Tua's stat line: 36 of 50, 469 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT, 124.1 rating

 

Weak arm or no weak arm, that's a lotta production.

 

 

Prediction:

 

If Tua has to throw 50 times next week, he'll leave the game on a cart before getting there

This thread has brought out all the posters who show up in post game threads to tell us "I told you so!"

 

This was just a fascinating game. I was one of the ones dogging Tua in the first half. Bottom line is Tua is not special but he does have enough skills that he can hurt you with the receivers he has. Waddle and Hill are probably the best WR tandem in the league. And that's probably not hyperbole. McDaniels is also getting good production from the running game. 

 

Not sure what to think of the Miami defense though either. It was a tell of two halves for them on that side of the ball.

The entire ravens starting defensive backfield was injured pretty much by that point in the game…they were down to practice squad level dudes on defense.

 

 

It became like that game when Joe Burrow put up 500 on a bunch of street FAs in Ravens' jerseys.

Not sure Allen has ever had a day like that...

 

Yeah... awful Quarterback, isn't he?

He's had much higher passer ratings that's for sure.

So Tua was throwing against a second string?

I wouldn’t even say second string…there’s gotta be a hex on the Baltimore defensive backfield or something.  They weren’t particularly healthy coming into the game and it only got worse from there.  Peters I think made it through but he was on a pitch count because he’s still recovering from an injury

Not what I said. Don't think Allen has ever had 6 passing TD's.

 

Maybe because he hasn't needed to?

Do the Bills play the Ravens this year? We’ll hang 50 in them.

 

Yeah. We're going to tear them a new one for sure.

Yeah, Josh Allen sucks. Let's trade him for Tua.

No matter what you do/don’t believe about Tua, what he did today was pretty damn special.  
 

Miami has to feel great about their team and start.  Props to their coaches to keep their heads in that game. 
 

As far as Harbaugh though, he needs to really wonder about his secondary.  

 

my thoughts on this game….

 

it was about big plays by each team.

 

ni do t think the Baltimore D is all that good.

 

Baltimore got a KO TD, a 75 yd pass TD and a 78 yd or so run TD by Lamar.

 

then in the4th they played soft allowing big plays when other D usually play a protect the big play defense and make them dink and dunk.

No, Allen has been much better than that.

I would love to see Allen's stat line with 50 pass attempts.

Crowning? No, just not assuming they are a pushover, like many.

 

Yeah. You better make sure you don't step on @FilthyBeast toes. That is his territory.

Pretty laughable implication though…josh authored a perfect offensive game against a top 5 defense in the playoffs I don’t think a random regular season game against a secondary decimated by injuries really compares.  
 

were you a Miami doomer last year?  I think your argument holds a little less water if you were 😂

That late hit call on Burrow is such trash. 
 

Barr literally hit him as he hit the ground falling forward.

I can accept the argument that Mahomes is seen as better than Josh at this stage because of his consistency (though he got lucky at times on Thursday). On the flipside, Josh is more consistent/reliable than Tua. The latter is more reliant on his receivers making average throws look good and, luckily for him, he has some superb receivers.

San Fran Soo lucky they DIDN'T trade Jimmy G.
