I've never says that Tua is the only one. I've said he does it far more than I like. He does it far more that other QBs when I watch.
Lamar Jackson can create on his own. How'd that work out for him today? The defense had a plan and it worked. They put a spy on him and they made him throw the ball which he isn't the best at. Props to KC and their defense. They've been stellar in the playoffs.
You clearly don't understand I guess. Watch some football. It's real simple. I don't care who your quarterback is. If you pressure them and make them uncomfortable in the pocket, they're going to have an off game. Watch the first super bowl that Mahomes went to when KC played TB. TAMPAS defense made him look average in that game. I can give you a hundred examples over the years where a good defense that was able to pressure the quarterback made the quarterback play like ***. KC got to Jackson all game long, but you must've been watching something else.
The Ravens, with LJ at QB, are now 2-4 in the postseason. LJ has had a passer rating of 78 and under in all but one game. It’s almost as if it’s hard to win in the postseason?
Correct, hope the Dolphins and Tua make it to 6 playoff games but I definitely got my doubts when it comes to that…
The Bills have won how many playoff games in the last 5 years? I think that would be 5. We have won 0 in the last 23 years.
It's no secret, it's a timeless solution to stopping a good offense. IF YOU can pressure a quarterback, make them uncomfortable, they're not going to do what they normally do when they aren't being pressured. Sure...Guys like Mahomes and Jackson can extend plays, but when they have to do it over and over and over throughout the game, it's never a recipe for success. What it means is that they've been pressured by the front four, AND the secondary that they're going against IS holding up in coverage. Cool, Lamar was able to shrug off a few sacks and he even threw a 40 yard bomb down the field! Cool! It was one lucky play amongst 20 or so other plays that weren't made. KC's defense had them all game long. It didn't matter whether coach Harbaugh cracked jokes or not. It didn't matter that team took on the identity of their coach. That entire arena was HYPED for this game. They had Ray Lewis run the team out on the field. Roquan Smith gave a DRAMATIC speech to start the game. They got desperate and brought Terrell Suggs out there to try and hype the team up when things were looking grim...They even turned the lights off before he came out. NONE of that worked because KC's defense was amazing today. This has nothing to do with Tua and everything to do with what a good defense can do to ANY quarterback in the game. Does Lamar Jackson suck now? No he doesn't. This just proves that the playoffs are a different element and even he (a soon to be two time MVP) has yet to figure that out.
He lead his team to 2 playoff appearances. You keep making obtuse posts and then cry about it when you get called out for them. That’s how this place works.
Nonsense. Tua better win his first playoff game, in KC, -10F, injuries everywhere, and against the defending SB champs that just made the juggernaut Ravens and their MVP QB look like a Pop Warner team. Either that, or he sucks.
He's not saying that Tua played in two playoff games. He's sayin that because of what Tua did for us at the QB position, we've been able to make the playoffs two years in a row. True, Skylar Thompson was the guy last year in Buffalo, but without Tua doing what he did for us prior to getting injured against Green Bay we would not have been a playoff team, not even close despite some of you wonderlick warlord savants suggesting that we should start Thompson based off of a great preseason.
Ok, lets actually look at these five stellar Buffalo Bill playoff wins. Starting in 2021 They beat the Colts in a thriller. It was Rivers last game as a pro. 27-24. They beat the Ravens 17-3. Lamar Jackson left the game with an injury and Tyler Huntley the backup had to finish the game. In 2022 they beat the Mac Jones led Patriots 47-17. New England was quite possibly the worst playoff team in the playoff bracket. Last year 2023 they beat the Dolphins...BARELY beat the Dolphins despite Miami having to play their backup QB who was also a rookie. Miami was also the worst playoff team in the bracket to make it. This year they beat the Steelers this year. Again, one of if not the worst playoff team in the bracket. Buffalo hasn't really beaten anybody in their five wins. Every game they were tested minus the Patriot blowout. The Baltimore game didn't really end until later on when they returned a pick for a TD otherwise it was 10-3 Bills vrs the Ravens backup QB. True they've been deeper then we have, but I'm confident that we would have beaten Pittsburgh had we gotten to play them. It definitely sucks that we haven't won $hit in the past 20+ years, but I'm just not ready to proclaim my love for Buffalo the way you are just because they've been to the playoffs and beat up on the crappier wild card teams of the league each year.
No need to cry, just laughing about somebody who can’t admit he’s wrong and thinks he owns people. You’re the best, really!
Did you see that TD celebration by Detroit? Dan Campbell needs to rip them a new one! The commanding general of the midwestern task force should not be allowing this! Did General Pattons jeep driver during the attack of Palermo celebrate? I think not! After all military war conflicts and an NFL football game are very very similar settings. “A Pint of Sweat Will Save a Gallon of Blood.”
For those who haven’t been in combat, humor is often a coping mechanism, and often a warped twisted sense of humor. And there is no “switch”…the dial is just turned down a bit.
Your inability to comprehend doesn’t make others wrong. Maybe get help for your emotional instability and drinking problem.
Crash, I truly do not want to get into a pissing contest…I really don’t but unless you’ve been in combat, don’t comment on it. Those who haven’t don’t know what they’re talking about. They haven’t been there, they haven’t endured the fear, they haven’t endured the rush of adrenaline, they haven’t endured the deafening sounds or concussive shockwaves of explosions, they haven’t endured the sounds of blood drenched gasps of breath or the stench of burnt flesh. It’s a pet peeve of mine because it took me quite a while to get over and when folks make comparisons to the military, especially combat it pisses me off to the highest level of pisstivity. When it comes to leaders in combat, you have no clue.
Make it a three score game. This is where the coaching with your heart and not your head kills Campbell.
After watching this Lions game I guess Campbell is weak, because there’s no such thing as halftime adjustments, and goofy being that at halftime it was 24-7 and now it’s 24-24.
Yeah I don't know man. We've been friends for 30 years. I don't really ask him about it. If he tells me a story it's on his own doing. Personally I don't see that it's necessary to make a correlation between football and military conflict if you haven't served. I actually told him about this forum and how a certain poster is doing that on here. I won't repeat his response despite it being hilarious.
That’s partly my fault and me forgetting that a lot of people don’t understand nuance or even blatantly in your face comments. I brought up my military experience to show that the military is an infinitely more dangerous job and needs great leaders. And those leaders had no problem being “goofy” or telling jokes.
I could ask you the same thing, since you're making no sense. I was talking about the last 5 years, not 50 years ago. 50 years ago, the Dolphins actually won Super Bowls.
Campbell goes for it again instead of taking the tie and San Francisco has just sealed the deal. Coaching on emotions only gets you so far.
Right. It's HARD. So it's better to have a better equipped QB than an underequipped QB. It's hard enough to play on the playoffs, moreso when you have to cover for the weaknesses off your QB. Lamar Jackson was still able to go things when the rush came and people weren't open. I don't think Lamar struggles when he has to throw. I think he struggles when he has to throw agaist a great defense. Just like any QB. The difference for Lamar and guys like him, is that his individual athleticism means he can literally create on his own, and it requires the defense to have to dedicate a defender to him. If you're going to honestly argue that those two things alone aren't immensely impactful, then we have a problem. It's why Lamar is so much more dangerous a weapon than Tua. That isn't a dig on Tua. It's just a fact.
I think when Detroit celebrated that TD in the first half it really cursed them. Now they've paid for it with a big time loss.
It doesn't matter what Lamar Jackson can do or how dangerous he is in some situations. We have lots of data on what the outcome is with Jackson and Allen at the helm even with an elite defense and a very good surrounding cast. Regardless of their regular season play, they choke in the playoffs way too often. So all those physical abilities are for naught. With Tua you only have one choked away playoff game. That's a LOT better than having a larger sample size of choked away playoff games with Jackson and Allen. You're not winning a SB with Jackson or Allen. With Tua there's at least potential.
Do you think Tua choked away that game or lost to the hottest defense in the league on the road in subzero weather conditions?
He choked. He was missing lots of easy throws. No excuses. However, it's only one playoff game. I'd only condemn him if this becomes a pattern.
Exactly. Lamar was 1-6 for 7 yards and 2 sacks on 3rd down. He completed 41% of his passes when blitzed today. Now if this were Tua the clown club would be all over him. Since it’s Lamar they will provide excuses because he can run fast. lol
