Josh Jacobs gonna truck him I fear.

Idk about the process but sometimes I think McD is fundamentally different, philosophically and temperamentally, than his stars on offence, who are high strung and sometimes overly aggressive. I wonder whether some of his in game decisions can have an adverse effect on momentum. I could be wrong but I didn’t agree with the decision to decline the 10 yard penalty in favour of forcing a fourth down and field goal attempt. To me it shows a lack of appreciation of the risk/reward profile. The most likely outcome if you accept the call is that the field goal attempt must negotiate a longer distance. Maybe doesn’t mean that much given the field position but I’d take it. After that there is probably as much a chance of a TO than there is of Wilson being able to accomplish a long third down conversion. This is Wilson, not Arod. Those three points were given away and they wound up being important.

Brady should be Allen’s OC. Tom Brady.

Perhaps the best example of what characterized his game last night. He’s an intelligent guy but he seemed mentally challenged to the point of absurdity.

Dalton Kincaid is ready to play. A rook in his first game in the league and he looked every bit a veteran and a playmaker. im out on a limb but I think he is going to be a great player.

Terrible. The whole night was a freak show nightmare. Bad for us. Worse, much worse for the Jets. The D can only take them so far. Where are they going to find a QB.

This. Two big backs and they run Cook between the tackles. Cook can certainly contribute but he shouldn't be confused with J.Gibbs who is bigger and can break tackles. Gibbs can do anything Cook can do. Cook cannot do all that Gibbs can do.

What I found interesting about your post was the suggestion that McD and Beane maybe don't always exactly see eye to eye, which would mean that they are not on the same page as to the type of football team you want and are trying to be. I thought this might be evidenced by our drafts. Did Beane really think moving up in the third for Bernard was a good idea? Idk. If this is even partly a reason for what we are seeing the problem runs deep and is serious requiring some basic change of direction. I see McD's reluctance to use rookies as just another aspect of his deeply conservative approach.

Its just speculation on my part but I've often felt that McD, a conservative, defensive minded coach, probably has an outsized influence on our drafts.

Who did they pass on him for...oh yeah, healthy scratch.

Diggs is not the problem. I'd love to hear what he thinks the problem is (not that I ever will).

I wondered who #8 was. Thought it was a woman in a football uni.

bring in the paperboy!

Bills are a veteran team, and a good one. On offence the Jets have got to be a work in progress that has been thrown together. I like the Bills tonight.

I find the mute button works wonders.

Could there be an Elam trade in the works? To me he has the makings of a good man corner.

The poster was quite insightful. Actually the Bears got it right in 2018 with R. Smith who absolutely was and was worth a top 10 pick. In quickly comparing Smith’s 5 years Raven’s contract with Tremaine’s 4 year deal, they are not far apart. 20 versus 18 per. Sort of wonder if the Bears might not have been well advised to pay the extra guaranteed amount and bigger signing bonus component to keep Roquan.

Clever Staley figured out all he had to do is stop the Finns run game.

Yeah, like just stopping Kelce.

Lol

Wowser

Lousy rule. That's a turnover. Caught it and jarred loose.

Wet little hands

and their secondary has been very good.

Yep I saw it on the replay.
