For what it's worth, the media is starting to change the Tua narrative.I prefer the media shower over hype Mac and leave Tua alone - Tua is doing great without them lol
Listened to Sirius Radio yesterday and their was some Tua praise.

You can add coaches to that list. As soon as we get a penalty on offense we get ready to punt like clockwork.Is it media hypocrisy that upsets you, or that of fans?
To play Devil's Advocate. Waddle said Jones was better than Tua before the draft.Actually he was better then Mac.
I haven't seen that during this stretch except when we're backed up inside our own 5 we become super conservative.You can add coaches to that list. As soon as we get a penalty on offense we get ready to punt like clockwork.
We get a 2nd and 15. We run and punt. It's ridiculous.
Though he will never say it, after he breaks Shula's record, you will see him talking retirement.I agree. The Patriots would be a very average team without him. A lot of people don’t like him, especially on here but the reality is he is the best coach in the NFL and it really isn’t close.
I will celebrate when he finally decides to retire because only then will the Patriots not be the main team in the AFC East the Dolphins have to deal with every year. Unfortunately I don’t see him retiring any time soon.
True I guess I’m a little more prone to hearing about it because I live 25 minutes from Gillette lol. I’m gonna get it constantly. Would love to beat them but that steamrolling run game will be a major issue.Why is that a "problem"? Do you think it affects Tua and the team?
I may, but I doubt it, TBH. I think Tua is mentally stronger than that. He may even derive motivation because of it.
In the sense of being fair, as a matter of public perception? No it isn't, but fairness in media, was a casualty of social media, click counting, and ratings.
Unless one is a hardcore Phins fan, like most of us here, they aren't going beyond sound bytes and hot takes.
I see it Everytime we get a penalty putting us in long yardage.I haven't seen that during this stretch except when we're backed up inside our own 5 we become super conservative.
If he was better he would have been starting. Mac can't sniff Tua's talent and Waddle knows it.To play Devil's Advocate. Waddle said Jones was better than Tua before the draft.
I don’t think it matters to FO how Mac Jones was/is playing. We make our decisions based on us, the players/roster and the importance of the game.Actually he was better then Mac.
I agree, he creates a game plan that is 100% focused on the game and hand be it Weather, personnel match ups etc.I agree. The Patriots would be a very average team without him. A lot of people don’t like him, especially on here but the reality is he is the best coach in the NFL and it really isn’t close.

They have one of the best OL’s in the league and two excellent running backs. Put those two things together, along with a top defense and you are going to win a lot of games. Even if you happen to have a rookie QB who is vastly overrated by the Patriot loving media.Absolutely great strategy by Bellichick. If Buffalo could have slowed down the run game, it would have forced Jones to make some plays.
Hard to believe how successful the New England running attack was.
Just before the draft...Who do you think Waddle would have said was better if Jones was already in the NFL, and Tua was coming out.To play Devil's Advocate. Waddle said Jones was better than Tua before the draft.
Imo, Waddle gave his honest opinion.Just before the draft...Who do you think Waddle would have said was better if Jones was already in the NFL, and Tua was coming out.
Waddle already has said he loves Tua, and playing with him.
I agree, it should not matter, but because one plays for the Pats and other the Dolphins, it seems to matter to the Media, Refs...I don’t think it matters to FO how Mac Jones was/is playing. We make our decisions based on us, the players/roster and the importance of the game.
Tua was replaced by Fitz but Pats have Stridhsm and Boyer I think, you ain’t gonna bring one of those on
