May Day 10

The jets look like dog water

It's an interesting topic, and unprecedented territory. It's a crossroads that was inevitable for the nfl and is now here. Not sure what the right answer is, but it's probably allow the player to choose as long as he is cleared by independent doctor(s). If his family is begging him not to play and he does anyways, that's his personal life/business. The Dolphins definitely seem to be in a bind here. After him playing an entire season, paying him, then seeing him concussed on a seemingly mild play... it's a disaster.

These things get easier and easier to trigger it seems, as we saw with a rather routine collision with Hamlin. I remember Lafontaine at the end, he got his last concussion running into a teammate. In Tua's case, any sort of contact on the field is a danger to trigger a concussion (and one that fired around his part of the brain that makes him convulse on the ground). It's terrible for him, terrible for his team. It'll be a constant state of uncertainty. Do they have the highest paid backup qb in the league?

He has to say he has no plans to retire at this point If doctors tell him he cant/shouldn't play again, I can see miami trying to somehow claim he was going to retire anyway and fight for the $

It is crazy what one disaster of a night can do on the perspective of a franchise. They gave a pile of money to Ramsey, Hill, Waddle, Tua, and the coach McDaniel. Now it all looks like an expensive lame duck. Proved against the Bills they can't get it done (that was their best shot for awhile), and now Tua's immediate and long-term football playing career may be in jeopardy.

This is where McDermott is his best IMO. He walks the line of immense respect for players, putting their lives and families first and foremost (that seems genuine).... but also has a scary business side that commands respect and motivates players to prepare and compete. Almost 4 years of not losing a regular season game by a touchdown is pretty insane.

I think, depending on the severity of the Tua injury, we are going to see some high drama in Miami. Its amazing that one night might have sunk a franchise into a long tear down and rebuild. The body language of Tyreek Hill sucked all night, and that was with Tua in the game. Herbstreit was tearing him and his little follower Waddle apart for bad body language on the bench, not seeming to care while the offense was on the field (meanwhile they were feeding a banged-up Achane into a wood-chipper for some reason). If things go south there, and looking at the state of that O-Line and their QB position, things really might implode. Hill, Waddle, and Ramsey, all who are locked in with lots of bucks (Tua too) are going to start pouting and go off. It could get ugly, and there is not much the owner, GM, anyone can do. All of McDaniel's investment in being a 'teammate', 'friend', etc will be completely worthless.

That sequence at the end of the half was amateur hour. It's like the team gave up after that fiasco.

I thought Rodgers looked terribly slow and clod-footed, an injury waiting to happen, but the Jets team is good and won't count them out. A loss to probably the most complete team in the league in week 1 (I call week 1 preseason), shouldn't disqualifying them It's also way early to count the dolphins out... however, this was their beat shot at the bills and they fell on their faces, along with QB health questions moving forward. Many of their leaders haven't proven to be a resilient bunch

It was malpractice.

Why is that stoner coach running achane through a wood chipper right now?

I'm honestly surprised. I didn't have high hopes for this game with Johnson out... the bills laid a beat down in every facet. Early claim on the division.

Legit good coach. Allen helps, made a couple great throws, but he has been a secondary character in this game

Game is still in question... maybe wait until the 4th. A couple more first downs and styler Thompson and this one can feel pretty much done

What an unprecedented disaster for the dolphins.

Ugh. That's sickening.

Gotten pressure on a few really key plays.

That was a horrible sequence by McDaniel. Not sure I have seen worse clock management

I'm not sure its the moderators. They have allowed trump to run all over them. Harris repeatedly hit trump's pride in the first 30 minutes. It got him way off his mark and he seems to not have recovered. Now she is going with issues and isn't really seriously challenged by him. It was a really good job by her and her coaches. The prosecutor background was probably invaluable

I thought the last debate was by far trump's best performance This is by far his worst.

This is a pretty huge early season game, especially from Miami's standpoint. If they drop their home game to the Bills and fall a game back, and have to travel to Buffalo later, that puts them in a bad spot for the division. Plus, that would be pretty crushing mentally I would think.

The 49ers made the jets look bad, but let's see what new york looks like moving forward. Their schedule looks like a pile of winnable games coming up. While Rodgers looked really slow and clod footed, he did show a lot of competence. The jets defense got run over. They are fortunate to get only 32 points against (maybe that's a credit to bend but don't break). They only forced 1 punt and no turnovers.

Rodgers 8 for 13 for 76 yards and an int

The Jets had their fun with the first touchdown. Its been domination since then

I wanted to die with the jets overhype after they scored the touchdown
