Tua has improved every year. But that throw was pathetic. Has Tua peaked? I think McDaniel and Grier could do alot to help Tua by looking at one of his Comps, Brees. Brees had Colston, good TEs, a great receiving RB, plus speedsters thrown in. Miami had no physical over the middle WRs.
Do you see the Brees comp? I know he's a HOFer, but Brees had 4 or 5 mediocre years until the Payton years?
Aside from that one drive, we couldn't run the ball. We started the game with 2 runs, Mostert for 1 and 1.
I mean, he’s not wrong. There’s a bad vibe in Philly
Sorry I deleted my post.
Taylor Swift, obviously.
The message is just sitting there in plain sight in Philly’s backfield: SWIFT HURTS KELCE
She gives good parent
I’m a little slower. And I’m 54.
The Lebron of the NFL now. The entire trend of QB's and WR's pissing and moaning has gotten old fast. Cringe worthy.
vs Cover 0: 7/18, 74 yds (-6.2 EPA) Other Coverages: 16/23, 188 yds, TD (+19.1 EPA)
My head’s right there with him because I lol’d the 1st time.
The result of the game wasn't going to change thanks to that obviously, but it was a bad look for sure, not that the NFL really cares.
The third string QB is not the only alternative. You’re not winning in this league consistently without an elite quarterback. Period. The Dolphins don’t currently have an elite quarterback on their roster. I get that I’m yelling at the clouds here, and Tua is most likely going to be the QB1 next year, but unless he shows significant improvement when it matters, they’d be fools to pay him big money and not move on. He’s a great dude, but is obviously not very good when things in this system aren’t perfect. Is this a different game if they don’t have all the injuries? Possibly. But his play last night didn’t even give them a chance. He was absolutely abysmal. No fire either. Looked like he’d rather be anywhere but playing in a playoff game. I was on board for a while, but the last month and a half has shown me that he’s not the answer. He just doesn’t have it.
He seemed fine. Not every whack to the head causes a concussion -- that's why they wear helmets.
I didn't mind the Cover 0 approach, but you have to press the WRs in it. Fangio famously likes to play his corners off. As a result, Mahomes converted several of these.Missing their top three edge rushers, the Dolphins used cover 0 on 18 dropbacks, tied for the 2nd-most in a game since 2018.
Patrick Mahomes (Wild Card vs MIA)
Given Miami's cap space next year, Skylar might be the only alternative to Tua. Aside from the Tua over Herbert draft decision, which most pundits supported at the time, GM Grier has been bad at evaluating.QBs. There was the Rosen trade for a late 2nd round pick in 2019 and last year's decision to sign Mike White as a backup to an injury-prone Tua. Both QBs had lots of NFL tape showing how bad they were.
To be fair the weather was so effing cold last night that the plastic on that helmet just had to be brittle anyway. On top of that, it looked to me that the plastic itself is not really the barrier that protects the head like the old helmets used to.
I head read somewhere last night that this helmet is designed to flex but was probably too brittle from the cold.
Just when you thought you had seen it all,Patrick Mahomes plays with a hole in his helmut.
