Ya he's playing pretty well also

I know patriots suck, but A rod looks good unfortunately

You might be right, but it is still wayyyyyy too early

In 2022 after Tua got hit by Milano, he hadn't had several concussions at that time though and he wasn't twitching on the ground during that game. It is a hypothetical, but that hypothetical I gave you is the same situation as Tua in 2022 that McDaniel was dealing with. Only difference is that it's a AFC championship game with the hypothetical. (Funny how the magnitude of the game can change things) So you disagreed with Mcdaniel in how he handled it in 2022, but you're actually agreeing with him based on the answer you gave me with the hypothetical

Totally fair, you know Josh would want to play though haha. Just like Tua wants too. So to answer my scenario, it sounds like you would play him then Doctors didn't tell him that he needed a month and then cleared him though. Assuming you're talking about the 2022 Tua incident after the bills game Unless you meant after the cinci incident

For me this might sound bad... but it's a no brainer. I'm playing him

Ok let me give you a scenario then. You're the bills head coach and it's the AFC championship game coming up The game/week before, Josh looks like he has a head injury as he gets off the ground dizzy. (Think like Tua when Milano hit him in 2022) But the docs clear him and they tell you he's good to play. Are you playing Josh in the AFC championship game, or are you going against the docs and sitting him?

You could argue that for sure, but I still don't blame Mcdaniel. If the docs clear him to play, you go with what the doctors say. At the end of the day it is a business with tens of millions of dollars on the line for Mcdaniel. If he goes agains the docs and sits Tua out because he is a "good guy" and the dolphins season implodes (which it probably would), then you can bet Stephen Ross would be looking for a new head coach and Mcdaniel probably doesn't have this new contract extension he just got. I think it is easy for us to judge him, but put yourself in Mcdaniels shoes

Hmm I just checked spotrac and you are correct. Weird, I could swear I heard from the locked on dolphins guy that the number was in the 30s

I Heard Miami has an out on his contract after this year if they want. (With like 38 mil in dead cap for 2025. not sure of the exact number but something like that) So if he doesn't return this year, it will be interesting if Miami decides to get out of the contract or continue with him next year

From the national media, you're right. But for anyone who understands the game and just doesn't go by stats and awards, Josh is clearly number 2

Bills. But as we know, it doesn't even matter what KC does in the regular season They unfortunately have another gear in January and always turn it on when it matters the most

Yep. Even in 2019 Josh struggled with the blitz. I was at that ravens game in 2019 , they blitzed Josh on a crazy percentage and he had a hard time. 2020 is when he started to shred it. It will take Caleb some time

Yep and Shane Waldron

The game looks a bit fast for Caleb right now . (That latest sack wasn't his fault)

Pretty good comparison. Good blend of the 2018 and 2019 Bills

When they throw to Collins, things go well. When they throw to Diggs, things seem to bog down lol

This would be huge for the bills if the bears can somehow pull this off

Whoever is, is hitting the whiskey hard tonight

Is that now 2 catches on 5 targets for Diggs?

I hear you. But if I'm the head coach.. And doctors clear him. I'm going with what the doctors say and I'm playing my guy I personally think this responsibility 100 percent falls on the doctors

Tremaine Edmunds lost on that TD

If you're an nfl coach during live game action, your thoughts are on the game. There are 100 things going on and you can't be a therapist with injuries. If the doctor green lights him, you put him in. It's really as simple as that.

Hes a football coach. Not a life coach or a doctor. His job is to win football games. If the doctors clear him, he has to go by that. If he didn't , then he's not built out to be an nfl coach

I agree but I'm not sure how you can blame McDaniel.. If the docs clear him and you're the head coach, would you not play him? Your job as a coach is to win as many games as you can and you have to trust the doctors to make those decisions. Thats 100 percent on the doctors, not McDaniel
