Early slate sucks. SF/MIN and IND/GB. Gross. 

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Wow. Prime Vision (which is simply a wide angle of the action) is so much better than normal broadcasts.

McDaniel and that Perm just getting outcoached

Tua having a nightmare performance

Yeah?  Seems to me that Tua is just sucking really hard. 

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

On the replay that hit didnt even seem bad. He really needs to retire, like, yesterday. 

[Tryptamine]

Tua with what might be concussion #12 at this point. 

[Derwood]

Tua concussed, so what was his excuse before the head injury?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Helping me cope today is looking back at Allen and Tagavailoa's rooke seasons.

Tagavailoa threw for exactly 93 yards in his rookie debut and went sub-100 three times in 10 starts as a rookie.

Allen went 6-for-15 for 74 yards in relief in his NFL debut, and went sub-100 twice more in 12 starts.

Watson went 12/23 for 102 in his first.  And then ... Oh darn, I just remembered, Never mind.

Someone in his family needs to get to Tua and convince him football is simply not worth the long-term medical issues.

Yeah, he's gonna have CTE symptoms by 30 at this rate.  Poor bastard.

[CubinNY]

Tua gonna be eating jello through a straw before he’s 50. He should retire like tomorrow.

Tua’s family wants him to keep on playing, at least after his two bad ones in 2022. They aren’t smart.

I thought his mom was trying to get him to retire.

The 17 others he's had leading up to last night.

Oh, didn’t know that. I thought I remembered his brother wanted him to keep playing. 

[Soul]

After this, I wouldn't want to be the person who urged him to continue playing only to watch him suffer CTE down the road.

It really sucks but I think he should hang it up.

Plus I'm pretty sure if you've had a series of concussions you are prone to more.  So this is unlikely to stop.

[PackLandVA]

Can't they just slap that bean bag chair on his helmet?

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm pretty stunned he dove head first on that play.

Imagine how bad Damar Hamlin feels about it, even though it was a clean tackle.

I can't for the life of me understand why so many QBs fail to utilize the feet first slide. Maybe competitive instincts take over? I don't know. Tua is a great dude and I really want to see him do what's best for his health at this point.

Fields does the head first all the time too. I feel like every football team should have their rookie QBs go have lunch with Jim McMahon, maybe a crazy conversation with him would change their attitudes
