Best possible news for the Miami game on Friday. It looked like that Jets team quit yesterday as the game went on and I believe they will show up big time to prove how much they could not stand Wilson as a starter.

I would like that theroy more if the qb wasn’t Tim Boyle, who is only on the team because he’s Rodgers’ friend.

The talk about just trying to get to the point where Rodgers is back just seems crazy to me, they're record was worse than ours going into yesterday, now even worse. Are really thinking they can drag this corpse of a season across the finish line? We're looking at practically having to win out ourselves, wouldn't they essentially have to do that?

I am terrible at predicting outcomes, but I think the Dolphins might do an absolute curb-stomping of the Jets this Friday. I just feel like the wheels are coming off that team right now--kinda like the late Gase era. Their offensive line is quite possibly the worst in the league due to all of the injuries.

I dunno, I can't disagree with their mentality. If you're Saleh, you can't give up on the season after 4 snaps, you got to rally the troops somehow even if realistically it is a pipe dream. 🤷‍♂️

Rodgers loves a good headline about himself

I've got to throw some props at Zach here.

Yes, he's a gawdawful QB right now (although I think he might be the kind of kid that finds his game a couple years down the road, ala Geno Smith). But that kid took a ferocious pounding last night and never once hesitated to get up and get right back to work.

At one point I thought Ed Oliver had finished him for good (I thought that was worth every one of the 15 yards he drew) but he shook it off and kept right on rolling. He might be wet behind the ears and not ready for this league, but the boy has some moxie.

I guess since they've had their bye already they've got one more game than us which makes it look a little different still, 4-6 with 7 games left, they've got to win most of them to make it.

Once he graduates from High School the league better watch out.

Don’t worry Aaron’s coming back

🤓

After Becton got taken away in a cart I wonder if Aaron's ankle suddenly got a little more sore, maybe we better just wait till next year fellas.

Boyle at least knows where the ball should go Might not have the talent to get it there but ball was coming out  Wilson is awful

 

Mike White looked respectable and had some good games for them...if he can do something similar, you never know...no tape on him which is a plus.

Agree, have to do something. They basically did nothing though. They could have signed Wentz. True he's not great but it's a major step up from Wilson. Could have made a play for Dobbs, heck even Drew Lock.... SOMETHING. There is no way I can be convinced that starting Wilson was a decision made by someone above Saleh's bald shiny head.

He's showed some maturity this year as well. Remember last season he was benched right after telling the media he didn't feel it was his fault they were losing and he didn't let the defense down. This year, total turn around attitude wise. Has taken full blame after every loss. 

 

Yea, I get it skill wise it's not there for him. But he seems like a good kid. Hopefully the light goes on after the Jets release him and take the next high draft pick QB they ruin.

I never believed Rodgers was coming back this season and that it was all talk to keep the team motivated.  Now I'm certain he's not.  No point since they're not making the playoffs and he's liable to get injured even worse behind that OL.

I think its worse news.  As bad as Wilson is, Boyle is probably worse. Who knows though.  Not much film on him for Miami so maybe they get the surprise.  

 

Really, its the same with either QB.  They need to hope their run game works and they don't turn the ball over, while the defense plays lights out and keeps them in the game.

Saleh/Douglas/Woody had no choice.   Maybe if it was an away game they would have played Wilson another week but the game is in Jersey. Zach wouldn't have been able to make it out of the tunnel without a police escort if the fans thought he was starting.

Boyle has started 3 games in 2021 for the Lions, including one start in which he threw for 77 yards on 23 attempts

it lets Rodgers be a distraction and buys some hope out of the roster. It’s more coachspeak than reality in my opinion

I agree! It looked like the D quit right after the Bills first TD. Sort of like “well that’s it our O stinks and we can’t come back from this now”

He transferred to Eastern Kentucky for his senior year and threw for over 2,000 yards in 10 games. For some reason those stats are not on his Sports Reference page: https://ekusports.com/sports/football/roster/tim-boyle/6455

Think for adding that. That has to worst collegenumbers of any modern qb to make the nfl, doesn’t it? 
 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Boyle_(American_football)

 

he had 12 tds to 26 ints for his career!!! He never had a season more tds than ints. I’m not even hating on him. Him being a nfl qb truly amazes me.
