The Bengals unis look - great???

Hell yes

Make sure they don't accidentally attack Roy.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:23 pm

Yeah those unis are legit.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:24 pm

Oh no. That’s bad.

And that looked violent.

They changed the colors of the Fauxboys in the DirecTV commercial!

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:25 pm

Those uniforms are a plea to get more gay fans.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And yeah. Tua looks like he suffered a nerve injury. His fingers were all sorta cramped.

Wonder how Tua will pass the concussion protocol this week.

Nice to hear Al Michaels being the good company man, talking about the back "injury".

Reaper · Post by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:27 pm

Yeah, something's not right. It looked like he couldn't make a fist or put his fingers out straight. Looked like a 40-year-old OL's gnarly fingers.

And how hard it was for poor Mike Brown to finally give into the almighty dollar and pimp out the stadium.

How was it the Dolphins maneuvered Tua around the NFL's concussion protocol?

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:33 pm

By pretending he didn’t have a concussion.

He crumpled like an accordion though.

(and that's why they should've gone for it on 4th down).

Yeah I wanted to make sure it was clear I did too. Was worried the inflection in my statement was off.

What else is new, most NFL teams would have run Barbaro in the Belmont

I'm sure they won't be, but people should be fired over allowing that to happen.

The guy needs to let go of the football. You can count on a training staff to protect you or you can throw the fucking ball

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 9:31 pm

Oh yeah, Goodell will do a thorough investigation. I'm sure the right people will be held accountable.

I mean, last Sunday Mac Jones got absolutely trucked almost a full second after he released the ball on the Pats' final offensive play vs the Ravens. The refs didn't even bother with a late hit, or a helmet to helmet flag.

Cause he can't see downfield? You're the qb. Find somebody or throw it away. It's your job. Or you get fucked up. Don't blame me cause he thinks slow

Stop what. It's football. You release the ball or you get hit.

Ok. You guys are right. Holding the ball for five seconds had nothing to do with him getting hurt.

Okay so he got rid of the ball last week then got shoved down then got up for 2 seconds and proceeded to turn into a rag doll. That his fault too?

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 10:01 pm

Can't believe I have to say this but sometimes quarterbacks get sacked.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 10:12 pm

What are we disagreeing about again? Dolphins shouldnt have let him play and tua should have released the ball before the suplex. Not much to dispute there

Okay now which one of those two things are "controversial" and which one is just "a thing that always happens?"

Maybe I'm missing something...But what is your point? The point (as I see it) is the fact Tua should not have even been playing this week. That there is a concussion protocol that was easily sidestepped so that "an independent third party cleared him to return to the field."

He just had a concussion (or at least rocked his head hard enough to make him go to a knee so he can focus on the next play to call if you want to be a Dolphins' team doctor) 4 days ago not sure he's processing things quickly, that said, sometimes lines protect long enough for a play to develop downfield, but no one comes open and QBs get hit. That hit wasn't super clean but it wasn't some horrific hit either.

The deal for clubs is to rely on the docs answer. Nothing else you should do besides ensuring their independence from the club. And none of that has anything to do with the known hazards of a QB holding the ball.

Your angle resonates a bit more clearly now.

He wasn't blindsided because he was holding the ball. He was flipped over onto his back/head. That play 98% of the time the QB pops up. He had a concussion 4 days ago. A 2nd concussion (or even hitting his damn head) can f his brain forever. Had nothing to do with him "holding the ball" it had to do with him

1. re-entering the game Sunday
2. playing this game 4 days later.

This.

Also, (and to Rex's point) this could be:

Lamar Jackson
Joe Burrow
Josh Allen
(insert other hot young QB here)

...And their teams would've done the same thing.

And look, I'm a guy who watched literally every game of Ben's career so I know all about that holding the ball too long thing, but many times that turned into touchdowns, wins, and championships. Was he a big, dumb, rapey boob who took a fuckton of unnecessary hits? Absolutely. But he never did any of that shit because he was trying to lose.
