  1. I think right now it looks likely Tua doesn’t play. The betting line and the hush hush nature of news about him for the past two weeks just give me that vibe. But you know he wants to play. 
     

    The fins have a few questions as far as health goes atm. It will be something to watch as the week progresses.

    Holy christ the posters on this thread.

     

    I guarantee you it wouldn't have mattered who our opponent was... you all would have wanted somebody else.  Sorry the Little Sisters of the Poor didn't make the playoffs.

    Never discount those Nuns man. They can be brutal.

    Can't agree on these too.  We've had no interior pressure and made Mac Jones look like Burrow. Speaking of whom,  (Burrow) was carving us up with all day to throw. Pass rush and secondary are a major concern going into the playoffs against 3 very good passing teams ( Miami, Cincy, KC) 

     

    Marlowe was exposed, they are playing soft and not communicating. Tre made a nice play, and a few tipped balls went our way. Better QB's will not give us that luxury, especially Mahomes. I'm not sure how we compensate for the loss of Hyde, Hamlin and Von but it starts with getting a real push in the middle. Oliver, Phillips, Settle, Basham and Shaq need to step it up or this weak secondary will get torched.

    All other points are good signs, especially the deep ball to Brown.  Gabe and McKenzie and the OLine need to play their best if we have any hope of advancing to the Super Bowl.
     

    Idk, Mahomes has a tendency to throw balls that are often tipped or should-be picks - they just tend to fall his way most of the time.

    Agreed and I’m always leery of family members giving medical updates. Required a 2nd resuscitation at the hospital? A 24 year old super fit athlete with no prior condition died twice that night?? Seems unrealistic -especially so if the medical opinion that the hit caused the heart to be knocked off timing and stop..

    The big issue is that doctors aren’t generally great at communications. A lot of good communicators don’t really understand science. So things definitely get lost in translation between the medical personnel to the family and the family to each other etc. 

     

    That’s why I think they need a single spokesperson. But obviously they have more pressing concerns. I don’t think anyone is being intentionally misleading or seeking something by speaking to the media, they just aren’t the right people to do it.

    And a lot of them do it every day, every week, all year long, for many years, or even decades. Great post, btw.

    A lot of ‘normal’ jobs come with risk - I’ve had a second cousin killed by road maintenance equipment on the job, had a distant relative killed by a falling equipment part on the job, and a kid I went to high school was crushed in a factory accident and permanently paralyzed. People don’t think about it much, unless they’ve been directly impacted. The risk isn’t mitigated with a huge paycheck like athletes get or with the “hero” status given to police, firefighters etc. But it’s still there.

  5. In the end I have faith Sean McDermott will do whatever is best for his players and staff - that includes seeing to their mental health. It’s clear he is always extra cautious when it comes to injuries and I think he cares very deeply for his players as people first and players second. 
     

    Whatever that means for Sunday, none of us can speculate. 

  6. Honestly I think the family would benefit from designating a spokesperson officially and saying “if it doesn’t come from x individual please don’t report it, it isn’t official”. 
     

    I think everyone means well in trying to get us updates but I’m of the opinion that there are too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. We all want news but in the end who is correct? 

  7. My brother lives near Phoenix, I actually wanted to go out back in 2020 to see him and go to the Cardinals game (but the pandemic made that impossible). 
     

    I do not, however, have the kind of disposable income to even think about a SB trip. I’d rather be here at home anyway - or maybe in TN with my dad depending on his schedule,

    If it's possible I think I've grown to despise this team, owner, coach more than New England (they're just sad now). The media hype definitely plays a role.

    I hate them more because the team doesn’t back up the fan arrogance. NE fans were bad but the team was every bit as good as they thought for most of those years. 
     

    Can’t act like you have prime Brady when you actually have Tua…
