No doubt the defense has issues, but we would be up 2-3 scores right now had we not had the two bad turnovers, the missed wide open TD throw, etc

Comparing one game to whole seasons makes total sense right

Yet we have scored more points when he is not. So the record, his MVP trophy case, and our Points Per Game say otherwise.

That too. But we should be up if not for the dumb mistakes by the offense

How is the run D this bad. Its wild. Im ready for regime change if they cant get their s**t together and fast

People wanted this. They wanted the old Josh. Well here you go, you got him. The guy who led the league in turnovers over his first 4 years or what not. The guy who pushes the ball when he shouldn't be. I mean Ty is wide open for the easiest first down, who according to Josh is the best 3rd down back in the NFL, yet he isn't even looking for him on 4th and 2 and instead trying to first look down field.

And on 4th and 2 - WTF is he looking to push the ball down field, just get the first down.

Anyone still want to argue Josh is playing great and not a big part of the issue in these losses? I love Josh, but damn, this is on him right now.

His stats are better this year at the same time as last year. But I will say his decision making, footwork, pocket presence and vision all seem to be inconsistent this season even though statistically he still produces.

“After successfully freeing the Detroit Lions from ‘The Curse of Bobby Layne,’ Peyton Manning gets ambushed by former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Tasker and the Bills Mafia, who demand Peyton lift ‘The Buffalo Sports Curse.’" Um whose gonna tell him...they have the same number of SB trophies as the Bills. Given they were snake bitten with injuries all year in their best season for a SB win maybe in franchise history last year, I am not seeing how he lifted their "curse". lol

Well if I had to watch this team on film I would have a drinking problem too

I mean his career average is almost 15 ypc, so not sure why its not that realistic. And TB isn't a great Secondary, so he can easily get a 20+ yard catch in this game. With both Kincaid and Palmer out, I think he gets a little more deeper looks than some of the short stuff they throw him on check downs this game.

Love the optimism but I don't that is very realistic the way we use him. A more realistic optimistic stat line might be more like 5 rec, 77 yards, and a TD. My expectation - 3 rec, 48 yards, 0 TDs. I think this is going to be a big Cook game. Down Palmer and Kincaid, I have a hard time seeing Brady looking to dial up the passing game unfortunately. A guy I do like streaming this week in DFS is Shakir though. I think Shakir ends up with like 7-8 catches, 80-100 yards and a TD.

Gruden? I don't get the infatuation with this guy. He was fired in TB because he lost the locker room. Him and his bone head GM made god awful decisions and choices in his last stint with the Raiders, and he hasn't had very many double digit win seasons. Im a hard pass on Gruden. A guy who would be very high on my list and very realistic if a change was ever made is: Brian Flores. This guy got more out of his rosters than most, he knows defense (our biggest achiles heal in the playoff losses), and is just a great coach in my eyes. Higher the right OC to pair with him, and this is the kind of coach that could really impact this team. I don't want to hear about "he is a defensive HC" nonsense, so is Vrabel and he is again killing it as a HC. And quite honestly, we are the best in the NFL since Josh arrived at scoring points, we suck at preventing points in the post season though. Also, I would be up for Belichick if he can also lure McDaniels to join him here.

Ive been saying for weeks, they need to pick ONE of Samuel or Moore to focus on getting regularly involved in the passing game. And I always felt that guy was Moore as I think he has a higher ceiling as a downfield WR/Threat. With Palmer out, its mind blowing they didn't focus on getting Moore and Keon more consistently involved in the offense. Like run plays designed to get them open and the ball. Put them in their best positions to succeed out there and make an effort to make them part of the game plan. Keon is Mack Hollins 2.0 right now, where he is heavily used as a blocker when we need more from him as a receiver. I have yet to see a game plan where it was like lets move Keon around and get him going like Atlanta or Indy does with guys like London and Pittman who are also not burners. And Moore is the new McKenzie right now, they use him as a gadget guy and not really someone they seem to try and work into the passing game enough. I just want to see Brady use the tools he has better and smarter. Cook is under utilized as a receiver as well.
