Guys, 1 missed game from Pittman and we don’t have quality depth for another to even play outside. Our offensive cupboard is light, and our defensive scheme will be better with more aggression because you can’t have quality draft picks at every defensive position

Oh Gus stunk today, but the offense was 10 times worse and mostly to blame for today’s game. Defense was holding them to 3 


At least you acknowledged Gus stunk. Yeah our O was the worse of the 2 phases, no doubt but we don’t have Peyton or Luck to compensate for deficits, so sometimes a change in defensive game plans quicker than usual could infuse change in team fortunes within a game. That’s the frustration with Gus. So I’m not making excuses for Gus either but it was one of Steichen’s bad play calling games, IMO.

This loss is disappointing but doesn't really bother me. A lot of football left. We need to win our last 2 games, we do that, then everything will fall in place. 1 loss isn't dooms day lmao 

 

If the Bucs win today, Colts have a chance to win the division if Jags continue to lose.

 

But the Jags have the Panthers and the Titans to end the season.

A lot of your expect Minshew to play like an elite QB is worrisome 🤣🤣


…which is precisely why we expect Gus to throw a wrench or wrinkle to help out the O early before it’s too late

Another important game for the colts.

The Betting line should be concerning to colt fans. 

 

The Steelers bouncing back and the Bengals laying a egg should also be concerning. If the Steelers are to move up over the colts in the wild card standings, the Steelers will need for the colts to lose twice. Of course I'm sure there are other paths where both teams make it. 

 

Christmas gift for everyone:

3 team parlay on money line,

Eagles

Chiefs

Packers

....will yield you nearly even odds

 

Merry Christmas to all

 

The concerns turned out to be VALID!

 

My 3 team Parlay is still alive.

That fumble we should have had to start the 2nd half was rough. We get that who knows? We didn't and they score instead. That was game IMO.


I would agree but that were absolutely horrid on the remainder of that drive.  They literally had no resistance that drive. 
 

The other unacceptable item was allowing the  3rd and long conversion on WR bubble screen when it was 20-10. That’s basically a let’s see if we get fortunate call by the offense and we let them convert it.

 

I gotta say considering the opponent, etc this was the most frustrating game to watch as a fan this year.

So we laid a goose egg then?

Really? You think we can do anything in playoffs?

I didn't expect to make playoffs. If we do great we are going in the right direction

And they were up 27-7 at halftime, but have been shut out in the 2nd Half.

 

I was shocked by the score because I believe that Trevor Siemian was the Jets starting QB today. He played for the Vikings one year. He is pretty bad.

Greg Zuerlein kicked a gamewinning 54 yard field goal for the Jets with about 10 seconds remaining.

 

He is such an underrated Kicker. When I played FF for fun, I wanted to make sure I had him as the kicker. I think he was with the Rams back then.

He got us in position for our only TD,... all our WRs played bad today.  Granson was a bright spot.  That's about it.

Great he got us in position to score our only TD. But I have seen enough of him. He is a non factor and has been all season. Give the reps to someone else. And I am willing to eat crow if things change. We cut Shaq for not producing why not sit Pierce.

If you've watched all the games, he gets open plenty, and is a good blocker too.  He had one bad drop.  It was a drive killer, but I'm not writing him off because of it.  Downs had two drops, but nobody is complaining about him....

Yeah but he's the #2 and he needs to  step up and show his worth.

    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.  
    • Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
