OnTheRocks Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yeah I know....the difference is he sucked in games 2-4. My question..is there something preventing him from playing as well as he did in game one. I don't see that the Bucs, Falcons, and certainly not the Saints Defense are that superior that he should be struggling so much. Or is it a situation where he caught lightening in the bottle for the first half against the Texans and after that he used his three wishes....and has none left?

VABills Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Not really. He wasn't that effective in game one either. You're just skewed because it was a win. Go back and look we passed too much that game as well, hence why we got bogged down inside the 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about as easy as describing last years team. Last year, our team was mediocre, and made a run playing a ridiculously easy schedule down the stretch. This year, JP was average in the first game against the worst team in football (Houston). And he was awful in games 2-4. It's not harder than that really. He's a bad QB right now (doesn't mean he always will be). One word: Houston at home = JP Better or better yet Houston = RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 IMHO ....... Game 1 ......... Texans suck ..... they really REALLY suck Games 2 & 3 ....... The Bucks and Falcons do not suck Game 4 ...... while the Saints mainly suck, every once in a while they play well. Combine playing semi-well, with a loud "home" crowd, and you get ... not suck so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 The Texans are really bad 463132[/snapback] it is all about hitting open receivers...and the receivers are still getting open. open receivers against the Texans aren't any different than open receivers against other teams.

djh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 playcalling. Game 1, offensive came out 4 wide packages & throwing to set up the run. Game 2-4, offense is very predictable with the vanilla playcalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 He's played about the same. The defense also gave the offense great field position in Game 1 and he hasn't had that since. The defense and special teams aren't playing at the level expected. I'd say JP is playing at the level many thought he would be playing at.

ndmanley Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 JP has not played well at all. But the difference is not our weakness. It is our supposed strength. Our defense. They have one turnover in three games. They cannot stop the run. They commit stupid penalties. Plus, they cannot get off the field on third down. The difference is our defense.

dundy249 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The Texans Defense does not suck. They held the Bengals to 16 points at home. Offense sucks yes. Defense no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The main difference is our defense. If the D was playing even remotely as well as it did last year. We'd at least 2-2 if not 3-1 right now. The games against Atlanta and NO were definitely within our grasp if the defense came up big only once or twice in those games. JP was not very good in the first game either. The difference was, the Defense came up big and turned the field in our favor. You're not going to win many games on the road if your offense is starting inside the 10 yard line nearly the entire first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 How many turnovers the past three games? 463348[/snapback] Thats exactly my point, the difference from the 1st game to the next three has been the inability of the defense to come up with any big plays. Hence, the pressure is put on your young QB to make things happen. The defense needs to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
