NFL Week 4

[staboner 4,969]

damn. you can see the other players staring at their own mortality with their QB on the ground like that. tough shit. 

[cmontexas 3,271]

Horrific

[George 492]

That’s scary as shit. Agree on we’ve seen it enough. 

[ztejas 43,445]

Don't understand why you don't go for that. 

[Nicole44 22,060]

Bridgewater not a bad backup option here. Agree with most of Twitter they should have started Teddy tonite. Kickers man…

[DougO 5,247]

In retrospect, probably shouldn't have been playing.

[Bodhi 1,124]

Rough 5 days for Tua.  First he got concussed  a back injury during the Bills game and now it looks like he got a concussion tonight.  Some people in the Dolphins organization did him wrong.

NFL FAFO?

Ballgame. 

[Blotto 23,508]

First time watchin the fins this season. Didnt realize Ruxin from The League parlayed his FF success into the Miami HC gig

Yeah, that retrospect along with Twitter is something else.

 

[Nicole44 22,060]

Wow that was fast..Burrow can really hurt you if he’s not on his back or running for his life. 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

pansy call

[HiggyBaby 2,529]

Not saying its bad but damn

You're picking a strange hill to die on here. He was questionable right up until game-time. Four days ago he suffered a "back" injury and clearly wasn't 100% when he came back into the game. Widespread speculation is that he probably suffered a concussion to some degree. Two concussions in 5 days is not good. That sack was rough but I'm not sure that a QB playing at 100% responds that way. 

[Nicole44 22,060]

Said taken to level 1 trauma center with head (which we knew) and neck injuries…shit…

[BurntOrange&White 39,932]

Head and neck injury heading to level 1 trauma center. That’s not good

No. 🥺

[Sleepygrad 1,029]

that was tough to watch, fuck...

[shadow_operative2.0 15,982]

Boom, good drive to answer. 

Great game, Sanders.

doesn't mean anything. he would automatically be going to a tertiary care center, most likely the University Hospital which is almost always a Level I trauma center. this is a matter of routine. 

[DougO 5,247]

In retrospect, should have gone for two.

 

LOL

 

[Blotto 23,508]

moving the XP back in 2015 was one of the best rule changes the NFL has implemented. I think the conversion rate used to be over 99% and now its down to like 92%. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,049]

fuck the dolphins for that bullshit.

Ok. Most senile NFL organizations that are 3-0 to start a season don't place a shit ton of significance to starting 3-1 if, that's if, it comes to jeopardizing its most valuable asset over the next 13 games. Again, emphasis on senile. I'll defer to the Dolphins on making the call. Any QB, healthy or otherwise, that took that shot tonight would have been carted out. End of story. If it can be proved that Tagovailoa was already in (serious) jeopardy before he took that snap, then the Miami organization should pay.

 

 

[Steelers Roll Left 1,172]

The Dolphins medical staff….. 

[Nicole44 22,060]

At least Tua has movement in all his extremities so that’s good…

[tokamak 6,430]

Sherman especially with some eloquent thoughts on Tua during the halftime show. Look it up on YouTube or whatever if you took a bathroom break.

Have to agree with @ztejas here. That was a hard hit to the head, but it didn't seem crazy bad ... makes me suspect his brain was still healing from last week's "back" injury.

Well this was Tua last game after what the Dolphins said was just back injury. Is it proof positive of a concussion? watch and tell me ….

 

[BrickTop 477]

The level 1 trauma center is probably precautionary for a cat scan to rule out any cervical fractures and or bleeding, but posturing after an impact like that can be one of those severe concussions that have lingering effects for a long time.

It really doesn’t matter either way, an improperly treated back injury with too quick of a return is just as inexcusable.

[BrickTop 477]

Because he’s laying flat it it’s hard to positively identify whether or not it’s decerebrate posturing (head flexed back arms pointed straight out, toes downward) which is usually a pretty ominous sign for head injuries.

I imagine the right/wrong kind of back injury could cause a player to be wobbly like that. Could be legit. But there's going to be a lot of finger pointing by fake experts all over the internet for the next several days, at least. And they could accidentally be right. 

 

If not the Dolphins medical staff, it could swing the scrutiny on the NFL's approved concussion protocol procedures, for sure.

[Stunns38 3,460]

Should have never hired him from the Sharks…and fuck Stephen Ross!

Playing on Sunday then playing again on Thursday regardless of injury is fucking stupid in a sport like football. Why can’t the NFL schedule Thursday games with teams that just had a bye week? 

[DougO 5,247]

I blame it on Amazon Prime.

And he’s right, just shaking his head after that blow trying to clear the cobwebs should of been caught, I’ve seen less caught.

apple got the toe tap on there, that should have counted as a pick.

No argument at all. If any injury doesn't have the right oversight, ingrown toenail, back injury of whatever, then there's a problem. If the Dolphins truly, with one simple game n question, chose to play Tagovailoa when it should have not, then someone has to answer. There are a lot of parties involved - NFLPA, player's agent, otherwise - that should be able to intercede. If none of them can trump the organization, one that still chooses to play someone when his health is in jeopardy, then you have a problem bigger than the game itself.

I sometimes do that after I pee. 

And just being thrown in a different direction suddenly and stopped suddenly can mess with inner ear fluids to cause dizzyness without a concussion. 

But it is certainly compelling. 

[DougO 5,247]

Or he may have seen some nice boobs in the stands.

 

[BrickTop 477]

Well on pure speculation you’re right, but combine that with the hit he took and it’s easier to come to a conclusion, repeated missed concussions are kind of a big deal, it’s one of the factors leading to CTE.

What do you do after taking a piss?

[BrickTop 477]

kinda reminded me of when a UFC fighter gets knocked the fuck out and experiences momentary posturing. Don’t really see that often In football.
