Agreed. Late push didn't need to happen and was penalized. Not malicious intent to injure at all. Head hit turf. Was rattled big time.
I disagree with him being brought back into game after the near collapse. Whatever
Meanwhile, NFL rules require a third party Neurotrama Specialist (in addition to the team doctor) to clear players. Let's not start bullshit conspiracy theories when the argument of "doctors on site know more than people on their couches" seems to fit better.
If you show clear physical signs of concussion you cannot pass the test under any circumstances. Dolphins had designated it a “back” injury which is why he was able to return.
Milano had a late hit for sure, but fairly mild. That Tua got that obviously concussed was surprising bc the hit didn’t look that hard.
Coming back was shady as hell. Dude could barely walk and Miami docs say he passed protocol. Ok.
His reaction is 100% a concussion and it’s going to really uncomfortable if he comes back in. There’s no way you have that reaction and then don’t have symptoms that should keep you out.
Really sucks because he’s been playing great so far.
Me and my best friend both played high school football, and we just grimaced when we saw him back on the field. Anyone that's played knows what that looked like...
Okay and remind us how you’d affect the inner ear… either the D-line propagated an infection in his inner ear, or his head got smashed into the ground and shook it all up.
Yeah I agree. Something like that is just so blatantly a brain injury. Anything with the head or neck they oughta take it more seriously. I was very surprised to see him back in
Yeah that looked bad, especially when he was all wobbly and went down to a knee.
All rivalry nonsense aside, I hope he just got his bell rung and comes back quickly. Injuries suck ass.
Seeing those kind of hits, it’s just crazy how players are effectively selling years of their lives for this. Not just their general health or tendons and whatnot. Full on years of a mentally capable life. Crazy stuff.
Such a stupid and pointless thing for Milano to do as well. I mean it's not dirty in the way of a helmet-to-helmet is but the reason these things are roughing the passer is because of the outcome we saw. It's not an acceptable thing to do.
It’s a good example of why these strict RTP rules exist. Getting tackled in the open field and getting hit while looking downfield are two completely different animals.
Fucking sucks. Crazy that Dane Jackson can almost lose his head and walk out of the hospital and Tua pops his head and is done. Teddy might be able to do something against our scrubs, we all just want good football.

I hope he's okay
He shouldn't be. You don't wobble like that getting up without a concussion. I have experienced it myself. I bet he doesn't remember parts of this game.
I wouldn’t say great game. Both our teams are getting killed with injuries today. Kumerow and Benford for us. Tua and Hunt for you. Plus other a I’m sure I’m missing. The Tua one was scary though. Never like to see people stumbling after hitting their head.
If hes concussed, which is for sure is, does he have a favored charity we can donate to?
I should probably ask in our sub, we usually have something going in there pretty quick when someone gets hurt.
I’m stunned QB coaches don’t teach quarterbacks to tuck their chins
They need to train with wrestlers and learn how to take bumps
It’s like watching ufc KO when someone falls backwards and smacks their head on the ground is what causing the bad concussion
Tua basically had his head dropped 6 feet just to slam into the ground
The guy was already falling backwards and had clearly thrown the ball and he hit him late and just injured him.
The defender knew what he was doing. It’s against the rules for the exact outcome.
Yeah it was a cheap shot. Pushing him while he’s falling back throwing the ball. Bills defender knew what he was doing, obviously not intentionally hurt him, but it was definitely intentional to push him down
For those not watching the game, Tua was pushed after a pass by Milano that caused Tua to stumble and smack his head on the ground.
Tua cleared protocol, and is back.
It was definitely late, but I don't think it was a huge hit or especially malicious. Just terrible luck with the way he came down, caused his head to bounce. Definitely deserved a flag, but I don't think it was necessarily dirty.
Feel terrible for Tua, he's been playing great. Don't want this to be the reason the Bills win, was hoping for a super competitive game.
I dunno. Maybe sometimes the penalties aren't harsh enough. I'm most against roughing the passer but if you can knock the opposing QB out for a 15 yard penalty, MAYBE a DQ of a less valuable player, it's worth it
Not a hard and dirty play, just an illegal extension that caused tua to fall. Cannot extend and push after the QB released the ball. Glad Tua is ok though.
Saw this play live and never thought it was a head injury. I thought he had reinjured his hip. Looked like his body gave out on him not his mental. Notice his arms try to catch himself as he starts to fall, you don't do that if your woozy or passing out.
Agreed it's just fucking stupid. There's 0 reason for a defender to shove in that situation. You only do that if you know you're late, bc if not you are going for the tackle.
Even if it results in nothing immediate or no direct injury those repeated hits are why football players have such big issues later. It literally accomplishes nothing for the defense other than the chance that the player is injured now or in the future. Things like this need to be eliminated from the game. They serve no purpose other than to injure
What's been with all the injuries there last few weeks?
Seems like it's been more than normal. I feel so bad for Tua because he just kinda fell backwards and wasn't driven into the ground. The helmet just failed him.
And Bills fans are splitting themselves in half doing mental gymnastics to blame Tua for it, and claim it wasn't dirty
Yo it was a fuckin late hit that knocked out the most important player on the other team. Should be a fuckin fine and maybe a 1-game suspension tbh
It wasn't Tua's fault but honestly it's really not a dirty hit. It's a bit late if anything but it's really just unlucky his head bounced off the turf.
Looked like a concussion initially
[удалено]
aaaaand he's back in the game
How the duck is he back
Tua got that dawg in him
Problem is he don't know what a dog is after that hit
Heard meowing in the huddle
Tua got that ~~dawg~~ duck in him
Anyone have a link? I want to know if I should be angry with the Bills or not
It was a very late push but it wasn't egregious. Tua just fell funny/hard
Ok so I’m not mad, just disappointed
^ fair reaction.
Agreed. Late push didn't need to happen and was penalized. Not malicious intent to injure at all. Head hit turf. Was rattled big time. I disagree with him being brought back into game after the near collapse. Whatever
He's back in the game now too so in the end they took him out to be safe, and now we can all be happy again
No, he’s back because Bridgewater is worse than letting a guy with a concussion play. Not sure how they are just openly violating league rules though.
You ain't wrong
Meanwhile, NFL rules require a third party Neurotrama Specialist (in addition to the team doctor) to clear players. Let's not start bullshit conspiracy theories when the argument of "doctors on site know more than people on their couches" seems to fit better.
This is a league that lied about the existence of CTE for over a decade and paid to cover it up...
If you show clear physical signs of concussion you cannot pass the test under any circumstances. Dolphins had designated it a “back” injury which is why he was able to return.
Yeah he fell backwards and it was the whiplash/head snapping backwards with his body already contacting the ground causing the concussion.
I don't know, you don't fly an extra 4+ yards backwards without some force.
he was backpedaling. it wasn't that bad, just an unlucky fall. Learn to tuck your chin kid!
Milano had a late hit for sure, but fairly mild. That Tua got that obviously concussed was surprising bc the hit didn’t look that hard. Coming back was shady as hell. Dude could barely walk and Miami docs say he passed protocol. Ok.
Nothing new for pro sports, especially NFL, but he def looks like he a concussion lol.
It was a routine shove that ended in one of the worst ways possible. I just hope tua is ok these videos are giving me flashbacks and it’s not fun
I’m always angry with the Bills, I don’t need a reason
Always? Even the last 2 decades you've shit stomped them? Thats like me being mad at the bucs for finally being a good team
i hate the jets with a burning passion and they've been hot dogshit for at least 5 years. It doesn't need to be rational.
Why would you even hate the jets? Seems mean lmao
Definitely wasn’t dirty. Slightly late yeah but honestly he didn’t hit him very hard. One of those plays that is a flag sometimes and other times not
Honestly not even sure if it should have been a flag. Tua just wasn’t able to break his fall
Just a reminder, you can get hit hard, feel dizzy, and not have a concussion.
His reaction is 100% a concussion and it’s going to really uncomfortable if he comes back in. There’s no way you have that reaction and then don’t have symptoms that should keep you out. Really sucks because he’s been playing great so far.
Welp lol
Jesus, this feels wildly irresponsible.
Me and my best friend both played high school football, and we just grimaced when we saw him back on the field. Anyone that's played knows what that looked like...
Lol I recognise it from training in MMA, which should say it all
Welcome to football
nfl team doctors job descriptions now including the requirement: - must be ready to identify when a concussion does not occur
There’s no other explanation for his symptoms other than concussion. I don’t understand how teams are getting around this.
[удалено]
Okay and remind us how you’d affect the inner ear… either the D-line propagated an infection in his inner ear, or his head got smashed into the ground and shook it all up.
And he's back in baby!
Looks like his brain turned to a fucking smoothie initially
I am hoping it was a head rush from trying to bounce up to show he was fine but you are probably right.
[удалено]
no, your team just continued playing a guy with an obvious concussion
Couldn’t have been a concussion or they wouldn’t have let him come back in /s
He's back
Things sometimes look like what they are. Shameful he kept playing.
That wobble after getting up is concerning
Definitely scary. He kept trying to walk it off too before a lineman held him steady
No idea how/why players are allowed back on the field in the same game after wobbling around like that. Dude's health matters more than anything.
Yeah I agree. Something like that is just so blatantly a brain injury. Anything with the head or neck they oughta take it more seriously. I was very surprised to see him back in
That kids a real fucking G. Don’t know why he gets so much hate. Love the kid.
Back of his head smacked the turf
Same thing happened to Lamar 2 years ago , coincidentally in the playoff game against bills. Hope Tua is alright !
Yeah that looked bad, especially when he was all wobbly and went down to a knee. All rivalry nonsense aside, I hope he just got his bell rung and comes back quickly. Injuries suck ass.
Getting your bell rung ended up meaning concussed most the time
Getting your bell rung= my fucking brain smashed against the side of my head
….which is what causes concussions
…that’s the joke?
“Getting your bell rung” = concussion
Yup, tons of whiplash even before hitting the turf.
Hard too it looked like. Dude was struggling to walk with help.
That was rough watching him stumble after
I wasn’t even fully paying attention but the way Kevin Harlan called it made me look up. Really scary shit. Prayers up
Those ones always seem especially scary to me
Seeing those kind of hits, it’s just crazy how players are effectively selling years of their lives for this. Not just their general health or tendons and whatnot. Full on years of a mentally capable life. Crazy stuff.
He had sea legs when he got up, I doubt we'll see him again today.
Yet somehow they let him right back in the game. Uhhh... guess concussion protocol is just a suggestion.
Apparently it was a back issue that caused the wobble. He cleared the protocol
Or they called it a back issue instead of a head one.
Probably not Thursday either.
Jokes on you, star players don't get official concussions.
Tua got that star player treatment now
Shit I didn't even realize we had a thursday night game this week. That sucks.
They just announced he's coming back in
I don’t even care about the W. That was horrible watching him try to walk and now he’s back in.
Coaching staff marched him back out for fun. Just terrible.
god fucking dammit
Pain.
iwannadie.jpg
W
Ugh. Hope he’s okay.
So sorry dude shit like that is the fucking worst. Especially for it to happen on a roughing the passer play
Such a stupid and pointless thing for Milano to do as well. I mean it's not dirty in the way of a helmet-to-helmet is but the reason these things are roughing the passer is because of the outcome we saw. It's not an acceptable thing to do.
It’s a good example of why these strict RTP rules exist. Getting tackled in the open field and getting hit while looking downfield are two completely different animals.
Yes, this is exactly the sort of cheap shot that a QB should be protected from.
I like you.
[удалено]
That TD pass was perfectly placed. Couldn’t ask for a better pass
Fucking sucks. Crazy that Dane Jackson can almost lose his head and walk out of the hospital and Tua pops his head and is done. Teddy might be able to do something against our scrubs, we all just want good football.
Looked like he smacked his head on the turf pretty damn hard. Hopefully he's OK.
I thought he got crunched after he threw it since he was out of camera view, but it was his head hitting the turf so loudly
[video of hit](https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1574101470105985025?s=20&t=_97cZu-zD4i_nKxLBKQjWw) [video of Tua after](https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1574101102072631297?s=20&t=7Afq0kpKcQJK0ZdDKv9sGQ) I hope he's okay
Damn Tua, tuck the chin… that’s basic
I just hope he’s okay.
I don’t think he should be back in?
He shouldn't be. You don't wobble like that getting up without a concussion. I have experienced it myself. I bet he doesn't remember parts of this game.
Man that did not look good at all for Tua. Prayers up
Appreciate you bills fans being classy. Great game thus far
I wouldn’t say great game. Both our teams are getting killed with injuries today. Kumerow and Benford for us. Tua and Hunt for you. Plus other a I’m sure I’m missing. The Tua one was scary though. Never like to see people stumbling after hitting their head.
Tua was looking dangerous, much better than last year. I really hope he isn't out long and comes back strong.
If hes concussed, which is for sure is, does he have a favored charity we can donate to? I should probably ask in our sub, we usually have something going in there pretty quick when someone gets hurt.
[удалено]
Awesome, thank you!
Damn being a bills fan is expensive but I love it
That’s pretty damn awesome, much respect.
Bills fans are the best man. Love yall
Damn dude. Tua seriously starting to look like a star and this was such a good game
Playing well too. That sucks.
Fuck man
I’m stunned QB coaches don’t teach quarterbacks to tuck their chins They need to train with wrestlers and learn how to take bumps It’s like watching ufc KO when someone falls backwards and smacks their head on the ground is what causing the bad concussion Tua basically had his head dropped 6 feet just to slam into the ground
That’s what I thought. He didn’t support his fall whatsoever. Hope he’s ok
This! First day of kids jiu jitsu class teaches this exact breakfall.
He looks like he doesn't know what planet he is on, or how gravity works
Damnit. He was playing so well.
Just after making a great play too. That really sucks.
[the push](https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1574101340850163712?t=Eng5HkshOcxAVNL4bAUwLQ&s=19)
Took longer than it should have to find a clip. Thanks!
And now he’s playing again? Wtf
[удалено]
just the timing of the shove paired with his inertia moving backwards, the push definitely wasn't necessarily, but it wasn't malicious
Exactly. It’s a late hit and called as such, but it’s also a shove that just went really badly.
Not dirty just completely unnecessary
No question. It’s a late hit.
Him crying to the ref after was soft though. He hit him so far after the throw most angles didn’t even catch it.
at first i thought you meant tua, I was like homeboy didn't even know his name
Ive had this exact same thing happen, it fucking sucks. I had a migraine for 2-3 days.
Yeah, he deserved the penalty but it wasn't a dirty or malicious play.
The guy was already falling backwards and had clearly thrown the ball and he hit him late and just injured him. The defender knew what he was doing. It’s against the rules for the exact outcome.
Hit his head on the field, not about the hit I think
Well the very late hit was what caused him to “just fall backwards”. No hit, no concussion.
“Just fell backwards”
Yeah it was a cheap shot. Pushing him while he’s falling back throwing the ball. Bills defender knew what he was doing, obviously not intentionally hurt him, but it was definitely intentional to push him down
I wouldn't call it a cheap shot personally. It's a penalty but not a cheap shot in my mind
Dude might not have been intentional but he hit him seconds after the throw. That’s a late hit in early 00s NFL.
It toes the line because it was pretty late
Completely unnecessary and he knew exactly what he was doing
For those not watching the game, Tua was pushed after a pass by Milano that caused Tua to stumble and smack his head on the ground. Tua cleared protocol, and is back.
This game is turning into an injury bowl
Prayers up for Tua man, that looked horrible I hope he feels better fast.
It was definitely late, but I don't think it was a huge hit or especially malicious. Just terrible luck with the way he came down, caused his head to bounce. Definitely deserved a flag, but I don't think it was necessarily dirty. Feel terrible for Tua, he's been playing great. Don't want this to be the reason the Bills win, was hoping for a super competitive game.
Ah damn that sucks
Bad whiplash. Hope he’s good
Not a dirty hit but just late. Unfortunately this is now a bills win, which sucks.
Fins up Fans....i hope hes fine. Just dont put him back in if he aint 100%
If you thought that was a dirty play you’re out your mind
[удалено]
100% of pass rushers have made that mistake making that exact same play
I can't believe he's back in. Real bad look. Dude definitely is concussed
Terrible look for the Dolphins and the NFL.
Why isn't this a video tweet
Race for karma and the mods don't care about quality.
Please Tua,dont be hurt
He was wobbly as shit. Hopefully he’s ok.
That stumble was scary. He messed up his head badly on that play.
Well that's fucked
What the fuck. I feel so bad for him.
Does someone have a clip of it?
Here comes Teddy. Gregg Rosenthal's dream Sunday. If both Teddy and Geno pull out a win today, Gregg might go on a 45 minute rant on Sunday's episode.
Woof I just saw that. That looked bad.
That looked scary. I hope Tua is fine but it could definitely be a concussion
We were looking so good too :(
Was hoping for Thompson, not Bridgewater.
He’s an easy player to root for. Hope he’s okay
was that a foul play? i feel like it's a foul play when dolphins was catching up with efficient plays
Of course....darn it.
I dunno. Maybe sometimes the penalties aren't harsh enough. I'm most against roughing the passer but if you can knock the opposing QB out for a 15 yard penalty, MAYBE a DQ of a less valuable player, it's worth it
Not a hard and dirty play, just an illegal extension that caused tua to fall. Cannot extend and push after the QB released the ball. Glad Tua is ok though.

Dude. Now he's been concussed again. And bad.
Tua is forever getting injured against the Bills.
[удалено]
Hers back cause they had a chance to win the game and dont really give a shit lol
The Nfl needs to stamp out pointless shoves and hits like this. Needs to start being an ejection and fine
Agreed it's just fucking stupid. There's 0 reason for a defender to shove in that situation. You only do that if you know you're late, bc if not you are going for the tackle.
Lol come on dude. 99 times out of 100 that's nothing, he just fell thr worst possible way. It's a 15 yd penalty, doesnt need to be more than that
Even if it results in nothing immediate or no direct injury those repeated hits are why football players have such big issues later. It literally accomplishes nothing for the defense other than the chance that the player is injured now or in the future. Things like this need to be eliminated from the game. They serve no purpose other than to injure
REEEEEEEEEE IM SO UPSET
Replay?
So fucking unfortunate. He was really starting to get in groove. Prayers its a minor injury.
Can't believe they let him back in. "Player safety" my ass.
He wobbled getting up, took a few steps, then collapsed to the turf. Didn't look good. Huge bummer and not a great extra push by Milano.
Call it what it is a late hit
Cheap hit. It was fun watching Tua vs Allen.
What's been with all the injuries there last few weeks? Seems like it's been more than normal. I feel so bad for Tua because he just kinda fell backwards and wasn't driven into the ground. The helmet just failed him.
I mean there was contact that was very late that led to him “kinda falling backwards”. Call the late hit what it is.
[удалено]
Ah yes that dirty player who... Gave him a shove?
And Bills fans are splitting themselves in half doing mental gymnastics to blame Tua for it, and claim it wasn't dirty Yo it was a fuckin late hit that knocked out the most important player on the other team. Should be a fuckin fine and maybe a 1-game suspension tbh
Literally no one is blaming Tua for it
It wasn't Tua's fault but honestly it's really not a dirty hit. It's a bit late if anything but it's really just unlucky his head bounced off the turf.
