I just know if it was Tua with those stats, the same narrative that Tua is nothing without tyreek would just grow.

I think the narrative was that he was fragile.

Staying healthy this year proved he isn't made of glass

He always threw a lovely deep ball

Now you got to beat a team with a winning record and Dallas has that against them too.

They can't beat a team with a winning record on the road.

So this will be called "The Respect Bowl" by me

BTW Josh was given the game ball after the game and he held it up and yelled "Look I didn't have a turn over"

Everyone was cheering and laughing.

If you seen his post game presser he said he felt like a kid who got an "A" on a class project and didn't do any work

The Bills had never won a game where he threw for less than 200 yds

It was a fantastic gameplan all the way around!

The guy is bigger than russell Wilson, and I don’t ever hear anything about his “physique”. And what style of playing are you referring to? The stay in the pocket style? He rarely runs. I know he was considered dual threat in high school and college, but after the hip injury, he’s mostly a pocket passer.

I agree

Early in the week I said to a friend I don't envy McD this week having to find a way to stop that juggernaut.

Dominance from both lines won the day

[PoorMansCamaro]

You said his physique, then say it’s not just his physique. Which is it? Burrow has missed more games than Tua. I guess he should retire.

Players get riddled with concussions one year and never have that issue again. Tua never had concussion issues prior to last year. I think you are right. I think it’s more bad luck. Jaelen Philips had concussion issues in college. Zero in the nfl.

Tua will be just fine holding up that Lombardi trophy this season

[PoorMansCamaro]

And I’ll reference Wilson again. The guy is known for extending plays. Never have I heard that he’ll get himself hurt and that he should walk off before he can’t walk again. That narrative is old, tired, and just stupid.

Good luck with that Lombardi, you'll need it!

Yeah, that’s seems about right. Not sure how that qualifies you to diagnose Tua to retire early. Not like you are his Dr or family with first hand knowledge. I’ve been in the IT field for about 20yrs, I have as much insight as you do. Lol

I’m not saying I know one way or another either, but I’m not the one recommending a pro football player what to do. I’m just noticing the double standard.

And let me have my dreams. Dolphins have t been this good since the 90’s

[102SS]

Tua studied martial arts in the off season to learn how to fall and take hits.

It obviously helped because here we are in week 16 and he is still upright and hasn't missed a game this year.

[PoorMansCamaro]

Dolphins oline is doing surprisingly well, considering they’ve had about 10 different oline changes. It helps that the scheme has Tua getting rid of the ball in about 2 seconds.

[PoorMansCamaro]

Anyone have any insight on what happened to the iggles? I had no idea Matt Patricia got switched to DC last week. Was the loss last night on him? To allow Drew Lock to March down the field and score the go ahead?

[PoorMansCamaro]

I’m also hearing Zach Wilson may have had 2 concussions in the same game. He had symptoms but didn’t tell anyone, stayed in and then decided to tell staff after he got his bell rung again. He should retire. For his health.

Definitely sarcasm

Well that was fun
