people like fezzik say fish tired from 90 plays on defense in heat and now short turn around. i dont like that angle, look at carlos alcaraz, he played all 5 setters 5 hrs a round, it doesnt matter. Fish are 3-0 and fired up. bengals offensive line is a joke, burrow holds it too long. the more steam the better

He never suffered a concussion, the issue is his back

You're really comparing football with tennis? How many times did Alcaraz get hit during his match? The Dolphins have played two emotionally and physically draining games back to back, and they just beat their biggest rivals, their defense being on the field in the heat and humidity for 90 plays, then having to travel and play a road game on Thursday makes this a terrible spot for them, the game also means more to the 1-2 Bengals than the 3-0 Dolphins, I laid 1.5 and with the line 4 I'm feeling good about my play. The only part of your post that makes sense is the Fins pass rush against a Bengals O-line that's still garbage, but if they can protect Burrow, this game should belong to Cincinnati

He isn't that bad, but MIA probably would be 0-3 had TB started all 3 games.

Tua Tagovailoa: Back injury impacts all aspects of playing quarterback
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's availability is a big question mark for Thursday night's game against the Bengals and he told reporters on Tuesday that he's doing everything he can to get "as close to 100 percent as possible" ahead of the game.

The doctors that check players for concussions aren't employed by the team, they're employed by the league, these doctors are independent and won't allow a player back in the game because of any pressure from the team, they decide what's best for the athlete, and Tua only missed I think one series before coming back in, if he was concussed I highly doubt he would have been able to pass the protocols that fast, and the doctors who cleared him wouldn't have had they thought he was concussed. During his post game press conference you could see his back was heavily wrapped, it isn't Tua's decision whether he plays, it's up to the doctors, if Tua was concussed and lied to the doctors, they would be able to detect he was lying and wouldn't have allowed him back in the game, maybe several years ago, but not in today's NFL

Okay, so you think Tua was concussed but lied to the doctors, and the doctors couldn't figure out he was lying. Do you really think those doctors can't tell when an athlete is concussed? Are you really dumb enough to think that Tua lied and fooled the doctors? I'll go out on a limb and say doctors know when an athlete is concussed, if not by looking at them then by administering tests, had Tua failed those tests he would have been ruled out, the fact that he came back into the game tells you he passed the concussion tests, that's how it works

Tua talks about getting treatment for his back and ankle, but he says it's mostly his back, exactly what I've been saying

thats a fake narrative is what everybody is saying, he has to stick to that story at this point

Big business cheats and lies...all the time. People, teams, and organizations do what they can to grab any edge they can get...get over it.
Kane, you're too intelligent to get this worked up about what amounts to just another nothing burger.

Actually, the immediate concussion tests are just a rough test of impairment/injury. Certainly not anywhere near 100% accurate.
Signs and symptoms of a concussion may not appear until hours or days after the injury.
In a game that the Bills outgained the Dolphins 497 to 212 Yards, owned time of possession 40:40 to 19:20 and ran 90 plays to the Dolphins 39 (the biggest differential in a loss in 20 years) Heims take away from the game is that it was a statement by the Dolphins who's defense was flying around. You can't make this shit up.

Why is that relevant? The primary stat in NFL is red zone efficiency which MIA dominated on offense and defense.
Who the fuck cares what happens between the 20s.

Here's an article explaining what Heim is talking about regarding the red zone, apologies if this is behind a paywall
A 21-19 win at home where you get doubled up on in every statistical category is far from a statement game. Great win but to think they dominated? Laughable.
I liked Cincy at 1 but at 4, I like Mia.

Long Live Wilson!
Why is that the primary stat? I get that it's a more telling stat for that given game but so is turnovers. However I don't think either of those are more predictive of future results than yds per play?

Turnovers are random....red zone efficiency tends to carry over game to game.

I wouldn't even fuck with Miami in teasers this week.
I meant that I liked openers at Cincy -1. After the movement to 4, I now like Miami.................... Ray liking Cincy does scare me.
I understood what you wrote. I'm saying I don't even like the fins +10. That should tell you all you need to know.
