I don't know about dreadful, but I've watched him all year and he hasn't shown me that he's tough enough to play the middle.  He's always standing around the pile, helping up the guy who made the tackle.   That's not the attitude you want with your middle linebacker.  

Question...Could Milano play middle LB?   Then move Edmunds outside.  Pick up another LB in the draft to groom behind Lorax.

[Thoughts on not making Anthony Lynn our HC?]

You also have to look at who Lynn has as his coordinators.  Bradley and Whisenhunt are both well established.  Lots of talent on that team.

[Texans at Jets: Saturday Afternoon Fever]

I just wish we'd blitz more.  Frazier plays too passive defensively.  This game was close because of the pressure Bowles defense generated.

[Texans at Jets: Saturday Afternoon Fever]

Robbie Anderson is making Darnold look exceptional.   Don't get me wrong.   Darnold is playing well...but Anderson is making him look special.  The guy is clutch.

So far Darnold 1

Allen 0

 

If it wasn't for Anderson that score may have been reversed.  Guy is good and clutch.

Great to be you, I guess, but I can’t agree.  I can cope with a couple interceptions, but the special teams play in this game blew total chunks and a couple of the calls or non-calls were awful.  So I have trouble living with this one.

I think it's because the STs blew chunks this week and last week that I can handle the losses.  A coaching change should help fix that.  There were some cheap shots by the Jets that were not called,  particularly on Hauska, that impacted the kicking game.  Allen, though not perfect is improving.  We're now seeing some holes on the defense that need to be addressed.  Hopefully coaches as well as players are learning from these losses...plus we're improving our draft position.

Are we mathematically eliminated yet?

We were eliminated last week unless the entire rest of the AFC were to lose every game.

[NFL Officials are making a great game tough to watch]

I don't think it has anything to do with gender...and I speak as a member of the female contingent...but age may have something to do with some crews.   The crew in the  Bills game wasn't old.  I think the more the league thinkers with the rules the worse it gets.   They always screwed teams on holding...sometimes they'd call it, sometimes not...but PI, roughing the passer,  personal fouls...are so subjective, it depends on which way the wind blows.  And then you watch blatant missed calls, like the false start the Chargers got away with, and you wonder about simple competence.

I wouldn't say he isn't smart,it's more like immature.Some of his decisions are not thought out well....like 716 suggested,he needs another year at the college level to work on that part of the game (mental).jmo

I meant football smart.  Interestingly, I'm watching the SEC championship and Danielson mentioned that Tagliavoa throws well but he's not a game manager.   I think that's the issue with Jackson.  He doesn't manage the game...realizing that throwing it away to maintain field position is better than taking a sack.

He will just be out of the league in a few years. He isn’t even an NFL backup at this point

 

He isn’t getting drafted in the top 3 rounds this year so it really doesn’t matter if he gets drafted in The 5th this year or 6th next 

 

he isnt ready and needs a lot to improve on. I’ve seen every snap of his career , he needs more work and he isn’t ready for The pros 

 

If he’s serious about a sustained pro career he needs to come back

I totally agree.  He has a lot of skill and ability.  He just isn't smart.  He relies too much on his athleticism to get him out of trouble and ends up digging a bigger hole.

[MAC Championship-UB blows 19pt lead, lose 30-29.]

Next year's goal...beat Northern Illinois.   It's the team they can't seem to beat.

[MAC Championship-UB blows 19pt lead, lose 30-29.]

You also have to put some of this on Jackson.  He took really bad sacks instead of throwing the ball away.   Impacted field position.

[THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - “Get Aboard the Josh Allen Train”]

Great assessment, Shaw!  The stats don't give Allen enough credit for the game he played.  When he ran in for that touchdown to take the lead, the first thought I had was how Mahomes on Monday night had a similar opportunity against the Rams...and slid at the 3 rather than diving for the end zone and trying to score. 

[You have to love Josh Allen...]

Plus a number of those incompletions were to Thompson.  It was clear he and Allen were not on the same page.

[Eric Wood doing the color for K St and Iowa St]

Thanks for pointing this out.  Woods is doing a fabulous job!

[Nice to see the Bills put this guy over the edge...]

That was absolutely hilarious.  If you don't want to read the whole thing...just read the last paragraph...especially when he brings up the leaky pipe.  I was in tears laughing so hard.  We all feel his pain as hopeful fans who get disappointed year after year.   The only thing we can do is laugh...despite the misery!

[Per Schefter, Browns interested in interviewing Condoleezza Rice for HC]

Well, if Russia ever tries to mess with the NFL, she'd be right on top of it.

[Thoughts on not making Anthony Lynn our HC?]

I think with Lynn, we would have kept Tyrod.  Presuming Gus Bradley was the D Coordinator under Lynn, we may have seen a similar result year one with the Bills.  Chargers have had a ton of talent for years, but never had the right coaching combination.  The offense put up a lot of points under Rivers, but they had to since their defense was so bad.  There wasn't a lot to dismantle on that team.  The Bills on the other hand never seem to have a cohesive plan on either side of the ball.
