Absolutely.  The product is shit.  And yet because it still gets numbers, they've stopped putting decent college games on Thursday night. It might as well just be maction at this point

The Dolphins remain an absolute dumpster fire of an organization

The NFL is fine coasting on "controversy" if the story stays mostly within sports headlines. ESPN, Pro Football Talk, Cowherd, CFB51, etc.

But when negative stories earn traction in the mainstream news you really see the NFL go into crisis management, in part because once something like last night's ugly optic with Tua Tagovailoa helplessly fencing gets widespread notice, the story evolves beyond the Dolphins and becomes The New York Post, Good Morning America, and Fox & Friends talking not about the Dolphins, but about the NFL itself.

The NFL has recently worked overtime to keep the Deshaun Watson, Jon Gruden, and Dan Snyder stories from turning too mainstream because the last thing Goodell & Co want is having to weather repeat fallout from headlines surrounding Richie Incognito or Ray Rice, for example.

Dolphins medical staff should've never allowed him back in the Bills game, then to turn around and let him play again less than 5 days only to get another more serious head injury....damn. If I'm Tua's family I am suing the Dolphins and the NFL for a shitload of money.
You do know that to get through concussion protocol in the NFL you have to be cleared by an independent medical examination.  The Dolphins medical staff had nothing to do with allowing him back in the game if he was under the NFL's concussion protocols. 

If a player is observed during a game having his head bounced, hit, etc. in a way that could cause a concussion, he has to pass an independent examination. If he fails, he cannot play and he will continue to be tested by an independent doctor until he passes protocol and there is nothing the team doctors can do about it.

I think that is the question.

Did the Dolphins follow protocol?

Yup.  Like I said before, I'll watch the very worst college game on a Thursday night, over the very best NFL game, unless my NFL team is one of them.

But even so, I'd prefer some actual good college matchups on Thursday night, but the boring-ass No Fun League has basically killed that option.  Fargin bastages.

the NFL Thursday night product is garbage. They can't keep having guys play with only 3 days rest. Just get rid of it already imo.
