Motorin'

I get where you are coming from. And in lieu of any evidence at all of a concussion, I'd agree. But concussion specialists have weighed in, and claim that was clear and obvious evidence of a concussion when Tua went down. Not only did he not reach for his back, but he shook his head, a sign of a concussed person trying to "clear the cobwebs" and then reached for his head and adjusted his helmet. At this point, we have to keep in mind that a person can have serious physical brain trauma and still be able to pass testing. Similar to a drunk person being able to pass field sobriety tests... And the neurologists don't appear to have anything akin to a breathalizer to know for sure... That's why the list of no-go symptoms were out in place, and Tua exhibited several.

He also said Tua told him the reason he collapsed was bc his "back felt like Gumby" which sounds an awful lot like something a concussed person would say.

The team doctor can go to the independent neurologist and insist that there was no loss of motor control caused by head injury, simply bc Tua said so. And unless the independent neurologist finds clear symptoms of concussion that meet the "no go" rules other than loss of motor control, he can't keep him out of the game unless he overrules the team doctor in regards to the loss of motor control. So the question is, what kind of pressure did the Dolphins team doctor apply to the independent neurologist to rule it a back injury? More to the point, how independent are they? I think the NFLPA and the general public demand to know.

And the question, as posed by Richard Sherman during the Amazon post-game, is whether Tua lied about it being his back and if the team doctor went along with the story bc of how important the game was to them. I'm no doctor, but I understand logic. A player can not pass protocol and reenter a game if he demonstrates loss of motor control following a head injury. What tests did they do to prove it was his back that caused him to fall to the ground? How did they rule out that his loss of motor control was caused by his head slamming to the ground? At this point, they don't get to appeal to their authority as medical doctors. This isn't a "bc I said so and I'm a doctor" situation. They have to answer some tough questions, and I for one have doubts by about their integrity.

He's a lying piece of *****.

There's an official NFL Concussion charity for past players: https://concussionfoundation.org/programs/team-up-speak-up/supporters/NFLPA

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Miami Dolphins for winning the 2022 Week 3 Super Bowl...

Lololol 😂😂😂

I'll believe Tua can win at a high level in November and December when I see it.

Here we go Zebras here we go!

The bass range area lies around 60 – 250 Hz.

Exactly. Lamb got two feet in and controlled the ball through the ground. Had the ball come out it when he hit the turf it would have been an incomplete pass and no TD. Don't love the rule change, at all. But it's been that way for awhile now.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Winter is Coming.

I think we need a thread for each one of those thoughts!

Getting at least Poyer back will be huge... And I don't blame the D as much as the call on the 3 and 22. We only rushed 3 and covered underneath leaving the 2 safeties all alone deep. Should have blitzed with quarters coverage over the top and not given Tua enough time to throw deep. Force him to dump off underneath.

Right on time.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. And winter is coming.

And they should be blitzing more. Instead of playing soft zone on 3rd and long.

See you next year then!

Patriots get a comp pick... I kid, I kid...

Take a nap and sleep it off.

Can't wait to see Tua throwing the ball in Buffalo on Dec 18th.

Week 3. Half the team out of the lineup. Congrats to Miami, they won their Super Bowl. We're on to Baltimore.

If it was 1995 you'd be right. There was no "football move" to complete the catch.
