No game will play out perfectly, despite design. There are many moving parts and variables within both teams that interact on the field of play. If you come out with more points than your opponent and see that you could have played better with some small changes/reversals of fortune, you had a good week. In the end, half the teams in the league would trade places with us today. (talking about W/L - don't be pedantic. :P)

Maybe they went vanilla when they were up to save something for the Saints. They were holding Back so the Saints couldn't scout as good.   Two steps ahead...

Good take.

Look on the Jets' game as the 4th pre-season game, with the reps given the starters equaling a tune-up for the season to come.

Now we get down to business.  Look out for Robby, who was underused.

We purposely kept ourselves out of the end zone of the worst team in the league for an entire half so we wouldn't give the Saints extra game film?

Not that, but it may just be that we were setting them up not to expect quick slants over the middle yo Robbie, in the 10-15 yd range we so studiously avoided.

THAT would be chess, 3 moves ahead.

I mean this is the type of game football is. If we convert those chances early in the game and win comfortably no one would be talking about questioning Rhule and Brady. Just like how a quarterback is only as good as his kicker, so too is play calling only as good as its execution. I find no issue with what Rhule is saying here.

Just my opinion, but I'd be inclined to say Brady. 

 

History, says, if we are playing conservative football, sitting on a lead, and playing to the defense....that is Matt Rhule.   

That's how he made his name and got to the NFL.  Putting it on the defense.

Brady did fine. It came down to execution and being subpar at some positions on the o. The theory that we purposely didn't score in the red zone to not give up game film... might be the most ridiculous thing Ive ever read on this site  (except the Hurney 2.0 bullshit, that takes the cake).

From the Athletic

 

So perhaps some of us were too hard on Brady. The calls could have yielded points if the execution was there. 

Football is ALWAYS about execution. 

Why did Miami beat App State? Execution. App has a bad snap on punt team that goes for a safety. App throws an interception inside their own 10 yard line. App's QB overthrows the TE in the endzone and has to settle for a field goal. App missed a two-point conversion on their final touchdown due to a fumbled snap.

The game was decided by 2 points. 

Execution friends, is what decides football games that are close.

Anyone who immedietely turns to blame coaches without breaking down the plays that they disagree with don't know football. Part of that is why I left the Huddle for a couple of years. Andddd it's still the same.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
