I am still rewatching Jets game highlights and this sh*t is posting lol

I would add to this that the NFL has went from having maybe one true freak talented QB a decade who could just do things that weren't able to be duplicated (Elway, Young, Vick, Rodgers) to all the sudden three truly dominant ones in Josh, Lamar, & Mahomes where they do things that should be impossible and even the next crop under that with Daniels, Love, Hurts etc.. are guys that can not only pass but move pretty well. Pocket passers still can dominate as Burrow/Stafford have shown and Goff is certainly in that group too, but when you see a lot of these guys with this wild mobility it has changed the expectations I think people have for many passers.

Jared Goff has proven without good coaching and a solid cast of playmakers he cannot do it on his own which I think is why he always has an asterisk with how good he truly is or isn't given the truly best QBs can make it work in any circumstance. I will give him credit he has improved substantially from LA which I get why McVay traded him and with good coaching/playmakers he is a legit top QB. But like you said the moment he has pressure he is toast and that has forever been his Achilles heal. Also while I am admittedly not a Goff fan I do agree the narratives spun at the trade were also a bit overboard that he was trash etc.. He has proven given him a line with decent weapons and he can do a lot of things. The narrative on QBs these days is nuts and the patience is so thin. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Tua in a new spot with a decent line and coach got it going similar to 22/23, his issue and forever his issue is health.

I reallllyy wish people took the time to actual research things out. When the Lions got Goff he was a cast off and the trade was considered more for the picks media wise for the Lions then Goff himself. The Lions first half of the time with Goff/Ben were trash on offense, but the back half of 2021 they found their form which built into 2022 and continued big time into 23/24. To act like Johnson had nothing to do with it when literally there are legions of articles that said Goff was toast etc.. is hilarious and also reeks of today's what have you done for me now culture. Now will it work for the Bears? The hell that I know because the franchise looks cursed as hell... but I will allow a full season to happen and look at the whole picture before tossing the baby out of the bath water. Caleb has not looked great and the articles about him over summer do not paint a great picture, but if they start winning in the back half and he improves it all doesn't matter. Watching the Cowboys Netflix it was pretty hysterical how year 1 with Jimmy Johnson they went on thinking they were gonna take the world by the horns only to get run over. The NFL takes time (unless you play in the AFC South then who the hell knows) to build a true program up. Last week the Lions sucked and were falling apart now this week their back to being great. It is said the first half of an NFL season is fools gold in general with some teams so now is not the best time for strong takes.

Exactly. Last year they had perfect luck of plays going their way when you needed it most. This year is market correction as shown with Kelce getting hit in the hands at the goal line only to deflect it to the Eagles. They will still probably win 10-12 games, but watching last year they had the largest golden horseshoe I have seen in a long time for a team.

Was going to say the same thing. I'll never forget when people in 2014 I believe said the Pats dynasty was dead when they lost to the Chiefs 41-14 week 4.... they won the SB that year haha. Chiefs will be there come January. Their offense is not in its final form and once Rice/Worthy are back I do think they will have a lot more teeth there. With that said it is hard to be as good as they have been this long without having a down year or two or losing in the playoffs earlier, I do think this is probably their worst roster in a while which still is not saying a lot.

Oh he unfortunately is injury prone, no escaping it at this point. But QBs careers shorten when this is the abuse you take, Luck is a prime example of an elite talent being destroyed to the point he retired because of it. I give Beane a lot of credit for building a solid o line for nearly all of Josh's career and then the same has been there for Mahomes & Lamar too. I think this injury will permanently put Burrow beneath Allen/Mahomes/Lamar as a guy who when healthy is an alpha but that is an issue in itself.

Yep. It is good we have the tie breaker with Baltimore because they have a far easier path to 12-5/13-4 now which probably takes the 1 seed at this moment.

There is a reason Carson Palmer said they would ruin him. Their inability to protect him will end his career far faster then it should which is unfortunate for the game. If it is true he could be back for the last four games of the season though if they can be 6-7 at that point they can still have a shot for the playoffs. That is only 4-7 but their schedule is no joke and they don't have a defense that can win games either.

Hairy Angry Animals 27 Flying Objects 19 The Jets get the ball first and move into the Bills redzone but settle for a FG as the Bills defense has a bend not break type of afternoon. Josh and the offense score TD's on the next two positions with a 30 yard TD to Palmer and Shakir doing his magic breaking a few tackles from 7 yards out. The Jets get a FG before half as Fields is able to escape the pocket and break a 40 yard rush to setup a 50 yard FG making it 14-6 at half time. The Bills get the ball out of half and get into the Jets redzone before a holding call stops a first down run by Davis and the Bills kick a FG to go up 17-6. The Jets get the ball and move down the field with a bunch of runs capped by a Hall TD to close it to 17-13. Josh and the offense return the favor and Davis runs in a TD as the 3rd quarter ends to put the Bills up 24-13. The Jets offense gets a big play from Garrett Wilson on a 40 yard reception to get into the Bills territory and Fields converts a 4th down run to score a TD. The Jets fail on the 2 pt conversion to and the score is 24-19 Bills. The Bills offense runs clock and get into the Jets territory but Praters FG is wide and the Jets get the ball with 7 mins left down by 5. Bosa though forces a sack fumble on Fields and the Bills offense runs the clock before settling for a FG to make it 27-19. The Jets fall on downs and the Bills walk away from a hard earned victory 27-19.

They are a division foe and annoyance but they are not a rival the way I consider Miami, KC, NE, or heck even the Jags who we have lost two different playoff games to and some truly other weird a$$ games. Their fans are just obnoxious as heck more then anything so seeing them down is enjoyable haha, but there hasn't been a major moment with NY while I have been alive which was cut deep by them. The opening losses in 2002 and 2023 stunk but even those again were bad days not McKelvin level pain part of two decades of pain with NE or the hate that builds with Miami when their going. 2023 with Miami was especially enjoyable because it felt like the old days and winning in their house to take the division was soooo sweet. The arrogance that fanbase and their media had going into that finale made it so satisfying to put them back in their place. At no time have I ever had a feeling remotely close to that with NY.

It is why I have stated and stated I want to see where they are come week 11-12ish. That is enough time for the pieces to come together they have added and gel good or bad. It is still not encouraging that this defense any time they play a top offense breaks like an icicle falling but I will give it time and the D-line leaves a lot to like.

Because McD has said it is Babichs calls and unit in the end. Yes McD has a role in scheme etc.. but he has transitioned more into CEO coach like most do and Babich has the majority of the responsibility. I do not disagree that McD has a role and if things go south and Babich goes that McD will also get fire to him for it, but he isn't calling the plays on D at this point so Babich does get more fire.

The hope would be Bishop evolves into a better starter, the defensive line can rotate even more with those two back which means a more rested unit that can be aggressive, and if the CB spot it healthy and good then you can really scheme things away from your weakness at safety. Again that would be the hope.

I am reversing the normal phrase because it is more fitting for the analysis of our defense after Sunday. With that said it has been over a day and I am trying to be rational with these thoughts and there were a few positives I found (specific to the D line) rather then just saying they were awful Sunday which is easy to say. Ugly The run defense. Henry was not just breaking tackles he wasn't even being touched at times on some of the runs. For a team which has had some dog days against the run this was an all time classic display of bad even if Henry is a HOF RB that has very few equals. The defense the until 9:18 left in the game. 40 points and just two forced punts. It basically was last years regular season game again except our offense came to play this time Whatever Terrell Bernard was doing all night. I have generally liked his play since he has become a starter but this was an all time WTF was that performance. Whether it is not trusting the coverage over top or overplaying plays where he was badly out of position it was ugly as sin. The safeties. The good news is Baltimore probably is the most complete offense they will play all season so as weak as this spot is right now your not going to face what you saw every week... but holy yikes. Rapp is as fast as a sloth and Bishops body I believe is still implanted in the turf right now. I understand Bishop is young and will take his lumps, but it is very frustrating that a spot every one said needs improvement was ignored and put on display so badly in front of the world. Bobby Babich. Sooo in 3 games vs Baltimore they have averaged 34 ppg against our D, the Chiefs 27 ppg, etc.. you get where this is going. Last year was year one and I get learning the ropes etc.. but year 2 even with the injuries/suspensions this defense was invested in tenfold and that is the best you can do? Long season and I have said on here all off season it is going to take half the season for this defense to come together, but by seasons end they better be a far stiffer unit across the board or his time will be numbered. Bad Taron Johnson and Benford had a relatively poor performance all evening, but not nearly as bad as their counterparts. Given the high level or play they bring you would have liked to have seen more impact plays from both Blitzing Bishop from Niagara Falls. Apparently the Ravens caught this early and intentionally hiked before Bishop could actually be in his spot, but regardless while the idea to blitz wasn't bad the execution was hilariously bad. Overall energy of the defense from the 2nd quarter until 9:18. They looked like they needed someone to step up and do something to get it going and no one was there. The one question that has been asked since all the old vets left is who will be the guys to step up when its tough sledding. I loved Oliver's play, Groot & Milano had a few nice moments, but this defense will not always get that turnover which turns a bad day around or the game may already be lost at that point. Some of the newer younger guys you'd like to see someone step up or one of the more established guys like Milano to help make a stop. One game, long season, but just something since last year I have been watching Good The defense from 9:18 in the 4th on. Two three and outs plus a forced fumble to alter the game. For as awful as they were they made some strong plays late that kept it alive Ed Oliver. I can only hope he goes a full season playing like this because he was a terror and did alter the game enough to make it a game again. The overall defensive line got some pressure and you can see the potential with Bosa mixed in that they can become a force. That is really encouraging and I thought Bosa as the game went on found himself. There isn't much after a 40 pt performance you hang your hat on but the defensive line legitimately has me excited for what they could do over the year Dorian Strong in his first start was fine. That is a compliment given the state of the rest of the secondary and back end, but for a rookie day one I thought he did a good job. One final thought: The defense was bad for the vast majority of the game and the secondary feels like a massive question mark at this point given the safeties especially. The trend still exists that this defense gets exposed against great offenses until they finally show otherwise. With that said Baltimore is the best offense they will play all season and their fans are asking and saying everything we are. The defense will benefit from playing some lower teams which will allow some time to figure solutions and play out which will help. Until they play KC they do not face a QB of Lamar's caliber and after that it isn't until Burrow where you face another guy and offense that can do that so the defense and coaching staff has time to figure out a lot of answers. With that said if you are pessimistic on the defense moving forward I can't blame you as they keep living up to being a unit the comes up small when the competition is the best. Thankfully we got a whole season coming so hopefully they can change that.
