I’m 53 years old and in all my years of watching football @ the Pee Wee, High School, College and Professional level. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a QB throw 3 picks in 3 consecutive offensive possessions.
We’ll rogers had 2 an over throws.. Crap happens. They don’t say rogers sucks. The only scored off on one interception.. the other two they didn’t score it’s up to the defence to stop them from scoring.. even if he does throw interceptions they’re not supposed to let them score ..so blame him and blame the defense and stop hating on tua
@Andrew Jones I think we should give him maybe 2 more games and see what happens
@Vivian Martin with all fairness . Considering with what Josh Boyer currently has on defense? He’s actually doing the best he can. With a couple of exceptions of a few bone head coverages that left you literally scratching your head. On this current defense. I think there are only 5 maybe 6 players you can really count on. Remember Koku (check spelling) is a division 2 player who went undrafted. With exception of X Howard & Javon Holland. The rest are all backups.
@Bryan Gonzalez lol. I don’t know bro. That’s really cutting it short.
@Andrew Jones Trust me dude I’m very confident that he will be fine
It hurts but I’m not giving up on Tua. Have a lot of work to be done across the board. Let’s win the next 2 games and get into the playoffs. Phins up til I die!!! 🐬🐬🐬
Glad to see this comment.
@Ruski 237 Boy you crazy
@The Good Life how so?
Okay so we win the next two games we make it to the playoffs then what we’re not going to do anything in the playoffs we have lost four in a row we’re not we’re not peaking right now we are slumping we don’t deserve to go to the playoffs
@Richard Millelot agreed
He could have had a big career-defining comeback drive. But no 3ints… not a good look going into the last two games of the season.
I don’t care if we win the SuperBowl,.I will NEVER forgive Tua for THROWING this game AWAY,..Needs to be INVESTIGATED FOR GAMBLING,…NOW
@Matthew Matt I wouldn’t go that far. I think he just made some bad decisions. To throw a game takes a certain type of weasel. Which I don’t think he is. But hey your theory.
@Eman Well he went from throwing 5 picks in 40 quarters to throwing 3 picks in ONE quarter and NONE of the interceptions were in Man coverage
@Matthew Matt I think it was just really bad throws in crunch time. Tua is a young QB I really hope he takes that and learns from it. He isn’t clutch yet.
@Eman Yeah,.That Last pick,.That’s Cover 2,.ANY qb KNOWS that you throw the ball to the Deep receiver High and Wide and he throws it Low and INSIDE?,.I mean?
This is a young team. Did anyone really expect this team to win the superbowl? Come on now. I see a bright future with this team. Tua is under his 3rd offensive coordinator in 3 years. Let this team go through their rough patch until they master the new playbook. They’ll be alright. Go fins!!
A Super Bowl no but I did expect to beat the 6-8 Packers at home. McDaniel needs to get his act together fast because this team has too much talent to be this inept. Soft coach = soft team.
If they had a QB here like Lamar Jackson, with his ability to run, imagine that combined with Hill, and Waddle; they have to go after Lamar, ; being local, they have a great shot at getting him down there.
Good point Alex Martin I love your comment great great comment I think our early success this year when nobody called for us to beat the first four teams well the first three we won the first three games I think that got us a little spoiled at least it did me anyway and I say a little because as I look down toward the end of the schedule I said oh wow we got the 49ers we got the Packers we got the bills we got all those Road games at the end of the season wow you know I’m a realist and I said we have a rookie coach we have a rookie system in place we have veterans that are coming into a new system yada yada so Alex your comment is right on point it is right on point.
@Anthony Caniano let’s not be too critical of our young rookie head coach because I don’t think there’s ever been too many coaches in their first year that have done much but what do I know I’m not an expert on NFL coaches
At 8-3 yes you DO have to expect playoffs, which now are seriously in doubt. I’d also expect Tua not to regress so poorly and play calling to adjust at some point in DECEMBER. I appreciate your optimism, but as a fan of 35 plus years Ive seen this story too many times. If by “alright” you mean the owner will continue to make millions of dollars despite tampering and suspension , and tickets/merchandise sales stay steady while the team on the field stumbles and falls on it’s face..then yeah…we will be alright.
I say if they dont beat the patriots and jets and make the playoffs go for Sean Peyton and a new qb…they literally just blew four games in a row.
Well the problem is Mr Hanson or I’ll just call you mark excuse me for misspelling it, is we can go get a new coach yeah we can go get a new quarterback yeah that doesn’t guarantee a dog going thing. And as far as blowing four games in a row I didn’t see any of our coaches out there throwing interceptions dropping passes missing tackles missing field goals jumping off sides or making any other kind of miscues all I seen was players out there doing that.
Yeah..So much for Mr. GENIUS
Tua played poorly in the second half but I will say that I question a lot of the play calling as well.
Just an overall bad game for us … don’t give up! We’ll come back!!
Nothing was wrong with play calling! Everything you called worked except his 3 terrible picks!
Defense gave him every chance to win this game. Blew it.
Man, people have crap memory. It was our D that kept llowumg scores immediately after our O made explosive plays leading to TDs, it was our D that yet again couldnt get off the field on 3rd and long unless there was a momentum killing drive. They are not blameless in this the score should have been 20-0 at half but the defense helped keep them in this game to begin with
Defense was not good in 2nd half..they sucked last week..not tua
@Chibi TheEdgehog 3 straight picks…
Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me you didn’t watch the game.
It’s ok to check down sometimes Tua. You don’t need an explosive on every play. Also tell your head coach when you’re gashing the other team keep running the ball. So frustrating and painful being a Dolphin fan.
Mostert fumbled and killed the offensive momentum.
Tua, still doesn’t know the playbook. McDaniels is hiding the fact that Tua can’t retain a playbook well enough to scheme off of a certain defensive look.
Tua will always man up
God bless you my Bradda moving forward there will be better days ahead for sure for our beloved Dolphins 🤙🏽
What better group of talent will they be able to afford than this , this will be there best chance and it’s slipping away
Who else can they afford plus gave up 5 picks for hill
@riff724 riff724 Yep, next year is it before the rebuild begins again for us. People can’t see that or understand how to build a Super Bowl team.
I am sick to my stomach from that BS. Home game on Christmas with the playoffs on the line and this is whet we get.
I don’t care if we win the SuperBowl,.I will NEVER forgive Tua for THROWING this game AWAY
Mistakes happen but those 3 picks were so egregious.I have to question some things.
Yeah,.That shyte looked FIXED,.It was Cover 2 on the Last interception,.If you’re trying to hit the deeper receiver ANY qb knows that you throw it high and outside ,.not Low and Inside. I mean we can Talk about communication and Reps all we want but that’s Basic Football,.He Handed the packers the football game,.They did NOTHING that we didn’t GIVE them ,.I will Never forget THIS GAME,.Needs an investigation
I don’t understand how someone can simultaneously match Dan Marino’s records and also choke games like this. I just don’t get it.
That mostert fumble was the beginning of the end
A loss once in a while ok but 4 straight Good luck in New England trying to keep the faith for 2 wins next year🏈
Well Raheem Mostert was right. His QB can sling it. Unfortunately he’s slinging it to anybody willing to catch it.
I’ve always believed in Tua and I think that this is really the first year that he can be evaluated fairly. However, you can’t have a QB go 0-4 in December plus 3 of the games were on National TV. Tua just doesn’t have it. He literally threw the ball right to the defenders in a home game on National TV in the fourth quarter on 3 straight drives! Tua just does not have the killer mentality and you cannot count on him when a play breaks down. I think that Tua is 100% class and a very reliable QB but he is not going to ever be an elite player. His body language says it all. Plus for Miami to really capitalize on their potentially explosive and potent offense they need to get to the line and play in a hurry up style. They are making simple plays way too complicated by having all of these different players go into motion. They get unforced penalties and the play clock is always about to expire. Tire the other Teams defense out! To have an explosive and dangerous offense you have to keep a defense on their heels and tire them out.
Tua sucks
As a dolphins fan, I’m used to this. Hopefully we make it to the playoffs. If not, it is what it is 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Dude didn’t play the full season in 2020, 2021 nor 2022. He’s some growing to do. I bet everyone who’s knocking him now had no doubts when he went 5 & 0.
Still believe in this young man it’s only year 3 we see the progress qb1 move on from this
