NFL OFF-SEASON THREAD 2022-23: FanDuel getting everybody hemmed up. ESPN went Kamikaze. We in that dead zone of the year y’all.

It's common sense, we saw him fall over when he stood back up... I don't get how last Sunday happened. That was egregious and they're earning their punishment by what happened to him, which is worst for Tua of all.

If he hadn't come back in last week, would he have played in this game?

If he had a concussion and didn’t return because of it last week isn’t protocol 5 days? Or is it 7? I can’t remember but I don’t think he would’ve been cleared for tonight

 

[rolaholic]

For what though?? They all knew what was up and let him go back out there including Tua himself. No one should be liable for all the stupidity that went down.

The organization and their medical staff are responsible for protecting players from themselves plain and simple

 

[Ricky D]

In all seriousness, would there be a way to prove he had a concussion last week? If not, would he able to sue after what just happened?

 

[broncos19dm]

Really scary stuff brah

Praying for Tua

**** that. Medical professionals are supposed to protect players from themselves.
That's straight up negligence by them & the NFL.

 

[IATT]

Do you people grasp that the NFL has independent Doctors overseeing these tests?

It's not up to the team(s). At all.

The NFL is not going to fine The NFL.

 

[witnesskb24]

I mean if he didn’t have a concussion last week what injury are you going to say he shouldn’t be out there tonight for? What are they protecting him from?

Him getting slammed like that has nothing to do with last week.

 

[frshstunna]

2 concussions in less than a week is really wild tho

When you get a concussion you're more likely to suffer another in the near period/than somebody that hasn't had the first, from what I've been told.

On a lighter note…

Colts v Broncos next week
Is there a holding nose emoji for stinky that I’m unaware of?

It’s a goddamn shame they let that young man out there tonight.

He should never play another down and he should be good for the rest of his life after he sues the Dolphins/NFL to the gills.

Tua got way too many injuries and he's already a small guy. He's pretty much set for life he might have to start looking at letting the game go.

Everyone keeps saying stuff like this...I can understand it too, being older and wiser in life, but you have to remember how much these guys love the game and for most NFL players, it's all they know.

Robert Smith, Patrick Willis, Andrew Luck...that's the exception and not the rule.

Why do you think they always get the short end of the deal in NFLPA vs NFL negotiations?...they think they need the game more than the game needs them.

Players and ex-players aren't happy at all

 

[k3stacks]

That play gave me wentz flashbacks. Dawg get out of the ****ing pocket or throw the ball away. Hope bruh alright.

 

[dwileykyot]

I like that matchup.

You are a sicko… like myself

 

[Liquid Swords]

Brutal to see Tua go out like that. Praying he’ll be aight

But at the same time couldnt they get into deep sh*t if they held him out tonight because of a concussion but let him play immediately last week? If they claim (which I don’t believe) he didn’t have a concussion last week theyd have no reason to sit him this week.

*Again, I don’t agree with their prognosis but I am saying from their point of view*
