Chubba Hubbard... Boom or Bust?

It can be Chu Chu Kazoo for all I care. As long as he plays like he did in the second half going forward I'll support him. My favorite thing about him yea he had a slow start and he took some hits, but he protected the ball and didn't fumble once.

Agree…he doesn’t have much power but when he finds a hole he has speed. Need to keep him from dancing and thinking too much.  One cut and go.

Royce going to get a lot of reps in the next 10 days to get up to speed. Shoulda kept Mike Davis

Mike Davis has lost his job to a career WR.

I had a feeling Chubba was going to drop that TD pass because Darnold let it go a little early. That meant that the ball was on him just as he turned. It's harder to catch when you only see it for a second, but he still should have caught it.

He showed up towards the end but he was not doing good at the beginning. He was tripping all over himself and then going down on first contact man...

Lining up out of position and having to be redirected. 2nd half he showed up.

Everybody in Atlanta is about to lose their job. I'm not surprised.

I just hope one of our TE s becomes a reliable outlet for Darnold when he feels pressure because of our weak OL.

Tremble showed some bright flashes tonight in the offense. Especially for someone who was supposed to be a blocking specialist.

horrific drop on that td

not really. as great as Sam was, that was a pretty off throw. We're just used to that being automatic because we have a top 5 slot receiver playing RB for us

People are acting like our O Line is full of world beaters let alone that the Texans don’t have a halfway decent D. This being said he did fine for a rookie forced into a situation. Clearly people are forgetting he’s a late round pick not a damn day 1 pick give him time.

Our o-line was gassed from the Sunday game. To make matters worse the Texans were jumping our snap count badly and it wasn't fixed for several possessions. Once we fixed the snap count problem the Texans d-line got gassed and became ineffective.

They sacked us 3 times with 5 qb hits, 3 passes defended and 2 forced fumbles.  I think it is our worst showing yet against the lowest rated DL we've played.   Elflein may have sucked, but if feels like the line as a whole appeard to perform better with him.   I think we did better when Williams was out against a tougher Dline.

TBF I think Darnold was holding onto the ball longer tonight.  We had 117 yards rushing and CMC was only  31 of that, so that is a good sign.

IMO I think Darnold could still wind up like David Car if this season goes bad.  I know he has played fairly well in the last 3 games but he still looks spooked to me and how much he gets hit this season will decide it.  CMC was like a good luck piece for him- well not really luck but by  being CMC - just a given -  he always knew Mac was there to dump off to and was reliable to make a gain out what would be a loss for any one else.  I am hoping CMC's injury isn't long lasting or season hampering cause unless someone else steps up big time on the offense it could well make the difference for Darnold and our team.
