My wife was a ER nurse for almost a decade and when she saw that and she saw his hands she told me it's usually a reaction to a severe brain injury. She mentioned the term for it which I can't remember but it didn't look good.

Yeah, that was pretty hard to watch.

I hate to think about it but that could be career threatening.  :(

It's called a fencing response usually indicative of a concussion. That did not look good.

I only saw the replay later on.  That was harsh.  Did the defender get flagged for roughing the passer?

No, he didn't and frankly I thought it was a pretty clean tackle. Of course, I am assuming that the concussion he took last night was compounded by the hit he took 5 days ago.

The tackle was fine.  I was surprised at the injury, until I remembered last week.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Insanity. If there's one thing that can make the league change, it's saying high profile National incident like this. Tua might have just had his career ended right as it look like he was finally putting it together. 100% of the fan base of the league want Justice for him

Go look up Tom Savage. Video is on YouTube. The exact same thing happened to him in 2017. Looks like he's out of the league now.

I wouldn't blame Tua if he retired tomorrow, but football players are different from the rest of us.  Odds are, he will shake it off and try to play as soon as he can, at a great risk to his own self and his future.  This is why protocols need to be in place and used, as most players will always try to play and usually need to be protected from themselves.

Everybody seems so certain that he was knocked out against Buffalo. Maybe he was, but maybe he wasn't, in which case the Cinci thing takes on a very different status. He was evaluated by several layers of people against Buffalo, and presumably they all cleared him. The only thing actually pointing towards concussion was his stumbling, and that could certainly have been, as he said, his back. Honestly, falling backwards as he did looked harder on the back than the noggin. After the game and during the week he was presumably evaluated again my multiple layers of people, and they all cleared him. Whole lot of second guessing the experts going on.

I really don't know what happened, but I wouldn't be so quick to assume that he suffered a concussion the first time around. Thursday night there's no question about what happened. The posturing made that pretty clear to everybody. At the same time that was clearly a violent hit to the head, and need not have been any different were there no previous concussion.

Also, fuck London games. I hate those stupid damn things.

Should be fun to see the analytics nerds defend that decision by Harbaugh today.  Huge win for the Bills, not just in the standings, as that win could help determine home field, but to gut out a close win (finally).

After Tua I suspect that just looking at a player's head too hard will be enough to get him into the protocol.

As a big fan of seeing emergency QBs (and kickers) part of me wouldn't mind seeing something minor happen to Zappe, but NE doesn't even have their emergency quarterback active today.  :lol  Actually, that might make it even more interesting.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

2-2 against the AFC North to start the season isn’t bad, even if they have yet to play a complete game. If they can stay competitive and even steal a couple of wins through this murderous stretch of games before their bye in week ten, the second half of their schedule potentially opens things up to them being a fringe playoff contender, although that’s still a long stretch.

EDIT: An interesting stat from this game, this was only the second times the Jets have won a game not just in Pittsburgh, but in the entire state of Pennsylvania (the Jets are 0-12 all time against the Eagles).

EDIT: An interesting stat from this game, this was only the second times the Jets have won a game not just in Pittsburgh, but in the entire state of Pennsylvania (the Jets are 0-12 all time against the Eagles).

Let's see...

Bridgewater-led Dolphins - this should be winnable, but let's say its a loss.
Packers - they look like shit, but count on this to be the game where they put it together. Loss.
Broncos - Bad team who barely beat a worse team in the Texans, but let's call it a winnable loss for argument's sake.
Patriots - I think this is a win. Jets are, simply, the better team.
Bills - this is a loss.
Patriots - Again, I think this is a win.

So my worst case scenario has the Jets going in to week 11 vs the Bears at 4-6. But I could easily see them being 5-5, if not 6-5, by that time. And no, I don't think the Jets are a playoff team, but it will be nice to still be "in the hunt" and playing meaningful games in November (which we should be).

So I'm going to take a stab at this. The problem isn't entirely the incessant anointing of the kid the second coming, though that is annoying. The problem is the overt branding, and attempt to create a mythos. Listening to Collinsworth last night it sounded exactly like I was listening to Morning Joe or Tucker Carlson (just without the hatred). It's the same media nonsense of telling the narrative rather than telling the facts. The angle here was the old guy passing the baton to his heir apparent. The pupil surpassing the master. A battle between good and evil, old and young, potential and success. It makes perfect sense, and nobody's surprised that this is what they're doing. They make money by talking about nonsense, and more they suck you into the nonsense the better they do. Like I said, it's just like political infotainment in that regard. It's also annoying as all fuck if you're the sort of person that doesn't like your ideology spoon-fed to you.

For my part, and Stadler's going to be right there with me on this, I find it annoying, and on a certain level offensive. I don't need Chris Fucking Collinsworth telling me fairy tales, and in honesty I think the fact that people need to be told what they're supposed to think is indicative of a major flaw in our society.

I'm late to this discussion, but I mean, if you watch these telecasts, as El B said, they get paid to talk about nonsense.

Is Tom Brady a legend? Absolutely. (Fuck him, though. Go Jets.)

Will Mahomes become a legend? He's trending that way for sure. But again, you need time. Bo Jackson would have been a HOFer in both football and baseball had he stayed healthy. Everyone was comparing him back in the day to the greatest of all time. Then what happened? He got hurt, his careers ended, and no one talks about him in the same breath as they do the legends of the game any longer. Because he never made it.

Mahomes could get clobbered next Sunday and his career over. I'm tired of the media anointing people. But that drives traffic to websites, eyes to screens, etc. I totally get it. The key is not to buy into the hype. I think Mahomes is immensely talented and a new generation of QB that follows in the footsteps of Young, Cunningham, etc., that really set the tone for a mobile QB. He's had a great start to his career. But his decision making is certainly questionable. Good defenses get him confused. Collinsworth makes excuses. My eyes tell me what I need to see. Will Mahomes overcome that? I believe he will, and for his sake, I hope he becomes everything he is being lauded as.

But again, as El B says, this whole generation of people needing to be told what to think is just plain dumb. I hate being the old guy, but Christ, come on already, ya know?

p.s. Collinsworth is an idiot anyway...

Funny enough, Collinsworth, as bad as he is, isn't even the worst.  Jim Nantz is far and away the worst at that. Nantz lets it get in the way of his calling the game.
