I'm all in on drafting a good enough roster that can adequately support a QB. This roster ain't it and bringing in someone new too soon means wasting valuable years under their rookie contract. Also, new QB means new HC. I don't trust Tepper not firing Canales if the new guy falters out of the gate.

Canales has the same problem just about every other HC in this league have: they are too stubborn in what they want to do. Sometimes, he can contain himself and plays to the strengths of this team. But then his playcalls get way too cute, he forgets that our running game exists and he goes for these low percentage play calls that are a waste of a down. That said, a new coach won't necessarily solve anything, either. They'll just have their own sets of flaws to complain about (Fox was overly conservative. Ron had poor clock management, etc.).

Man, it's been a while since the Huddle melted down after a loss. Only missing a "Start Weinke" thread.

I thought for a moment that "performance" was from 2023. I presume that was the Cam game at Miami in 2021.

Doesn’t make sense to me to trade away Thielen thinking about the long-term and then suddenly trade now for someone to help us in the short-term.

I used to work within the gaming industry, but I'm very much glad I finally got out. The whole problem gambling angle always came across as a "We do it because we have to" more than a genuine effort. Also, someone once told me that if you're gambling because you think you'll actually make money, you're doing it for the wrong reason. But that's how it's often marketed. Hey, look at this guy with a wad of cash and hot babes around him. I very much am not surprised how pervasive gambling and sports betting has become since I saw it up close when it was much more limited.

None of our tight ends is Ian Thomas. Instant upgrade. As of now, feels like a tight end by committee. Combined, they will contribute but none will pop off for a big game. Hopefully, one will start to pull away.

I was here to remember that Jenkins had trouble keeping his weight down and was trashing his own teammates. Can't say I was that upset when we finally traded him. Given the Jets really only got one good season out of him before he flamed out, trade was the correct one in retrospect. At least from a likability perspective, Brown is better than Jenkins and it's not even close.

How will they find a way to keep Luke out this time? It shouldn't even be a discussion but I fear they'll find a way. Unless the rules changes, I don't think anyone else will get in.

If they want to be petty, they could just retweet this. Nothing else needs to be said.

Live view from outside MetLife Stadium...

Ryans is blaming his kicker for not kicking it out of bounds to have the two minute warning timeout. Noting it because calling out your players publicly like that tends to not be a good indicator on keeping one's job in the long term. I don't regret drafting CMC. Problem was that we needed him earlier when Cam was in his prime. Instead, he came in once Cam already had his infamous shoulder injury and was already regressing.

Oh, good grief. Another blunder to add to the many blunders in this game tonight. And the game is finished by another blunder.

Incredibly, the Texans may still win this.

The Texans are trying their hardest to give Stroud the Jets Darnold treatment. And Darnold is trying his hardest to show that he's still Sam Darnold.

Ah, there's the Sam Darnold we know!

Will a Seattle team let its fans down a second time tonight? Let's find out!

We protected Cam Newton with these two. If PFF was around then, they might've had a zero in pass protection when they allowed nine sacks against the Eagles in 2014. If you add two of our guards from our 2023 season, that may be the all-dud of offensive lines.

Is it just me or is every team losing players left and right?

And that's technically an improvement from when we'd get negative yards when we tried short stuff like that. But we still have a long way to go. Example: Gibbs taking that little dump off and getting a chunk of yards. Next play, touchdown.

Not used to seeing 50+ yard field goals being missed nowadays.

I remember him getting arrested. Same year that Dwayne the Lame Jarrett was busted for DWI, I think. Also same season we had Otah who had a promising rookie season before it all fell apart.

Not until we're playing a game that matters in February. In fairness, current Bills and Ravens still haven't done that yet. But to be more realistic, we have to be the best team in the division. Even if we had everyone back and healthy, we're not there yet.
