I came here specifically for this take

Let's roll back to 35-14...I am as shocked as anybody at what he pulled off in the 4th Q. I think his WRs had a lot to do with it, I re-watched the 4th and there are some questionable decisions but it worked out and nobody will remember the hand he played in Miami being down 28-7 and 35-14...

Bring on the Bills

@IvanKaramazov
@Steve Tasker
@GroveDiesel

And the rest of the Bills Mafia

We gotta deal with the Titans first.

Should be a fun game next week. Buffalo needs to get the defense healthy up front. I think next week Buffalo is going to badly miss Tre White.
 
Leggoooooooo

Bills S Micah Hyde (neck) and S Jordan Poyer (foot) are out for Week 3 against the Dolphins.​

Losing Hyde and Poyer -- along with CB Dane Jackson (neck) -- leaves the Buffalo secondary precariously thin as the Bills take on Miami's high-powered passing offense. Expect another pass-heavy approach for Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins against an injury-marred Buffalo coverage unit.

So it looks like Buffalo could be down like 6 defensive players today. Both pro-bowl safeties, two corners, and two pass rushing lineman. Saw it tweeted out that their starting secondary today will have only 3 games of NFL experience.

This game has shootout written all over it. Rolling Tua out with a decent amount of confidence today.
 

Tua Tagovailoa completed 13-of-18 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins' 21-19, Week 3 win over the Bills.​


With the Bills camping out with two high safeties, Tagovailoa's big plays dried up on Week 2, but he still managed to find Jaylen Waddle for a 45-yard completion on a critical 3rd-and-22 with 11:37 remaining. It advanced the Dolphins to the Bills' seven-yard line and set up what would prove to be the game-winning score. Heroic, though it was highly questionable Tagovailoa was in the game at all. He was visibly woozy after smashing his head on the turf in the second quarter, and the Dolphins announced him with a head injury. They then laundered through the national media that his back had supposedly stiffened up. It's a tough explanation to buy, but Tagovailoa appeared to be his normal self after the break. Passing every test so far with the Dolphins' gauntlet-like early-season schedule, Tagovailoa has a Week 4 road date with the Bengals.

Tua Tagovailoa said, "It felt like I hyperextended my back," when asked about the injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Bills.​

Tagovailoa said his injury occurred in the second quarter on a quarterback sneak, and that his back "kind of locked up" on the ensuing play, which led to him stumbling on the following play. The NFLPA is looking further into this matter after Tagovailoa initially left the field to be evaluated for a concussion after hitting his head on the turf only to return minutes later. The Dolphins have a short week ahead of them with the Bengals on tap for a Thursday night showdown.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa is not in concussion protocol.​

Tagovailoa's injury will be one of the most talked about injuries from Week 3, as many have drawn into question the Dolphins' decision to allow him to return to the field after he appeared woozy in the second quarter following a hit. Tagovailoa attributed his stumbling to a back injury that "locked up" on him, but that hasn't stopped the NFLPA from wanting to further investigate the matter. It's likely we'll learn more about the NFLPA's investigation throughout the week, but it sounds like the only concern for Tagovailoa is his back. McDaniel also noted that Tagovailoa is dealing with a sore ankle. He and the Dolphins are on a short week as they prepare for a Thursday night tilt with the Bengals.

It stands to reason that if they didn't diagnose hi with a concussion on Sunday, they can't really put him thru protocol during the week as it would admit guilt and they already have enough lawsuits and an owner under current Suspension from the NFL, the first of its kind.

And I believe the odds might be higher than some believe and he probably WILL NOT start on Thursday. Teddy is going to be running first team drills Tue and Wed and he'll start for Miami on Thursday so Tua can rest his back and ankle, cough cough. Skyler will be the back up and he might be called upon if Teddy looks as bad as he did on Sunday briefly before the end of the 1st Half.
 

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said QB Tua Tagovailoa (back/ankle) is questionable for Week 4 against the Bengals.​

"If this were an actual real practice in a normal week, Tua would be limited and he would be questionable for the game," McDaniel told reporters. "If he doesn't play, it was not possible." If Tagovailoa doesn't make it out, Teddy Bridgewater would be in line for the start against Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football. It sounds like the third-year quarterback is doing everything in his power to play, including calling McDaniel at 10:50 last night. McDaniel noted that he remained "optimistic" about Tagovailoa, so consider him on that side of questionable.

So was Tua's injury really his back? I finally watched some analysis of it and people think it looked more like a concussion. Is he really ready to play again 4 days later after a possible concussion?

Not sure how reputable this guy is but he does videos on sports injuries.

Clearly? Seems the league has doctors at these games to test for it...he passed tht. They also initiated an investigation and determined all protocols were followed. And now, he is showing no signs of a concussion or symptoms that would keep him from the field.
What are you expecting they do...say no, we still think you are concussed, you can't play?
 
How we feeling tonight my fellow TuAnon believers? Can't say I feel great about rolling him out there tonight, but still willing to play him over Brady this week.

Playing hurt on the road on a short week isn't ideal. The prospect of Waddle pulling up lame with the groin injury is a concern as well. This team must be spent after that war with Buffalo last week. That being said, I'm expecting Burrow to torch the Phins secondary so at least game script should be in his favor. Here's hoping for a shootout.

Miami's offense only scored 1 TD vs NE, the only healthy defense they played. Brady get Evans back... Tough call, I'd lean Brady.

As much as I like the Miami O right now, it seems like this is going to be one of those weeks where Brady goes ape-poop. In a good way. I expect Brady to put up big numbers wherever they end up playing.

Actually, the indications from what we saw on the field absolutely suggest a back injury. My concern is everyone was so worried about the potential of a concussion we ignored the consequences of not properly diagnosing a serious back injury.

I don't think you usually exhibit a fencing response from a back injury. Terrible look for the NFL here. They're going to catch a ton of **** for it and it is deserved.

It is very indicative of a spinal injury. Maybe I was being vague with my language, my bad, but the spine is part of the back.

His response last week appeared to be a concussion, but it could have been spinal. Tonight was all spine.
 
By coincidence, this week Ontario recognized Rowan’s law day, to remember a teen who died from having multiple concussions in a short time frame. This is so serious. Shame on the Dolphins.

Shame.

check out fencing response as it looks like what happened tonight. spinal or head, dude should not play for the rest of the year
 

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has confirmed Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 4 but insists he was not concussed in Week 3 against the Bills.​

Asked if he could say with 100 percent certainty that Tagovailoa was not concussed vs. Buffalo, McDaniel said yes. "I have absolutely zero patience for or ever would put a player in harm's way," McDaniel said. "That's not what I'm about at all and no outcome of a game would (influence me to be irresponsible with a player's health)." They are strong words from the rookie head coach, one we have certainly liked during his short time in Miami. Meanwhile, the NFLPA is vowing to press on with an investigation and has said it will pursue "every legal option." The most likely outcome could be that it is found Miami did nothing wrong, but that the league's concussion protocols must again be updated and modernized.

I guess, and that is apparently the accepted explanation now but that really didn't look like a fencing response. Maybe I need to watch the replay again.
 
Beyond disgusted by this situation. Lost all respect for the Dolphins leadership and Mike McDaniel. Please stop it with the denials. Everyone with two working eyes knows exactly what transpired over the last five days. FIVE days ago dude was shaking off cobb webs and tripping over himself in the immediate wake of having the back of his head slammed into the ground. And then tonight his hands stiffen into fossils when the back of his head hits the ground again. The ****ery is almost beyond belief. GTFO with the 'official' explanations. Player safety my ***.
 
Pats fan here (not that THAT matters right now)

**** dude... how did this happen? Is there one of us who didn't think "ehhhhh" when we heard "back" a few days ago, then again when we heard "active" tonight?

Step 1: I hope he's okay.

Step 2: people's careers need to end.... and not Tua's (though sadly I'm not sure that's avoidable right now)

**** . 👎🏼
