If weather negates this offense, which it does, this offense is no where near good enough
It doesn’t they are just straight up bad today

Bills never really got close to stopping Baltimore on that drive. They are doing anything they want, any time they want to.
That one absolute dime to Bateman id classify as almost stopping them but your point still stands

Did Josh throw to the wrong spot, or did Knox stop at the wrong place?
Got tipped I think

Really wish the weather was ok today. I’d feel much better. Our strength is throwing the ball. Our weakness is running the ball.
Gonna be the Lamar Jackson running show. Gotta contain and we got this!
Weather could benefit us imo…Lamar didn’t look great throwing the football in that windy playoff game and josh looked fine

You are probably correct, still an obvious penalty on the guy holding the ball.
Yea I wonder if they coach them to make it look like a flailing leg/incidental contact by tripping them higher up to try to avoid the penalty.

The kick being missed is unacceptable, as was the facemask, because someone is watching Josh at those moments. The only excuse I can give for the kick is that official actually thought " that can't be what I saw because no one is that stupid", not a good excuse but something.
Not that it makes the situation any better but I think Ingram was trying to trip josh if he scrambled not roundhouse him in the nuts. Still pretty dirty though

This is why I strongly condemn the Dolphins org in general and the head coach in particular: his comments COMPLETELY ignore the video evidence following the Milano hit.
I think he wants to believe that he'd never knowingly put his players in harm's way, and maybe he did NOT in fact see Tua being obviously concussed and wobbly on the field in real time, but he has had NO comment on the replay that the rest of the sports world has seen multiple times? That's some soulless, corporate, litigation mitigation right there.
He also said ‘tua definitely wasn’t concussed during the bills game’ after the bengals game which is an outright lie on someone’s part. No doctor on earth would definitively rule out a concussion after that hit and short onfield test…they might say a back injury could cause the fall though but concussion was still a pretty likely cause and would not have been ruled out

I gave the Dolphins the benefit of the doubt when they put Tua back into the game against us. I thought he had obviously been concussed -- just like everybody else who saw him stumble around -- but I thought it was pretty unlikely that any NFL team would send a concussed player back into a game in 2022, so I figured hey maybe this "back" story is really true.
If I gave the Dolphins coaching staff and medical people the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure I would have given the Bills the benefit of the doubt if the same thing had happened with Allen.
If tua grabbed his back instead of grabbing and shaking his head I would’ve given them the benefit of the doubt. Given how he reacted to the injury though there’s just no way you can pass him on the ‘gross motor instability’ test. A back injury probably could cause the fall but the head grab/shake made concussion the most likely cause by a healthy margin.
I believe the rule is written in a way that if the player passes the other tests and there is some possible alternate explanation for the fall they are not automatically ruled out though. The neurologist likely got fired for ignoring common sense/their medical training and following the rule too closely imo

I'd be ok because I don't see anyone in our division running away with it.
It may put a damper on my thoughts winning the 1 seed.
I still think we’d have a decent shot at it even if we lose…only team id really worry about is baltimore. Baltimore has had a fairly easy schedule so far though and we’re gotten through a majority of our tough games after Sunday with really just GB and KC to go.

Hey… i wish to know what would be your thoughts in case tomorrow we will lose again.
I know i would be really sad being 2-2 with to losses in a row, but playing in Baltimore with all the injuries we have and with Lamar playing so good, it’s something very possible.
That wouldn’t change my opinion about how strong we are as a team and that when all healthy again we could win every single game till the end of the season, but i know i would be down till Tuesday or Wednesday waiting for the next one vs the Steeler.
What about you ?
ps. one aspect that could be very important is if we could run better… gaining from 100 to 150 yards on the ground could increase our chance of 15/20%
It wouldn’t be a huge deal…our schedule is very front loaded and 3 of the first 4 games were on the road. We could still fairly easily go 11-2 down the stretch.
injuries are less of an excuse against baltimore though because they have a bunch of em too

Morse injury hurt quite a bit, but Saffold, Bated and Brown have all sucked to start the season as evidence in some aspects of his breakdown.
I mean that’s true…but the guys that replaced them sucked worse and the guys that replaced the guys that sucked worse sucked a lot worse lol not to mention they couldn’t give saffold or Dawkins a breather down the stretch because there were no healthy players left
we would’ve obliterated Miami if we had even half the injuries which still would’ve been a ton of injuries by normal standards
theres this narrative that Miami had injuries too but looking at the snap count it’s just not even remotely close to the mess we had.

Mcdermotts done a nice job against Lamar the last two meetings…our offense just couldn’t get going in that regular season ravens game a few years ago

Cover 2 is super effective when the offense is missing 5 offensive linemen by halftime

The funny thing about the weather on Sunday is that it was perfectly normal for September in SE FL.
It was in upper 80s, nearly 90, and like 101 on the heat index. It's been pretty much that way down here on a daily basis for maybe 3 months now, or more.
And it's exactly what it usually is in September.
I still don't understand why the players were so bothered by the heat in this particular game.
The conditions had to be nearly identical to what they've played in down here, early in the season, for the last good many years.
We couldn’t substitute as much as we normally would’ve because of the injuries. Losing kumerow early was huge. Had two less defensive linemen to rotate in as well and on the offensive line dawkins and saffold were gassed but we had nobody left on the bench

It’s pretty crazy that they put the roof on relatively recently so they were melting both teams for years

So I fell on Tuesday and cracked my head on the corner of the wall. This post applies to more then just Tua's concussion, it applies to Trent Edwards and everyone else players or otherwise. That's why I made a separate post. Anyone else out there that got a concussion can add their experiences as well.
Let me tell you where I'm at. Tuesday was bad. I ended up in the ER. I was dizzy, with double vision. When I got home, I was stuck in bed. Now Wednesday I felt a lot better. My head was mostly better. I was fine in bed or in my chair and just a little fuzzy when I got up and moving. I could move around with pretty much no difficulty. I figured things were recovering quickly. On Thursday I felt much the same, no better, no worse. Then I woke up today. My head is swimming. Things are not as bad as Tuesday but they are worse then the last two days. I need to be careful when I get up and move around. That's when I discovered I'm not alright and it's going to be some time before I am. I can't imagine what this is like for football players who are rushed back into playing. Tua is, of course, the worst example but this applies to anyone who is concussed.
So, what is the point of this post and why is it separate? I want to get other members' experiences. How their concussions affected them and how much time it took for them to recover. I also want this to be a precautionary tale to anyone who gets concussed in the future, to look at these posts and not rush themselves back so that they don't risk additional injury. Finally, I want this post and additional replies to put NFL concussions in perspective. Sometimes it's hard to see how concussions can truly impact players, not just short-term, but long term as well.
So TBD members who have suffered concussions, I want to hear your stories as well...
I’ve had two pretty minor ones. First one I was scrambling for a loose ball on the floor face down in basketball and someone kneed me in the back of the head and smashed my head into the floor. I was very woozy with hazy vision. I felt better a couple hours later.
second one I caught an edge snowboarding and fell backwards and smashed my head on ice with no helmet. I was really nauseous and had a pretty serious headache but wasn’t as woozy as that first one. Both were mostly better the next day. My hair grew in gray in the spot where I smashed it on the ice for months after

Which is an absolute failure in the protocols if true. If you leave loopholes like that in, they WILL be abused. It's possible to have two independent causes of similar symptoms concurrently, that's why the automatic no gos are supposed to be there. This is all just plausible deniability for a cover up from a scumbag organization.
Absolutely…they will 100% have to overhaul the protocols after this at the very least

It was a flukey loss which I’m sure they would agree with…it being against the dolphins is what made it suck extra hard

all possible but we know it was a cover. Everyone watching Sunday could tell his head slammed on the field and that was why he couldn't walk
Yep it was some combination of bad medical advice, weak protocols, and intentionally getting an important player back on the field and it’s hard to tell how big of a factor each of those pieces was with what is publicly available. At the end of the day the dolphins coaches could’ve chosen to hold him out…there’s no way a doctor could say tua absolutely did not have a concussion from the 10 minute test they do

Was the back injury reported? Do NFL teams have to report injuries that get examined during the game?
We have eyes. Honestly I would rather just have the old rules back where we didn’t care about concussions and just let the players decide for themselves.
The NFL thinks we’re stupid.
I feel like I remember hearing he had a back injury coming into the bills game but I’ll see if I can find any info on it.

So he admits they don't look at the video evidence of how he was loopy on the field. Also seemed to say loss of motor function isn't a "no go", despite it absolutely being so?
It probably isn’t an automatic no go if there is some kind of reasonable alternate explanation…which they thought they had

Still amazing they called it a back injury.
My guess with absolutely zero medical training but several documented concussions lol is that he probably had a back injury and a concussion. the team doctor probably suggested the loss of motor function could’ve happened from the back injury if he passed all the other concussion tests and the independent neurologist said it was possible. It’s the team doctors call ultimately.
I bet they waited til halftime to test him so he got some of his wits back. If he got that test right away no way he would’ve passed
5 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said:So I’m just kind of learning the details of “no go” protocol.
So apparently if a player suffers fencing symptoms like we saw last night it’s automatic no go. Obviously.
But if a player stumbles to the ground after a hit to the head all the doctors get together and determine what caused the stumbling? Are we stupid? That definitely sets up a huge loophole in the rules. Why would they even put that in the rules? Just in case a star QB gets knocked out in the Super Bowl he might be able to return?
Yikes.Yup a loophole that was exploited either accidentally or knowingly
