Hope it's nothing serious.

The way he tried to jump forward wasn't smart.

I'll never understand why he did that. He clearly had the 1st... My fantasy team with Tua and Hill is almost shot.. Skyler should be commuting to work with me in the AM. NOT playing QB in the NFL

Tua really has to consider retirement that's his 4th-5th concussion in such a short amount of time. The scary thing about concussions is the more you get it the easier it is to get the next one. This new one wasn't even that big of a hit.

He absolutely should quit the game. Heaven forbid his CTE gets out of control and he does something unfathomable such as what form wrestler Chris Benoit did…it’s a real thing to worry about with the severity of CTE…

 

He has well enough money to last him and his family and life is far more important.

Yeah Tua is toast at this point. His brain can't take the hits anymore. Very Austin Collie like. 

 

Good thing he got that huge contact this summer. Also sucks for the dolphins in general but even moreso because they could've picked Herbert or Love in that draft.

People complain about the guardian caps being "ugly" and then injuries like this happen... if I was a player, I'd be wearing whatever I could to not have this happen to me... Not sure if the fencing response he tends to have with his concussions is indicative of the severity, but the concussions he's had have looked pretty terrifying. Really hope this one wasn't as bad as it looks.

I don’t think a guardian cap would have helped him. He seemed to get this concussion more from his neck bending then the actual hit to the head.

Bills going to the SB. Too soon?? :) 

Everyone was wondering what they were doing in the off season but it seems to have worked so far.

Yes, too soon. They need to win a playoff game against the Chiefs, then I'll consider them SB contenders. 

 

They are due for it. But the Ravens and Texans will also be in play.

 

It will be those Top 4 dogs in play for the SB from the AFC when it is all said and done - Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans

Tua has a lot to think about. 

 

All the nightmares come back when I see these concussions... 

 

I never made it to the NFL. But I'm still paying a life long price for suffering multiple concussions from my time playing as a running back and safety. 

 

Bad migraines almost on a weekly basis. Severe depression at times. I'll be extremely annoyed and angry for no reason. Sometimes I hate myself with no explanation of why. Cognitive decline... There are moments when I'm teaching and I just pause mid sentence and completely forget what I'm saying. I'm only 36... 

 

My heart fell so hard last night seeing this young man suffer yet another one. Mental health isn't pseudo. It's very physical. 

 

I'm having a rough week, lots a negativity weighs on my mind. I'll probably stay off the forum for the most part unless I get push away this dark fog over me. I'll still come back in to do my picks because it's a welcome distraction. 

 

But I don't think I can handle all the despondency in the main thread this year. 

 

Take care of yourselves everyone.

I wondered that too.

 

BTW, did you see how Cousins played against the Steelers?

If you can't play well against the Giants, then you really stink lmao . Lets see how Darnold looks against the 49ers. If he wins that game, then we have something. Giants are arguably the worst team in the league along with the Panthers.

They look pretty good. I still like the Ravens but Josh Allen is no joke. Beating the Chiefs will take a perfect game by either the Bills or Ravens. They have it in them and what I mean by perfect is, no turnovers and no miss FGs because both those teams can put up 27 points.

They definitely exceeded expectations against another high-octane team, much better than people expected given their offseason. I think them allowing the Chiefs to snag Xavier Worthy is going to come back and bite them in the behinds come playoff time…or maybe they’ll get over the hump. Then the next task will be getting over the Super Bowl hump 😂

You would think he’d learn to slide by this point…Sucks to see. Nick Saban raved on him and if I’m not mistaken called him the best quarterback he had ever coached. Hopefully he makes the right decision and moves forward living a financially comfortable life.

Lol. What does that have to do with Cousins? How Darnold played against the Giants had no bearing on how Cousins played at home against the Steelers.

 

Interestingly, many people thought the Giants would win, as they were playing at home against a team with Darnold at QB. The Giants had acquired Brian Burns who was expected to make an impact.

@Qwiz   Did you play the Vikings defense last week? I thought of you after Van Ginkel got the Pick-6.

Haha! No but looking at how that game played out I should have 😅 I went with Seattle against rookie QB Bo Nix…it worked out, I won my game, but definitely could’ve gone better 😂

chuckling homer simpson GIF- you know that was a dig at Captain Kirk Sigh GIF by Star Trek- and I know you like Darnold, so I took a dig at Darnold who I think is nowhere near on Cousins level. That was my point of the post.

Let's see how Cousins fares.

Halftime Vikings 13, Niners 7. Vikings should have been up 13-0 or 17-0 but as we were driving, Darnold threw an interception. (He threw a 96-yard TD earlier in the game.)

 

The Saints are up 35 to 13!!! Over the Cowboys at Dallas.

Go Vikings, the Cowboys just aren't a SB contender. Jerry has ruined that team.

    • Probably twice I can remember but never missed a game.
    • I would honestly trade pittman and draft someone that is A a better player more dynamic weapon and B cheaper.
    • Gus will get fired and nothing else will change.   After the Colts finish with a top 15 pick its going to be the same thing.   Ballard will say “Look, we didn’t get it done. I will hold myself accountable and I didn’t give us enough to do go win games. Look We had some tough injuries. Things just didn’t go our way. I still believe in these young guys.”   Ballard mentioned in his earlier years that he will spend to get the team over the top. Once he believed the Colts were close to a championship he would be willing to risk more to get some guys to put it all together. Problem is, we haven’t even been close because of his poor decisions and stubbornness.    Okay rant over.    
    • Guys I will take the blame for all the injuries. I don’t know what I did to get cursed but all of my sports teams this year are made of glass. I’m a huge braves fan and we lost our star outfielder Ronald Acuna for the year and our star pitcher Spencer strider for the year.  That’s not all, our all star level players Ozzie albies ,Austin Riley , and Roy winner Michael Harris, lost over 50 games each with injury.   Oh and our best pitcher and this years most likely cy young winner got injured and couldn’t pitch in the playoffs.    I feel like I’ve seen so many injuries this year on my favorite teams that I’m some how causing it , like medusas gaze lol.    No but seriously I think this could be a blessing in disguise. Pittman wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire and I think our young guys could use the experience of stepping up into a higher role in the offense. We will see how it goes.
