I never thought he would retire. All the "this is it for him" talk seemed like talking heads manifesting more than reality. To be 100% honest, if I were him I probably would not retire either despite the obvious risks. People do far more dangerous work every day for a hell of a lot less money. I would probably talk myself into taking additional steps equipment wise, playing the game a bit differently to protect myself and buying into the idea that a lot of it was just bad luck. Plus Mitch Morse and other players have continued to play at far more physical positions where the risk of smacking helmets is almost 100%. Not saying it's the "right" choice but it's his identity and his career. I wouldn't be able to walk away and would have to be told no by the team and league, which is not going to happen for obvious reasons.

The pandemic taught companies of all types that people will pay a lot more than they thought for things they really want.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is that it's not impossible that Tua took a few hits earlier in the game or even the Jaguars game that had dinged him up enough that one seemingly routine play out him over the edge. That's what I would be concerned about. 2/3 of the plays that he suffered diagnosed concussions did not appear to be particularly hard hits. The Bengals game one he was ragdolled. But other than that, were talking about routine football plays

I thought of that too .. Rodgers had issues with his calf all summer before week 1 last year

I feel bad for Tua. He seems like an awesome guy and you hate to see him get yet another concussion.

DBs are doing a great job fighting through the blocks

Pegula looks like Buddy Nix

Awesome play call! Michaels almost lost his mind on the TD call

Battle has been joined

I hope the Browns are stuck with that contract for multiple years still as it looks like they are I don't want to see them get a solid QB because they would be a top contender. Watson holds them back capwise and on the field, and they deserve every bit of it

The funny thing is what is the difference? The Jets were prepared for CMC but totally rattled when this dude showed up on the field?

CMC has a calf/Achilles injury. That sounds like trouble

Rodgers passes have looked right on the money for the most part 49ers are just everywhere on D

Rodgers just said we have 2 plays

Replay assist?

Jets cannot run the ball

I like the 49ers style of just beating you up then going up over the top when you get frustrated and sell out to stop the run

Purdy is good. He's making some great throws

49ers are for real yet again.

Feels like SF has been on offense the entire game

Saleh is better than most give him credit for. He's a defensive HC whose defenses are always physical and nasty to play against. Last year they won 7 games without an offense. Eventually the D breaks down. But give them hope and they could be dangerous

Think about a person you know who has that loud, annoying voice and never seems to stop talking. Could be a family member, neighbor, or whoever that you can hear 2 houses away and it seems like they just love to hear the sound of their own voice. How many of those people that you know and fit that description would you consider intelligent?

I thought of Boston for my list too. They would have been amazing!

After this season they're gonna name Bill

Queen would have been an amazing halftime show Rush also would have been epic Styx as well
