He absolutely did. Whether you think it's loaded or unloaded, you never point a weapon at anything or anyone you don't want to destroy and you most certainly don't take for granted a weapon is "safe" unless you have unloaded it or seen it unloaded. You always treat any firearm as though it's loaded even when it's not. That's basic firearms safety 101.

Just because we were robbed in the first 2...

I'm confused. I didn't see Temple or Baylor on his resume'.

Was Goff ever a good long term QB?

Von Miller traded to Rams for a 2nd and 3rd. Adrian Peterson signs with the Titans. So we likely aren't trading away a RB and a big name defender went for a likely late 2nd and 3rd. So if we tried to move Djax, that's probably a comparable value.

Brady is the GOAT qb and he has valid points about protecting yourself and the receivers, but let's not BS ourselves. He is the most protected QB in the league by the league and it ain't even close.

Don't consider it a hospital ball because of the angle of the defender. If he had been running directly into him, yes its a hospital ball. Watching it, it's a perfectly timed hard hit in a perfect spot to rock Robbie.

Yeah, really no contest there.

A few of us were saying this a couple of weeks ago. Cam made sense just from a backup perspective if Darnold got hurt because PJ was taking us nowhere.

I've been watching the Panthers ge. I'm loaded.

Okudah may never be the same after that injury and if we could somehow package Dante and a pick/mid tier player for Sewell I would do it.

At least he recognizes there's an issue and is seeking help to fix it. Too many times for too many people this ends badly and just gets swept under the rug and forgotten about.

1st quarter but we got hosed by the refs.

If I ordered a can of stickum, think Prime could have it there by the 3rd quarter?

We expressed interest in trading for Watson which could have forced a decision by Goodell to let him play which could have some very serious bad PR for the league. Ref job is our punishment for possibly making Goodell look bad.

7-2 beers to shots by halftime.

I miss Bersin. He couldn't do a lot but his hands were glue.

Players are demanding more and more of their bodies. The harder you push, the more likely you're going to have something break.

Christianson leads the team in sacks preventing 2.5 turnovers.

I wanted Trubisky or Minshew, both of whom could have been had for much less. I'm trying to be supportive of Darnold since he's our QB but damn he can make it difficult.

The way Darnolds been handled is the strangest part of all of this. If we're going to treat him like a rookie, and expect him to perform like one, then having PJ as a backup makes no sense. Darnold would need to sit and learn behind someone or from coaches, which he supposedly lacked with the Jets. You don't go and extend him for 18m as a "rookie". It's like paying bloated contracts to QBs 15 years ago because they were the first pick. That's essentially what we did. If it's possible with all the VR tech out there now, I'm putting Sam in a simulation constantly making him learn to see defenses from the field over and over again. There's only so much you can work on in practices. In some areas we're better than we were, in others well, we know. Coaching players up only goes so far in the NFL. These are all higher end players already and you can only bring them so far. They either have it or they don't.

First 3 games were simple, give it to CMC. Last 4 games, where's CMC?

One thing both of them have going for them is the strength of their olines. That's hard to ignore as an OC and I think it would take someone who has seen the value of calling plays behind a wall rather than a sieve to get us focused on building a respectable line

He's saying he needs to slow his game down and stop being so jumpy. The old adage slow is smooth, smooth is fast comes to mind.

Unless this team finds a new philosophy it will be a long time. We have to prioritize building and maintaining an offensive line.
