Going out on a limb...

Jake tosses it for 220 yards, one TD, no INTs in a win over the Falcons. The guy is definitely not the answer for the future but I think that he can at least get back to managing the game. Lets face it...the Falcons are nowhere near the Eagles in terms of defense. Our running game will set up a lot for us in this game IMO...

It's only one game, but...........Atlanta’s defense held the Dolphins scoreless for three quarters and 11:39 into the fourth quarter. Biermann and Abraham both had two sacks. Pennington had only 176 in the air, 1TD and 1 INT. Run game? Dolphins had a total of 96 yards and only 4 yards in total from the Wildcat package.

Does this mean the Dolphins aren't as good as advertised, or the Falcons are better than advertised? We'll see I reckon.

Jake threw for a lot of yards on the Falcons last year and had one of his best games of the season in the first game.

If he can come out without the "gunslinger" mentality and be content to check down a lot then I think we will be ok. We are going to get some rushing yards on them...I have a feeling the OL is going to be out to prove something.

I think Jake has his last good throwing game in Atlanta last year. If you remember...he hit his arm on a helmet or something (can't recall) and was shaking it. The game was in hand at that point, but from that game on...when we were required to rely on Jake's arm to beat a team...we lost. When we dominated the O-line and ran well...obviously we won. I think he was hurt. I honestly don't think that Jake makes it through 2 route progressions before chunking the ball. He's just the opposite of Trent Edwards in that regard.

you're combining like 2 games from two different seasons three years apart here

would you like me to reassemble this into something sensical for you?

No...his attempts dropped by nearly a 1/3rd after the Atlanta loss.

Like I said...go rewatch that game...he hit his arm on something/someone and never really got back into the 30+ attempts and nothing like the zip he had in the beginning of the season.

you're talking about the loss to Atlanta in 2009?

and holy poo you're judging this on attempts?

you really think the fact they threw more in a game where they were trailing the entire time than they did in subsequent games where they were leading for most of the times indicates jake got hurt?

do you not understand that you generally throw more when you're losing?

especially when the other team jumps out to a two score lead?

I think if jeff davidson can get his head out of his own ass we might see more runs to take the pressure off an already fragile delhomme.

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
