Tua to the side, and all prayers for him......but we were getting our butts kicked before he got hurt. I know we had injuries late last year, and that gave me some hope to maybe expect something different, especially with Buffalo losing some key players during the off season. However last year, IMHO the biggest issues on the team were OL, play calling, and no legit #3 receiver.

Losing Williams and Hunt make this OL even worse. The fact that Grier came out and basically laughed at everyone questioning the OL just shows me the guy doesn't get it and never will. The play calling was the same forceful crap that doesn't work against good teams, and he was late AGAIN several times leading to wasted timeouts. McD needs to give up play calling now! I mean how many times can you run a FB dive successfully?

Lastly, the first 2 Tua ints were based largely on our 3rd receiver not running the route correctly. The last one although a bad Tua mistake was based on the fact that our OL sucks and Armstead was out again.

When you don't address problems and issues, and actually regress in some instances.......can you really expect a different outcome?
 
Hold on I am about to give Armstead a two year extension.

As wash rinse repeat as the above post is it goes to show that the front office is clueless on what it take to CONSISTANTLY win football games. We were DRUBBED at home by BACKUPS.

When you resign a small time, injury prone QB to a huge contract…yeah what do you expect. Still making excuses for Tua🤦‍♂️

Tua apologists need to own up to fact that those of us who said not to extend him were right.

I actually said Tua to the side......because Tua when facing the same issues as mentioned above is not going to be successful, as the TEAM is not going to be successful. Who should we have signed? It wouldn't matter as any other QB would face these same issues.

That’s not me. I did post here regularly over the summer. 2 big threads dedicated to the extend vs. not extend convo. I was in the minority and took a lot of crap..mean spirited crap. So yeah…hear to say I told you so.

That being said it’s nothing to be overly proud of, as it was so obvious to anybody w a brain Tua should be playing on 5th year option right now.

That's the thing people aren't realizing. This O line was put together based on Tuas quick release and anticipation.

Very few, if any QBS will be successful behind this line.

When you have a Center who can't snap, and a line that has trouble blocking longer then 2.2 seconds, what QB will thrive?

Why won’t you hold him accountable? He’s terrible vs good teams..and was again last night..even before the injury. Again it’s obvious he isn’t a franchise QB.

Again..I would have made him play on 5th year w an eye on FA and the draft.

Fair enough. The problem is why didn't you come here last week after Tua was leading the league again passing yards to continue the "we shouldn't have signed Tua" argument?
 
Yeah we actually looked like we regressed significantly against Buffalo any way. I had lost confidence for the season while we were playing. This gives us reason to at least blow this up and start over.

Horrible management by Grier basically doing little on the oline and bringing a bunch or small/injured WRs in. The guy is not serious about winning in the NFL. I feel like he felt last season was this huge success when it was actually much more of a failure
