That first drive showed that Tua and the offense could score easily. But, after that, the Ravens defense adjusted successfully, WRs dropped easy TDs, the o-line was exposed again, Tua made some bad throws and failed to run for some 1st downs that he could have had, and McDaniel's poor playcalling and lack of adjusting kept Miami's offense from scoring enough to win, even after the defense gave up all of those points. IOW, the loss was on the defense AND the offense.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic because you mixed in multiple true statements. A great QB does elevate the entire team and they do have 3-4 drives lasting ten minutes that also ends up protecting a weak defense.
I wouldn't really consider Aiyuk and Deebo as 'big' receivers. They're bigger than Tyreek and Waddle, but it's not like they're AJ Brown or DK Metcalf. Kittle is a beast tho.
Disagree. We just would have been closer. We couldn't stop them. 4th and 7 before the half, easy throw and catch, TD. They scored whenever they wanted
Exactly, this was just like the Buffalo game where they scored at will.
This, fix the oline, it’s where the game is won and lost.
Yep. Exact duplication of that Buffalo game. Offense trying to keep up knowing the defense was going to give up points on every drive
hes played with 2nd and 3rd string OL all year so he has not had near perfect OL play, not even closeThis offensive system is EXTREMELY QB friendly. It does require a cerebral QB however. McDaniel has turned an average, immobile QB from an average, meh guy to a top 10 QB. Imagine what he can do with an actual good QB who ya know, can stand in the pocket for longer than 2.5 seconds.
Imagine having an NFL QB who cannot get hit. WTF? Allen/Hurts/LJ/Mahomes/Burrow are monsters. They can extend plays and put their teams on their backs. Oh and their fans dont cringe when they get tackled (well Burrow maybe)
Tua is what he will always be.. He cannot get hit, he needs to get the ball out in under 2.5 seconds, he cannot escape with his legs, he lacks any mobility, he cannot extend plays, he absolutely shits the bed against top teams. Someone look it up, his record against winning teams is something like 3-12
Sign Russ or Kirk who has balled in the playoffs
If you're a fan of Tua, that's awesome.. Just know, he is not capable of LEADING this team to a super bowl. He needs an opportunistic defense and almost perfect OL play.
The quicker we rip the bandaid off, the better it will be in the long run
We have been “fixing” the oline since the Jake Wrong pick. At some point we have to start questioning those grading these prospects. We have wasted loads of high picks and FA dollars and line is never fixed.
dude it really has gotten to be terrible ive been on this site a long time almost 15 years and the knee jerk dramatic reactions of people are legitimately at an all time high...i saw a guy before say something about a house cleaning...were 11-5 and in the playoffs back to back years unde4 McD
This is it. I cant understand how anyone sees or expects anything but this.
Yes. All true
