One of these days Tua won’t be able to have the little intercom speaker in his helmet because the sound waves might cause a concussion.
It looked like a routine hit. It was a tough hit, but nothing out of the norm. It's crazy how player can get his head knocked off and no concussion and a routine hit and his brain is rung into a concussion. Though Tua should've had the wits knowing he had the 1st down and just slid

You don't have to hit your head to get a concussion. All you have to do is jar your brain. Think: hard tackle, body check, etc. As soon as he was hit, many on Tweeter (including me) knew right away he had no clue where he was. He really needs to think about his career.
It was announced today that he is out for the next game, no matter what, even though it's over a week away.

Looked like it wasn’t the impact with Hamlin but when he was turned around and went to the ground the back of his head slammed off the turf…again. I think that’s the third time he got a concussion from impacting the ground, I’ve never seen that many from one player. Seems like they should have gotten him one of those shouldler pad things that sticks up behind your head. I can remember guys wearing those in the 80s. And you would think if anyone should have been wearing those new goofy looking helmet pad hat things it would be him.
Let’s not forget that the more you have the easier it is to get another. Forget the career, he needs to think about his life.
Both excellent points. Concussions are very much a "Once you get one, the second is easier to get. Then if you've had two, the third is even easier, etc" situation. For his own health, I hope he gives serious consideration to an unfortunately early retirement.

I really respect the hell out of Brad Radke for calling it earlier than some thought he would. His shoulder had gotten to the point he could barely wash his hair, let alone pick up his kid. Your brain is hell of a lot more important than a shoulder.
I think he's had four in his football career (1 college, 3 NFL). He even took classes in the offseason in some sort of martial arts to learn how to fall better. Well, didn't quite work on this fall.
I feel sorry for the guy, but too many reasons to retire vs playing.

There have been 1800+ occurrences since 1950 of an NFL QB having 5+ starts vs. a single opponent (including playoffs). The only QB over that time frame to have an .850+ W% and account for 3+ touchdowns per game vs. any opponent is Josh Allen against the Dolphins. That’s it.

Baltimore playing at home scored a TD with 12 minutes left to go up 23-13 on the Gardner Minshew let Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders win 26-23 with three scoring drives in a row (FG, TD, FG) gaining 157 yards on 22 plays over the three drives.
Did safety Kyle Hamilton get torched in the middle of the field like he did by Travis Kelce (11 catches, 116 yards, 1 TD in the AFC Championship game last season?
The Raiders rookie TE Brock Bowers had 9 catches for 98 yards.
The Panthers are so bad. I think I saw that in their previous 9 games (before today) they scored a grand total of 28 first half points. They scored 0 first half points today, and 3 points total.

Kickers are 33 of 37 on 50+ yard FGs this season. That is REALLY impressive!!!
It might be time to make field goals more difficult.
Defensives get stops at their 40 yard line and then kickers make 58 yard field goals look routine.
With the new touch back rule on kickoffs where you get it at the 30 yard line offenses only need to move the ball 30 yards.
I wonder if the league at some point in the near future might look at making the cross bar higher and/or making the up rights closer together. The goal posts have been changed before.
Put a big bullseye in the end zone. Three colors. Bullseye = 3 pts, second ring = 2 points, outer ring = 1 pt. For XPs, kick from the 35ish (open to discussion) and have it work the same way.

I like when somebody is on their own 53 yard line. 🤨 20 yard end zones with the goals posts at the back line of the end zone would certainly make field goals more difficult. The Canadians maybe on to something with large end zones. 🤔 😀
If Houston kicker Fairbairn keeps hitting 50+ yard FGs I might pull out a Fantasy Football game. Somebody dropped him earlier this week so I picked him up. I need to become assistant to Kwessi for player pick ups. 😉
Hopefully when I apply for the position Kwessi doesn't find out last year I dropped the Miami kicker Sanders, my playoff opponent picked him up, and eliminated me because Sanders kicked 5 FGs including three 50+ yard FGs.
Captain Clutch leads Atlanta on a 6 play, 70 yard TD drive in 1 minute and 5 seconds throwing the game winning TD with 34 seconds left to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia 22-21
The Dallas kicker just made a 65 yard FG in the 1st quarter.
It is one thing to try a really long FG at the end of the 1st or 2nd half when you aren't worried about giving up great field position to the other team. If he would have missed it Baltimore would have started with the ball at the Cowboy 45 yard line (where the ball was held for the kick)
The fact that he got this opportunity at this time in the game is a clear indicator that even a 65 yard FG is like no worries we expect him to make it. 😲 #ItsJustRoutine
Dallas' plan: lose enough games due to a crappy defense, so we can promote our D-Coordinator (Zimmer) to head coach, because he and Jerry Jones are buddy-buddy. What could go wrong?

ATL should be, and is, 1-2. They should have lost last week, but PHI screwed the pooch so hard the ASPCA should have been called. This week? Some key ref's non-calls screwed them: no face mask, no DPI.
It's gonna be a weird season.

Well, that Bills game was yawn-inducing, in a good way. 😉 Seems like everyone is going to get a catch every week. The number of receivers who caught a pass in the last 3 weeks: 9, 6, 10.
That's much different than in past years.

Josh Allen is the first QB in NFL history to... complete 75% of his passes, throw for 4+ TDs, have no turnovers, take no sacks, lead his team in rushing yards ...all in the same game.
