I think the division races looks completely different if the Bills lose their QB for 4 games and the Dolphins don’t.

The Dolphins lost their starting QB,

Better than another season of Zach Wilson lol

They went for it. Its going to cripple them for awhile. but they went for it. They could have tried to save their jobs and build an 8 win team that could sneak it to the playoffs. But they swung for the fences. Honestly, good for them. It didn’t work and is clearly failing spectacularly. But if you’re a Jets fan, you actually had some hope.

They were doomed regardless. Had no choice but to double down.

Not paying Barkley was a good call lol.

A bunch of new OL, and a top 6 pick at WR?

I don’t agree and I wouldn’t make that argument either. I don’t think Dabs lets them bring that group to camp

“The man with the reputation of an early riser can sleep til noon.” Works both ways unfortunately,

Um, I’m gonna say yes because I think Daboll was likely a driving force in getting more offensive talent around Josh. He won’t sit quietly when the rest of the Bills brass decides how many backup DL guys they should acquire. IMO, of course.

Agreed. Josh is playing the best ball of his career on a week to week basis With respect to the offensive talent on the bills, he is clearly the MVP and the best QB in the league right now.

If Pat was any other QB, he would be getting killed. but unfortunately, he isn’t, he’s a 2 time MVP and 3 time SB winner. So he gets more grace than anyone.

“We have great backs, we are going to run the ball and play tough defense” = our QB is garbage Same as it’s always been lol

Will be gone this week. Don’t think will be a Bill.

>200 yards by the WR group. >300 yards passing 3 passing TD’s 34 straight points yeah, I think Amari made a little difference today.

He joined the team like 4 days ago lol

Bernard has a little DaNorris Searcy in him. Doesn’t matter what happens, freak plays, great defensive plays, bad offensive plays, just a knack for being on the receiving end of turnovers.

Now you’re getting it lol

They fired him after the second concussion, not the first lol

What is the point of ignorance? Was the NFLPA in on the conspiracy when they let Tua back in the game vs the Bills and play the Bengals the next week? Why or why not? Please read this article, snippets bolded for emphasis: During the play in question, the player was tackled and fell on his back and then hit his head on the ground. The player grabbed his helmet, shook his head several times, and after he took several steps, he stumbled and fell. The Club medical team and the UNC properly viewed the video of the play in question as required by the protocol and engaged in a locker room examination of Mr. Tagovailoa before the player was cleared to return to play. The Team physician cleared Mr. Tagovailoa, following consultation with the UNC. The steps set forth in the Concussion Checklist were, therefore, conducted. Mr. Tagovailoa suffered and reported back and ankle injuries earlier in the game. Mr. Tagovailoa told the medical staff involved that he aggravated his back injury on the play in question and that his back injury caused him to stumble. Mr. Tagovailoa did not report or exhibit any signs or symptoms of concussion during his locker room exam, during the remainder of the game, or throughout the following week. While the investigation determined that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical professionals followed the steps of the Protocol as written, the NFL and NFLPA agree that the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the Protocols were drafted. https://nflpa.com/press/joint-nfl-nflpa-statement-on-review-of-tua-tagovailoa-concussion-protocol

I can certainly admit they may have been right. I'll do it right now. It's possible that Josh wasn't concussed, and somehow simultaneously injured his chest and ankle on the play that saw his head bounce on the turf and lie motionless for a handful of beats. It's possible that Josh was assessed for a concussion, was deemed to not qualify for staying out of the game, and wasn't concussed at all. Now, can we admit that the NFL's own neurotrauma team could've be wrong? Is that a bridge too far? I know the NFL has an impeccable record when it comes to managing head injuries, but does that mean they are above any level of doubt?

lmao. Now we are moving the goalposts. First, saying that the steps required by the concussion protocol were followed PROVED Josh couldn't have had a concussion. But of course, when they say that about Tua, it doesn't count. Also just FYI, the NFLPA didn't release that statement about Tua until he got knocked out again the week after. Also: (citation needed) Come on now. You're smart. They followed the protocol before and jeopardized Tua's career and brain health doing so because the protocol isn't perfect. To argue it's not possible and that the NFL's concussion protocol is infallible when we have evidence of it previously being VERY fallible is just being obtuse.

I guess every team wants some State-run media then lol

See Doc, this is where you lose. So they said the same thing they said about Tua, when the Dolphins were raked over the coals for covering up his concussion lol. Where did they say there was no loss of consciousness? Here's the statement: So, to review. The imperfect concussion policy was followed to the letter for Tua. Why would the NFLPA lie, right? But of course they missed an obvious concussion (obvious to Bills fans). Then, Josh smacks his dome on the floor. The new, previously imperfect, now revised, concussion policy that I assume you are arguing is 100% infallible and couldn't ever miss a concussion was followed to the letter. Josh gets offered some smelling salts, says he has phantom chankle injuries, and your argument is "its on him." lol lmao even

Theirs is zero point zero part of the concussion protocol that cares about “what’s Josh Allen’s decision.” This conflation is amusing. We had people wistfully talking about how McDermott, a man of integrity, probably wanted to stop the game to protect Tua. And McDaniels, his sleazy HC, put him out there “knowing” he had a concussion despite his medical evaluation. Now it’s spread to, “well it’s Josh Allen’s own fault if he lies or covers up injury” lol. We can’t admit that the concussion protocol may have failed its only directive. I mean, sure it has before but that was THEN. This is NOW. We can’t admit that maybe Josh’s phantom chankle injury (that disappeared entirely) sounds a little fishy. No no no. Josh didn’t have a concussion because the protocol said he didn’t. And if he did, it’s HIS fault. Extremely amusing. I imagine the neurologists at the NFL would love to see your resume.
