But who thinks that Alec Baldwin controls gas prices?

Ah, understood. I am just talking about play on the field.

To me, it was the Eagles loss. This one was unfortunately, expected.

Meh, won't be worse. Will just be the same.

We have THREE points. We have THREE points against a bad defense. I suppose PJ could throw a pick six, but at this point, who cares.

Darnold is awful. PJ might be awful as well, but things certainly won't get worse.

At least Ruhle will make changes. He did put Walker in. Rivera refused to remove Cam even when Cam couldn't throw it more than 10 yards. Fwiw, same thing with Fox and Delhomme. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like the Ruhle hire simply because hiring college coaches rarely works, unless they have significant NFL experience.

I agree. Should have kept Teddy, drafted Jones or Fields, let the draftee sit a year, build the oline, and see what we have.

If they get a td here, it might be over.

Just like the last interception in the Eagles game, had someone wide open underneath, but threw it into coverage.

I stand corrected

Amazing how much better Darnold looks when the receivers catch the ball.

Can't pass the ball, and when we do, the receivers can't catch it.

Fwiw, TL hasn't looked lights out. In fact, he hasn't looked good. That is not to say he won't eventually be a good qb, but for now the jury is still out. I think most would say that Mac Jones has looked the best of any of the drafted qb's, and he hasn't looked great. But I personally would have preferred that they draft Field or Jones. QB is such an important position, that putting all your eggs in one basket (Darnold) is not a good choice. If Darnold doesn't work out, and Fields or Jones become solid qb's, it will probably end up being Rhule's downfall.

Not sure it really matters that much. IMO, we will win or lose depending on how well our offense plays and if we can stop the run.

The ability to get the ball out fast and accurately is more important than being mobile. Of course, mobile qb's are easier to find than fast and accurate. And I am talking about Brady, not Jones of course.

You have some unrealistic expectations.

Meh, while he has performed better than the rest, it is still way to early to crown him the best of the first round picks.

Which is why I think this whole tank for this player or that one is silly. There is no way to accurately predict how a specific player will end playing. All we have to do is look at this years crop of rookie qb's. Lawrence and Wilson may eventually turn out to be decent to good qb's, but its ironic that the last qb chosen in the first is (so far at least), the best. Rant now over. Fwiw, I seriously doubt we get Watson, unless our front office is confident the legal troubles will not be as bad as it seems.

Didn't the Dolphins tank for Tua not to long ago?

We are bringing back the triple option/wishbone. No one will be ready for it.

My point is though that we are depending on the backs too much.

When your running back has half your yardage totals, its usually not a good thing. Against the Eagles, we had about 280 yards. Hubbard accounted for 134 of them. Not criticizing CMC or complimenting Hubbard, but I am not so sure CMC makes much of a difference. Our offense was not good against the Jets.

They actually did. It was confirmed by the reviewers.
