That totals out to 10.8 points per game
 

 

So more than half the points given up by this defense were drives under 60 yard most of them were drives under 40 yards to be honest. This might be the best defense we have ever had, but the numbers won’t show cause this offense is that pathetic and will continue to put the defense in bad spots.

This defense with just an average or slightly below average offense (Teddy or Cam) would make for a really good team.

We literally just booed Teddy off the team last year. Tell me what has changed offensively to make you think it would be any different this year?

Teddy is a way better QB than Sam and has been his entire career.  You give Teddy this defense and we have a couple more wins.

Thus Joe must go. 

His play calling has been pretty suspect, but with Sam making the same mistakes over and over, in addition to our turnstile OL, there’s only so much one man can do.

We’ve poured almost all our resources into the defense since Rhule got here and are reaping those results right now, both good and bad.  We need to do that with the offense in the offseason.  I’m willing to give Brady another year with actual, competent offensive linemen and hopefully another QB before throwing him to the wolves

Right all we need is a QB that's it the only issue lol right back to ya

Simple is as simple does. 

No. But a competent qb would have us a winning record with this defense. If we want to compete for superbowls we need to upgrade the line as best we can and get an elite qb. Cam was an elite qb and could sometimes sneak us into the playoffs with shoddy oline olay and lack of weapons. 
 

the problem here is that many of you invested in Darnold being the guy, even after 3 games. You talked poo to others all off-season and the first three games when people were still wary of what they were seeing. When you were proven wrong that Darnold sucks you lashed out like toddlers blaming anyone else but Darnold himself. No that Darnold has gone full meltdown some of y’all are finally admitting he sucks. But with the caveat that Joe Brady sucks too lol.

I’ve maintained we need to continue to upgrade the line but that a competent qb would have put us in a position to make the playoffs THIS year. Not compete for a championship or anything like that. Darnold is so fuging bad that he has single handedly ruined this season oline issues aside. He’s gonna get Brady fired because rhule will never admit they made a mistake shipping 3 picks for the worst starting qb in the league who has the 7th most pocket time out of 32 starting qbs. He is the absolute bottom of the barrel qb. Like I really think we should just run wildcat the rest of the year and we would have a better chance at winning. He’s that bad.

Bullshit. Scheme over team. His poor concepts, coaching, and play calling are what is giving us 6 points in a game. Not the poorly coached players. I mean hell we knew Sam could be damaged goods yet zero back up plan from Brady. Just let him go out there and sling it around like he's Tom Brady.

Er nope, I was hardly on here off season at all so you got the wrong guy. Offseason I was def hoping it was Gase and would be a Tannehill situation. Lately I had long conversations with kungfoodude actually about how I was 2.7% on Darnold turning it around so....uh...lol

Citation needed homie go ahead the post history is available. 

At this point its settled science. I don't debate about flat earth it doesn't require an opinion. Saying lul Darnold sucks lul Darnold sucks in every thread isn't football talk. There's other poo to look at.

I think Brady is an issue too. Teddy isn't a long term franchise option, but with NO and with DEN he is scoring TDs pretty well. And DEN has a terrible OL too, and imo are weaker at skill positions than we are. Yet the % of TDs he throws dropped quite a bit here relative to NO and DEN. Teddy probably has this team with 2 losses and atop the division...

Just goes to show you that even a good defense will still be a losing effort if the offense can't do anything. Offense is more important in today's NFL. 

Yep. So even their strategy of building a stout defense ultimately backfired.

We've never had a more clueless head coach than Rhule.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
