KellyToTasker Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 For not much of a reason, but this game reminds of the Dolphins and Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day years ago (Leon “Lett” it be, 1993). Similarities, tight division race, Thanksgiving’ish. Hopefully we get a better ending and the Dolphins drop the game. Enjoy the day. Go Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It happens every time, but everyone seems to forget anyway. Hot shot QB takes the league by storm. Everyone quickly anoints him the second coming. Then a couple weeks in some DC figures out the hole in his game and exploits it. I'm hoping that game comes soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that game comes soon. I wish Tua the best after all his adversity with injury and he seems to have a pretty pass, but I can't grasp the "Hot shot QB takes the league by storm" narrative about Tua here. When you look at what he's done, he's had 3 starts. He's passed for an average of 130 ypg, 63.6% completions, 0 INT. The Dolphins have gifted him great field position with turnovers on D and ST play to achieve those 5 TDs he's passed for (and that's <2 TD/game) When we had a QB who never threw INTs, had good completion %, but only threw for 130 ypg, the predominant notion was that he didn't generate enough offense. And he was a run threat, which so far Tua is not. It's good that he's not throwing the ball into harm's way, but it's not lighting the league on fire, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway....He has 3 starts. The only place I see him repeatedly anointing him with the phrase "second coming", is right here on TSW---by those saying he's not the second coming. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is 1) don't turn the ball over on offense or ST 2) don't make stupid bonehead ST plays like allowing blocked punts (or punting 12 yds) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the narrative only makes sense in the league that he’s taking his first season in the league in so far, perfect stride. As its been said he hasn’t been asked to do much but he’s done pretty well with what they’ve told him to do. His team has been battling injuries on the offense and their WR core is pretty mediocre especially with their 2nd guy out on injury Preston Williams and he’s a JAG. His starting rb has been out for for the last 2 games and even their 2nd stringer rb was out recently. I think where he’s look most impressive is in the 4th quarter. Where in the last 2 games he’s looked as good as any QB in the league tbh. But the sample size is still far too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not. TUA was going to get hype wherever he goes. And the eye test would quickly discern the latter. Even with what we’ve seen. Limited albeit. 4 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: But that's not the narrative we're hearing Exactly Depends on where you consume your media, I mean Bill Cowherds literally this morning reiterated the same thing he hasn’t been asked to do much but then again who cares about the predictable media narrative, they flip flop so much and have no affect on our team.

Rigotz Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The media has been super annoying, but Tua is a first round rookie from a big college program and had a ton of hype coming in. He hasn’t been good, but he hasn’t been terrible, so the NFL will try to work their storyline within a big market (Miami). Allen was a “high bust potential” prospect from a small market college team going into a small market NFL team, so they didn’t care. None of this is surprising, so don’t let it get to you. I’m happy to see him fail and that’s all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
