Top reasons we lost yesterday in order of importance: #1- the OL could not pick up stunts. (mental) #2- penalties. (mental) #3- EJ wasn't able to make SD pay for overloading the box. (mental and physical) #4- the 4 DL are playing the run at the expense of getting zero pressure on Rivers by themselves. (coaching mental)

guess it's time to check this guy out. he will be available soon.

the hoodie has no patience for players who beat themselves with mental mistakes.

bingo. they took away the run and EJ showed he's not good enough.

simple question, which is more important ? "both" is not an answer. it must be one or the other. #1 - winning this season. #2 - getting EJ experience for future seasons.

we are stuck with EJ at least thru to the bye week. EJ will NEVER be a Franchise QB (Top 10). EJ played like a mental midget yesterday.

deciding NOT to use 2 timeouts at the end of the 1st half. could have started that drive with over a minute remaining instead of 21 seconds.

UPDATED Season QB Rating thru week #3: EJ's Passer rating: Rank #18 EJ's Total QBR: Rank #32 average = 25th best.

but, but, but....this team is good enough that we only need a game manager at QB.....(sarcasm). and the wind stopped blowing when rivers had the ball (sarcasm). QB Rating: EJ - 85 Rivers - 131 that is the difference a good QB makes.

folks can't even agree on what a rookie is. on a side note, that got richie incognito in trouble when he decided jonathan martin was still a rookie in his second year. EJ is not a rookie.

i'm not rooting against him. I would love to see him become a Franchise QB (Top 10). based on what I've seen so far, I think his upside puts him around 20th best, which isn't good enough. his last 2 games of playing at about 15th best is encouraging. but that 2 game body of work is even less reliable than last years 10 game body of work.

Rice's case appears to have been handled more harshly, in fact, because of his fame, said New Jersey defense attorney James Leonard Jr. and John C. Lore III, a professor at Rutgers School of Law in Camden. Two other defense attorneys said that Rice's celebrity could have played a role in the case getting more legal attention. More than half of the 15,000 total domestic violence cases were dismissed or referred to lower-level municipal courts. Rice's case started out in municipal court, but county prosecutors later took over the case. Rice pleaded not guilty, and prosecutors signed off on his request to be placed into the Pre Trial Intervention(PTI) program, which is available only in state Superior Court. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/16/ray-rice-intervention-program-rare_n_5829004.html'>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/16/ray-rice-intervention-program-rare_n_5829004.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/16/ray-rice-intervention-program-rare_n_5829004.html

going forward, if EJ has two below average games in a row, will that be identifiable proof of regressing ?

funny how 10 games of below average play from last season (ave rank 27th) is not a big enough body of work.... but 2 games of slightly above average play from this season (ave rank 15th) is proof positive.

you mean like if a player attempted to kill someone by running her over in a car on chippewa at 3:30 am and then fleeing the scene ?

Benjy Bronk of Howard Stern's show crashes Roger Goodell presser http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/benjy-bronk-of-howard-stern-s-show-crashes-roger-goodell-presser-201253383.html

how about the commotion off to the left of roger during the presser. sounded like some guy was getting escorted out while repeatedly screamimg "don't take me on an elevator"......bizarre.

Roger was off his game today. he's rattled. having said that, he's not going anywhere. nor should he.
