Tua STILL Can't Catch A Break! NFL Week 3 Preview

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa walking off the field with his coach Mike McDaniel.


Just when you thought all those jiu jitsu classes helped Tua Tagovailoa put those concussion issues behind him, he suffers another one against the Bills when he ran into Damar Hamlin. Like with Tyrod Taylor, Tua's career is snakebitten where any type of success gets met with crushing adversity that makes you wonder who he pissed off to deserve such awful luck. He showed last season when healthy, he's one of the best QBs in the league but each concussion makes him more suspectable to another one so it's 50/50 on whether he finishes the season or not. I imagine that issue was why Miami waited so long to pay him because do you pay a star player who can't stay on the field or start someone who is not as talented but isn't injury prone? So once again people are saying he should retire as Skylar Thompson takes over. Oh God no!

Good thing they also signed Tyler Huntley from the Ravens practice squad because Skylar aint it. This team is too good to put a mid QB like Skylar (or Tim Boyle) behind center. It's too bad the NFL doesn't also have a flag football league. Tua doesn't intend on retiring if he gets cleared but his brain clearly can't take the impact of football. Flag would be a great compromise where Tua can continue playing football while avoiding all the hits that comes with tackle football.


THE GAMES



2024 NFL season week 3 New England Patriots vs New York Jets
New England Patriots   7
New York Jets               31

Aaron Rodgers is 2-2 vs the Patriots but now he gets to beat their ass as a divisional rival.


2024 NFL season week 3 New York Giants vs Cleveland Browns
New York Giants      17
Cleveland Browns   13

Both of these offenses are trash but the Browns defense will fuck up allowing a late Giants TD.


2024 NFL season week 3 Chicago Bears vs Indianapolis Colts
Chicago Bears          0
Indianapolis Colts   24

It's the battle of #31 offense and defense! This simulation doesn't seem right but oh well.


2024 NFL season week 3 Houston Texans vs Minnesota Vikings
Houston Texans       19
Minnesota Vikings   26

Sam Darnold is a top 10 QB. Never thought I would type that after how his career started.


2024 NFL season week 3 Philadelphia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints
Philadelphia Eagles   30
New Orleans Saints   34

People who were mad at how much dick riding of the Eagles ESPN was doing on MNF was thrilled to see Dem Birds lose to the Dirty Birds. Like goddamn, I get Jason Kelce joined them but ESPN don't even ride the Cowboys this hard when they do their games. Eagles fans thought they had this game won but that 30th ranked defense came back to bite them in the ass. Kirk Cousins drove down the field in front of Matt Ryan and won the game for them. Philly fans are gonna be sick to their stomachs following that loss with taking a L to Michael Jackson.


2024 NFL season week 3 Los Angeles Chargers vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Los Angeles Chargers   21
Pittsburgh Steelers        17

The Steagles will lose but hey, girls flag football is now a sanctioned high school sport in Pennsylvania! That makes them the 13th state to do so including California, Florida and New York. I'm surprised Texas isn't on the list since they love football so much. You're telling me there're not enough girls playing it in Texas but there are in fucking ALASKA!?! Eventually it will be sanctioned nationwide then it will be played in colleges, pro leagues and on ESPN/ABC.


2024 NFL season week 3 Denver Broncos vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denver Broncos               20
Tampa Bay Buccaneers   7

I guess that 9th ranked defense is too much for Baker Mayfield to handle.


2024 NFL season week 3 Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans
Green Bay Packers   0
Tennessee Titans      6

As much as Titans QB Will Levis got shitted on by his coach, I'm shocked he's still on this team. The Titans have the #1 defense so I figured they would just cut his ass and start Mason Rudolph. He could go have fun in the UFL, CFL, ELF or wherever for all they care. Instead, he's still here and will work on limiting mistakes. This looks like it will be a close game so just don't turn the ball over doing something stupid and let the defense and K Nick Folk win it for you Will.


2024 NFL season week 3 Carolina Panthers vs Las Vegas Raiders
Carolina Panthers     14
Las Vegas Raiders    30

The Panthers are such a shitshow, fans already have bags over their heads. Like damn, they ruined ANOTHER QB in Bryce Young as they benched him in favor of Andy Dalton. Like with Sam Darnold and Baker, he needs to get the fuck away from that dumpster fire and go to a franchise that actually knows what the fuck they're doing. Unfortunately, only a handful of teams would fit that bill and they have no need to hoard misused QBs. Thank God for the UFL.


2024 NFL season week 3 Miami Dolphins vs Seattle Seahawks
Miami Dolphins       24
Seattle Seahawks   26

In other news, Robbie was Chosen to be released from the Dolphins practice squad.


2024 NFL season week 3 Detroit Lions vs Arizona Cardinals
Detroit Lions            20
Arizona Cardinals   40

These teams are fairly even but the Cards will double up the Lions. Aint that something.


2024 NFL season week 3 Baltimore Ravens vs Dallas Cowboys
Baltimore Ravens  37
Dallas Cowboys     44

I'm ready to call the Cowboys frauds but the Ravens might be bigger frauds this year.


2024 NFL season week 3 San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco 49ers  16
Los Angeles Rams     44

If the Niners turn out to be frauds, you can blame EA for placing their RB on the cover of their video game. Nothing good happens when you entrust Electronic Arts with your cherished assets.


2024 NFL season week 3 Kansas City Chiefs vs Atlanta Falcons
Kansas City Chiefs   30
Atlanta Falcons         26

Despite the Chiefs' piss poor defense, I don't see a Kirk Cousins comeback on SNF.


2024 NFL season week 3 Jacksonville Jaguars vs Buffalo Bills
Jacksonville Jaguars   16
Buffalo Bills                  31

Despite the illogical booking by Tony Kahn, AEW reportedly has a 4 year, $170 million per year deal with WBD. It boggles my mind how the fuck, WHY THE FUCK, would WBD want to continue investing in AEW where all their programing combined gets less views than an episode of Smackdown! Even if that complete waste of time Rampage gets cancelled, their new show Shockwave will suck just as bad if not worse. Is there not college volleyball or soccer they could show on Wednesday nights that would outdraw AEW? Like damn, Smackdown regularly had over a million viewers yet FOX gladly booted them for college football. You would think after layoffs and shutting down Cartoon Network's website, they would want to save some money but nope, they're giving more money to someone who makes Vince Russo competent.


2024 NFL season week 3 Washington Commanders vs Cincinnati Bengals
Washington Commanders    34
Cincinnati Bengals                41

Commanders kicker Austin Seibert singlefootedly beat the Giants 21-18 as the G-Men gave up on kicking when their punter Jamie Gillan missed a PAT after K Graham Gano got injured. Sadly he won't get the chance to put the FOOT in Football with 14 field goals against Cincy.


LAST WEEK:  9-7
OVERALL:    20-12
