Inigo Montoya Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) I'm not quite sure how that is possible. Announcers are mum on it. Tua being back in the game seems to violate every bit of the protocol. Gross Motor Instability ---- Check Confusion ----- Check "IF OBSERVED AT ANY POINT ---NO RETURN TO PLAY Tua couldn't stand or walk after he hit his head on the turf.

KDIGGZ Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Seems to be a different rule for QB's. Not sure why buts it's all a sham basically 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 So what if he did? Playing a QB that has a concussion isn't a bad thing though it is obvious he has no effects from that hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even have 200 yards passing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_Bills Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Heat and mistakes beat the Bills not Tua. But I do agree, if you make a protocol, stick to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 He played fine after, so not sure what the problem is. Maybe the Bills clueless coaches had something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The protocals are a joke. If the NFL wants someone in, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 To the OP: I think this is one (of many) really interesting aspects to the game today. Imagine your son got knocked silly in a high school football game and literally couldn't stand or walk. He then "comes to" 10 minutes later and seems fine. Would you want him playing football at any point that same day? I would be scared for him to play the following week! 4 minutes ago, zevo said: this is weak sauce to be mad that tua came back in. we had multiple chances to win. we lost.

Mr. WEO Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 he was in the protocol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo44 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 not sure how he can clear protocal after how he looked? That's the NFL for you - it would be like the NFL scheduling a team coming off a Monday night game to play in Miami in September. Player safety is not a consideration for the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone is mad. He literally didnt do anything in 2nd half. It does seem to make the concussion protocol pointless though.

Aussie Joe Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Just now, What a Tuel said: I dont think anyone is mad. He literally didnt do anything in 2nd half. It does seem to make the concussion protocol pointless though. If they want to put their players at risk then I could personally care less..Im only worried about our players and what the Bills do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even have 200 yards passing. It 100% matters if people are suing the NFL for CTE and player health is supposed to be paramount. It may not matter on the small scale of the game, but it's a huge black eye on a league that supposedly prides itself on player safety . 10 minutes ago, zevo said: this is weak sauce to be mad that tua came back in. we had multiple chances to win. we lost. Not just about the game dude. If you're going to flag Edmunds for a hit on a defenseless receiver because of player safety, then the league is obligated to protect a player who fell over and needed two guys to keep him on his feet. It's about the NFL double standard, not a win or loss. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, scuba guy said: It was labeled as a back injury on the stat sheet Cough cougg 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. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
