Two turnovers on two drives to start this season.

Wonderful

It’s just kind of the way it is these days but we overpaid the wrong guy.


We look as bad as the Cam Cameron year

Tua is trash

You think it will be before the end of the season when the retail store manager (Grier) and the Silcon Valley computer nerd (McDaniel) are let go?   If this game has any indication of how the season will go, that's a definite possibility

I don't think Tua and McDaniel make it through the season; Grier might just because what's the point of firing him mid season.  Although I think it would be good for Ross to fire Grier mid season.

Ross has a past history of showing incredible loyalty, but if it comes to the crunch and halfway through the season there are a LOT of empty seats at Hard Rock Stadium... McDaniel will be shown the door.

I think some have picked it as statistically the worst complete game (not concussed) of his career:

The two interceptions were absolute shockers. With the second, most of the experts' comments were that he didn't see Latu in coverage, but if that's the case I couldn't see who was the intended target was? It was thrown a mile behind Washington's route, like he was expecting him to stop or double back, and sailed to Latu long after Washington was out of the picture. It was truly bizarre stuff. Was it a miscommunication, or just a horrible miss?

As for that first INT, Tua was asked if he made a mistake forcing the ball... he initially indicated no, but added this:

"It was just a throw that I sailed on Tyreek, I maybe hung on it a little longer," Tua said. "Probably should have progressed on that. My feet were telling me to progress on that. Probably would have had Jaylen (Waddle) on that throw instead of hanging there."

So he waited too long for Tyreek to hit his mark for the cut before throwing, and should have got rid of it earlier to Waddle. I'm not sure what's worse - a wild, poor throw, a brainfade taking a bad option when he should have known better? Or that Tua was so locked into Tyreek to keep him happy, he couldn't back out of the risky option?

Tua's biggest selling points were his accuracy and decision making - and this game was the antithesis of it.

If Tua and the rest of the team doesn't respond next week against the Pats at home, the drums for their dismissal will be sounding loud early.

I think the worst part is that we looked like a really poorly coached team, completely unprepared. Bad fundamentals, bad communication, just bad.

McDaniel has gotten worse and worse year after year.  The players may like him but they don't respect him, he should resign.
