This offense is so bad in the 2nd half

Obligatory 3 pints in 2nd half again. When you can’t run the ball with a lead, this is what happens.

why is epenesa in the game in short yardage? He stinks overall but especially in short yardage.

dorsey is straight trash as a play caller

Interesting how McBeane don’t put him on injury reports so it’s not physical at this point.

Diggs.

Not sure how you get in game shape other than getting out there on sundays. Nobody’s asking him to play every snap. Treat it like his pre-season. Our secondary needs all the help it can get. 2 or 3 defensive series from White would be a nice jolt for the team.

I said worst back 7 not defense. We still have a good front 4 but the Jets weak offense attacked our backups in the back 7, especially #4 Johnson and Bernard. The Vikings offense is much better than the Jets.

You think we stand a chance with Hamlin, #4 Johnson, Bernard, and whatever rookie we start opposite Jackson against Jefferson, Thielen, Hockenson, Dalvin Cook and Cousins? And now Edmunds is on the injury report. Here’s a question many people won’t like… why should Edmunds in a contract year play hurt when guys who already got paid like Milano and White are sitting out?

Unfortunately the smart money is to bet the Vikings. Even if Josh plays, the defense has too many guys injured/sitting out. Without Poyer, Milano, and White, we might have the most inexperienced and worst back 7 in football.

Almost as important as Allen playing sunday is the status of Poyer and Milano. We have no chance against a good team with Bernard and #4 Johnson starting. I’m not even gonna bother asking about White. Maybe he’ll be mentally ready to get out there by the road playoff game at KC.

This ain’t baseball. The risking long term injury thing is a false narrative. Football throwing injuries are almost non-existent.

Do people realize an NFC loss counts the same as a divisional loss? Divisional record only becomes a thing in tie-breaker scenarios.

Exactly. You could argue being conservative with injuries in the Jets game led to this mess because if the game was 10 points at hand like it should’ve been, Josh doesn’t have to be in harm’s way on that last drive. But it’s McDermott’s way. I’m sure all the injuries we’ve suffered this year is making him more conservative with injuries. He turtles up.

Yes, they had a competitive advantage. It was wanting the game more than the Bills.

Mosley’s separated shoulder was ‘football functional’ enough to come back into the game on Sunday. Maybe McDermott needs to walk into the training room and do his best General Patton impersonation.

It’s really hard to injure your arm throwing a football. The stress put on your arm from throwing a baseball is completely different. Can’t imagine there’s a risk of making it worse other than the normal risks you take every time you got out on a football field.

Those 4 represent 40% of the salary cap on the defensive side of the ball and are all back 7 players. And the Jets game-planned accordingly. White could’ve really helped. Our back 7 was Taron, Edmunds, Dane and a bunch of backups and rookies.

He ain’t good but would be an upgrade over Johnson.

Agreed. We can’t throw away any more games being overly conservative with injuries.

I’d be surprised if Josh doesn’t play. Nothing some pain killers can’t cure for 3 hours. Vikings will still have to cover the whole field. Dorsey goes to a more run heavy, short passing game with a couple shots downfield.

Because we’re playing 2 backups at safety, a rookie CB on one side and a guy on the other side who returned 2 weeks after it looked like he broke his neck. If nothing else, play a few snaps and provide some leadership. Gotta be creeping into his teammates minds about what’s going on. There was hope he’d be ready week 1. We’re on to week 10.

I’d put White on IR if he’s not up to playing some snaps on Sunday. We don’t need that around the team. These guys are soft enough. Make a statement. We need hungry guys on the field.

‘Hungry and Humble’… except when we’re making business decisions.

Just looks like we’re trying to coast until we get closer to the home stretch. Who knows, maybe it’ll work. Heck, Thurman did the same thing Diggs does in the last half of his career going to sideline after he got hit and he lasted 12 years and ended up in Canton. From a fan perspective, it’s frustrating especially when McDermott constantly preaches the ‘hungry and humble’ line. Gotta be infuriating for Bills fans at Met Life yesterday.
