Wasn’t only against us— tacklers playing the Dolphins these last few weeks just bounce off him. When healthy, the guy is elite. He was injured during the game today.

The one GB saw before that, who’s at least competent. I’m not asking you to be scared of Miami.. just not sure why anyone would draw anything from a game where they played their 3rd string QB. He doesn’t remember the interceptions? I haven’t read that anywhere. I think he likely had no symptoms until after the game. Not sure his bad second half can be chalked up to the concussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Tua thing will be an interesting story. Miami needs him in there, but there will be outside pressures to keep him sidelined as everyone in the media, unaffiliated doctors and fans/social media are worried about his future. He hasn’t played or practiced since the GB game. I mean if they play Tua and he takes a blow to the head and is really hurt again, that organization will be crushed by everyone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor26 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 There is a zero percent chance Tua plays. McDaniel just wants the Bills to think there's a chance. But let's be real, after the Hamlin incident, NFL will be carefully monitoring player safety, and before Hamlin Tua was the poster boy for the need of increased safety measures in the NFL. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If Tua clears protocol I could see him playing. 2 concussions so far with a 3rd being classified as a back injury. It Tua plays I have no doubt he will get another one, when Milano or Edmunds nails him and his helmet hits the near frozen turf. I hope they don’t play him for his own sake.

DrPJax Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Don Otreply said: Won’t matter, Tua will be playing scared knowing full well his career is just one hit from being over. Sorry , no disrespect intended , but you don’t know how Tua will be playing ; why would he go out if he is “ scared”.? Thats just speculation/ fan speak and if he is out there , with all the focus specifically directed toward him ,,he does not play without clearance so it’s out of his hands. Usually you expect a guy with three documented concussions in one year to be shut down, but if he has no symptoms and clears the protocol, I bet this coach goes with him with so much at stake. Even our own pro bowl center has SIX concussions, at least two within this year , and I have not heard he is playing scared (he has never said so ) and obviously he has not been “one hit” from “ his career being over “ ( related to his concussion history , yet EVERY player is ONE HIT from their career being over as Hamlin nearly or possibly demonstrated a week ago ) , ao speculating about Tua because you are a good Bills fan is being a little biased. It’s been a great year to be a fan of this team as they seem to keep winning despite making several mistakes that somehow they find ways to recover from ( another red zone int by Josh, lost fumble by motor , touching a punt and turning it over to the Pats , allowing Jones,who everyone on here describes as average at best , to go 17/17 in three TD drives as our d faced an 8-8, now 8-9 team), and truthfully we were behind by three to this bad offensive team on our home field at one point, so who knows what to predict? Despite the mistakes, they keep making spectacular things happen that they pull out wins with, like two kickoff returns for Tds , Tre making a key drive stopping int , and while Gabe seems to be dropping balls more than expected or not getting two feet down more than once , in comes Smoke from the past with a great Td catch, or Allen makes up for the red zone int with a perfect bomb to Diggs and extends another play finding Dawson in the endzone! Here’s hoping Dorsey will roll out some new wrinkles , like Beasley, Smoke , throwing downfield to Cook, running Josh inside the ten, using Shakir more etc. Predicting anything about Tua and the Fins just seems impossible this year and I personally hope he is out. ( alls fair in the playoffs cuz it’s one and done !) It’s a little concerning as he did lead them to one of the wins against us and they played well against us in cold weather: it probably will be another one possession game ( we won the last one here in the cold 32-29, they beat us by two in Miami, so seems it will be very competitive). We played at a different level last year in the playoffs, but injuries have really taken a toll this year. Hyde is out , Hamlin is out , Poyer and Tre are not 100% , and the guy Beane thought was critical to advance , Miller , is out. Throw in an OC in his first playoff game and it might make things a lot more even or unpredictable than we expected. Vegas tho must think Tua is not playing with that line, and any advantage to overcome the gift KC got having to play only two games to get to the SB, after losing head to head to both us and Cincy, is something I’m all for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
