How do we feel about Higgins playing most of the game concussed?

[Billzgobowlin]

Knowing how Milano was blamed for Tua we will probably be blamed for this too by the Bengals

[SoCal Deek]

It may have already been said but they’ve had officials stopping boxing matches for decades. And they’re not doctors! He definitely should’ve been forced to sit. You take his helmet. Period!

I’d kinda understand this but it seems like some teams sneak guys by the independent neuros while other teams can’t it’s bizarre lol feels like only certain teams are allowed to let their players risk their brains

A guy is just “coming off concussion,” slammed his head multiple times hard, stays on ground a long time, and literally points at his head! 
 

The “independent doctors” aren’t pulling guys. Plain and simple. 

[Donuts and Doritos]

Reminded me of Dawkins playing concussed. This independent neurologist thing might have some holes.

Imagine how good the Bills offense would be if Allen had Chase and Higgins. Even a concussed Higgins would be our number 1 receiver. 

[Breakout Squad]

It was a joke Higgins was back in the game. Whether he was cleared or not he shouldn’t have been out there. I hope he enjoys his scrambled brain in his 50’s

He went in the tent and they told him to get back in the game.. 2nd time nobody from NFL cared.. they will say something Monday.. joke

Dawkins I kinda understand sneaking by but Higgins shaking the cobwebs out after slamming his head on the turf after just coming off a concussion seems very strange and he got pulled and returned yet another time after that 😂

 

Can’t even remember  Dawkins doing anything super indicative of being concussed but I guess the independent neuro folks saw something

Right after he got checked he stood there while his guy went around him & sacked Josh & he just stood there. He got blasted on here for lack of effort. But it turned out he was concussed. His play was clearly affected.

The assessment needs to take place in the dressing room away from team personnel..

I thought it was a bad look I don’t know if it’s the team or the league

That just gives time for the symptoms to clear.

Yeah sure. "Hey coach, I don't want to play anymore today."  That's realistic.

For a minor concussion, yes.

[Sestak4ever]

I’m sure he only hurt his back, ala Tua in the Dolphins game a couple years ago.😉

Xavier Rhodes did it.... So can he.

Bad look for Cincinnati staff.  This will get scrutinized more in the media this week when there’s no games to talk about.  Either Higgins gamed the system and convinced them he was ok.  Or the staff just dropped the ball, didn’t even notice all the TV replays of Tee holding his head and grimacing.

Im more concerned about larger ones
