Horrible looking injury to Tua. Looks neurological…coming off of last weeks strange one, someone is going to have some explaining to do.

Yea this is going to blow up… there were questions about him last week and he’s playing again 4 days later.  Now this.

That fingers all contorted view you saw is called posturing. A serious indicator of a traumatic brain injury. After Sunday and him coming back so soon, the NFL deserves all the shit they are about to take.

Caring about players/concussions ? My ass. 🖕🖕

A lot of MD’s/Trauma specialists weighing in with posts/ tweets like:

This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022

This is the most awful post ever.

What an indictment of greed.

Wow. Just wow.

I think it’s fair to ask… what role does the athlete himself play in this mess?  Medical testing and protocol can only go so far I’d imagine. Certainly the doctors also have to rely on the athlete/patient being honest about lingering symptoms as well.

That said, the league and system must be set up to protect the athlete from himself, which clearly failed.

Tua's injury aside, the Bungles and the Fins remind me of young boxers with strong punching power. They don't have a lot of experience, but if they connect with a punch, it can put their opponents on the ropes.
The Bungles finally put enough combinations together at the end to get the KO.

True. Tua had to know if he was concussed Sunday if that was the case. I'm trying to read back injury into the way he was stumbling around and I just can't see it.

If Joe Six Pack in the upper deck can see the guy is concussed then his team failed him by ignoring the obvious.

It was a toss up for me last night to watch this game or the Brewers. There was no correct choice. I should have skipped both.

Exactly.  That's the reason they developed objective concussion protocols so that those biases could be removed as much as possible.  Cognitive functioning AND judgment can be disrupted by concussions.  He was let down by his team in the worst possible way.
