NFL GDT: Week 7: Prodigal Sons Returning

[PanthersPens62]

Different take here.........Tua already has/had a helmet that was custom made for him. It was working fine. He just made a boneheaded choice to go headfirst into Hamlin.

I'm more pissed that Tua claimed he was symptom free since the day after it happened. No way should he have been forced to sit out for 5 weeks. That was all a show to quiet all the internet doctors & everyone screaming for him to retire. Sadly he is the poster boy for concussions and will always be treated differently than everyone else who gets concussed. Tua absolutely rocked this presser.

Counterpoint; the contact he ate from Hamlin was barely anything and he was throwing gang signs after what would be have been inconsequential contact for anyone else.

It's also wasn't a show for him to miss as much time as he did. He got put on IR out of precaution and the initial timetable was very unclear. Miami likely wasn't sure if he could be back even if he was symptom free, so they threw him on IR to clear up a roster spot.

Once you land on IR, there is a minimum that you need to sit out for. Miami, gave themselves and Tua time to heal without the pressure or attention to get back sooner. Had to wait out the required time.

That may well be, but based on what HE said, it sounded as if he could have played way sooner than this. I get why the Dolphins did what they did but at the end of the day, it likely cost them 2 wins. They had 3 players who were in the protocol after Tua & all 3 missed a whopping 1 game. I wish there could have been a happy medium in Tua's case.

I understand this.......all I'm saying is if it was ANY other player besides Tua, we would not be having this discussion.

Held out, missed training camp, got paid, underperformed, got called out by media and fans for lack of effort and now he’s out for the year with a torn ACL and MCL.

Super Bowl hangover for the Niners. CMC is out, Aiyuk is out, Deebo is injured. Christ.

Imagine if Aiyuk didn’t get that contract, he would be screwed.

That’s specifically why he held out.

Deebo is actually sick.



I’ve had this happen to me in 2009, it ain’t no joke.

Smart man

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Both clubs are at 2 wins and 5 losses.

If he doesn't like it in NY, he will get cut if he doesn't restructure his contract, and can go find a better destination.

Raiders didn't even score a TD yesterday. And the offense gave up the deciding score on a fumble return for a TD.

Well he only wanted to go to NY if the reports are true. This is likely a short stint with the Jets especially if Rodgers retires at the end of the season if things continue to go south

 

[Terry Yake]

niners season is looking like a repeat of 2020 where they were also riddled with injuries

But he had all the time with those hype videos of him and Rodgers being best buddies, also being on Pat Macafee with him being like 'yeah im here!'

f*** that bitch.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Pneumonia sucks. He'll be better by the end of the week though. They'll hit him with the full battery of treatment.

Saw my dad deal with it growing up. Can confirm shit is scary.

Admittedly my dad was in pretty poor shape health wise whereas Deebo is an athlete at peak physical condition/health so hopefully that helps him out in getting back to 100%

Mayfield to Evans

TD

 

[red devil]

Good looking opening drive by the Bucs ends with a Evans TD

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Same ol' Ravens D. SMH.

 

[EpochLink]

Nice drive for Tampa Bay, results in a TD.

 

[LesCactus]

As a Steelers fan, I’m very happy for Baker and his redemption arc. Hope he slams Baltimore.

 

[Karterthadon]

Baker Mayfield = MVP

 

[Terry Yake]

ravens pass defense is just nonexistent this season

 

[EpochLink]

Baltimore's pass defense is pretty ass, they need to fix that.

Congrats to Mike Evans 100 touchdown, future HOF.

 

[LesCactus]

Mike Evans might be the Frank Gore of WRs. Always consistent.

Mike Evans reminds me of Isaac Bruce, always consistent, produces on point and very under the radar.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ravens D this year is a shell of last year, secondary in particular.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Yeah, happy for Evans. Greatness.

Their front 7 is fine, their secondary is ass.

 

[Romang67]

I feel like this is a poor matchup for the Ravens. The Buccaneers can really move the ball through the air.

Then again, the Buccaneers defense isn't great. Should be high scoring.
