if Jags lose today that’ll be it for Pederson.
Wow jags d is dreadful

Nice drive by Maye there.

That is why I liked Drake Maye  
jvm52106 : 10/20/2024 9:49 am : link
So much in the draft. He has all the tools to work with. He changes arm angles and is quick to decide where to go with the ball..

Bad thing for Gmen, Patriots now score on first drive leaving only Philly to not score any points on first drive. Please let that stat stay that way one more week.
Pederson  
JT039 : 10/20/2024 9:52 am : link
Might be the worst coach in the NFL.
Yeah, everyone focuses on Lawrence and I get it  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2024 9:59 am : link
but every phase of the Jags is bad or awful. Not really sure how Pederson keeps his job.
Another good draft  
Sammo85 : 10/20/2024 10:00 am : link
And Pats rebuild will be close to complete in just a year or two span and in a division with Jets heading into rebuild, questions on Tua and Dolphins overall.

I thought hiring Neilsen as DC was a good hire but their defense has been awful.
That last pass to Henry  
jvm52106 : 10/20/2024 10:01 am : link
Is what a pro QB needs to do, hit the receiver out of the break and out in front. Wait until he turns and the defense is all over it..
Jags D allows 30ppg

This is the NFL of today. There is no such thing as stacking talent and total domination through rosters. They have some defensive pieces, they’ve drafted a few young OL now that need seasoning. They have lots of cash to spend on FA next couple years. A good draft and some additions around Maye will make a huge difference. They have the QB.
Yeah I agree

I don’t think you guys fully comprehend just how dreadful that roster is. Maye should be fine. But the rest of the roster is one of the worst you will ever see. Next year? Not a damn chance

It’s happening now in our division (and a year early). It’s the NFl, franchises change on a dime, how many times do you need to see it to believe it?

I do. I’ve watched the Giants embarrass themselves stacking bad decisions in rebuilding or ignoring rebuilds or obvious bad decisions the last 12 years.

As for Pats, given their honesty with their decision making and roster rebuilding - I’m not saying they are a contender in 2025 but they might be close to doing so in 2026.

Belichick ran that team into the ground personnel wise.
I said “start competing for the division as early as next year”  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2024 10:58 am : link
that means 9/10 wins. Why is that out of the realm of possibility if Maye is the goods?
Speaks well for Schoen that Maye

Seems pretty realistic. Sure they have a ton of holes to fill but if they have a solution to the. Biggest one at QB then they can certainly become a better than .500 team easy. They need to fix the OL above everything, looks worse than us the past couple years. Their defense is solid and in good shape, a strong FA and draft and they can certainly be in the mix if Maye keeps progressing.

Even if he does, this team is a long way from winning 9-10 games next season

Passes up a chip shot FG to go up 3 scores to go for it on 4th and 1. I give up.
Things like the draft and FA exist  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2024 11:45 am : link
put the 2023 Giants offseason on a legit Maye Pats team, and you are contending for the division IMO.

The Commanders allowed 30ppg last year and scored 19ppg, how’s that looking now?

How does it look good? Did he get Maye? No! So he recognized that Maye could be a good QB? He's a real genius! But did he do his job and get Maye? No. And we get another year of Jones.

Giantimistic : 10/20/2024 12:50 pm : link
I will tell you that the talk is not that this team is in a turnaround place. They don’t think they are one draft away and they are very down on the coaching staff.

For those who want a QB in this draft, if the Giants do decent on their record, pats are the team to go after their draft pick. They have to trade down and will have a top 5 pick.

I don’t really get that “as long as the offense is set”  
Leg of Theismann : 10/20/2024 4:15 pm : link
There’s no runoff? Even with illegal formation? So in situations where you get tackled with 3 seconds left in FG range, why not just get the 2 closest guys to the ball to just snap and spike the ball- so as long as everyone else on the offense gets into a “set” stance it’s just a 5 yard penalty for the most illegal formation ever but at least the clock stops
