Good game this week. Miami travels to Cincinnati in an fairly important game this early in the season, especially for the Bengals. Check out Cinci's uniforms.
Cincy will win IMO. Miami has a tough turnaround after a brutal game.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Bengals Dolphins game is huge concerning the AFC Playoff chase down the road. Every AFC game feels Like a playoff game now. Game could be a shootout. This game features the fastest WRs in the NFL With Chase, Waddle and Hill.
I think Tua is certainly overrated, but I think Miami’s WRs are dynamite. And their defense pretty solid as well.
They can’t run the ball at all, however

I think I like the Miami defense more than I like the way the Bengals offense is playing at the moment. The Bengals OL has struggled and I can see Burrows being hit and hurried all day unless they recapture their 2021 form very quickly. Both teams have a WR core the Browns would love to have - Mixon is very very good, a top 6 RB in the NFL. But if the game is played in such a way as Tua doesn't have to do too much - I think they win.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
I think that hurricane down that way might affect the Dolphins Flight schedule and they may not have enough time To practice or do a simple walk through before the game

I read that they are travelling early to avoid such potential issues.
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.
Tigers can be white, but they're generally not actual albinos. They're mostly inbred Bengal tigers that have a rare genetic mutation and frequently have a host of health problems from all the inbreeding.

Hate to say it, but I like the black and white stripes. Kind of badass.
They may not look like world beaters on gameday, but Miami is 3-0 against the Bills, Ravens, and Pats. That alone should tell you all they are a good team. Cincy will have all it can handle Sunday.

Miami flew to Cincinnati this morning around 8am due to the hurricane. They will not have gotten in a practice this week before the game. Makes sense why Cincy is -4.
Miami is at a disadvantage. Also, coming off an emotionally draining game.

Good point. Also, consider this:
Buffalo ran 90 plays to Miami's 39 during that game. The Time of Possession favored the Bills to the tune of 40:40 vs 19:20. The Bills had 497 yards of offense. It was hot and humid. The Dolphin defense had to be gassed and are now playing under the circumstances you brought up.
man i hope Tua will be ok. that was a very scary situation to see him in. hope he doesn't suffer long term brain damage after that sack.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
That's scary as hell. Head was moving forward from the initial impact of the wrap... that change of direction when being whipped backwards accelerated the impact. Let's hope there's some good news in the immediate future. Tip of the cap to the Bengals fans chanting his name as they wheeled him off, I was a little taken back when no Bengals players went on the field.
(The rest is at the link, but this is an important part)
The Dolphins quickly ruled Tagovailoa out with what they classified as head and neck injuries. The team also said he was conscious and had movement in all his extremities. Per Amazon's broadcast, Tagovailoa was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. NFL Media reported Tagovailoa was transported there via ambulance.

Prayers for Tua. We all assume he had a concussion Sunday … and obviously should never have been playing if that’s the case.
It was kind of a “blah’ game with the outcome what I expected. Cincy will continue to round into shape … they have too many weapons

The NFL now has a mess on their hands for not stepping in throwing the BS flag on the Dolphins for claiming Tua did not suffer a concussion 4 days ago against the Bills. The Dolphins medical staff claimed Tua suffered a back injury against the Bills and after examining Tua in the locker room the Dolphins medical staff cleared Tua to go back in the Bills game...claiming Tua passed their concussion protocol testing
As one doctor commented on twitter after the hit Tua took against the Bills..notice that Tua did not grab his back after that hit, but he did grab his head..!
The Dolphins and the NFL failed to do their part to protect Tua preferring to go through the motions, while pretending that they care about concussions/head injuries.
....AND NFL HELMETS STILL SUCK..when it comes to protecting players from head injuries.

Glad to hear the positive report later on, but I have to comment on this post.
Bro, seeing Tua laying on the turf w/his hands looking the way they did was very upsetting. You never, ever want to see a player endure something like that. It made me sick to my stomach w/worry for that young man. He's also a very good dude that has taken a lot of crap while handling it w/class.
Really bad concussions for Tua in back-to-back weeks. Oh wait, the said him stumbling/staggering around the field was a "back" issue last week.
Tua probably should not have even playing tonight. Hope he is ok.
Agreed. After what I saw last week, there was no way I thought he should have played this week. I've never seen a "back injury" look like that. It will be interesting to see what happens w/the NFLPA's investigation.
Also, there are people who blame coaches for playing a guy w/injuries, but the NFL supposedly took them out of the decision making process and put it in the hands of the medical staff. What good is the policy if your medical staff isn't going to be honest? Miami's current ownership/organization has a history of being shady and corrupt.
His hands and fingers positions after his head hit the ground indicate a neurological injury. He was out. Hopefully he’s alright.
Yeah when I saw his fingers I was hoping that it was a cramp. Now there were rumors prior to the game about questionable handling of concussion protocol regarding Tua from last week. They are in big trouble if he has major repercussion from this. It didn't look to be anything major. I know we player there every season but is that turf put on ground or is it put on Cement??? Definitely looked like a SECOND HIT situation as in the kid had a concussion going into the game. Prayers out to him...watch over him Lord.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off! Go Browns! CHRIST HAS RISEN! GM Strong! & Stay safe everyone!
Dolphin organization needs to be punished severely. Tua was rocked 4 days earlier with a hit that left him with a loss of balance, staggered, unable to stand and walk. I can't believe there's a time frame with the concussion protocol....meaning if the player no longer has the symptoms several minutes after the incident, that they don't count. It was there for everyone to see. Passing a spot check in the tent doesn't negate that.

This.
And the NFL is culpable too - they have the same tape. As I understand it they have their "independent" staff on hand to verify if the player has suffered a concussion at the games. Just a bad look all round for the NFL. Hoping Tua is 100% healthy and back to normal very soon - and the both he and the NFL are lucky it wasn't worse.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
I have a few thoughts on this topic. One is helmets and the other is surface.
Helmets can be improved. You see them at practice. It is up to the NFL to come up with a design that is safer and aesthetically pleasing.
Surface: This is where injury happens. More concussions occur when heads hit turf than collisions. It is also the cause of leg joint damage.
Money is in turf. Sure they can use the fields for other events.
This is the NFL's problem - greed. They talk a good game and actually do very little.
Stadiums should be grass. Or, make a better surface that has give.
Tua was concussed last week. Their staff had to go through the protocol. If not the team should be sued. However, that is not going to fix the problem.
