    I feel bad for her

     

    Smith failed a test last November. He said he has no idea why or what caused his estrogen level to rise beyond the allowed limits.

     

    Can you imagine the fun this board would have with this news if it were Brady!  Thread would go beyond 100 pages.

     

    Have to say, not sure I see where the competitive advantage is to the player on this one.


    Totally guessing here but the higher estrogen levels may indicate the use of some other substance that doesn’t necessarily show up on tests. 
     

    Like an indicator or precursor? 🤷‍♂️

    Just paint the ball bright orange.  Problem solved. 

    It’s funny but Low-Tech solutions tend to work better than complicated and often malfunctioning Hi -Tech. 
     

    I bet this would actually work pretty well

    At that point I may switch allegiance to the Giants

    Here's another angle.

    Ok that looks MUCH less egregious.

     

    He didn't hunt the camera man down, he was looking down then looked up the instant this dude crosses his path and he seems to reflexively push him away.

     

    Sucks for Adams that this wasn't the angle initially posted as I think it would've changed the way this incident has been perceived.

    I thought "Karen's" were typical of women the social media types dislike ... ( white, middleclass, entitled)

     

    I cant keep up...


    From my experience, they are one and the same.

    With the free space, I think I might have just won.

    The Voncast is up also.  Interviewing Josh.

     

     

    That was cool. Very interesting list of elite QBs Leaders from Von’s POV. 

     

    But his respect for JA is sincere and it’s obvious. Never in my wildest dreams during the drought did I think this QB/Team was a possibility for my Bills. 
     

    Amazing

    And it is why most of those teams will continue to recycle their coaches every 3 years.

    I agree completely. Look what getting a D minded coach did for us. 
     

    It’s probably the right choice a lot of times. 
     

    But even in the Bills instance, we still got a young guy with energy. 
     

    Leslie just doesn’t SEEM to bring that and in the hyper media world sports lives in, that would probably leave him off of most short lists. 
     

    Im not sure of a route that gives him another HC opportunity. Great for the Bills but must be frustrating for him.

    It is actually Criminal that Leslie Frazier is still here as a DC (good for us) instead of HC somewhere.

    No one wants an older, Defensive Minded “re-tread” as their HC. 
     

    Unfortunately for Fraiser it’s all about getting young fresh talent and Offense minds these days. 
     

    He’d be a tough sell to any fan base looking to turn their franchise around.

    He's the head coach with medical info available to him for all his players....he's not a Dr. but he does have judgement.  You use your best judgement and err on the side of caution when it comes to the health and safety of others.  He either chose to look the other way to continue the Phins hype train and re-enforce his ego or he just has poor judgement.  

     

    If he did something not on the level with Tua regarding his health, he will lose the respect of the veterans on that team.

    As the leader of that team, when McDaniels saw how Tua was behaving last week, he should’ve used his Coach card and pulled him from the game, regardless of what the player/docs were telling him. 
     

    I’ve served and I’m imagining that the team atmosphere is similar to a military unit’s atmosphere in terms of personal closeness and relationships. The brotherhood.

     

    From that perspective, McDaniels is either a coward, too weak to stand up to the organizational/player pressure to allow this to happen, or a cold heartless human, more obsessed with his ambition to care about the well-being and livelihoods of his team. 
     

    Maybe he thinks he’s more like the Rocky 4 Creed v Drago coach not throwing in the towel/ending the match?

     

    Reality, it’s likely (speculation) a combo of the 1st two and a calculated roll of the dice, assuming Tua wouldn’t get hit like that 2 games in a row. Another poster mentioned the long break after this week. Probably another consideration. 
     

    At the end of the day, anyone from their couch could tell Tua hurt his head last week but the phins are insisting that we’re all wrong. That will be the place where the friction builds until this breaks wide open IMO. 

     

    I know it’s the fish/Tua but this just seems so wrong to me. The team needs to look after it’s members. This seems to have violated that.

    With everything they’ve put out about the “no-go” criteria, I think the only way he could have been cleared to return is if he never actually entered the concussion protocol in the first place. 

    Exactly this. 
     

    The issue is, he was never e v a l’d for a concussion after the hit, on the sidelines. They walked him right into the locker room and probably gave him smelling salts until he came to. 
     

    They told the “independent neurosurgeon” that he had a back injury which the Doctor cleared him of.

     

    There is no way he passed a concussion e v a l. They didn’t do one because they called it something else. 
     

    Is there a way to confirm with the game footage out there? Can we see him going to a tent to be evaluated?

    If the process is (AFAIK) that an independent neurologist examines him and cleared him, I don't expect a team to ever disagree. They could cite an abundance of caution and bench him, but I think the teams SHOULD listen to the honest doctors, one way or the other. Only time I could see that being wrong is if the team tries to influence the doctor. I don't know that they did or didn't. I can suspect that, but I don't know that.

     

    I just can't figure out how he possibly GOT cleared by an independent neurologist, considering that I think we have all seen guys not return after less. That cognitive test must be...really something. Irresponsible to me starts and ends with the Kevorkian that OKed him.


    Im starting to question whether he was assessed for a concussion at all.


    If he was, did the assessor see the play/result or did they just tell him/her that he had a stinger that caused his back to seize up?

     

    I mean…a doc saw that play and said, nah, he’s not concussed. 
     

    Or did they run him in and ask him to be assessed for a neck/back injury to see if he was physically capable/safe to play?

     

    Doc checked his range of motion, and neck stability, and gave him a big thumbs up. 

  11. The issue here is that Tua’s wobbly condition is obvious to anyone who has seen the footage. There is really no debate. So much so, that the standard responses (3rd party doc) don’t satisfy responsibility questions and potential gamesmanship (back injury) comes off as irresponsible. 
     

    Egregious comes to mind. Someone dropped the ball here.  
     

    Due to the National interest in the game (huge audience/best game/close score) the obvious injury and I guarantee a 100% audience response of “wait they’re letting him play” across the board will result in this being more of a big deal than we may anticipate.
     

    But I’m wrong almost all the time 😁😅  

     

    So what do I know? 
     

    I think this game will be the focus game this years team needed to go the distance. All downhill from here. 
     

    Go Bills!!

    I figured, and grudgingly believed, this to be the case from the stands last night. But then I saw the reverse happen - a Bill jumped offside, and it looked like he got back in plenty of time but was still called, was that one also legit? 


    I recall that too!  It seemed like our guy got back and reset before the snap.

    Right Shmite. Flapping his ignorant gums cost him serious cred when he had such a great thing going with Allen.

    Discretion is the better part of valor.

     

    Take off your anger pants buddy. Went out of style a while back…
