So literally the best thing Collingsworth can say about Tua afterwards is “he made it through the game.”. Ladies & gentlemen, your Dolphins franchise QB!

As a Pats fan, I pray McDaniels hangs his hat on this guy. Unfortunately, it seems he’s smart. On the other hand, they have no path to a legit QB. So there’s that. . . (Waiting for defense of Tua in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .)

Tua looked like he hadn’t played in three weeks. Offense also got weirdly conservative in the middle of the game. It felt like they were willingly letting their foot off the gas trying to get the run going.

I’m happy to come out with a win and a healthy QB. Tua will have better games than this one.

All true. And with Pittsburgh you can get away w that. Will be interesting to see if it’s just rust or not. And the conservatism was odd. It was still close.

Anyway, it’s year 3 of the Tua experiment and I wonder if the Phins really know what they have. (They certainly have lined up the weapons and coaching around him).

By the way, the NFL absolutely hates the Browns.

The refs actually called an offensive PI on a game winning TD. They never make that call. Like, never.

But worse was Harbaugh literally bullying the refs into calling a false start on a play the Ravens went offsides. Look at the replay, it's insane, the Browns didn't move. And instead of a first down, they had to try a prayer 61 yarder.

How do you let a coach bully you like that? Plus, the clock shenanigans after the field goal was absolute nonsense. Cost the Browns the 2 minute warning by letting the clock just run for 5 extra seconds on a dead ball.

On the offsides, the left end does move I think before there is contact but its close. Vast majority they are calling that on the D and nobody thinks twice. Although replay I saw didn't have a good view of the ball which Ravens claimed moved.

OPI was weak.

Low kick on the FG. Play is still live after the block similar to a punt. Don't see when the ball stops or goes out bounds but players are running on the field celebrating with over 2 minutes left. So either it should have been blown dead or flag thrown.
