When I first saw that play I thought it would be a penalty because it looked like the defender deliberately spun him and body slammed him. Maybe they should train those guys to wrap the QB up and then just fall. No twisting, no spiking to the ground.
Lets not get things twisted. This is 100% on the independent neurologist. The player, head coach, team doctor, and everyone else has their lane, and this neurologist was brought in to be the authority on this matter. We need a name and answers.
It sounds like “I’m in raw” but pronounced “Ah-min-rah”
I love how Tom completely FLUBS a chance to play a clip and then continues to talk poorly about the broncos and everything else. Tom, you are not going to be the next Steven A.
I’ve had a severe concussion from the exact same fall that Tua had in the Bills game, and I exhibited the exact same symptoms that he did. Your head feels cloudy and you feel distracted, your ears are ringing and you’re disoriented. You shake your head a bit to try to get rid of that feeling, and the world shakes and tilts around you. You stumble and fall because the ground is no longer a flat surface in your mind, your limbs feel heavy and like they don’t work quite right. Then you get your wits back about you and feel fine for a while. The balance thing comes and goes for a couple days
There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that Tua suffered a concussion in the Bills game. I’m not going to pretend that I know how he got through concussion protocol or what went on with the variety of doctors who cleared him, but I am 100% certain he was concussed
P.S.- Trusting doctors explicitly went out the window after the whole “opioid epidemic” thing
P.S.S.- Tom “I support a community that makes up 2% of the U.S. but 75% of AIDS patients” Grossi is not who you should take medical advice from lmao
1:03:00 Guys, the explanation of the 1 point play is in Jon Bois' Scorigami video. I thought y'all already knew this.
I hear amon Ra… That's how it's spelled, that's how it's pronounced
If anything goes wrong…I blame Perna.
I think the best thing for the future of football is to add a softer padding to the exterior of the helmet. Also a chip that can sense a certain velocity and stop of a helmet that could shake the brain
How about the POS that grabbed him around the wiaist and body slammed him?
TL:DR: I think the blame if there was a concussion on Sunday is on Tua for masking symptoms and the protocol for not involving more checks, balances, and independent medical staff involved, which given what happened after his injury Thursday is inconclusive.
The problem is if a player wants to mask his symptoms and insists they're fine, it'll be very hard for medical staff to prove that he's not fine unless it's a really bad hit like the one on Thursday. CT scans are also unreliable as far as revealing any useful information after the fact. The problem is if Tua did suffer a concussion on Sunday with the BIlls, it was a minor enough concussion that he didn't present any symptoms, he had no problem running a complicated offense and make good throws, and people that day, night, and the following days said that he seemed fine. The only evidence for a concussion was how unsteady he was on Sunday when he got up, and the stumble. But those things could be explained by the heat and a back injury (I've had a similar stumble after a fall, so it can happen). So the coach was put in a very difficult situation where he is being told by both team and neutral medical officials that the player is fine, and the player insists that they're fine, and there are no lingering indications that he's not fine. I don't blame the coach at all in this. He is just listening to medical staff and his player.
I honestly think that the hit on Thursday would have put him in the hospital either way. The way he lifted off the ground and the way his head snapped back, it was one of the most violent hits I've ever seen that wasn't helmet to helmet. Could the situation have been more severe because of a preexisting injury that was missed? Possibly. But there is still a possibility that he actually didn't suffer a concussion on Sunday, and that this was a different injury. The fact that he was discharged from the hospital that night, wasn't kept for observation, and was apparently acting normally on the flight home suggests that there isn't an obvious indication of a more severe concussion. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable brain injury, and hopefully Tua is ok, and learns from this situation.
Tbh thought about Teddy and how long it took him after his last huge concussion
NFL ignored CTE for how long? Yeah NFL totally cares about their concussion protocol
If you do all 4 Tom I'll be there. Go be great it's still early in the season
Question why wasn’t it roughing the passer, the late fling to the ground looked excessive and it was far worse than the previous roughing call
How about a simple solution to win by one point is a touchdown without winning field goal and one team gets touchdown with winning field goal. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Leave this here volunteer at an AMATEUR Rugby Club hits no where near as hard, as a coach or manager or just a volunteer you have to do a short course online called smartRugby and one big section is on recognising concussion the McDaniel point is poo poo (quoting Tom). And another thing I’ve had players that have had 2 concussions in a short period we shut them down for the season, doesn’t matter if it’s early season, even once across season one guy got concussed late in a season and then in the first 5 minutes of preseason shut him down. Tua needs to be shut down for remainder of the season
49ers lose a game 0-2 when Jimmy G steps out of the end zone in OT
Maybe no one really is to blame, maybe it's just part of football.
Diagnosis of brain injuries is not a simple endeavor, and football is a collision sport. Of course the media loves to point fingers and the public loves to agree and/or disagree… sick society we live in..
Hate to say it but likely this is just a reality of the nfl..
Tua was looking really good on those short/intermediate passes, but he was finally exposed for underthrowing those long balls. Everyone's put him on a pedestal after 3 weeks (against a Pats team that's just pitiful, and 2 teams riddled with injuries and inexperienced rookies at safety). This week he faced solid db's and safeties and got the pick he deserved. Can you guys stop pretending he's a top 5 qb now? He's good, no doubt, but not great and the Tua hype this year is ridiculous.
Id love to see the lowest scoring game of all time. 2-0 let's go lol
the ass coverage work by the NFL is dis graceful.
Tom, you're wrong on the Amun-Ra thing. First of all, the name is Egyptian, and in Egyptian it's pronounced Ah-Moon. Secondly, his father clearly pronounces it more like Brandon. Not to mention, the letter "i" appears nowhere in his name, so there is absolutely no reason for an "i" sound in the name. You can say it however you like, but it's not properly pronounced Amin.
Karma for tyreek running his mouth
Just to be clear. That other “independent” doctor NEVER assessed him. That’s WHY the team doctors reported it as a back injury. The independent neurologist is only brought in if the reported injury is to the head or neck or if the league calls down to the field and says the player has to go into the protocol . That’s how they skirted the system and it’s the thing they are working hardest to keep from going public. I know this to be 100% true.
