I love diving into stats. I cannot buy into EPA at this point. THe results run contrary to other statistics that I think make more sense.
 
I hate when I don't really pay attention to my fantasy forgot to cut Miami's defense this week. Especially with Josh, Coleman and Cook I'm gonna want the Buffalo offense to go off.
 
Tua is done. And he needs to simply walk away. His family needs to force him to quit.

It sucks because he is an exciting player and a very popular player. And Miami is exciting to watch with all their offensive talent. But it simply has to happen.
 
One report I saw says that Tua gets all 93 million of his signing bonus, regardless if he plays another snap. And if he has to retire due to medical reasons, he would likely still receive all of his guaranteed 167 million.

Listen is the advice of the Steve Miller Band and Take the Money and Run.

It wasn't even a hard hit from the defender. Hamlin largely just absorbed the hit.

Its such a violent game - Its not for everyone.

Some guys you wouldn't expect can handle it like Eli who was killed in his career but always got up.

All he had to do was dive forward and avoid Hamlin. It's so ****ing easy. Anyone should have done it. Instead he did probably the dumbest thing ran into him with his crown down.

Tua has likely taken much more rough hits than Eli ever did. Eli got sacked a bunch, but look at what Tua did going into that contact, that's something he's done hundreds of times. That's worse than big hits most of the time.

Fair point - Eli knew how to get hit it seemed.

Always remember the NFC Champtionship game aginst our Justin Smith / Aldon Smith team. Never saw a QB take a beating like that in my life.

Donovan McNabb in the Superbowl vs. the Pats. Patriots were doing the Seahawks holding defensively thing but with late hits on McNabb.

Eli largely didn't lead with his head into defenders. Absorbing/bracing for a hit generally does less damage than initiating a hit.

If I recall correctly, your chances of getting a concussion grow exponentially (like 4-6 times) with every concussion you have.

Taking a sack is typically a different type of hit than lowering your head into a defender.
