Mr. WEO

countless posts since the game have remarked on how Bills players were flopping all over the place from heat and exhaustion. If you get blasted after playing a half in that heat as a QB, you may not bounce right back up. Dane Jackson and Hyde both took big head shots (Hyde's was enough to cause him to go out on IR)--neither entered the protocol.

And here, unfortunately, is their most eloquent spokesman.. The lead paragraph is just so awesome on so many levels. It's a 30M dive into a (knowingly empty) pool. I'm not 17, but have been in practice for 27 years, but it's always refreshing to hear how my business runs from the perspective of someone like you, who is so wise in the world. Tell me more about medicine and medical practice and liability exposure (you are "a lawyer", after all!). Anyway....the "neurosurgeon" evaluating the player on a Sunday for an NFL game certainly would not be "risking his career" by saying "you need to go into the concussion protocol" to a play who got his bell rung. This should be obvious for 2 reasons (even to " a lawyer"). One, that's what he's paid to do and these guys do this very thing all the time, so to (bizarrely) claim that putting a player into the protocol would ruin the doctor's career is idiotic. It's also rally dumb because that doctor already has a practice--this is a side job. He/she makes his/her money outside of the NFL. I'm trying not to laugh, but what type of law do you practice? If you were representing an independent neuro examiner in general, would your advice to him be:"no matter what it looks like, make sure you put the guy back in the game if the team brass gives you the 'wink wink'"---don't worry about this guy cleaning you out if he stokes the next day or needs burr holes". Is that what you would say---seeing as this is your read on the real world? lol see above. this guy is something!!

Ss you point out, this is system run by employed and independent physicians both evaluating the player. Any disagree and it’s a no go. You won’t find an article claiming those two systems of doctors are paid to rubber stamp a players return. But yeah, plenty here believe so for some reason..

Yup. The independent neurologist is there not only to provide the neuro exam, but to provide the ruling opinion re: concussion and avoid any appearance of conflict of interest with the team's medical staff, who are also present.

ANTONIO WILLIAMS IS AVAILABLE!!!!

@Choas will soon be teasing a +200 for us to triple our incomes on that "Dallas takes the AFCE title"

I prescribed/prescribe opioids all the time---yet i haven't gotten the big payoff. Am I doing it wrong? Look, there's no chance that a neurologist specifically hired to evaluate a multimillionaire for a concussion would risk his livelihood and savings in a massive plaintiff award for....what, a couple of bucks from the NFL? Maybe I missed the sarcasm?

No but that's what he told everybody as to why he went off on that car....

exactly. this team has mediocre backs. that's it. let them catch passes and block for the money makers.....

What would be the motivation for the independent neurotrauma MD working that game to lie or fake or blow off a player's in game evaluation for concussion? These guys are already in practice making bank---the bit they get for showing up on Sunday to be available for an in game e v a l is pin money for them. Yet their liability exposure is nearly infinite for the wrong call. They would put their livelihood at risk for some bragging rights to their colleagues, free access to the sideline and a per diem? lol, no. Suggesting they aren't therefore "independent" makes little sense.

holy cow...

They are the NFC team to beat

not Scott?

everyone "cared". no one else lost their s-----t over it. ' plus, he's not on the field, like Josh, etc,. he's in a booth on the phone the whole game. Grow up a little Kenny---it's week 3 on your new job....

pretty sure Vegas is aware of the injury report with that line...

As I said, you can get in with a printed version of your e-ticket---like printed as an 8.5x11 piece of paper from your HP printer. No one is going to buy a printer sheet ticket in on the street before the game from "a scalper". There really is no simpler system than transferring/selling e-tickets, so I don't know what your friend talking about. why on earth would someone go to the box office to get a printout of the ticket on their phone??

Jerry and Howard will be watching the Bills in the playoffs at their local Buffalo Wild Wings as Frank takes their order...

it was a great look...lol dude called a stellar game..

So the Bills are uniquely constructed to NOT be able to play in: Wind Rain Heat what about late Fall, when the leaves change? color confusion deficit?

ok... Both teams were gassed. But no matter the weather-----it allowed them to run upon 500 yards! They blew many chances--not because they were hot.

Didn’t they do exactly this in the off-season? Add the over the hump pieces?

If the Bills had only 200 yards offensive and 19 points instead of five hundred…..then yeah, maybe blame the weather. It’s almost impossible to accrue that many yards and under 20 points. Sloppy. The D didn’t loose this Gabe, though short handed

Big Ben "aged out overnight"....lol!

he bounced a short pass for an easy TD in the 4th.
