Fins face a short week on the road .
Tua and the medical personnel are saying that he has a back injury. I know firsthand that a back injury can effect movement. It was very painful I am sure but he was able to play through it. He had his back wrapped at the press conference. I am hoping that it doesn't linger. With all due respect to Bridgewater they are a lot better with Tua. He had the game winning drive which included a deep throw to Waddle. He's a tough guy.NFLPA has told the NFL that it wants to initiate a review of the concussion protocols in light of Tua Tagovailoa’s return to today’s game in Miami, per source.

If Tua can't go on Thu it will be tough sledding. Who knows what happened but Tua coming back showed that he can fight through injuries.Tua and the medical personnel are saying that he has a back injury.

I get the feeling , at minimum, the league will say the protocols were not adequately followed in this situation. What they will do beyond that —- we will see .I would rest Tua next game even if it means a loss. It's a long season. It looked like Tua experienced a concussion. A back injury needs rest also. The next game is less than a week away. Bridgewater has won games before although he has yet to look impressive. He may play better with more practice time. Thompson looked great but they may choose to wait until next year for him to play unless Bridgewater gets injured.
FYI The Fins could get fined 150k and have to attend training on concussions if it is determined that they broke the concussion protocol.
How? There is an independent neurologist who makes the final call if he said Tua was not concussed then that's what it is. If he was wrong hos is that the Fins fault?I get the feeling , at minimum, the league will say the protocols were not adequately followed in this situation.

I’d be more on board with it if we were facing an NFC opponent so our conference record wouldn’t be affected.Not a terrible idea.
You could have the punter tuck the ball under his shirt and walk through the linebackers to get to the endzone?Per Paolo - He calls plays based on trying to make the team look tough rather than smart
Again, Paolo doesn't disappoint. How do you call plays to make team look tough??
Terrible idea. If Tua is ready, play him.Not a terrible idea.
Haven't seen that one, butt saw when the coach called the play for the punter to have him kick the ball a players butt. That was certainly making the team look tough !!You could have the punter tuck the ball under his shirt and walk through the linebackers to get to the endzone?
Bet you haven't seen that lately!
I think the safety actually helped the Fins. Morstead nailed the next punt and ultimately the Bills ran out of time.Haven't seen that one, butt saw when the coach called the play for the punter to have him kick the ball a players butt. That was certainly making the team look tough !!
