Bones and tendon attachment points give us a clue as to their weight. Plus, no escaping the square cube law, they could only be so massive.

Earth seems to have topped out with the Blue Whale. Guessing the fatty pictured would mass more and not have the benefit of being suspended in water. :)

Maybe the asteroid impact actually changed the rotational speed of the planet and increased gravity. There, I just created a new theory.

What a shitty way to go that would have been for the dinosaurs and any other giant species. Imagine some ELE hitting humankind but sparing all the little people.
