I think the tiger wins for the same reasons grid stated if I'm not missing something about Postosuchus. It's higher off the ground than a modern crocodile and the tiger can potentially bowl it over and get a throat bite. If it gets on postosuchus back, then its over because postosuchus can't reach behind it to defend itself. Sorry and isn't this section of the forum suppose to be about debating on who you think would win though? Also I didn't mean to be rude and if I was. I apologize. I didn't mean to it. Sorry, I wasn't mad or anything, it was just funny to me that in the interspecies conflict section we rarely ever actually argue, we state our opinions, and continue onward. In the old carnivora you say one thing, and you have millions of others arguing with you, which is what I assume a forum is about.I guess it's hard because we all joined this forum to escape from all the jerks on Carnivora, however it turns out that we might actually need those jerks to make this place enjoyable. What? That's not debating. That's groupie bashing which is a coward's way. No individual deserves to be ganged up on, bashed, threatened, and slandered by multiple users.

Postosuchus wins. It has armor and has better weaponry.

Postosuchus, bigger and more formidable bite.

I vote for Postosuchus since it was a bit bigger and the fact it's jaws look like it could do much more damage. As much as it pains me to say it, I don't think the reptile has much going for it. Unlike a crocodile Postosuchus appears to be in the perfect shape for a Tiger to tackle. Being lifted off the ground means the tiger can easily get a throat bite, and it doesn't look like it's exactly the most agile creature out there, so it won't be avoiding the Tiger's assault. Unless it is more agile than I'm giving it credit for, the cat's got this one. Postosuchus was actually quite deadly. Its dagger-like serrated teeth and powerful jaws (though not especially/exceptionally, as hey were still relatively narrow) are no joke. Actually, being a terrestrial animal, postosuchus would actually be a much faster and more agile animal on land than modern crocodilians. Postosuchus wins for these reasons

Postosuchus is a bit bigger and it can certainly deal out damage with the bite it's got. Though, the tiger can likely penetrate the armor if it bites the neck and is undeniably an agile animal. 50/50.

I think an important thing to note is that the tiger will need to stand on its hindlimbs in order to grapple with the forelimbs. And when it's only on its two hindlimbs, it'll be at a disadvantage in balance/stability. Postosuchus, likely being an obligate biped, would have much stronger hindlimbs that are better suited for stability, thus it'd have a stability advantage in a scenario where the cat is on its two hindlimbs while grappling with the forelimbs. Likewise, unlike the tiger, the "rauisuchian" has a long, beefy tail for balance too, and the latter's pedal unguals are guaranteed to be better for stability as well (a tiger's pedal unguals are also retractable weapons, and I doubt when its on its hindlimbs, the tiger will retract them and plant them to the ground, not that they'd be as good for weight bearing as Postosuchus'), for what it's worth. And if the tiger decides to use a hindlimb for grappling, what's stopping Postosuchus from pushing/knocking the tiger down to the ground to maul it? Therefore, while the felid obviously has better forelimbs for gripping onto things, when it's using them it won't be as stable as its opponent, likely to a considerable degree IMO. So I think it might be the case that f the tiger tries to grapple with the forelimbs, Postosuchus might just be able to knock it down and proceed to maul it (also, do note that Postosuchus itself apparently had some raptorial forelimbs, so that could somewhat aid in the aforementioned action too). I think Postosuchus would likely hold an advantage in jaws as well, so at alike weights, maybe it wins.
