How was Josh able to finish the game with a concussion?

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

It was pretty clear that when his head hit the ground on the sack he got a concussion. 

 

It's the NFLs concussion protocol a joke ?

It looked like an ankle to me.  

[BuffaloBillies]

Looked out cold for a second or two

[Sweats]

We "Tua'd" him........told him to rub a little dirt on it and get back out there.

[Matt_In_NH]

Yeah I remember all the criticism of the dolphins for putting him back out there and the bills “would never do something like that”.   
 

yea the concussion system is a joke, it is easily gamed by the players.

I thought it was his spleen

To be fair, Josh was able to move his own limbs, and count to 1 on the sideline. That’s why he was allowed back out there. 

[Doc]

I'm assuming...he wasn't concussed.  Didn't sound concussed in the post-game presser.

[Delete this Account 1]

Allen pointed to his chest and independent medical staff cleared him. He also didn't seem off afterwards. Ill trust he didn't have one 

[Dr.Sack]

He got a micro concussion. Saw stars. Got smelling salts and got to go back in. That’s a mild injury.

Clear to whom? Are you by any chance a neurologist? Hitting the ground with your head does not automatically cause a concussion. Compare the reactions of Tua and Josh and you will see the difference.

Maybe Allen pointed to his chest to distract from the concussion?

If he can think this rationally, I do not think he has much of a concussion.

Watch the play again.

 

His head hit the ground hard and he was down for several minutes. 

 

Why else would Trubisky have to come in ?

I love the kid. This was a league and team failure. He will never protect himself, he’s all in. The Bills and NFL must protect their players. Plus he’s our Josh, no way the city of Buffalo wants to use him and spit him out.

 

[bills6969]

I don’t  believe for a second that it wasn’t a concussion.  It most definitely was.  It likely was minor enough that he was able to hide the symptoms.

You’re an active poster, I don’t agree with some of your posts. But I’ll die on this hill with you.

Oh, I see, another neurologist gracing us with his presence on this message board.

I'm pretty certain Josh was concussed.  He passed the protocol and they allowed him back out.

 

Josh is too tough for his own good.  He is also too smart for his own good.  So passing a protocol despite being concussed should not come as a surprise.
