Which strengthens the argument that Coleman's gesture was totally unnecessary. Even people who've never watched a football game can figure out that the ball should have been placed higher. Thank you. I have gone to great lengths to defend the selection of Coleman. That doesn't change the fact that he has dropped a disconcerting number of catchable balls... or that the gesture under discussion was immature.

It was a horrible throw? Josh threw 27 passes on a very windy and gusty day. The ball missed its ideal placement by 12-18 inches. You know it's funny when I posted this opinion in the live game thread, someone asked me if I ever played sports... It's just as real as the endless topics about our wide receivers and our run defense... except actually a lot more interesting. I guess people here are averse to this kind of discussion.

Agree. I mentioned this in the live game thread and a a few people took issue with my judgement that Coleman's action was immature and unnecessary. The idea that an act can be judged by someone's reaction to it and not on the merits of the act itself is interesting. Josh is a great guy and I agree that he was not bothered it. In fact, throwing a TD pass to Coleman later in the game shows that Josh didn't give it a second thought. But that doesn't change my view of the act. It's not a felony but it's a violation of etiquette... a rookie showing up a future first-ballot HOFer on a national broadcast... for zero justifiable reason. Coleman's gesture was compelled by the sort of defense mechanism that a mature person no longer possesses. I also found it disrespectful. And also pointless. Coleman's gesture was basically a "it wasn't my fault I didn't catch the ball" response. Here's a Yes/No question: Do you think that Josh didn't understand that he should have thrown the ball higher? Allen "took his advice?" Josh needed it pointed out to him that the ball placement was too low? This is what I posted in the live game thread: 1) You guys think Josh didn't know the pass needed to be higher? 2) Couldn't Coleman have pointed this out discretely/later instead of in front of the entire world? I don't think you can even argue what the answers to those questions are.

Phidarian Mathis... The late NFL running back and Bills coach Elijah Pitts attended college at a school called Philander Smith. At the time of his selection there was some confusion as to whether he was Elijah Pitts from Philander Smith College or Philander Smith from Elijah Pitts College.

Raw Ability = Measurables

I saw him on the sidelines telling the trainers that it was only a flesh wound.

It wasn't only the media...

Damn, you're right. Good catch.

1) Consecutive games start streak 2) Opportunity to set NFL record by throwing TDs to 14 different receivers Josh plays one series.

Only 48 players are dressed for each game. That includes kicker, punter, long snapper... You don't have backups for every position on the team. In situations like this it's unavoidable that teams have to play some players that they'd prefer not play.

There's no questioning the entertainment value of the eye rolls, body language, setting sack records, etc. Because they hate him? Tied with the Buffalo Bills 2020 and the Atlanta Falcons in 2016. If Josh could set the new record (of course he probably won't play next week), that would be another MVP credential. 😆

MVP!!!

I think it's a team record, not an NFL record.

😆

I thought we decided it was going to be spelled "defesne" from now on? I sure hope this is the case.

As long as he doesn't get 500 vs us, I'm good. Excepting the footwear...

It seems inevitable though. The Jets have run 8 times for 47 yards... 6 yards per carry.

Yes, building on an impressive opening quarter.

I sure hope you're right... the defense continues to be a concern.

I think the injury time off probably helped refresh him.

Really dude? Grow up.

1) You guys think Josh didn't know the pass needed to be higher? 2) Coleman couldn't have pointed this out discretely/later instead of in front of the entire world?

Speaking of Coleman, he doesn't have to show up Josh by pointing out that the pass should have been higher... some immaturity still showing.
