ATL - 2025 NFL Playoffs

If a hit like that can get ya I don't know why you'd continue playing the sport. Feel for him.

[Mags FTW]

No organization in good conscience can put him back out there.

[ReasonablySober]

It's officially a concussion. He's got to retire.

[BUCKnation]

That was like seeing an older boxer/mma fighter who lost his chin. Shouldn’t be getting knocked out in that fashion from that type of hit.

[RRyder823]

So if he were to get forced into retirement. Just how boned is Miami?

Could they even take the accelerated cap hit?

Game time decision Achane with career high touches in a blowout. I don't know what to say...

[Mags FTW]

Not an Al Michaels game without a gambling reference.

[humanrefutation]

Yeah, Tua should retire. But he won't. And the Dolphins won't push him to because of the cap hit they'd take.

[Isocleas2]

Too much money at stake for people to do what's right/logical with Tua. He'll keep playing and be an alzheimers patient by age 35, hopefully he doesn't go out like Junior Seau.

However, there was another significant NFL rule change that came into play on Sunday, though you might have missed it: The NFL’s expanded “replay assist” rule.

It came up in the Broncos-Seahawks game in Seattle. Here was the situation: In the fourth quarter, with Seattle up 26-13, Dre’Mont Jones and Leonard Williams hit Broncos quarterback Bo Nix on an incomplete pass. The officials threw a flag for roughing the passer on Jones, turning what would’ve been second-and-10 at Denver’s 36 into a first-and-10 in Seahawks territory. However, after a 29-second delay, referee Brad Allen made this announcement: “After replay assist, there is no foul for (a hit to) the head and neck area.”

The “replay assist” rule has been in place for several years. However, this season, the NFL has expanded its capabilities to include reviews of roughing the passer, late hits out of bounds, and intentional grounding penalties. These penalties can be advised for overturn on “specific, objective aspects of a play when clear and obvious video evidence is present,” the rule states.

Thanks to this new rule, a Seahawks penalty was overturned, and fans — specifically those in the Pacific Northwest — had one less complaint about the league’s officiating.

But, of course, you can’t make everyone happy in the NFL. I heard from a few coaches and general managers about unnecessary roughness calls involving quarterback scrambles, for which replay assist is not available. As we have seen, most of the quarterbacks in this league have the ability to move outside the pocket, scramble and slide. (I discovered that it’s now easier to list QBs that sit in the pocket than it is to lay out all the mobile ones.) In Tampa, we saw Commanders rookie QB Jayden Daniels involved in two plays on which it appeared he was hit in the head and/or neck when sliding. The UNR flag was thrown, but replays showed that the defenders actually missed Daniels, leapt over him, or got out of the way. We saw it happen three other times in Week 1, including in Buffalo when the Bills were flagged for UNR against Kyler Murray, and there was no contact at all. We will probably see it more this weekend. This could be an easy replay assist addition in the future considering the league’s explosion of mobile QBs.

Bryce Young is so unbelievable bad I can't help but feel sorry for him

[MickeyDavis]

Good half Cowboys

[MickeyDavis]

Aaron Jones so far. 7/25 fumble on the goal line

[ReasonablySober]

Wow, Lions lose at home to Tampa.

[humanrefutation]

Lions lose.

[humanrefutation]

Giants went into this game without a place kicker. Kind of amazing.

[ReginaldDwight]

WTF is Tampa bay doing.

[Iheartfootball]

Vikings winning these games is okay because the subsequent flameout will be fun. Then they’ll get a mid first round pick and stay in football purgatory.
