Tua bruised ribs (update: fractured, headed to IR)

[TBBills]

Crazy to think the Bills ended the Dolphins season in week 2.

This team is a ****ing joke, so sick of it. I truly don't know how much more I can stand, seriously thinking after 50 years, I am just about ready to spend my Sunday's in a less miserable way than watching this rudderless Ship drift out to sea.

 

Anyone think they're reading TBD from around the drought years?

Drought years hell, it could have been last weeks GDT here.

Kind of my initial take on his ceiling too, although I am a strong proponent of giving QBs time and the right support in the right environment to really assess their potential.

 

He hasn't stayed healthy long enough to really do the latter. And as they say the best player ability in the NFL is availability.

you have to be some kind of mental case to cheer or laugh at an injury. I wish Tua the best... I always want to face the best the team has to offer and beat then

even if its Brady. Maybe Tua learns sitting on a bench. 

 

Agree with the first part.  I think we did play their best though.  IMO at least at this point, Brisset is the better QB.

Scott to be honest with you... we played Miami the way NE used to play us... Install new plays the Saturday before the game.. out of 13 passing plays 11 of them were new plays... second half we came out with our usual josh threw for lots of yards that drive and ended all worries of any Miami Come back.. Then back to messing with new plays.. on top of that on running downs we zone and man blocked..   they easy...  Josh will be back just fine.. IF there was any worry about Josh they would not of installed new plays for this game without practicing them... sorry my rant is over lol back on topic of Tua.. We saw their best.. Tua got wrecked on a good CLEAN sack and I do wish Tua the best.

I know AJ hit him hard. But, it wasn't that hard. It was a perfectly clean hit. If that's all to take to sideline Tua for multiple games, I'm going to say it's time for him to find a new line of work. I'm pretty sure that most Miami fans would agree, and I suspect that Tua Tagovailoa might agree, as well.

It truly did not look like a hit that would break anyone’s ribs. He must be fragile

I think they said he had a flat jacker on to. At least that is what was said in a podcast. Can not confirm nor deny

I mean probably bad luck but at a certain point you've got to wonder.

I don't wish him any ill will or anything but I don't think its bad luck.  I think its just his body type.

Out a minimum of 3 weeks.  Add a week or so to get back into form should take him coming back for Week 8 in Buffalo!

Go Bills!

Yeah, it was a perfect hit in today's NFL. It was a good, solid pop, but yeah.....was surprised ribs broke. He must be one of those fragile ones lol

Sadly I think Tua is going to wish he had Mariotas career when all is said and done.

There is no coincidence that there are 10 pins in bowling lane with a ball rolled at them.  The QB is the bowling ball which knocks the other pins down.

 

I have heard another comparison about a QB with pool balls with QB being the 8 ball.

Brissette is probably better than Tua. 
I think we did them a favor.

Honestly I feel for Tua. Miami is screwing him royally, they’re doing exactly what they did to Tannehill and what the Jets did to Darnold. I guarantee if Tua leaves and becomes successful elsewhere then Miami may never recover. I mean 10 games isn’t enough at all to evaluate a QB, that’s like Beane and MCD making a final decision on Allen after year 1, a QB takes time to develop.

He just isn't that good.  He has nothing that really stands out as elite.
