But if the Doctor he sees is under the feeling that 6 days is too soon, they can be overly critical of symptoms and fail them simply because they aren't comfortable being the one to make the call and put themselves on the line for a quick turnaround that could potentially lead to another head injury in quick succession. Especially following what happened to Tua and the fact that Taron has a long history of head injuries. Again, I want him to play. I think he will. I'm hopeful he will. But I feel like a lot of posters are setting themselves up for disappointment by refusing to see any possibility that he isn't cleared. It's literally coming down to the wire.

Punch Posted January 21 Posted January 21 1 hour ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Yeah, it seems a lot of people are bypassing optimism for blind optimism. I really hope he plays. And considering he was on the field every day this week says to me he cleared a lot of the stages of protocol fairly early. So that's a good sign. But the fact remains that 6 days in Concussion Protocol is an incredibly small window. There are examples of people doing it in a week. But less than a week? I don't know how anyone can be so sure that's definitely going to happen. I'm extremely hopeful. But I won't be remotely surprised if the league doesn't clear him, regardless of what he's been saying. 1 hour ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I've seen that. And I've seen the quotes from him. But all it takes is one concussion specialist for the League to say "I'm sorry, but 6 days isn't enough time" and all of that doesn't matter. Again, I'm very optimistic and i'm really, REALLY hopeful he gets cleared. But it's not a sure thing until it is and there's things at play that can supercede everything we've seen and heard. 30 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Neither do I. But it would be unwise to think that it's impossible that league PR isn't also in play. Clearing a guy of a head injury in less than a week and then he takes another head injury that causes damage and they'd come under fire for clearing him so quickly. Again, I'm all for optimism and I have my fingers crossed he's cleared. But it's coming down to a decision by a doctor within hours of kickoff - regarding clearing a guy of Concussion Protocol in less than a Week. So cautious optimism is as far as I'm willing to go. 3 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Not specifically.

He’s been trolling incorrectly on the injuries the last couple days. Probably a Chiefs fan showing his lack of intelligence. Quote

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Anyone start a go fund me to grease the palms of the independent neurologist yet? Nothing speaks quite like Bills mafia donating to a cause, and what better than this? Quote

There are prescribed tests and evaluations they do. It is a fairly objective process. He can play if he passes the tests and has no observable or self-reported symptoms. 1 Quote
BRH Posted January 21 Posted January 21 8 hours ago, Buffalo ill said: In the late 90s I managed to give myself a concussion (and likely the other guy too) doing a John Lynch style helmet to helmet hit while blocking for a kickoff return. I couldn't remember my phone number when the trainer asked me. There was no treatment and I got to take the 10 hr bus ride home with the team. Yay for 90s high school football. Where did you play HS football that you were taking 10 hour bus rides for games, Montana? 2 Quote
