Give them a drive or two to atone for what happened tonight. I don’t like going into the Jets game with that sort of sloppiness the last time they took the field. 

 

  I'm really on the fence on this.  Yes I hate how bad they looked but if any important starter gets hurt for a ps game that means zilch.  And practicing them until they are beaten and tired  won't exactly give them a leg up on the Jets week 1.  I don't think the Jets can hang with a Josh led offense if he is on.  Does Josh need the game reps to be at his best for the Jets opener.

Agree with this. I'm even tempted to put Josh out there for a series or two to see if he can build any kind of trust in the (admittedly barely existent) O-Line. There were a couple of times tonight where he took off when he didn't need to.

 

Then again, if he gets injured, we'd be calling out the utter futility of doing that.

I know the injury concerns, but it’s football. Can happen at any time, even in practice. Playing less minimizes that risk, true, but you get what you get on the field if that’s the approach… and then the injury risk can climb once again through fatigue when they are on the field.

This may sound way too old school, but the only way to get better at something like O timing/chemistry is to work at it on the field, and clearly just practice isn’t cutting it, so…I’d say play ‘em a series or 2 with some urgency to punch it in for a tuddy 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agreed!  If they can't hold up again let's make some changes to the STARTERS!

Play them the entire game.

 

The injury stuff is overblown. They can get injured in practice, in the weight room, etc.

 

Gabe Davis’ season long ankle injury came during the WALKTHROUGH before the Titans game last year.

 

We saw a team tonight that needs as many reps against real competitor as they can possibly get.

Yeah I'm playing the ones at least 2 series next week. Injuries be damned. Super sloppy tonight and nowhere near ready for the Jets.

I am so glad that you’re not associated with this team in a way that makes decisions

I would play them about the same amount of time that they did this week
