Yikes. Tua. That doesn't look good.

Hope he's ok. Dude has had some ugly head trauma in his early career.

He must already have CTE to go head first with his history. He definitely needs to retire for his own good.

Man. Tua's career has to be hanging by a thread. Like 5 conky in 3 years?

The funniest thing about Thompson is Michaels said he played OK in the playoff game, and then they flashed his line a minute later showing he went 18/45 which is definitely OK lol.

At this point the Bill's don't need to throw another pass and they'll win this game. Their offensive line and run game is really under rated. Getting rid of Diggs was good for them, the guys left will focus on winning and not what their stats look like.

Tua has to be done. Career wise at this point. He can't protect himself on the field so he better not step on it again. CTE territory.

If Tua does play again if nothing else he needs to put a guardian cap on.

In my wildest dreams couldn’t imagine this win. But yeah unfortunately Tua should probably hang it up.

Tua should probably just be done if this one is as serious as it looks.

Plus it's not like the defensive player even really hit him, for whatever reason Tua launched his own head into the defender and gave himself that concussion.

Take your $167M of guaranteed money and don't play another snap.

I would wait for a complete diagnosis before jumping to any conclusions. He went last season without a concussion and I remember when it looked bad for Crosby early in his career with four concussions and he managed to play a long time concussion free but clearly his best advice lies in the hands of the doctors as if they advise him to retire, he definitely should.

SCD is right. If he does come back he better wear a Guardian cap. And learn to protect himself.

He probably won’t do either one of those though.

Regarding Tua. The league would rather watch him become a vegetable as long as they could entertain people and make their money. Somebody in his family needs to step in and give him a hard talk. He will have enough money for him and his children and his children's children, doesn't need to keep mushing his brain

The Fins should bring Tannehill back. If Tua is out, Skylar Thompson is not getting the job done.

I seriously doubt Tannehill is gonna sign with anyone to be a short term stop gap. Coming in to start four games and go back to the bench likely has no appeal to him. Most likely he'll look at Flacco last year, bide his time until November and wait for a contender/fringe contender to lose their QB and sign there. I think that if he wanted to be a backup at the end of the season he would have signed already.

I forgot how grating Dak's "Yeaaaaah...here we gooooo" every play is. Then add on listening to Brady for 3 hours...this may be a boozing game.
