Dolphins management should be f***ing incinerated.

Tua is never going to be the same after that and he shouldn't have been in to begin with.

T F is there a protocol for?!?!?!?!? One of the worst things I've seen on a football field. Specially since he was already concussed ...

We all know, this is money's fault. I just hope he's gonna be ok ... holy f***

Have to think last week's hit led to this result right? That hit last night is one that every player should be able to take without getting put on a stretcher.

I know there's protocols and all that hoopla, but who knows what the "independent neurologist" actually did. They called it a back injury. I wrenched my back on Sunday morning, I wasn't stumbling all over the house lol.

Once you saw his hands lock up you knew it was bad, but if he cleared protocol last week and the league was good with the investigation, not much you can do if he wanted to play.

Getting cleared to play is like... the absolute ground level of recovery when it comes to head injuries. I am really, really skeptical on who or how he was cleared to begin with, but even if he was cleared, there is no reason for him to be out there again 4 days after what happened.

McDaniel is a gutless, unethical ball bag.

Jets fans might complain about Wilson being held out as long as he did, but they did right by him to make sure he was not going to re-injure the knee. He might get hurt, but it won't be because his knee is still not sound.

The Dolphins send Tua out there 4 days after being concussed. It's malpractice to do that. We're talking about a major brain injury in the most physical of sports. It's amazing that he wasn't worse off. On top of that, they let him get on a plane after that? Even if a doctor says he can, what harm is there leaving him with the medical staff for this morning to see how he felt?

They've literally set back the clock 30 years with these antics. This is exactly how you don't handle a concussion, nonetheless a 2nd one in 5 days. I'd fire my entire medical team as soon as I could for "clearing" him to play. He may not have been dealing with concussion symptoms, but you best believe it takes more than 96 hours before your brain has healed from being rattled around like that.

It’s all good, they were watching MacGruber on the plane, and he was laughing. :rolleyes:

Dolphins were 3-0 going into last night’s game, beat some tough teams, schedule was getting lighter, no reason to put him in last night. Especially after only 4 days.

This season has gone from fun to sickening. I definitely deluded myself that he was going to be ok after last week and wanted him to play. When the game started I just wanted the win. Now the outcome seems irrelevant. I am scared for him.

Yeah I really thought this would be the year they would make some noise and get into the playoffs. Two past consecutive seasons above .500, I felt they were going in the right direction. I guess I was too optimistic.

Lawsuits, docked draft picks, bullying scandals… this team punishes its fans. Yet we can’t quit them.

Tua should be done for the season.
Matter of fact he should be doing nothing for several months.

Actually, he should play once he clears all tests and is ready to play. Whether that's next week, next month, or next year. Sitting him out when he's not hurt doesn't accomplish anything other than placating the media and online doctors.

Putting him back on a field any time soon would be a bad idea.

Pretty apparent in both cases they shouldn't have been cleared to play.

That's not apparent in the least. There are pretty of injuries that look terrible when they happen and turn out to be nothing. Likewise, there are plenty of injuries that look like almost nothing and then are severe and long term. This includes head injuries in addition to other ones.

You can make that claim...MAYBE...with regards to Tua...maybe because things still have not come to light, but RGIII?!

The knee brace, that D-line getting to him and burying him, that leg contorting in ways it shouldn't have. Even from the way he was walking, it was evident that man was playing banged up, and sure enough, that game ruined him.

Add in reports of Snyder meddling which only exacerbates things for the medical team.

True, but the system failed here. He was just cleared to play, when in retrospect, he clearly shouldn’t have been. Who in their right mind would trust any protocol, clearing procedure, test or even doctor now? If Tua was my son, I know I wouldn’t. Shut him down.

Note, I’m not smart enough to know how to fix the system. Maybe it can’t ever truly be fixed. TBH - if that is the case, a lot more questions and discussions need to be had here.
 
Giants game should be very interesting today. Two dysfunctional teams. Fields has been an utter disaster as a QB so far - curious if the Bears can scheme him into success with the Giants lacking Williams again.

The wet weather and wind and general awful weather today will not make it any easier on anyone.
