Dolphins @ Bengals - TNF Game Thread

[stevestojan]

Sherman actually saying what everyone was thinking: they let him back in last week because it was a huge game for them. 
 

The NFL might take some unprecedented action here.

I wonder if any scans he got tonight would show a recent concussion, or does it all look the same and can’t tell one from another? I’m surprised scans aren’t required after a player shows the neurological signs he displayed on Sunday.

Nah.  Throw him on a plane.

The good news is the guy with a severe head injury, will travel with the team that let him play with one, to the site of a natural disaster?

Miami point totals in 4 games:

 

Week 1:  20 (7 from the D)

Week 2:  14 (minus the 4th quarter)

Week 3:  21 (7 from the Allen fumble)

Week 4:  15

 

 

Their defense is why they're 3-1

Before Tua got hurt he was nothing special. The kid just isn't elite. His arm is weak, he's small, and his nickname should be "glass." Say what you want but Brian Flores was right.

You go Richard Sherman!

 

Was that Alan Parsons guy? He was remarkably erudite. In retrospect, he always was, but then he was a trash talker too so I sort of never reconciled that.

Always like how this guy explains injuries 

Shouldn’t have played tonight. Shouldn’t have finished game on Sunday. If he plays against the jets, the nfl needs to get its ***** together.

They should… but still, they’d have to prove that he had a true head injury (vs a back injury).  That’s why I don’t see anything happening.

I strongly strongly disagree, Miami has a QB. The hate for Tua is hilarious 

Huh. What do you see in Tua? Nothing special whatsoever.

That was Richard Sherman...and yes he said it outloud.  

He's definitely one that doesn't hold back anything!!

Shouldn't be any turbulence issues in the vicinity of Florida ...

They're going to kill him. How in the world can he be "fine" and back with the team? I thought that same thing last week, but after this hit?

 

Just because he was released doesnt mean he is fine.  He still has a brain injury they probably just didnt see any bleeds and felt it safe enough to go home.

Yes it was.  Now that he's no longer playing, the Stanford guy is coming out.

I think he's in the 14 to 18 range.  Fast processor.  Accurate.  Average arm strength and mobility.

Gonna miss the game as I will be on a beach in Riviera Maya

I bet it'll be on a TV in whatever beach bar you stumble into.

Besides him working for Amazon despite speaking out against TNF because of player safety when he was a player.

I don't know about that.    The Bengals have a better QB, better receiving corps, better RB, better pass rushers.   There was a glaring difference in the effort to the ball between the two defenses.  Dolphins did a good job on Burrow and a great job on the Bengals running game.   Bengals D effort was much less consistent.

By the end of the year the Bengals will be one of the AFC teams to beat. Burrows is elite as well as their receivers. The oline will improve.

And they felt his health was good enough to sacrifice to put back out against the Bills.
