K-9

Colorado State is full of cheap shot A holes on defense. I hope they get rolled all night.

Your memory is a good one. Marino tore his achilles against the Browns on a field notorious for its poor condition. Always seemed there was more sand in that field than grass.

I didn’t claim McD was a genius. I claimed our pass coverage was good all night.

That’s a fair point, but we didn’t give them much all night in the secondary. Both Rodgers before he was hurt and Wilson afterwards weren’t finding open guys with any regularity. Couple of busted run fits prevented it from being a totally dominant defensive performance. A performance better than the Jets’ vaunted D gave.

The lack of understanding has nothing to do with what the Jets did or didn’t do on defense and everything to do with you suggesting Kincaid is a lesser player than LaPorta and Musgrove based upon their respective performances against totally different teams.

LaPorta looked very good vs KC. But that is totally irrelevant to how Kincaid looked vs the Jets, yet you seem to be trying to directly compare the two performances and conclude that Kincaid’s was lacking somehow. My theory? What theory? I don’t have a prediction on how Kincaid will do mostly because I don’t know what looks Vegas will show or how Dorsey and Co. want to attack them. There just isn’t enough to go on yet.

Let me know when LaPorta and Musgrave face a defense like the Jets because specious arguments like this are absurd and show a lack of understanding.

UB defense is terrible. Just really hard to watch.

An encouraging start, but that’s all it was.

Sauce wasn’t “covering” Kincaid all night, so much as there were times when Kincaid’s route brought him into Gardner’s zone responsibility.

I see you connected the dots.

Gonna have a dome and everything. Where ya been?

I understand all that. I’m just saying we’ve been seeing a steady diet of Cover 2 zone looks since we played them in NY last year. Of course the key is a superior front four that can bring pressure and the Jets can legitimately roll eight D linemen that can do that.

Jets have provided the league a blueprint for defending Allen. It’s on him and Dorsey to now adjust.

Josh doesn’t process the game like Fitz and Fitz could only dream of having Allen’s physical gifts. That said, Fitz wasn’t above playing a little hero ball himself from time to time.

Yeah, except when he doesn’t have a 10 cent head.

He certainly had the discipline and will on the 11 play scoring drive, the second 11 play scoring drive, the 9 play scoring drive, and then the next 9 play scoring drive. So he’s proved he can be patient and take what’s given, especially against a dominant defense that demands you have to be patient and take what’s given. The maddening thing about Allen is why he gets away from it and insists on playing hero ball. Wish we had the answer.

Losing AR had nothing to do with Josh crapping the bed but we can speculate that we were able to keep it close only because Rodgers got hurt. But that argument is speculative at best and that speculation runs in both directions.

Can you see the hope in that sentence? Allen plays the worst game of his career and yet we still force OT against perhaps the best defense we will see all year, in their house in front of a sold out frenzied crowd on opening night? If it takes Allen playing his worst game for teams to beat us, I like our chances moving forward.

I don’t think Josh has lost confidence when it’s his (over) confidence that results in the unnecessary hero ball tactics. My concern is, are his teammates going to start to lose confidence in him.

In some ways, the way the Giants lost can be easier to take.

Agree both corners were very good in coverage last night and it’s nice to see someone give credit to Wilson for that incredible catch. A catch that Tre played good defense on, btw. I will quibble a little about the missed tackles though. On both misses, Tre had a hold of a leg and didn’t wrap up. I know that Hall is far bigger and stronger, but Tre isn’t a little waif of a player and is more than strong enough to keep hold of a leg when he has it in his grasp. He was lazy on those plays.

I hope we can all really appreciate just how special that throw was and that we never take Josh’s talent for granted.
