Tua suffered THREE concussions this season. I know it’s the playoffs but I’m sure doctors don’t want him playing. I can’t remember the last time someone suffered three major head injuries in a season. I mean his were bad. 

If the Phins front office has any desire to keep Tua long term they should bench him for the season and look to next year.

 

I have a feeling that they wring him dry if they can

I’m wondering if there is a bigger role to play for Hines and Beasley come playoff time?  They have been used so little offensively that would they be looking to spring them on an opponent?

we need a slot receiver. McKenzie not working out. Not sure if it's his fault or Dorsey. He's definitely not being used like last year

Dolphins board doesn't care if Tua ends up brain dead, they want him on the field no matter what. They said other QB's made it through all 5 steps in 1 day so Tua should definitely play. If they cared about their team they would listen to the doctors. They have a very small chance of beating us with Tua and even if they somehow did by some fluke play do you think they have a chance against Cinci and then KC? Dolphins fans are the worst

 

The ulimate irony being if they had benched him after his first concussion - sorry, bad back - then in all liklihood they wouldn't have made the play offs. They would have lost to Bills (Bridgewater failed to complete two passes and was sacked during the short time he was on the field), and the Steelers would have jumped them into seventh.

My gut tells me Tua and Mosert both play. I don't think McDaniels cares about anything but winning. Their doctors have already proved that winning is their top priority. If it's solely a Dolphins decision I think they play. Only saving grace is now the spotlight and heat is more on the Dolphins due to their past criminal behavior.

So in essence it was a great move for the Dolphins.

I agree. I think McDaniel schemes up a heavy ground attack using Mostert, Wilson Jr and Ahmed while Tua makes the safe throws/game managing.

A big reason why the Bengals hit was so bad was the Tua still hadn't recovered. If they bench him and let him heal they don't go on a multi game skid and the Steelers hit doesn't take him out for as long.

Let us face the Miami football team at their best.  This Board went from dissing TT to the max, to being afraid of him.  

I hope TT and Mostert play.  I want to beat their best in the playoffs.

I think the bills will beat them either way.  Having said that - i think Tua will be forced to sit.  The league and NFLPA are probably pressuring Miami to force their hand.  I think they'll make formal changes to concussion policy in the off-season but for now, mcdaniel's press conferences seem to me like him/tua don't really have a say in this no matter what.

What is Bridgewater's status?  

 

Screwed up finger on throwing hand.  He has small hands, and its a cold weather game... my guess is he's inactive.

Ahmed and Wilson Jr aren’t bad but they’re not much to worry about as much as Mostert

They can do some damage too. I mean which Bills defense shows up for this game? 

 

I'm interested to see how the Bills Oline holds up to the Dolphins D. The Dolphins love to blitz and bring pressure. They have bern relatively successful getting Josh off his game. Of course, Josh and the Oline are much healthier now. Big match up to watch. Wilkins, Phillips, Chubbs, and Ingrahm are formidable.

I think that's their best chance to win. Pound the rock and make a couple of big offensive plays. I don't see them putting the ball in Tua's hand and saying go ahead kid win it for is. Tua is more of a supporting cast QB. Don't blow it and make a few great plays. Let Hill and Waddle get the YAC.

I didn't see Tua being in extreme doubt to play. Maybe I missed it?

 

But Mostert out is huge. He was gashing is because of the Cover 2 shell that we realistically will need to play again

 

Cover 2 shell is about the only way the Bills can manage to lose this one. The Dolphins offense is predicated on knowing those holes, and arranging to have the ball and receiver meet there with precise timing. Particularly with their being a division foe with a lot of reps against the Bills scheme, they know just where to attack and they will when the Bills run their good ol' basic scheme out there yet still again.

I don't

I agree. I just want to win and them being out gives the Bills a much better chance to win. I'm not looking for any style points. Just win! Also, the Bills are without Von and Hyde. So I don't wanna hear anything about injuries.

Tua probably already doesn't know where he is. Fin fans won't be happy until he doesn't know that he should be somewhere.

I think ralonzo said it best. If Fraizer uses cover 2 shell then that’s the only way Buffalo screws this game up.
