    Damn, Tua's dropping master classes. That thread of yours really did not age well.

    Tua played well yestereday and had a couple great throws late. That being said, I would like to present evidence to counter the "master class" tag being assigned.

    he had enough good throws out of structure to say that it isn't just scheme / Hill. It will be interesting how differently the Pats approach it and how Tua fares against a Belichick defense

    Like I said, he played well. But he only had two throws that I think 80 percent of starters couldn’t make.

    Rolling left to Berrios the sideline was very impressive and obviously that TD to Tyreek where he was stepping up and threw across his body. The rest were (could be missing one or two) were so easy.

    Also, last year when the Chargers made Tua look like the worst QB in the league they played zone 88 Percent of the game. This year? They manned up 80 percent of the time. So tip to the Pats, don’t play a lot of man.

    Unfortunate to see Bill pop up on a Big Pic Denzel movie draft episode. The Sean/Amanda/Chris dynamic on those eps are one of my favorite recurring things on the Ringer podcast network each month.

    it is an especially weird thing to do when Taylor Swift was a huge star from day 1. like when she was a teenager.

    this isn't like being early on some Indie band that breaks big and headlines Bonnaroo. It is Taylor Swift :laugh:

    I go to the Big Picture for movie takes. But I stay to listen to some late 30s / early 40s crisis podding

    Not to brag but I was all in on Taylor when I saw her live at Citizen's Bank Park playing the national anthem before game 3 of the World Series in 2008. I was there with my dad and I remember saying to him right after she finished that this girl has it, she's going to be the Lebron of the pop world for at least the next 15-20 years, first ballot pop star HOF'er no question.

    "that's too high" because Bills are favored -6 against Washington and BS picked -3. :laugh:

    never change.

    the team that just blew out a bad / middling team by 28 can't conceivably cover -6 against Washington.
