The Red King

But that's why the NFL is (supposed to be) conservative on potential concussions.

...terrible? ...biased? Really starting to think the NFL influences these games for better narratives and betting (since the NFL is in bed with Vegas now). Between Tua clearing protocol in record time, to an entire game full of one-sided calls/missed calls. Before someone says it, Buffalo had chances and made a number of mistakes on their own. Not denying that. It just does seem like the NFL has a narrative. Miami is now the scrappy Cinderella team of this season. Remember, the NFL is classified as entertainment, not as a sport.

The NFL wanted him out there. They made sure he was out there. Remember, the NFL is classified as entertainment, not a sport. I keep forgetting that when I rail against the terrible officiating. It's like the WWE, right? The manager distracts the ref while the guy beats the other guy with a steel chair and you're wondering how the refs could miss it. This game sets up a big rematch later this year, which might have initially been a forgettable game with lower ratings. Funny how the games fall, especially this seasons, so that there are few duds. And even those that should be duds are somehow close, or upsets. Buffalo made mistakes, on and off the field. Not gonna deny that. But Tua somehow clearing protocol that quickly, and the refs being so blatantly one-sided doesn't keep me from wondering if games are indeed nudged, and storylines invented.

Hey, he did well playing with a concussion!

The protocals are a joke. If the NFL wants someone in, it happens.

So many injuries, mistakes and horrifically one-sided officiating. This game had it all. Miami is the new Cincinatti, and the NFL needs its Cinderella team. Between Tua somehow clearing concussion protocal and the refs being blatently bias it was pretty clear who the league wanted to win.

Give a game ball to the refs.

Could have gotten out of bounds. Good lord.

Of course. Three tries, don't run Singletary.

Stop trying to run up the middle!

C'mon Buf, Miami is fragile. You sneeze on them, you'll get flagged.

TD refs!!! Woo, MVP zebras!

Welcome to refball?

3rd and 22, no f!@#$% blitz. Great job.

Just...wow...

That line can't open running lanes up the center. Our backs are getting hit in the backfield. No chance.

Should have challenged. Points are at a premium. Now we gotta deal with the concussed QB.

Is this really even Buffalo vs. Miami anymore?

Helmet to helmet. Somehow that's not called. Refs were told to keep this close, it seems.

Can't challenge a penalty, my dude.

Tua needs to get hit a few more times. Blitz if you have to.

Tua back out. Called it.

Bad snap. That might come back to haunt us.

Dollars to donuts Tua returns. Matters too much to Miami and the NFL's narrative. I'm more worried someone goes after Josh now.

That look like PI to anyone else?
