I am hearing a lot of Jets fans wanting to tank for Trevor.

 

No one should mistake the Jets for a top team.

Power ranked #32 lol.. 

IMO it's not Darnold though. They need more OL help. They got a good T piece this year in the draft, but that's not near enough. And they lost a lot of high quality players and didn't replace them (like Adams). I'm not a huge Darnold fan by any means, but he could easily be top 16 on a team with solid supporting cast.

Kind of shows how it's a team game and more than just the qb.

I don't understand why they would put that stiff Brissett into the game when they could give Eason some real game experience.

 

Two things, not active on the game day roster and likely doesn't even have 1/3 of the playbook memorized. This season is tougher on rookies this year than most any previous season.

Wait, Doyle was suited up???

 

Yes, but heard on radio that MAC got most of the 1st team reps, thus the better chemistry with Rivers on display.

When was the last time we GOTV to bench our QB in the 4th lol. Don’t ever want to see Jacoby for a real game. Still same stuff as last season where he won’t stay in the pocket. Here are some thoughts.

 

TY is back. He doesn’t need one hundred yard games with how we spread the ball.

 

Rivers and this offense look great. We do need to get better in the red zone and 3rd down.

 

MO looked great again

Fountain with some huge catches. I hope he gets to stay on the 53 with a couple players due to come back from IR.

 

Defense looked shaky to start but they got it together and dominated which isn’t hard against the jets. This was a step forward dominating a team we needed too.

A very professional win! The team did its job. Won't get too carried away by this performance because the Jets are an abomination of a team and have been decimated by injuries to add to it. But yeah... overall I like that we took care of business, didn't underestimate them and didn't let up. Good job, Colts... On to the next one.

Bring on the Bears! I wonder if they have a budding QB controversy, after Mitch Trubisky got the Bears to 2-0, then fell behind to the Falcons 23-10 with 3 punts & a pick before he was pulled today in favor of “St Nick” Foles, who was able to lead Chicago to  victory and get the Bears to 3-0.

Poor Phillip, he didnt get to play much today.

 

Missed most of 1st quarter(Pick 6 and Jets long drive) and most the 4th.

Winning beats stats every time.  It's so weird to see Rivers on a team that can win games without him carrying them on his back.

 

Meanwhile, the Chargers lost to the Panthers today after everyone was hyping up Herbert all week.

I don’t see how Matt Nagy can replace Trubisky as the starter without causing a ruckus in the locker room - some of those veterans have got to be loyal to Mitch, not the "hired gun" that is Nick Foles.

But Trubisky is a bad QB.  I watched his 13 games in college, and the fact that he was drafted so high still makes me scratch my head.

Yeah I know, I posted that as they showed Rivers on the TV, looked like he was still amped up to play.

 

Made me realize he only played a little over 2 quarters. Lol

If I were calling the shorts for the Chargers, I’d start Justin Herbert going forward – he runs just as well as Tyrod Taylor and throws better. He’s a rookie and still learning, wheras Taylor is a career backup who has had an opportunity to start in the past and didn’t do much with it. Bottom line: Herbert represents the future of the Chargers and Taylor does not, so why not let the rookie take his lumps & learn right now, they’d be much better for it.

Nick Foles is a career backup, who had 1 very good postseason and earned a ring in the process but every time he’s had the opportunity to start for a team, his limitations reveal themselves.

I agree that Herbert should be starting over Taylor.

 

My main point was that everyone claimed the Chargers had a loaded roster and that Rivers was holding them back.  The truth is that they have a lot of issues, a terrible coach, and a terrible front office.

Yeah, I hear that and understand who Foles is.

 

But still, Trubisky is not a franchise QB.

I do think they have a loaded roster, but I never felt that Philip Rivers was holding them back. Rivers is what kept them from being the Browns or Bengals in a couple of seasons during the leaner years. I agree that the coach has been a liability, but I think the GM has done a pretty good job of stocking the roster with lots of talent, but it has been misused by questionable personnel decisions by Anthony Lynn, most notably undrafted rookie kicker Younghoe Koo over veteran Josh Lambo, and RB Melvin Gordon starting after his holdout over Austin Eckeler.

Neither is Nick Foles. He was drafted by the Eagles to back up Michael Vick, he was given his chance after injuries to Vick and didn’t do much. From there he bounced around to the Rams & Chiefs, before returning to the Eagles to back up Carson Wentz. When Wentz got hurt, Foles stepped up and got his postseason glory. He parlayed that to a big money contract with the Jaguars, where he broke his collarbone in Week 1 and when he returned, he was ineffective and got beaten out by rookie Gardner Minshew. Foles never won a game while playing for Jacksonville, but the Bears brought him in to compete with Mitch Trubisky and the latter beat him out.

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By smittywerb · Posted

      This contract makes me think about the other receivers who will now get contracts and how are the teams going to go about it:   Jamarr Chase:  he’s definitely getting $28million or more.  I don’t see Higgins staying unless there are numerous reworks and pay cuts from other teammates.  I’m sure Boyd and Burton will be their WR2 and WR3 in the future.  Bengals will definitely pick up his 5th year option, but what will happen in 2026?   CeeDee Lamb:  he’s getting paid also.  He’s gotten better every year and last year was a MONSTER year for him.  Let’s see what Jerry does.  He has Dak and Ceedee to pay and both are going to command some big contracts.     seems like aiyuk is the last one because I’m pretty sure anyone else will either have their 5th year option picked up or have gotten paid.   props to Ballard for getting Pittman paid before the top dogs like JJ set the market.

      Gotcha. Wentz was  one of the most talented qbs in the league based on physical traits. The Colts, in their assessment of Wentz, didn't realize they were not getting the same player mentally. I am not a Wentz apologist but I do,  and said it at the time, the Oline needed to take some responsibility in what he became. He was battered and bruised by the lack of protection and I think the beating he took in Philly and the early one he took with the Colts, knocked whatever was left of a starting qb in that body and mind. The point I am making is this. We can say he is our franchise LT and say he played really well and is deserved of a  big 2nd contract.  If one were just to look at it objectively.  Say fans and Colts media have him rated as a 7.5 and based on Cosell's comments he has him as a 5.0. Do you think Cosell could be so way off in his evaluation of Raimann? That is just what I found interesting. I mean I could say Cosell say that Raimann was say average and go okay, we can live with that. To say that he is not the answer and/or has not panned out is a different monster all together.
