TNF Dolphins at Bengals

[Jake]

I was about to say... why didn't they go for 2? Now I am going to say... why didn't they go for 2?

I wouldn't chase a point in the first half but I also expect my kicker to make it.

I don't know what went on in the locker room last week - none of us do - but I'm glad the NFLPA is investigating.

I'll be curious to see the findings. Every team has to follow the protocol and be punished if they don't.

I thought I had heard it was actually a back injury and that he passed concussion protocol.

That was the info I heard. It doesn’t necessarily mean the truth.

Bengals are dirty.

Agreed, I like clean hits. Those, including what happened to Tua, are overkill. I think that player is likely going to get fined. Especially with Goodell watching the game. However, I think the Dolphins are going to be in a world of trouble.

100% this is because the NFL failed him last week.

 

[stiletto]

Dolphins did him wrong

When a guy is stumbling around like that, should be an auto 2 week vacation.

 

[Bates]

If they slid him through protocol in any way, shape or form...the punishment had to be beyond severe.

didn’t the dolphins recently break rules about going after Tom Brady and Sean Payton as coach. Then they had the controversy with firing their coach last year? Idk. I just watched his video last week. Idk if I’ve seen a player react that way and come back in.

Twitter docs are all saying Tua shows decorticate posturing which is really bad.

i googled that and that seems to be the case based on his hands.

 

[Jake]

This is the worst quality broadcast I’ve seen since HD came out. It’s piss-poor.

Looks fantastic here and others have said the same. Sounds like an internet issue.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Its going to come out that some money changed hands or he was taught outright how to fake the test or something bad because everyone with functioning eyeballs saw a concussion and the fact they tried to sell us on "back" when the hit and the reaction clearly were "head" is the most insulting part of it.

Frankly, I think if it's clear that a head injury like that, the player should automatically be sat. Otherwise, he could end up like Ryan Shazier.

Dolphins did him wrong

Independent doctor cleared him as well, not just the Dolphins. I'm glad it's being investigated.

Hope not if he truly didn’t have a head issue.

 

[ShortRound]

I didn’t see the game just seeing the clips on Twitter now. Dolphins need to be investigated.

That was the report. NFLPA is skeptical and investigating it, and that's a good thing.

 

[Beaker42]

Bottom line is it should still be on NFLN.

Everyone involved should never be involved in football after this

I'd be lying if I said I knew much at all. They were talking about it during the game, though. The meddling and stuff...yeah...punish them if they are doing that. But ignoring serious injuries? Criminal IMO

Bottom line is the bottom line. Amazon paid a billion dollars, literally, for the rights.

I watch all games I can over the air, less compression. Amazon is similar. Better than FIOS. Providers compress to save bandwidth because the avg viewer probably won't see a difference but they will start noticing if they watch over the air or Amazon.

C’mon Hennessy - let the findings come out first before saying that. None of us know what was going on with Tua. You’re right but too early.

I'd prefer to wait for the results of the investigation before rushing to judgment, which is usually the prudent approach.

If the NFLPA finds wrongdoing they'll be all over it, and should be. They have plenty of attorneys on the payroll.
