How the hell is this offense putting up goose eggs over and over again in the first half of so many games.

If we never threw a single pass we would be more competitive in the first half of the last 5 games.

That will be a TD and we deserve every bit of trouble we are currently experiencing.

I guess for an offense that only plays in the second half of games we do pretty well. Just think what we could do if our offense played both halfs.

You only get so many mistakes a game before the games become exponentially harder to win. We like to burn up all those mistakes in the first half of many games and see what happens in the 4th.

Murray 4 carries 37 yards so that doesn't seem to be the reason.

We're averaging almost 7 yards per carry and under 4 per pass so we'll just keep throwing.

Why don't we just run the ball? Why do we have to throw it 75 percent of the time?

Whoever signs him he'll be on the next plane out .......... unless they find all his guns in his luggage. Then it might be a few days.

There is some irony in pointing out how good Moss was when starting yet criticizing Motor for doing nothing for 8 games even though the reason is that he was not starting.

Nevermind .............. he's clearly the best back in the NFL then. Clearly he'd have 20 rushing TD's if he was here because he is so good and our backs are not and it has nothing to do with the systems and playcallers. I was wrong and there was no point in anything I said ........... or if there was you clearly missed it but we'll just go with he's the best back in the NFL.

Call me crazy but I'm hoping by the end of the season I'm looking back and saying we picked the right time to play like crap and then the right time to get our crap together meaning we play our best football the rest of the year. It's not up to me. They have to play the games but here's to hoping.

yay we're still second ....................

broken hearts are for .................

Granted O'Connell didn't give the Jets the ball 4 times.

I mean the other option is the Jets win and we're in 3rd place in the division.

At the moment beating the Jets.

O'Connell doing what we couldn't.

returned that kick 80 yards ............ but only 13 of that was up the field.

Again I didn't say he's as good. They have similar capabilities. Cook doesn't see nearly enough touches to tell whether he could be as good as Ekeler and he's not a great blocker. They are both good runners but neither would be confused with a healthy Chubb or Barkley and they both are theoretically good pass catchers. Ekeler being the on who is actually good at it and Cook the one who seemingly should be good at it but again we don't throw to him so I say theoretically.

So he's a healthy Nick Chubb good? He's not. He's good at catching passes and he's in an offense that uses him almost to perfection. He's probably not even Kamara good but he's on the right team. Cook is probably very similar to Ekeler but we don't use him very well. Motor is probably as good a runner as Ekeler and probably half the receiver. Again the right back in the right system. If Ekeler is here he would get 10 carries and average 50 yards a game and get a couple catches here and there just like everyone else.

Not sure what you're talking about ................ said right in the post that you quoted that I thought he's a decent back.

Don't forget the Giants/Dallas game which was super competitive. DeVito should be starting somewhere next year for sure.

Jets have scored more points in the first half than we have in 3 out our last 4 games 4 of our last 5 games.

He'd average 5 ypc but he'd only get 10 carries a game and average 900 yards per season.
