What kills me is how we get a lead and then we go conservative trying to protect a lead in the 3rd quarter.......🤦🏻‍♂️ I watch other teams trying to pile on til end of 4th. Sammy D was great the 1st half, the. They do that predictable run formations trying to protect the lead and mess up the rythem that was moving the ball 😭

Yeah, it felt like we were playing "not to lose" instead of playing "to win". This was what I hated about the Rivera Era. I really want to get away from that.

I think it was more of "lets not put anything more than we need to on film"   The game was pretty much in hand or at least it felt like it was.  No need to show any more.

He literally wrapped his arms around him and hugged him. 

It wasn't a block in the back call. That and clipping are negated by the defender turning his back. 

It was holding. You hug a guy like you haven't seen him in 20 years you're getting flagged 

It was truly one of the more blatant holds you'll see in a football game. No clue how anyone could have an issue with that call.

I would agree with you if we were up by 30, or even 20. If that was our thought process with that small of a lead, then we are in trouble, because that means our coaching staff doesn't get it.

The staff either severely underestimated this Jets team and thought they would just roll over in the second half or they are they can't adjust a game plan mid-game.  Regardless of which it was...possibly both, that bodes poorly on the coaching staff.

Not that I disagree, but the Jets also made counter adjustments and we didn’t figure that out until the fourth quarter. It’s a two way street on this stuff. It’s not like we rolled over and played dead.

That was the most obvious hold I have ever seen

My point exactly.  If Brady had no idea the Jets D was going to come out in the second half and get after Sam Darnold after getting blanked in the first half, then he's a twit.  It shouldn't take more than two series to see if the opponent has shifted strategies.  Heck, I noticed the difference only after our first series. The Jets front four was bringing the heat every snap.  Yet, Brady insisted on still pushing the ball down field.  It wasn't until the 4th quarter he started to dial up plays to counter the Jets front's aggressiveness.

I’m tired of the Panthers being the CMC Panthers. They need to stop running him in the ground like they did first game. Way to many runs, even though they said they will not overuse him. 
 

I feel we are relying way to much on him and when a team shuts him down, we are not going to know what to do.

This is what I think as well. Why show anything you don’t have to against an obviously inferior opponent? 
 

We can be validated next week against the Saints.

It really is a problem. I hope yesterday's usage was about easing Darnold in and getting him comfortable.

I get it, when you have a versatile and dangerous weapon like that you want to go to it as much as possible, but after talking about the need to monitor his usage we need to see that actually come to fruition.  CMC accounted for 30 touches. All other RBs combined for 2. We had 62 offensive snaps. CMC was the target on damn near half of them.

That's not sustainable and I thought him being banged up last year would've taught us that.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
