2022 NFL Regular Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I'm confused. He was listed questionable with ankle and back injuries.
Did you not see his head bounce off the turf and him stand and basically fall head first last week?
 
Ugh, 3rd and inches and you can't do a QB sneak?
 
I fear you are correct.
Unfortunately, I've seen it enough times on the internet to know it. Fortunately, I can't remember having seen it in person.

When I saw that Tua situation live, I only saw his hand in front of his face afterwards and I'm like "Eww, he dislocated a finger."

Then they showed him get slammed to the ground and I instantly knew his fingers curled up like that because his body was in the fencing response. Both hands doing it along with the tell-tale reaction of the spine.

The fact that the most positive news they could deliver is "He sustained head and neck injuries. He is conscious and has mobility in all appendages" is fucking frightening.

Hearing Tony Gonzales and the rest of the halftime show carry the NFL's water was disgusting. "Well the good news is he's moving" no you jackass, the bad news is what we just fucking saw. Everyone saw Tua last week unable to walk then come back into the game. Now we just saw him in the fencing response. He could have died. He could have serious permanent quality of life issues.

The league is now going to come down HARD on Miami for last week. If this didn't happen and Tua escaped week 4 unscathed they would've brushed it under the table. Now, after that happening on National TV? They're going to get bent over.

And it sucks--because the league isn't doing it to protect players. They still don't give a shit about people. They're still stupid, lazy and reactionary instead of actually growing a backbone and caring about anything above the dollar.
 
Can anyone help me understand why illegal contact gets 5 yards added to the end of a run when it’s declined?

I believe it wasn't declined and Michaels just misspoke.

I am not 100% sure on this part, but I also believe illegal contact counts as 5 no matter what happens on the play - incomplete pass, complete pass for more than 5 or a scramble.

Absolutely ridiculous that Ross is still allowed to own and run this team.
 
Saw a report that he is going to be released from the hospital tonight and is expected to travel with the team back to Miami.
 
McDaniel pretty aggressively defended the decision to play Tua tonight.

Adamant that Tua did not suffer a concussion last week and more or less went so far as to suggest that if he or anyone else willingly broke concussion protocol to have Tua come back in last week’s game that he shouldn’t have his job.
