IDK - I honestly haven’t watched it close enough - it’s a fair question.
Are defenses starting to figure out Tua clip

I genuinely think we've gotten away from using other pieces on the board like Ingold, Gesicki, Smythe, etc. which has allowed defenses to key in on Hill and Waddle. I think we've also looked for big chunk yards way too much. Our dink and dunk should have been used against SF, LA, and GB. We did it more at Buffalo and saw success.
I do think Tua got happy feet against SF and was worried about O-line getting hit. He needs to be fearless and trust himself. That confidence isn't there right now.
We need to get some wrinkles in this offense and keep people honest. Running the ball isn't enough. I think McDaniel has been a little stubborn and thinks his stuff is simply gonna win out vs playing against our opponent. My one major criticism of him to date and to be fair I think our execution can be better on an individual level.
I'd love to see some screens, jet sweeps, and anything to keep a defense honest.

It's a good question and something I've also wondered.
The getting the plays in before 10 seconds needs to be worked on as well, so Tua can at least read the defense. Don’t know if it’s because McDs plays are so long or what. He needs to condense it so they have time to get set. It’s happened in a lot of the games where they get to the line with only 10 seconds on the play clock. It results in wasted TOs and almost delay of games.
This place is therapy for some of us! Lol
Let it all out my friend.....no reason not to!
dude, i was upset yesterday that they were breaking the huddle with only a few seconds to go on almost every play......when you always snap the ball with one second left it gives an advantage to the defense.....they can go on the snap without worrying about jumping offsides
I love how you just throw up numbers with no perception of how said numbers were made! Not one of those yards matters if we don't make the playoffs. What are you even talking about??

youre right... this happens way too often with this team. It also leads to dumb penalties and wasted timeouts.
This could be where I'm at too. Although I may not be as high on Tua as that. I think we definitely need to bring in some competition and let him know this mother effer needs to get his **** together. But man a lot of this is on coach.

4k yards, 25 tds, 8 ints, 3 concussions.
Looks like he might have had a concussion yesterday, too.
That's what I've been asking. These last 4 games we've had outlets there in the flats, on curls or drags and Tua don't even look at them. It's on both in my opinion because I think coach wants the big play as much as Tua does. It's not like they don't know the outlets are there... they watch the damn game film.

I don't buy in to this narrative really.
All of those 3 picks were simply bad throws. He sailed it to Tyreek and he severely under threw Gesicki at the end of the game. Not sure what happened on the throw to Mostert, but he shouldn't have thrown that ball. Mostert wasnt looking and he wasn't even near the ball.
I watched the game twice. Tua actually looked pretty good with the exception of those 3 plays. He moved around in the pocket, hit a couple throws when he was scrambling. He just made 3 bad decisions at a terrible time. I honestly can not credit the Packers players or scheme for 2 of 3 of those picks. They got lucky TBH. The throw to Tyreek was good defensive play, as he was surrounded by Packers and that ball shouldn't have been thrown.
I think Tua can clean up the poor decisions.

That’s what someone said something about the second quarter with like 2 minutes to go. Man that’s be an awful job protecting players if true
I believe Mostert admitted he wasn't in the right place on that 2nd one. He was supposed to curl there where Tua threw it and he kept running downfield. The first and third were just weirdly bad throws.....
