The Texans have to be the least-interesting/boring/unwatchable team in the league this year.

I believe they try and give every team 1 and the max for any 1 team is 5 (13 teams have 5 this year)

***Okay i was wrong the Lions did not get a prime time game for next season but they were the only one. and everyone is probly okay with it lol

Sunday night can go up to 7 with no more than 5 of one team I believe.

I may need to cancel my Sunday NFL ticket then.  


Of course, if I do, I will kick myself in the rear at some point.

I'm curious to what posters think about the Tua v Burrow prime time match up? I have already seen online articles hyping it as a clash between two exceptional QBs that were high draft picks. I kind of found it odd because Tua hasn't had the same level of success as Burrow. I fully expect the Bengals to crush the Dolphins with Tua, at best, playing an average game. Maybe a TD, a pick, and 200 yards or so at best.

Burrow's talent exceeds Tua's talent. Right?

LOL Tua might not even be their starter at that point

I think that Tua is an interesting QB. A lot of people dump on him, but he hasn't had the greatest supporting cast since arriving in Miami, had a coaching staff that didn't want him and has struggled with injuries. All of this, aside from maybe the injuries (who knows) have been remedied. The addition of Tyreek could be huge, especially for Waddle on the opposite side. 

I'd vote for Tua to be a surprise player at QB this season.

The Lions have Thanksgiving, which one could argue is their prime time game.  

Very interesting schedule.  Should definitely have some extra motivation going on the road under the lights!

He’s probably the 12th or 13th best QB in the AFC. Guys I’d put Tua ahead of?

Davis Mills
Zach Wilson
Trubisky/Pickett

That’s about it. They obviously added some nice pieces for him, but I’m not sure it will be enough to keep up in the arms race (no pun intended) that is the AFC.

I just need some loving reassurances from peeps here at The Bengals Board. Hold me and tell me Burrow is indeed better.

I'm inclined to agree, but that is because the AFC is a murderer's row of QBs. 

Burrow
Watson
Herbert
Allen
Jackson
R. Wilson
Mahomes

I mean, that is just ABSURD. Then, you throw in guys like Carr and Tannehill who are strong QBs themselves. I'm not meaning to argue that Tua is a great QB. I just think that he has been dealt a tough hand to start off and his play reflects that. I think he has a chance to turn it around this season and shift the narrative.

dont forget Matt Ryan also join the AFC

Just a bummer most of prime time games are in division... and away. NFL IMO screwed Cincy coming off a SB appearance.

You wouldn't put Tua ahead of Lawrence right now?

2021:
Lawrence (17 games) - 602 attempts, 59.6% completion, 3641 yards, 12 TDs, 17 INTs
Tagovailoa (13 games) - 388 attempts, 67.8% completion, 2653 yards, 16 INTs, 10 INTs

I know Lawrence didn't have the greatest weapons, but he had Marvin Jones (still a quality WR2), 2020 first rounder Shenault, DJ Chark (but only played 4 games), and James Robinson. That's still better than some teams have had.

I'll be interested to see both of these guys this year since both teams upgraded the offensive weapons and also got new HCs.
JAX - Kirk, Marvin Jones, Shenault, Engram, Robinson
MIA - Hill, Gesicki, Waddle, Cedric Wilson, Mostert/Edmonds

No. Lawrence is a far better QB. Sometimes you have to just throw out the numbers and actually watch them play. Plus, he had one of the most toxic coaching situations in recent memory.

Yep, good thing Burrow plays his best under the bright lights. It is time to start owning the Browns now.

We just started with the other 2 in the Division last year, need to keep that up especially need to keep it up with the Stoolers.

I expect to split with the Ravens if they are healthy, we might lose that game in Primetime on Sunday Night.

They will be looking for revenge similar to us with the Browns when they beat us up pretty good last season the first time around.

We'll have to wait and see then.
I guess I think Tua can/will be better than you do, and I don't think Lawrence is that great right now.

Doesn't mean Lawrence won't become great, but I don't think he's there yet.

Also, I'm not going to sit there and watch a bunch of games of Tua and Lawrence to make some "expert" determination.
I don't have the time nor interest.
So maybe my opinion is off, but I'm not going to invest that much time to change my opinion.

I have to lean Nicomo's way on this. Lawrence was put in an even worse situation than Tua was and is far more talented.

Expect to see Lawrence to be the better QB when all is said and done if they put a good OL and some weapons around him.

Tua might be better this year with all the Phins put around him, he better be or there is no hope for him.

I didn't think we were talking about talent to be better. I thought we were talking about who was better right now.
I do think Lawrence will end up being the better QB down the road, but I wouldn't say he's better right now (although I haven't seen how much they've improved in the offseason yet).
