None of those games were gimme games. The competition is getting stronger sure but as the say, Iron sharpens iron.

Kid was holding his own. That's always a good start.

Nice post. As a plus it helped me add to my ignore list.

I doubt anyone with half a brain would dispute that.

Still doesn't change the fact he wanted to be here.

I don't need to, it was you claim. I have not seen any Sam "defenders" in any post I've read. But I have a lot of idiots on ignore so maybe you are reading those. Not a single person can defend his play so far. I certainly am not. What set me off was the blaming of him for everything that went wrong, especially the drops. What's fair is fair and the only reason we had a chance to win yesterday was the play of the Sam the shitty qb that contributed to the situation we found ourselves in the first place.

He wanted to be here.

Who has excluded Sam? That's in your head my friend.

What other choice do we have? It's either hope his crappy play changes or tune out for the rest of the season. No one is going come off the bench to save us. Better put your big boy pants on if you are going to follow this team. Or you can take your toys and go home. The rest of us faithful will see you in the offseason.

Sure, point fingers all you want, I've done my share. My issue is the fingers seem to point to only one issue. All others seem to have excuses.

Football is a tough sport where players get hurt all the time. It's a bullshit excuse and expecting a qb to determine after the snap in 2 seconds to determine if the route is going to get the wr hurt if he throws to him. On top of that he has to check every route to make sure the next guy isn't going to get clocked as well. It is complete and utter horse poo to suggest it is somehow the qbs job to protect the wr on every play. What is not bullshit is expecting the receiver to catch the ball when it hits them in the hands.

fug Teddy. That us all.

Another bullshit take. The routes are designed by the so called wonder boy in the booth so now the qb has to avoid the throw because it could get the wr hurt? So what is the qb and wrs supposed to do when the play comes into the huddle? Say to hell with that one give me something else? Are they supposed to throw those plays our of the play book? No, it's just excuses for the shitty play of the receivers.

But somehow Darnold is supposed to. Everything starts in the trenches. Lose that battle you lose the war.

A mix is fine if both are working. When only one is working you ride it until it opens up the other.

I'm still not convinced his a genius play designer but I still have hope. I'm also not convinced Sam is a lost cause just yet. But that's another story for another day.

The LB was 3 yards deep in the backfield already before he could get to the edge to make his cut, but use that one play to discount him if you like. You see what you want to see.

I'm just chillin. You?

That's a large part of it. The biggest issue is Brady is just ignoring the run game without CMC. They could run a lot of the same offense with Chubba but just aren't. Brady's not setting any kind of rhythm for the offense that I can see nor is he trying to help keep Sam from reverting to ass when he can't figure out what he's supposed to do. It's FUBAR.

Disagree. When he gets around the edge he gets yards.

Maybe because the public already knows what they need to do? Just a guess.

That's is not accurate at all. For some reason they are not trying to run those plays. Brady is just not allowing him to get in a rhythm but the kid is fast and can get around the edge if given just a hint of a block just like CMC.

Nailed it. Great post.

He should have ran the ball until they proved they could stop it. It was working but for some reason Brady said hold my beer.

Nope.
