    Tua is not the only one with a porous o-line, do you think Herbert had more to work with last Sunday?

    Again, how has our defense been? When our defense is so horrible that you're letting opposing teams score at will...

    Yes, obviously. They ran the ball at will with practice squad running backs and he was only pressured on 30% of his dropbacks.

    Defense hasn’t been good at all I agree, but Tua has put them in bad situations quite often this season. I‘m not saying Tua is at fault for everything or that he is the main reason (that is Grier/Ross), but he definitely is a part of the problem and likely not the solution.

    Practice squad RB‘s and backup Tackles, how did he do? Did he have a turnover + the D was getting to him, they just couldn’t bring him down.

    Even if it was the play call, it was terribly executed. THAT'S the entire point.

    I've called for McDaniel/Grier/Tua to be moved on from. Criticizing Tua's performance on that final play is in no way me absolving McDaniel of his responsibility.

    That being said, you need to seriously start considering whether Tua and his limitations are affecting McDaniel's calls. Again, this is not a defense of McDaniel, he claimed Tua was awesome and he could get great performance out of him.

    This is a bad team. Bad coaching. Bad players. Bad culture.

    Bad. There is zero reason to defend any of it.

    Oh c'mon Res, be realistic here will you? With 5 seconds left on the game clock, thanks to the defense playing like a wet paper bag with a hole in it, the game was OVER. If Tua was able to launch the ball 70 yards for a desperate hail mary or if he did complete the pass for sandlot football to try and score, the game was OVER!!! We weren't scoring...period!!!

    Its so frustrating when people are so fixated on ONE player they can't see the obvious; the DEFENSE lost us that game.

    The game was really lost in he third quarter. Look at the offensive stats for both teams in the third quarter. I was actually surprised how good the phins secondary played for a good portion of the game with the exception of the third quarter.

    Bru he threw essentially a dump off for a pick. Are you kidding me?

    It's not like he tried to make a play and threw a pick.

    He had a 58 rating bro

    I'm not fixated on one player. I've said this repeatedly.

    None of us are focused solely on Tua and acting like he is the one and only problem with the team.

    Just another strawman to beat up on.

    But the game wasn't lost in the third quarter. We took the lead in the 4th with 45 seconds left to play!!!! How come some of you refuse to accept the facts? Did we or did we not take the lead with 45 seconds left to play?

    The way you guys look at things is so bizarre to me.

    We had three possessions end in interceptions. Clearly everything wasn't sunshine and roses for the offense.

    Sitting here and acting like Tua and the offense were good is ridiculous. Without Achane, we aren't even close to in that game.

    Give Achane all the credit. He's the only one who deserves it.

    And, if anyone is using the last "drive" against Tua with 5 seconds left is an absolute moron.

    The game was lost in the third quarter? Really? Because with :46 left in the game, the Dolphins had just scored the go ahead touchdown.

    Those last 2 drives were impressive under those circumstances, I was impressed with him and something we rarely get to see. That last game is mostly on the D because they couldn’t bring Herbert down, I don’t argue that. But let’s not pretend Tua is playing good football thus far this season.

    The offense produced 14 points in the 4th quarter to take the lead with 45 seconds left. Jesus dude, are you denying that? Nobody said anything different. It is a full blown non arguable fact that the offense scored 14 points in the 4th while giving us the lead with an opportunity to win! FFSakes man! What are you even on about? The defense gave the points right back after we scored!!!!! These are facts and you are still arguing them!!!! LMMFAO!

    Holy **** man! Achane doesn't play quarterback! It's impossible to give him ALL the credit! He didn't compete passes to Jaylen Waddle! He damn sure didn't throw it to himself! My God this is beyond stupid!
