doesn't Tua have a history of concussions?

All this Tua stuff makes me want to tell the Bills: “Do not rush Dane Jackson back, please!”

They won’t. They are rightly conservative with player health

Sure but players want to play.  That is part of the reason for then “independent” evaluation who can make the correct medical call.  

I can see coaches and medical staff being influenced by a player, but their job is to protect the player, to include from themselves.

hes conscious,  but they didnt report if he was voluntarily moving his arms and legs. its extremely unfortunate, but it seems like he has paralysis.

 

the fish should have hell to pay, especially with goodell in attendance

I was trying to look for any movement. Looked like they folded his arms up for him and no thumbs up. 
 

Really scary.

We all feel bad for Tua, but wouldn’t he at least own some fraction of the blame for playing through the injury Sunday and today? That’s stubborn and stupid 

The argument would be that ALL players want to return to the game and will do/say whatever they can to get back in there.  That's how it always was in the old days.

 

That's why it's critical to have a league-created system in place to take the decision OUT of the hands of the player.

 

So in a sense, I would say "NO" you can't blame TUA...the system around him is what failed.

McDaniel is legit as an offensive guy 

That may be true, I'm still doubtful on his ability to lead a team.

1 point is useless there.

not this early in the game— not sure how the points will be scored for a full half still. I am not a fan of going for 2 until You absolutely have to

His head did not bounce like last week. 
Hope Miami gets fined for letting him play this week

How many 1st rd draft picks will the fish lose from this

I don't know how hospitals work.   Is 1 considered high or low in this case?

 

Serious question.  Like a 5 alarm fire is the worst for firefighters a level 1 could be the same in terms of head trauma. 

 

 

The highest level of trauma care. In Buffalo, it's ECMC.

Level 1 is the most serious. But they said it’s near the stadium so he might not be a level 1 trauma.

A "good" coach wouldn't have allowed him to go back in the game last week

He does now if he didn't before. 

[DCbillsfan]

I hope Tua is alright.  I made "light" of his injury based on Sundays injury where he returned right after halftime.  Frustrated by that situation.  Didn't mean to offend anyone.

[gflande1]

Love seeing Josh in a national commercial.

Every time they show McDaniel now all I can think about is how he knowingly put a player he knew was concussed out there and lied about it.  How can players respect that guy now 

But Tua would be the one answering any questions. Maybe he didn’t give a hoot and wanted to play? Ya the coach should’ve said sit down we got this. If they actually cared about his well being. 

[Shake_My_Head]

Full movement in extermities...good news.

There are closer hospitals and another hospital is the official hospital of the Bengals.
