This is patently and laughably wrong. Do you even watch games? Hard to believe because there is no possible way you could state this if you did. He is consistently aggressive in going for it in these situations, even early in games, and especially early in games if he expects them to be potentially high scoring.

Yes you can...but it's not what reality is, it is what people's PERCEPTION OF REALITY is. And the perception right now is that football is much more dangerous than other sports for this type of injury. I played soccer for 25 years starting at age 5. Saw plenty of really bad injuries...knees, ankles, broken legs, broken orbital bones from a player missing a header but connecting with the other players face instead, concussions, gruesome lacerations from metal spikes scraping across skin, etc... But people don't associate soccer with these type of injuries, they associate football with them.

Will Levis with the gun show going on...most jacked QB I've seen in a while. Love to see it!

Want to stop these ridiculous price increases? Stop paying for the product. They can only increase prices when people are willing to pay for it.

I have thought about this. I wouldn't be surprised if Goodell tells the independent neurologists(who the NFL foots the bill for, BTW) to never clear him again. He was in attendance for the game and saw the fencing reaction where his arm goes up involuntarily and his fingers become rigidly curled. Second time the entire nation has seen that on National TV in a few years. At a time when the youth football participation rate is sharply declining due to fears of exactly this type of stuff, does Goodell want to expose the audience to this repeatedly? Lots of players have been concussed, don't ever remember seeing a player do that other than Tua. Whether or not it's more serious, it LOOKS more serious and is jarring to see that...it's something people will remember far, far more than just a player being sent to blue medical tent and ruled out. The NFL has spent decades turning football into the monster it has become dominating ratings and TV and bringing in huge revenue. Tua can undo more of this than any other person, player or thing right now. Would not shock me to see them reach some agreement with Tua and his agent and force an NDA signing for him to get a fully paid out contract for him to just walk away. Yes. None to my knowledge have gone into the fencing posture that Tua has done twice now tho.

Even concussion experts don't necessarily agree. There isn't enough data or knowledge in these situations to make definitive statements about if he is in more danger than others would be from lesser concussions. Common sense seems to say that worse trauma to the brain is definitely more worrying than lesser trauma, but realistically all trauma is bad. The fact that he got concussed on a routine hit is more worrying than anything, IMO. Showing that it will likely take less and less to cause future concussions now.

Not a surprise...hard to give up $124 million which is what he would be doing if he did retire... Seeing concussion specialists to determine timeline for return, possibly the same ones as last time. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/tagovailoa-not-retire-per-report-141752453.html

Got a 3rd straight right after the Jags game on Sunday night.

Actually yes it is. People think he is a "conservative coach" but he isn't. Plenty of examples of him going for it in these situations.

He was a terror last game. Looking really good.

Last year was an abberation from him where he stayed healthy all year. This is much more like what you expect from him where he is injured half the year.

And I don't appreciate a defense that routinely plays much worse in the playoffs than it does in the regular season when our main opponents in the Chiefs and the Bengals have defenses that do the exact opposite.

1pm I am probably watching Bucs-Lions and/or Jags-Browns on the laptop and then flipping between Jets-Titans on CBS and Cowboys-Saints on Fox depending on how things are going in the game. In all likelihood will be watching Jets since they are in our division. Then obviously watching Cheifs-Bengals late game.

Well the Bills broke the record against Arizona I believe so it would have been 41 games.

I want to know what specifically changes in the playoffs from the regular season that caused them to give up 38, 42 and 27 points versus 20,20 and 17. Same team, same players, same scheme...drastically different results. And yes, I realize the last game was ridiculous due to injuries but they had all their defenders in the first 2 so that isn't a valid excuse. Ironically they gave up the least amount of points to them in the playoffs when they were the most injured.

Well, he prevented an easy TD to Shakir late in the game against us that forced a missed FG. In the SB he caused Purdy to miss a wide open player in the end zone late in the game that would have given them the lead. Pretty much every game I watched in the playoffs when it's close and late, he makes a play. Sometimes plays to basically seal the game.

Who was lost in the first game and the 2nd game? To my recall we were very healthy on D in the first 2 playoff games. So they lost those players in all 3 playoff games they got blown out on D in or just the last one?

Why? They fold like cheap tents when the games get tough and their scheme is highly flawed against good teams

Huh? Bills had the best screen game in the NFL under Chan Gailey who was masterful at every type of screen. Honestly would love to have seen what Gailey could have done with Allen as his QB... Before that, Kelly and Thurman were pretty great at screens as well. Also ran some great "Gold Rip/Whip" audible tunnel screens with John Brown under Daboll in 2019 and 2020 that were highly effective Seems like you have a lot of holes in your memories over the years 🤣

Not surprising considering the short fields they keep giving us and the extra possession they got from the pick 6.

Held the Chiefs to 20, 20 and 17 points in the 3 regular season meetings. Something changes in the playoffs. Allowed 38, 42 and 27(not 34 only due to Hardman fumbling at the half yard line) in the 3 playoff games.

The difference in all those close playoff games? Chris Jones making game saving plays on D late in the 4th quarter pretty much every game. He's the Mahomes on defense for them. Whenever you need a play to win a game, he is there for it. IMO, he is as much a reason the Chiefs have 3 SBs as Mahomes is, if not more.

It's not just one time last year...it's been all 3 times in the playoffs. Regular season we hold them to 20, 20 and 17. Playoffs they score 38, 42, 27(only because Hardman fumbles going into the end zone at the 1 yard line). That's a massive difference.

Blah...have Brown on one of fantasy teams but I guess it doesn't matter because I also have Worthy

Yes but the thing I don't get is how the Bills handle the Chiefs in the regular season defensively but completely are inept against them in the playoffs.
