2022 NFL/NCAA U.S. Football Season

I don't understand how they discharged him that quickly

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Why in the hell wouldn't they keep him overnight for observation as a precaution?

 

[RangerDoggo]

Tua’s going to die on the field, isn’t he

 

[NJDevs26]

Y'all think our med staff is bad, what about whatever the f*** happened to let Tua play tonight.

Jesus.

Between this, some of the messes in Washington with players openly ripping the medical team, and the Tyrod Taylor situation where the guy's STILL gainfully employed with the Chargers, NFL teams seem to be next-level bad in this area.

 

[devilsblood]

They just said he will be discharged tonight and is expected to travel back with the team. Wow.

Wasn’t that game in Cincy last night?

I remember a bunch of years ago the Mets caught a bunch of flak for flying a guy who had a concussion. Apparently thats a no-no.

Yep...it was Ryan Church

Church calls comments by Manuel a 'low blow'

Ryan Church made it clear: He didn't appreciate those recent comments by Mets manager Jerry Manuel.

The Mets have been criticized for rushing Church back. He was used as a pinch hitter two days later and didn't go on the disabled list until June 10. In the meantime, he endured a miserable flight with the team to Colorado and its thin air, exacerbating his post-concussion symptoms.

We’ll hire the dolphins medical staff after they’re laid off

Want them so bad we’ll get the first cross-league tampering penalty.

This is extremely suspicious and my paranoid ass thinks the NFL itself had something to do with that.

I'm not the type to get outraged at what happens in sports. Hell, I can't manage to get outraged about much of anything these days. But this whole incident makes me feel disgusted towards the league and the sport as a whole, to the point where I'm hesitant to even pay attention to the scores this Sunday.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Brutal stuff last night. You hate to see that happen to anyone, but especially with Tua. He was shutting up the critics with his play and seems like a genuinely good guy.

 

[HBK27]

Not watching but googled it given your post.

Some guy Chris Nowinski was ripping the league pregame for letting Tua play. And then that happens.

Yeah, I had never heard about the guy prior to last night but he's got quite the interesting bio as an "American neuroscientist and author. Co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and co-founder of the Boston University CTE Center, he is also a former professional wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)."

Here's what he tweeted prior to the game and after the play:

 

[Saugus]

The league needs to stop playing Thursday night games. Keep the Thanksgiving games but make sure the teams that play are coming off a bye week.

I get where you're coming from, the short rest weeks must be brutal. But 3 extra days in between wouldn't have made this better.

It seems pretty clear that Tua had a concussion in last week's game, and if he didn't then, he certainly does now. And yet I'd put it at even odds that they play him again next week. The NFL is run by sociopaths.

No chance Tua plays next week.

Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him again this season.

I hope not. Let him recover

hes going to play again this year. I would say he misses 2-3 games.

I say 6 games at least. With 2 bad looking concussions under his belt, and a ton of media scrutiny, they will be extra cautious.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Miami has built a little buffer but if they want to stay afloat Slylar Thompson should be the QB. He opens up the playbook with his arm strength.

I will gladly take the under.

by the way I am not saying I disagree with what you're saying, either.

meh I love Skyler but I think people are too quick with this. He looked great in the pre season but that was against backups and vanilla coverages.

I don't like Teddy B, but he is probably a top 5 backup QB going right now. If he can go .500 in his games I think we will be okay. Dolphins schedule is pretty soft coming up.

Teddy is a competent if unspectacular QB with a decent track record. He can win regular season games. He makes a lot of sense as thr guy to play for now.

That sounds like a load of crap. At the end of the process the team still decides what happens? Why even have an independent doctor? Frankly the NFLPA should all be fired for agreeing to this process. Are there any adults in charge who aren’t bought and paid for?

Better Call Saul @My3Sons

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the protocols should definitely have been stricter to begin with.

I think if a player shows those signs and then are confirmed to have a concussion, they should obviously be out of that game AND the next game, no questions asked. Re-evaluate after that.

NFL says they care about safety but they don't. We all know all they care about is $$$, or else things like Thursday Night football wouldn't exist.

 

[njdevils1982]

happy sunday all... let's go bears!

can i get a witness?!

 

[My3Sons]

This London game is a painful watch. The Saints have a solid defense and the Vikings have a solid offense but neither of these teams are actually good.
