Why did Saleh continue to play White

because he traded a failed short term potential gain into a loss.  White played very well.  I hope he's not seriously injured.  He's likely to be in pain for weeks.

This wasn't a Tua situation, imo.  No concussion - his ribs got hurt, but there is no danger to his future by playing him (imo).

 

He just showed he's a seriously tough dude. That was old school out there.  Big respect for that guy.

 

partially fractured ribs are difficult to see on X-ray, which I hoped he had before going back in.  A weakened rib could fracture and cause a collapsed lung  (it happens with heavy trauma) or much less likely, his heart.

Because he was "cleared to return medically" and their only chance to win.

 

Allegedly.  More likely he was given enough Toradol to tranquilize an elephant and sent back out there.  What the Fish did to Tua was malfeasance in the extreme.  I'll be interested to see what the results are of the Mike White post-injury investigation.

Exactly.  There's a difference between being tough and risking your actual life.  I hope he doesn't have fractured ribs, but if so, borderline medical malpractice to send him back out there.

My wife has developed an interest in football this year.

At one point in the second half she asked me if the Bills would be more careful when tackling Mike White if they knew his ribs were hurt. :lol:

She may lack killer instinct.....

 

I’m sorry, but I am STILL laughing about this! 😂

I’m glad it wasn’t an autopsy. That guy got JACKED on multiple occasions. After that first (clean) hit by Milano, he came back and stood in there like a MAN. Respect that all day long.

He ended up going to the hospital by ambulance right after the game because they were concerned about internal injuries. It’s precautionary but at least the sent him, hopefully just ribs 

 

At a guess, they were checking for pneumothorax before he can be cleared to fly home.

Didn’t andrew luck have ribs which ended up being a punctured lung or something kinda bad.  
 

“it’s ribs” is a pretty weak reason to keep playing because it could be much more.  Nice to see him you got out but let’s see how he is for next week. 

 

I actually don’t care but if that was 17 I might think twice
