I have no idea how this Bengals team beat KC

Strong pass rush against an inferior Oline.

are the Dolphins just lucky?

 

A couple years ago they had a good record because of a series of turnover and special teams luck. That was the year we blew them out with our backups in the final game. I see a lot of similarities between that team and this one. Eventually the numbers catch up to you and you're revealed for the pretender you are.

Just logging on to say Joe Burrow is Kirk Cousins with a cigar. Goodnight!

Amazon streaming isn't great.  I have excellent wifi and never have issues streaming except these NFL games.  Goes in and out of fuzziness.

   Haven’t read the replies after this but was thinking the same thing. I’m not wishing Ill on Tua but agree that he is NOT an unsuspecting victim here.

   There is zero chance he didn’t know his own condition. 
    Not down with all the pearl clutching either. It is a ridiculously dangerous and violent game. That is part of its allure.  
    The Dolphins medical staff is a f…ing joke, as is the. NFLs patronizing “Player safety” protocols 

 

Last line nailed it. Many of us care about these guys as human beings too.

Dolphins offense is reminiscent of the Oakland Raiders teams of the 70s

Putting aside the fact Tua shouldn't have been playing, did they penalize the hit in any way?

 

No it wasnt really that dirty.  Pretty viscious but it wasnt anything wrong with it according to the letter of the NFL law.

when i watched football as a kid, (and i know players were not as fast and strong) tackling seemed much less violent. maybe i am misremembering

Players were pretty much as fast and strong back then (human beings haven't evolved in 20 years!) and the game was MUCH MORE VIOLENT.

 

Open field free shots on receivers, for example, are now outlawed.

 

In the older days, players made names for themselves by KILLING PEOPLE ON THE FIELD.

 

Steve Atwater!  Ronnie Lott!  Bill Romanowski!  (who injured hurting people) etc...

I don't know, of course, but I'm guessing we are not going to see TUA for a LONG time.

 

Like this season is probably over the Fish.  So yes, we want Bengals to lose, though I don't think they will be trouble for anyone this season anyway.

 

 

Teddy is looking just as good as tua has

Bridgewater is probably an upgrade from Tua.

Dolphins win tonight and they are likely to get to 6-0. Jets and Minny next.
