Video Transcript<\/p>\n

This is terrible, but I’m gonna say it anyway, um, when I saw that this game going into halftime, what was the score going into halftime?<\/p>\n

It was, uh, 17 to 6, right?<\/p>\n

I put this, then that’s when this game became a fixture on one of my quad boxes because I was like, oh, we got Tua in the second half, needing multiple scores against the Browns’ defensive line.<\/p>\n

Like, I am locked into that.<\/p>\n

Uh, and then the second it went just as poorly as I think we all thought it would.<\/p>\n

Uh, on 12 dropbacks, he had 56 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, 3 picks, um, minus 1.6 EPA per dropback.<\/p>\n

I mean, just I, I don’t, I don’t think you can put him out there again.<\/p>\n

I think you have to bench Tua because.<\/p>\n

Well, sure, at least Quinn’s ain’t talking crap about his teammates and then going through 3 interceptions against the Browns.<\/p>\n

Like, I don’t know, that’s not tenable.<\/p>\n

I can’t not like you and you’re throwing picks like that’s, that’s not, that’s no good.<\/p>\n

So, I think they have to consider it because this is just not.<\/p>\n

Because there was nothing because they got pants.<\/p>\n

You can’t keep doing this.<\/p>\n

You can’t keep getting pants and you can’t keep giving yourself no chance to win in crunch time.<\/p>\n

No, I know, and you can’t keep, uh, I mean, like something’s gonna happen, like just something.<\/p>\n

It just can’t, this is a long season.<\/p>\n

We’re not even halfway there.<\/p>\n

We just, just, this is, I mean, we said it; one of the early games for them was they felt like just a white flag already.<\/p>\n

They lose the Colts week one, I think it was.<\/p>\n

That’s what it just felt like; it was just like a white flag already because none of the guys wanted to do.<\/p>\n

Tua has the strengths where it’s like, get the ball quick and his accuracy.<\/p>\n

But this is where, you know, like the Herbert Tua things and just maybe what the, the whole arguments about quarterback traits even.<\/p>\n

Is that there was a throw he had today.<\/p>\n

It was a 10 yard out route.<\/p>\n

He was on his own, uh, same hash, so it wasn’t a field out route.<\/p>\n

And he has to, he can’t step into it cause he has a little pressure.<\/p>\n

He throws it and the ball nosedives on him.<\/p>\n

Like it actually like, like it wasn’t a throw where it was just aimless and it just missed.<\/p>\n

It was just that he threw it to the right spot with the right timing, but the ball just didn’t have enough oomph and it actually tilted like it was a fade ball.<\/p>\n

And that’s just what I mean.<\/p>\n

I was like, where are you having those limitations, and like you said, you can’t talk like that and throw the interceptions.<\/p>\n

So if you’re now you’re turning the ball over.<\/p>\n

Man, and I think, you know, head coach wise it’s just like McDaniels is just every week out there, every press conference is sadder and sadder.<\/p>\n

It’s just, it’s pretty tough to watch right now.<\/p>\n

It’s like, just please do something, trade somebody, do something, please just do something.<\/p>\n

I can’t keep watching this.<\/p>\n

I can’t, I can’t hands up and just wait, wait until the guillotine at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Just wait for the guillotine, that’s all they’re doing.<\/p>\n
