Offensive line is getting shredded again. It’s really not complicated lol look at philly today. Did sirianni forget how to coach or did their offense give up a ton of pressure?

Offensive line is cooked huh

They probably trust the defense against the giants backed up…whether they should or not is a different story 🤣

People forget we’re not bad anymore and we’re drafting in the late first now typically lol he clearly didn’t work out but that’s pretty common for late first round picks

He’s a bust…if there’s something you can’t fault the coaching staff for it’s developing dbs. They’ve gotten a ton out of everyone but elam

Idk what you can do when the ref just doesn’t throw the flag like he clearly got held. Hard to fault the play caller there

I mean that 3rd down play was a td he just got held and it wasn’t called

Their feet didn’t get tangled in any way lol…giants player tripped and held

7 points off the board there on a pretty clear trip huh

Browns don’t seem like a good matchup for us so I can’t feel happy for them winning even if Watson isn’t involved lol

That other situation was likely on a different yard line and the opponent had less timeouts. There was also no reason for them not to trust their defense that held philly to 14 all game up to that point

Yea seriously I am stunned people are criticizing that lol if the jets got the ball on like the 25 or something then yea maybe you can pick up a first down and kill the clock/phillys timeouts but they were on the 8 and the eagles had two timeouts. They were gonna have plenty of time regardless

Idk how they could’ve ran time off the clock? Interception return was to the 8 and the eagles had timeouts. It’s not like there was an extra set of downs they could’ve gotten if you get too cute you risk only putting up 3 instead of 7 and the eagles have plenty of time for a game winning fg

This has probably been touched on in this thread but I’m pretty sure tyrod is better than Daniel jones lol

They were a middling roster then they had a bunch of injuries. Idk that they’re tanking I think they’re just that bad talent wise at this point Deciding to tank in the midst of the season is pretty tough cuz the players are all playing for future contracts.

Have other teams simply tried to injure our entire defensive line? Lol

Compared to his standards yea but compared to the league he’s been good lol

Yea to me this interview is pretty unforgivable like you can’t admit you just don’t know if one team will have a competitive advantage or not. We can all argue about how much of a role it actually played and say no excuses yada yada but the nfl officially scheduled this not knowing how it will play out One thing that will never make any sense to me is how that was a home game…one team is already there and they’re the away team? Lol

Oh there’s tons of criticism warranted haha they did not play well and I absolutely agree that the receivers past diggs were an issue. the offensive line which has been solid all season got steamrolled in this one also. I think Kincaid will be a very reliable slot option if he gets the opportunity but he and Knox are busy chipping for Spencer brown who needs a lot of help when he draws a tougher offensive line matchup. Then everyone criticizes the usage of Knox/Kincaid a little bit unjustly imo. by comfortably I meant a one score win that didn’t really feel like was in a lot of danger of getting away from us…I’m not trying to say we would’ve blown them out which seems like is what you took out of the sentence which is fair based on the wording but not really what I meant. Criticism in general is welcomed and certainly warranted after that game I just respectfully disagree with a lot of the directions the criticisms have gone. They feel really hindsight-y and cherry picked at times especially when people try to evaluate offensive playcalling. Like obviously if you know your team is going to drop every single wide open third down pass before it happens you’d know you had to start attacking deeper downfield on earlier downs just as one example. I’m sure Dorsey was losing his mind in the booth watching that go down 😂. and then things like ‘Knox and Kincaid should be running deeper routes and not chipping’…that’s easy to say now because we lost but there’s a good chance if we tried that in the game things would’ve gone even worse with how much stress the offensive line was already under. The defense is kind of getting a free pass also based on the circumstances which I completely understand, but the offense had bad field position all game long because the jaguars were converting a lot of third downs and driving the ball downfield without a lot of resistance Poor offensive line, bad field position, stone hands on third down, diggs getting a ball wrestled out of his hands, defensive injuries all played a part in that loss and I just think we’re exaggerating the state of the team based on the results of this one game. Milano and jones may be done for the year but a lot of the defensive players we lost will certainly be returning

Completely agreed…I’m surprised more people don’t see it this way. Brown will likely need some help against good dlines but I wouldn’t expect Dawkins to get bulldozed in the vast majority of games. this game was the perfect storm of bad offensive line play, key drops, a ridiculously good defensive play by the jaguars,a rash of injuries on the defensive side for the bills maybe some of which was exacerbated by the scheduling. Either way I wouldn’t really expect those things to occur on a week to week basis

I’m not sure what ‘not built for the playoffs’ means in this context…who is the afc playoff team that looks like the total package and doesn’t have exploitable weaknesses on the defensive side? Miami certainly does, KC the defense has improved at the expense of the offense, cincy hasn’t looked the same since Jessie bates left who is playing great in Atlanta, the chargers defense is historically terrible. maybe if the browns came out of the north they could give us some trouble but I’m not seeing a lot of other teams that would. Super Bowl you’ve gotta assume will be the niners or eagles which is not a great matchup but it’s a single game at that point and anything can happen. If we were in the nfc I’d agree with you cuz there’s a good chance you’re seeing two of Dallas/philly/SF in a playoff run then whoever you get in the superbowl

What? The jags were using a ton of simulated pressure to get free rushers blitzing josh and your answer is to hold the ball longer? Lol that is entirely the opposite of what you should do. What you are describing is when the defense blitzes and your offensive line can actually slow it down or pick it up which they very much couldn’t. this is just what I don’t understand about the negative posters after that game. We were throughly dominated in the trenches for the first time all season and absolutely need to clean that up, but people wanted deeper routes and less help sent the offensive lines way? I can’t wrap my head around it. You’re playing to win not playing to rack up stats for your rookie tight end so you can feel good about drafting him 😂 silver lining of this one is that’s the best josh has ever looked by a long shot when his offensive line forgets how to play football. I’d liken that to the bengals playoff game with how dominated the oline was and he played significantly better with taking the underneath stuff when he had to and taking the deep shot when it was warranted

I think you misunderstand…I did not say their defenses overall were juggernauts. They have been loaded with quality pass rushers though. And if a defenses strength is pass rushers and not much else, you’d be crazy not to chip with TEs it just doesn’t make sense not to do that. You shorten one route to buy your qb time to expose a ton of problems in the secondary. idk how they’ll finish but the jags played a pretty much perfect defensive game on Sunday. I think they’re more than likely top 10 in defensive DVOA. I guess that final point depends on how you look at it. 12 personnel gives them an unparalleled way to give their RT help in a tough matchup imo, but if you’re only looking for passing yards for some reason and not wins then that changes the equation. There are teams like kc where the big time pass rusher plays inside where our more competent players are and I think you’ll see more of the routes out of the TEs that you’re looking for. this board is pretty funny with everyone banging the drum on three separate issues which have a single solution to fix all of them but people still complain when we do the thing that fixes all of them 🤣. People have been calling for a reliable Beasley-esque slot guy that can catch the tough underneath throws in traffic, help for Spencer brown, and a weapon that takes some attention away from diggs and Kincaid has proven capable of doing all of those things so far despite the jags defense having a whale of a game and all the injuries and the scheduling etc we were a few execution issues away from winning comfortably. it gets so frustrating in here after a loss 😂. Dorsey getting blamed because what he was doing wasn’t ‘clever’ it didn’t have to be clever it just had to be properly executed and it wasn’t. Peoples answer to drives blowing up because players are dropping wide open passes in the middle of the field and the oline getting blown up is to make the offense more complicated and send our tight ends out on deeper, longer developing routes? Just doesn’t make sense to me simultaneously saying oh sugar high josh is back trying to do too much and will lose the game then turning it around and criticizing him for taking checkdowns when the pocket is collapsing doesn’t make sense to me

Depends entirely on what the defense is doing…we didn’t run the ball much on Sunday because the jags had pretty much everyone in the box. They were clogging up the underneath stuff and shutting down the run then they ran a bunch of impressive simulated pressures to prevent us from having enough time to work the ball down the field all at the same time. I mean everyone is sad that we lost that’s understandable but with how well the jags defense played I thought josh showed a ton of maturity. That was the kind of game where he has completely melted down in the past. I think you need a josh Allen(defensive player lol) who can line up anywhere and do anything to replicate that jags defensive game plan and only really the cowboys have that of the teams we have left on the schedule

In the context of a game where dudes were dropping wide open passes and the offensive line was getting flagged all day, it’s pretty hard to criticize a qb for throwing a 50-60 yard rope and hitting his guy after having to reset in the pocket. People makin it sound like he could just step into that one from a clean pocket but that is not at all what happened lol had to drop back right into his own end zone and throw that one over a linebacker jumping right in his face which prevented him from fully stepping into it. Certainly wasn’t a perfect throw but it was a great one. He threw that ball nearly 60 yards virtually flat footed. Watch that short stride he has to take in the replay I’m not even sure he could’ve physically thrown it any farther like that. It looked like he was loading up to throw an absolute bomb and the time ran out on it to me
